Prognostic Factors in Periampullary Tumors and Cysts
The project aims at analysing prognostic and predictive factors involved in diagnostics and surgical treatment of cysts and tumors in the pancreas and periampullary region using both clinical data and blood and tissue samples for biomarker development and validation.
Validation of a miRNA Panel to Optimize Treatment Response in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (mirPANC 2)
This study is being conducted to better understand how pancreatic cancer behaves during treatment and how we can improve methods for monitoring disease progression. The research aims to determine whether small molecules present in the blood, called miRNAs, can help doctors assess whether the treatment is working or needs adjustment. …
A New Clinical Pathway for Personalized Management of Borderline Resectable and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
NORPACT-3 is a nationwide, Norwegian single arm prospective study that evaluates the resectability rates and survival in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer who received primary chemotherapy. Eligible patients are treated with primary chemotherapy possibly followed by surgical exploration and resection. All Norwegian centres performing pancreatic surgery …
Effect of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program on Outcomes After Pancreatoduodenectomy
This study assesses whether patients with pancreatic cancer who undergo surgery experience improved outcomes following the implementation of a multidisciplinary care pathway, specifically an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program.This pathway includes various interventions in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care of these patients, all aimed at enhancing their health …
FAPi PET in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma commonly referred to as pancreatic cancer is a cancer which is known to involve the pancreas and the surrounding structures like blood vessels, which makes it an aggressive cancer. Treatment of the cancer is decided by how much the disease has spread. It has been understood from recent …
PROMs After Pancreatectomy
The standard of care for a patient with resectable pancreatic is to perform pancreatic resection which, even in the modern era is associated with significant complications and impact on quality of life, often in the setting of poor survival even in the best scenario. Currently, there is a lack of …
Assoc. of Genomic Polymorphisms With Cancer Cachexia in Subjects With Panc Adenocarcinoma
A major complication of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is cancer cachexia (CC) which is a complex syndrome characterized by skeletal muscle mass loss (with or without loss of fat mass) and progressive functional impairment not reversible by conventional nutritional support. It is estimated to occur in over 75% of patients with …
Pancreatic Cancer Genetics
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the three most common BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) genetic mutations that are commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pancreatic cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in relatives of hereditary pancreatic …
The Application of DNA Nanomachines for Detecting microRNA in Blood for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer. Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer
Previous research has shown that microRNAs in the blood can serve as biomarkers for early pancreatic cancer, with potential applications including detection, differential diagnosis, and prognosis prediction of pancreatic cancer. The current primary method for detecting microRNAs is RT-qPCR, but this process requires repeated temperature cycling, which demands high precision …
Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Radiofrequency Ablation for Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Lesions
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term clinical effectiveness of EUS-RFA and quality of life in patients with pancreatic or adrenal tumors recieving EUS-RFA.Primary Objectives:Clinical effectiveness: To evaluate the proportion of included patients who show doc-umented improvement in their clinical symptoms and biochemical parameters (blood test …
