Our preliminary research has explored the detection efficacy of minimal residual disease (MRD) in pancreatic cancer. In patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing dual-agent adjuvant chemotherapy, the median recurrence-free survival (RFS) is approximately 13.9 months. Due to the high postoperative recurrence rate, short survival time, and intense systemic chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients, there is an urgent clinical need to more accurately identify which patients will benefit from adjuvant therapy. This study aims to evaluate the application value and guiding significance of peripheral blood MRD in the decision-making process for adjuvant treatment in patients with resected pancreatic cancer.

DFS
DFS refers to the length of time after treatment during which a patient remains free of any signs or symptoms of the disease. It is primarily used in cancer research to measure the effectiveness of treatments in preventing recurrence. Median follow-up time up to 18 months
Time frame: up to 18 months
OS
OS measures the length of time from either the diagnosis or the start of treatment to the death of the patient, regardless of cause. Median follow-up time up to 18 months.
Time frame: up to 18 months
