Filter by:In recent five years, the investigators have successfully developed different types of magnets and utilized in biliojejunostomy, concomitant biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during Whipple. This study is designed as a prospective study by utilization of the bar-like magnets for pancreaticojejunostomy.
A randomized multi-center phase II trial of nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine verus S1 with gemcitabine as first-Line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer
This study is to investigate whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus SBRT results in better outcomes compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone and also compare the efficacy of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel with SBRT and S-1 plus nab-paclitaxel with SBRT.
Pancreatic cancer is regarded as "the king of cancer". It is extremely malignant, with a low sensibility to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and a poor prognosis. Surgical treatment is very important for pancreatic cancer. Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) is a standard method for treating pancreatic cancer at the body and tail of pancreas. In the same surgical approach, the investigators are going to compare and discuss the advantages of laparoscopic and open RAMPS in the RCT study.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an indispensable tool for tissue acquisition for pancreatic lesions. However, FNA alone has several limitations including inadequate acquisition of cells, and unable to provide core tissue for further histological analysis. The use of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) by cytopathologist has the biggest impact on improving diagnostic accuracy and is regarded as the gold standard for EUS-FNA. Unfortunately, it is not widely available due to limited resources. In order to overcome these limitations, new fine needle biopsy (FNB) needles have been recently developed to collect not only cells but also the entire core tissue for histological analysis. Having core biopsy with preserved tissue provides additional advantages of allowing molecular analysis, which are of emerging importance in cancer management. Early results comparing FNB with FNA showed the superiority of FNB over FNA in the absence of ROSE. Data comparing FNB and FNA with ROSE are limited. In order to study to true merits of FNB over FNA, comparison with the most optimal method is necessary.
In this randomized trial two two self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) for treatment of malignant biliary strictures are investigated. A newly developed PTFE (Polytetrafluorethylen) (Teflon) stent is tested versus standard covered metal stents. PFTE (Teflon) coating promises improved formability over standard silicone-coated stents, easier removal through the soft surface, and significantly reduced tumor growth through the impermeable surface.
This trial was designed to investigate the safety, response rates and survival outcomes of patients with advanced solid tumors by trans-artery/intra-tumor infusion of PD1/PDL1 antibody and/or CTLA4 antibody ipilimumab plus chemotherapeutic drug and to compare their differences.
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend Nab-paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that sequential chemotherapeutic regimen can effectively delay the drug resistance and improve the effect of chemotherapy. Here investigators intend to assess the effect of sequential treatment with Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The aim of the multi-centre study is to evaluate correctly the impact of three dimensional visualization on operation strategy and complications for Pancreatic Cancer.
Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy remains one of the most challenging abdominal procedures. Safety and feasibility remain controversial when comparing minimally-invasive with open pancreaticoduodenectomy, especially for malignant tumors.The aim of this study was to compare minimally invasive and open pancreatoduodenectomy for short-term outcomes and long-term follow-up in a randomized trial.
