Filter by:Introduction: Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) comprise neoplasms with a wide range of benign and malignant varieties. The most common include serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms (SPPNs). Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) are used to diagnose different PCNs types. The cyst fluid aspiration and analysis is performed in difficult differential diagnosis. Frequently, amylase and CEA levels are measured. The choice of surgery depends on cyst location and size and includes pancreatico-duodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes after pancreatic surgery when adopted as the management of true exocrine epithelial cystic neoplasms.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal malignancies with a 5-year survival rate of only ~6%[1]. The reasons for this high mortality rate can be attributed to several factors, of which perhaps the most important is delayed diagnosis due to vague symptoms and consequently missed opportunities for surgical resection. Therefore, the ability to detect pancreatic cancer at an early, more curable stage is urgently needed. Identifying risk factors and biomarkers of early pancreatic cancer could facilitate screening for individuals at higher than average risk and expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease. Thus, the investigators propose this longitudinal study entitled, "Artificial Intelligence-based Early Screening of Pancreatic Cancer and High Risk Tracing (ESPRIT-AI)" in order to generate clinical data sets and bank serial blood specimens of high risk individuals.
Replication-competent Adenovirus-mediated Double Suicide Gene Therapy (Theragene®,Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP) showed safety and anti-cancer effect in patients with pancreatic cancer in phase I study. From the experience of phase I study, the safety and efficacy of combination with standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy with Theragene treatment will be assessed in this study.
The investigators create organoid from the pancreatic cancer tissue obtained via EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB within the pancreatic cancer diagnostic process. And also the investigators create organoid from the pancreatic cancer tissue obtained after surgery as part of the pancreatic cancer treatment process. Check for the reactivity to anti-cancer drugs through cell viability assay after treating with various anti-cancer drugs, such as anti-cancer drugs used as adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer to the organoid. Also, perform genomic analysis on each organoid, and then check if there are any unique genomic mutations for each organoid. By recognizing the relationship between the unique genomic mutations and reactivity to the anti-cancer drug within pancreatic cancer patients eligible for surgery, the investigators aim to strategize appropriate adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery, thus developing a platform to predict the outcomes of each patient.
The present study describes a 32-year-old female patient, in whom a preoperative imaging diagnosis confirmed a mass in the junction of the body and tail of the pancreas. Based on the anamnesis, on the preoperative diagnosis, and on the general status of the patient, the decision was made to performed laparoscopic enucleation of the pancreatic tumor. The operation and postoperative recovery passed without complications. A minimally invasive surgical approach should be applied whenever the dimensions and the localization of the tumor permits it, bearing in mind all the benefits and advantages that this surgical technique has to offer.
This is a multicentre long-term non-interventional study of adult subjects diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic, progressive, well differentiated (G1 and G2), somatostatin receptor positive GEP-NETs who have been prescribed Lutathera® in standard clinical practice.
There is still no consensus on whether drain fluid amylase (DFA) level, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, or complex scores predict clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of simple biochemical parameters (leucocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, Neutrophil to Lymphocytes Ratio (NLR), at postoperative days 1 and 3) to exclude the diagnosis of CR-POPF.
This trial will explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate and radiotherapy and chemotherapy (paclitaxel (albumin binding) combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin) in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
The study will be conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practices (ICH-GCP) and the Declaration of Helsinki, and in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including archiving of essential documents.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-arm phase Ⅱ study aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of above-mentioned combination strategy in first-line therapy-failed advanced pancreatic cancer. Totally 53 patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer are to be enrolled and receive anlotinib plus toripalimab and nab-paclitaxel.
