Summary

This pilot research trial studies characterization of mechanical tissue properties in patients with pancreatic, liver, or colon cancer. Mechanical properties and stiffness of the cancerous tissue may be correlated with the standard pathology report that describes the stage of the disease.

Conditions

  • Colon Carcinoma
  • Liver and Intrahepatic Bile Duct Carcinoma
  • Pancreatic Carcinoma
