• No chemotherapy or radiation is planned before your surgery
• Your red blood cell levels (hemoglobin) are above 8 (confirm with trial site)
• You are reasonably active and able to care for yourself (ECOG score 0–2; confirm with trial site)
• You are at least 18 years old
• You are willing to have a tumor biopsy performed
• You are willing to allow previously collected tumor tissue (from past biopsies or surgery) to be used for research

Group 3 – Acute Benign Pancreatic Condition:

• You have been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis or another sudden-onset, non-cancerous pancreatic condition
• Your red blood cell levels (hemoglobin) are above 8 (confirm with trial site)
• You are reasonably active and able to care for yourself (ECOG score 0–2; confirm with trial site)
• You are at least 18 years old

Group 4 – Chronic Benign Pancreatic Condition:

• You have been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis or another long-term, non-cancerous, non-cyst pancreatic condition
• Your red blood cell levels (hemoglobin) are above 8 (confirm with trial site)

• You are at least 18 years old

Group 5 – IPMN (a type of pancreatic cyst) Control:

Group 6 – Benign Pancreatic Cyst Control:

• You have been diagnosed with a non-cancerous pancreatic cyst
• You are at least 18 years old

Group 7 – Healthy Control:

• You are at least 18 years old

Who may not be able to join:

Groups 1 & 2 – Pancreatic Cancer Groups:

• You have received chemotherapy or radiation for pancreatic cancer in a localised setting within the past 3 months (Group 1 only)
• Chemotherapy or radiation before surgery is planned for you (Group 2 only)
• You currently have another active cancer, unless it is considered low-grade or low-risk (confirm with trial site)
• You have a medical or mental health condition that could make it difficult to follow the trial's procedures

Groups 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 – Control Groups:

• You currently have or have previously had cancer, except for certain types of non-melanoma skin cancer
• You have been found to carry a gene linked to higher cancer risk, or you have a strong family history suggesting a genetic tendency toward cancer
• You have a medical or mental health condition that could make it difficult to follow the trial's procedures

Group 5 – IPMN Control only:

• Your IPMN has high-risk features or you are already planned to have surgery to remove it
