People who had prior pancreatic or liver surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks back at people who previously had surgery to remove part of the pancreas or liver at a specific hospital. It aims to compare different resection (removal) techniques and how patients did afterward.

This study looks at how the surgeon's cutting edges (margins) and the way the tumor sits in the pancreas affect outcomes for people having surgery for pancreatic cancer. By joining, you'll help researchers learn how to improve surgery and planning for future patients.
This study compares two ways of doing pancreaticoduodenectomy (a major surgery to remove parts of the pancreas and nearby tissue): minimally invasive (often smaller incisions) versus open surgery. It may help clarify which approach works best when the cancer looks potentially removable.
This is a research study using information from people who had certain liver, bile duct, and pancreas surgeries in the hospital’s surgical team. It aims to review surgical results and may help improve how these operations are done.
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 study tests whether surgery to remove liver tumors from pancreatic cancer can improve outcomes. It is for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver, and the tumor can be safely removed or destroyed.
This study compares two different surgery methods for removing tumors in the pancreas area. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients who are eligible for surgery.
