Incremental Value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Selection of Pancreatic Cancer Patients for Surgery

This study is looking at whether adding an MRI scan to the usual CT scan workup for pancreatic cancer patients helps doctors more accurately determine which patients are suitable for surgery — potentially avoiding unnecessary operations or catching those who could benefit from surgery but were initially thought ineligible. **You may be eligible if:** - You have suspected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma based on a CT scan - Your tumor appears locally resectable or borderline resectable (potentially removable) - You have no liver metastases visible on CT - You are at least 18 years old and able to give informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if:** - Your cancer has clearly spread (metastatic) - You have already received chemotherapy or shrinkage therapy before surgery - Your overall health makes surgery not feasible - You cannot have an MRI (e.g., reduced kidney function, claustrophobia, pacemaker) - Your final surgical pathology shows something other than pancreatic/biliary adenocarcinoma Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
