Brief Summary: RATIONALE New diagnostic procedures such as laparoscopic ultrasound may improve the ability to detect pancreatic cancer and determine the extent of disease

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of laparoscopic ultrasound in diagnosing patients with stage I or stage II pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine whether a comprehensive laparoscopic examination of the abdomen with laparoscopic ultrasonography improves staging of pancreatic cancer with respect to a better assessment compared to CT of the extent of localized extra pancreatic disease b vascular invasion c regional lymph node involvement and d metastatic deposits in liver parenchyma II Assess whether one of the newer minimally invasive imaging techniques laparoscopic ultrasonography predicts vascular invasion in pancreatic cancer III Develop an optimal cost effective strategy for assessing resectability in pancreatic cancer

OUTLINE Patients who have undergone routine clinical staging CT scan angiogram etc and who have been classified as potentially resectable undergo laparoscopy and laparoscopic ultrasound LLUS At the end of the LLUS based on the new findings patients are reclassified as either potentially resectable or potentially unresectable All patient then undergo definitive staging those who have metastasis to the liver that can be pathologically confirmed by biopsy at the time of the laparoscopy are classified as unresectable and do not undergo laparotomy all others undergo laparotomy and then are classified as resectable or unresectable If 8 or more patients are misclassified at the time of the LLUS then this study is terminated

PROJECTED ACCRUAL There will be 50 patients accrued into this study with 25 patients in each stage In order to accrue 50 patients approximately 70 patients will undergo the initial routine clinical staging CT scan angiogram etc
