Filter by:The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
Patients who underwent major gastrointestinal surgery is potentially at risk of malnutrition due to reduced oral intake, increased nutritional need, reduced gastrointestinal absorption function, and/or metabolic changes after surgery. The postoperative malnutrition is associated with low quality of life and seems to be related long-term nutritional status. This study is a multicenter, open-labeled prospective randomized clinical trial to examine the effect of postoperative oral nutritional supplements (ONS) after major gastrointestinal surgery by comparing the change of body weight and other nutritional parameters between the experiment group that is supplied with ONS and the control group without ONS.
To see how a cohorte of 55 patients over periode 1997-2011 were mannaged, treated and survived duodenal cancer. Also to see how advanced the tumors were at time of diagnose and at time of operation.
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.
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.
