Quality of Life After Biliodigestive Anastomosis (BDA) or Stents to Treat Biliary Obstruction in Pancreas Cancer

BYPAPA
Start date: January 2010
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To compare the quality of life (QoL) in patients receiving a bilioenteric anastomosis vs. endoscopical stenting for palliation of biliary obstruction due to locally unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer. In the past, endoscopy seems to have been favoured based on older studies, but with new chemotherapeutic regimens available, the likelihood to experience stent complications has increased. Therefore, the issue as to which palliation should be favoured has to be reconsidered.
