Filter by:Pancreatic duodenectomy is one of the treatments offered to patients with neoplastic disease of the pancreas. In France, in 2018, 14,000 duodeno-pancreatectomies were performed, including 140 at the Hautepierre hospital at the Strasbourg University Hospital. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgery, causing significant postoperative pain that should be minimized through multimodal analgesia involving in particular locoregional anesthesia. Since 2019, the recommendations of the ERAS company concerning ERAS (Improved Rehabilitation After Surgery) after pancreaticoduodenectomy recommend the establishment of thoracic epidural analgesia in order to limit postoperative pain. When there is a contraindication to the placement of a thoracic epidural, in particular due to arterial and/or venous vascular reconstructions requiring potential perioperative curative anticoagulation, the administration of local anesthetic by pericatricial catheter is recommended. recommended. The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block has proven analgesic efficacy, safety and harmlessness in colorectal surgery.
The indications for synchronous liver resection for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin remain debated and poorly described in the literature. The reported mortality of this type of simultaneous resection remains very high, especially when a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy is associated with a hepatic resection (up to 40%). The benefit in terms of survival remains to be evaluated. The ReSiPaTNE study proposes to create a retrospective cohort of simultaneous pancreatic and hepatic resections for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors in order to evaluate the short and long term results of this type of resection. The evaluation of the results of this type of resection may be useful for the selection of patients for treatment.
Unlike other types of gastrointestinal tumors, there is controversial evidence of the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with borderline and resectable adenocarcinoma (ADK) of the pancreas, the objective of this study is to perform a "snapshot" of the usual practice in our setting in terms of neoadjuvant therapy in ADK, both in terms of the different regimens used as well as the results in terms of morbidity, mortality and survival. Likewise, in a second phase, a prospective registry of patients included in the neoadjuvant regimen for both resectable and borderline ADK diagnosed in Catalonia will be launched, which will provide us with valuable information to try to answer open questions in the context of borderline and resectable ADK treatment.
It is a trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Penpulimab and Anlotinib in Combination With Nab-paclitaxel Plus Gemcitabine as first-line Therapy in Patients (Pts) With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer.
The aim of this study was to assess the risk and complications after preoperative drainage of biliary obstruction in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy. A retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2021. Patients who had preoperative bile duct drainage were compared to patients without intervention. Type of interventions, complications and outcome after surgery were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis.
AN UNUSUAL ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PANCREATIC CANCER AND PURTSCHER-LIKE RETINOPATHY
Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease. The cause of pancreatic cancer is multifactorial. However, around 10% of cases are associated with hereditary predisposition. Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, CDKN2A, STK11, DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2), PALB2, FANCC, FANCG, and ATM have been associated with an increased risk for pancreatic cancer. The prevalence of these germline mutations varies across populations. For instance, the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in high-risk populations can be up to 20%. On the other hand, in unselected patient population, the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations is 5-7%. In Mexican population, data on the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer are lacking. Identification of BRCA germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer has implications for treatment. Also, it allows genetic testing and counselling for family members. This study will determine the prevalence of germline mutations associated with hereditary pancreatic cancer using a comprehensive gene panel in an unselected cohort of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Mexico.
The purpose of this study is to examine the benefits of a clinical implementation of a DPYD-genotype test to patients starting treatment with fluoropyrimidines (Fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine, tegafur).
The primary aim of REuBio study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of repeated endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy after a previous non-diagnostic or inconclusive EUS-guided sampling of solid pancreatic lesions.
This is a feasibility study in which patients with pancreatic cancer are treated with intratumoral holmium microsphere injections.
