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.
This is a single-arm, prospective, interventional study in cancer survivors and patients to examine the feasibility of a mobile health application, Elly (Elly Health Inc.), to reduce levels of anxiety, stress, loneliness, and social isolation. Participants will be given access to the Elly phone application developed by Elly Health Inc. and will be asked to complete questionnaires measuring quality of life at multiple timepoints during the study.
This is a first-in-human, pilot study of the feasibility and safety of dapagliflozin (in addition to standard of care treatment) for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The primary hypothesis is that dapagliflozin is well-tolerated and safe to use in this patient population. The investigators also hypothesize that dapagliflozin will be efficacious as an adjunct to front-line chemotherapy assessed by decreased tumor markers mediated by its pleiotropic metabolic effects.
An observational study of the relationship between fat free mass and toxicity of cytostatics in cancer patients, at the department of Clinical Oncology at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde, Denmark. Fat free mass will be measured by bio impedance spectroscopy and data on toxicity will be obtained from medical records and interviews/questionnaires with the patients.
In this study, investigators aim to explore the status of advanced endoscopy in different endoscopy units all over the world.
Particularly, pancreatic fistula is the most common and serious complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and is reported in up to 40% of cases. The aim of this retrospective single-center study was to investigate the utility of the combination of preoperative inflammation biomarkers (PIBs) with postoperative day 1 drains amylase (POD1-d.a.) levels in predicting grade C Pancreatic Fistula (PF).
The study aims to evaluate factors associated with an increased risk of procedure related adverse events (including tecnical failure) of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures (ERCP) conducted in a teaching setting, with trainee involvement.
A randomized control trial to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a patient educational platform (PEP) for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies undergoing active chemotherapy treatment.
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 I, first-in-human (FIH) study is open-label, non-randomised and non-placebo-controlled. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous dose of SN132D in approximately 24 patients with breast and pancreatic cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed pre- and post-infusion of SN132D.
