Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the investigators can use a specific marker in the pancreatic tumor itself to determine which patients will benefit from receiving combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine and cisplatin after undergoing resection of a pancreatic cancer. The investigators will also investigate if there is any benefit to receiving both chemotherapy drugs as opposed to only gemcitabine after undergoing complete resection of the tumor.

Detailed description public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

The study will specifically be looking at ERCC1 expression in pancreas cancer with regards to its prognostic and predictive value as a biomarker for patients receiving Gem / Cis as adjuvant therapy after resection.
