Filter by:1. Based on the literature, the pancreatic cancer treatment predictor biomarker, which is used in the domestic clinical field, is actually applied to the pancreatic cancer patient cohort of the National Cancer Center. 2. To systematically prospectively identify prospective treatment response biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer Cohort in the National Cancer Center
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in many cases is completely unforeseen by the patient, who often faces a disease that is already at an advanced stage, with poor prognosis. The clinical visit during which the diagnosis is communicated together with the first information regarding the planned treatments is of paramount importance. It is hypothesized that the clarity of such information is able to influence patients's engagement and thus the compliance. AIMS: The aim of this study is to collect quantitative data on the level of PDAC patient engagement and the rate of understanding of the information received from the doctor, and investigate the possible association between these two variables and with the patient's level of compliance. METHODS: This is a single-center, observational, cross-sectional cohort study focused on patients diagnosed with PDAC, approved by the Ethics Committee of the San Raffaele Hospital. As no preliminary data are available on the association between PDAC patient's understanding rate and their level of engagement and of compliance no power calculation is possible. This is a pilot study, aimed at enrolling at least 45 PDAC patients during a 3 months frame. CONCLUSION: COMMUNI.CARE will be the first study specifically investigating whether there is a relation between PDAC patients' rate of understanding, their engagement and compliance at time of diagnosis.
Background: Centralization has improved the outcome of complex operations including cancer surgery. Moreover, the implementation of multidisciplinary team conferences (MDT) has ameliorated the decision making, but the impact on patient outcome is controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the outcome of pancreatic surgery in the setting of centralization and upfront multidisciplinary decision making.
This prospective and open-label study evaluates the efficacy and safety of mFOLFIRINOX as postoperative chemotherapy in treating Chinese patients with pancreatic cancer after R0/R1 resection.
Pancreatic cancer is increasing in incidence and will be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in 2030 in the West. Only 10 to 15% of patients are eligible for curative resection with long-term survival rarely exceeding 20% at 5 years. The management of metastatic or recurrent diseases can not, unfortunately, be recommended to date because of limited data available (INCA 2019). However, recent, low-strength publications have reported encouraging results on the long-term survival of stage IV or recurrent patients. The aim of the present retrospective cohort study is to analyze results of surgery/destruction of metastatic synchronous or metachronous disease or local recurrence in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer
Study investigators will examine the absorption characteristics of apixaban, a direct-acting oral anticoagulation, in patients who have underwent a particular kind of surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy) which involves resection of the duodenum.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of siltuximab and how well it works in combination with spartalizumab in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as siltuximab and spartalizumab, interfere with the ability of tumors cells to grow and spread.
This is an open-label, single center, non-randomized, phase I trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of using the combination treatment of SHR-1210 with Paclitaxel-albumin and gemcitabine of metastatic PDAC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of plerixafor in combination with cemiplimab in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used by gastroenterologists to examine pancreatic masses and lesions. A fine needle is traversed through an endoscope and used to acquire tissue samples, which are then sent for pathology. The standard approach for diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions has been fine needle aspiration (FNA) (Han et al. 2016). However, the use of FNA comes with its limitations, some of which include multiple needle passes to acquire fluid, the need for on-site cytologists, and decreased diagnostic yield. Fine needle biopsy (FNB) is the latest approach being employed by endosonographers in lieu of FNA. FNB confers several advantages over FNB. First, FNB requires fewer needle passes than FNA to acquire tissue sample for immunohistochemical staining. In addition, FNB provides better tissues samples, greater sensitivity of the tissue core, and thus, improved diagnostic yields (Tian et al. 2018). Finally, FNB is more cost-effective than FNA and relies on pathologists, instead of on-site cytologists, and preserves the tissue core (Tian et al. 2018). The objective of this study is to establish a database of samples placed in formalin for patients who will undergo a fine-needle biopsy (FNB) for pathological evaluation without rapid on site cytological assessment.
