Comparing two surgery types for pancreatic body and tail cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of surgery for removing pancreatic cancer in the body or tail of the pancreas. One is a more involved surgery that removes more tissue around the pancreas, and the other is a more standard removal. The goal is to see if the more extensive surgery improves outcomes or not.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your pancreatic cancer must be in the body or tail of the pancreas and be able to be removed with surgery.
- Your cancer must not have spread to other parts of your body (no distant metastases).
- You must be in reasonably good health (able to do light activities).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery.

This study compares two surgeries for pancreatic cancer: laparoscopic (keyhole) pancreaticoduodenectomy and open pancreaticoduodenectomy. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications during recovery.
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery in people with early, left-sided pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It may help find the approach with better outcomes while aiming to keep the operation safe and effective.
This trial compares two standard surgical techniques for removing pancreatic head tumors: the usual surgery (partial pancreatoduodenectomy) versus a more extended version that removes additional tissue. The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes for patients, potentially improving survival or reducing recurrence.
This trial compares two types of surgery to remove tumors that start near the pancreas but not in it. The goal is to see if a newer, less invasive method works as well as the standard approach, which may mean fewer cuts and a faster recovery.
This trial compares two ways of doing the same surgery to remove a tumor in the pancreas. It looks at whether removing the blood supply to the tumor first makes the surgery safer or more effective than the usual method.
This trial compares two ways to reconnect the intestines after surgery to remove the head of the pancreas. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
