INTERVENTIONAL
Feasibility of Molecular Biology in Pancreatic Cyst Tumors
The main objective of the study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intra-cystic fluid DNA molecular analysis to standard diagnostics. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of intra-cystic fluid DNA molecular analysis.
Multicenter study to determinate the feasibility of intra-cystic fluid DNA molecular analysis in patients with suspected cystic tumours of pancreas in whom EUS FNA is clinically indicated. Morphological criteria obtained by MRI and computerised tomography (tumor characterization (size, metastases presence, dilatation of bile ducts), etiologic diagnosis, serious symptoms), biological exams (biomarkers), cytological analysis will lead to a diagnosis and a treatment. The goal of this study is to compare this standard diagnostic modalities to diagnosis obtained by intra-cystic fluid DNA molecular analysis. Is the DNA molecular analysis improve the diagnosis accuracy.

Arms and Interventions
| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| EXPERIMENTAL: single arm For inoperable patients with indeterminate cystic lesions of the pancreas,a EUS FNA will be performed and molecular biology analysis of pancreatic intra-cyst fluid collected by EUS FNA will be performed. For operable patients, after the pancreatic surger | GENETIC: Molecular biology analysis of pancreatic intra-cyst fluid
|
| Primary Outcome Measures | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison between gene mutations found into the pancreatic cystic tumor fluid to gene mutations found into tissue specimen | The nucleic acids of the samples will be extracted and then sequenced on a panel of about 70 genes implicated in the pancreatic tumorigenesis and targeting RAS, MAPK, AKT, JAK-STAT, WNT, TGFB, TP53 and Repair BRCA, ATM. The selected sequencing technology (HaloPlexHS ®, Agilent) will be used. A comparison of the molecular profiles between the cystic fluid and the surgical specimen will be carried out and then confronted with the pathology, biological, radiological and clinical characterization | 10 days |
| Secondary Outcome Measures | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the feasibility of the molecular biology analysis of the pancreatic cystic tumor fluid to distinguish the pancreatic cysts. | The nucleic acids of the samples will be extracted from the different cyst fluids and then sequenced. A comparison of the molecular profiles between the different cystic fluids will be carried out and then confronted with the pathology, biological, radiological and clinical characterization | up to 6 months |
