Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific kind of MRI, called Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Magnetic Resonance Imaging (USPIO MRI), which uses an FDA-approved therapeutic agent(Feraheme) to see if it is able to identify small and otherwise undetectable lymph node metastases in people who have pancreatic cancer and are scheduled for surgical resection.

  • 18 years of age or older
  • No uncontrolled serious medical or psychiatric illness
  • Women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or lactating

Exclusion Criteria

  • Known allergy to iron or dextran
  • Pregnant or lactating
