Filter by:The Quebec Pancreas Cancer Study is a prospective clinic-based study consisting of clinical, family history and epidemiologic data, with accompanying biospecimens, from patients diagnosed with either pancreas cancer, a related cancer or a related pre-cancerous condition, and their families.
This multicentric prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) compares the Leeds Pathology Protocol (LEEPP) with other "conventional" pathological protocol of PD specimen for periampullary cancer. Our aims were to evaluate the impact of the protocol and of the clearance on R1 rate and its prognostic value.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended phase II dose, and to assess the safety of acelarin in combination with cisplatin in patients with locally advanced/ metastatic biliary tract cancers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether fit patients (with ECOG performance score of 0-1) with advanced biliary tract cancer (ABC) benefit from chemotherapy in the second-line setting (after prior therapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine) in terms of overall survival.
The purpose of this registry is to record information and evaluate the impact of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Guided Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) on the management of pancreatico-biliary disorders. The registry will evaluate efficacy, safety and technical success of the Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)Guided Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. The safety and efficacy of various EUS-Guided ERCP procedures have been assessed in a series of studies. This multi-center registry has been initiated: - To document the impact of EUS-Guided ERCP procedures on the management of pancreatico-biliary disorders including malignancies. - To assess the clinical and technical success rates of EUS-Guided ERCPs for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Design is retrospective and prospective registry study. Procedures that will be captured include: 1. EUS-Coils placement 2. EUS Glue injection 3. EUS-Fiducial placement 4. EUS-Neurolysis 5. EUS-Stent placement 6. EUS-alcohol injection 7. EUS-fluid collection, abscess or cavity drainage 8. EUS guided ductal drainage 9. EUS-guided Ablation 10. EUS-guided anastomosis 11. EUS Guided ERCP for gallbladder, pancreatic duct or biliary duct drainage
Our institution performs therapeutic ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and Interventional Endoscopy in around 1000 patients a year. Procedures such as biliary and/or pancreatic sphincterotomy, stents placement (metallic or plastic) and removal for revision, cysts and pseudocysts drainage are conducted in patients suffering from pancreatico-biliary disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and esophageal disorders. The investigators would like to assess prospectively the efficacy and safety of these routine procedures to permit identification of technical details about the procedures or other factors which might be associated with outcome or results. Assessment of these details would help us with problem identification and recommendations to improve health outcomes and quality of life in these patients.
To assess the feasibility of administering induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel followed by concurrent radiation and continuous infusion 5FU and consolidation gemcitabine/docetaxel chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether resecting pylorus-ring decreases delayed gastric emptying after pancreaticoduodenectomy and improves postoperative quality of life (QOL).
The purpose of this study is to determine which stent type is effective in the decrease of postoperative stay and complications across pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
