Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the association between pre-treatment diversity of the fecal microbiome and major pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in operable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients. II. Evaluate the association between pre-treatment HEI-2015 dietary score and major pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients. III. Evaluate the association between pre-treatment HEI-2015 dietary score and diversity of the fecal microbiome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients complete a dietary survey and undergo fecal sample collection on study.
