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 pancreatic cancer patients who undergo planned surgery and how surgery-related factors relate to outcomes. It especially focuses on pre-surgery CT scans and the “margin” status from the pathology report, which may help doctors better plan treatment.
This trial is studying people with liver cancer (hepatocarcinoma) whose cancer returns (recurs) or never fully goes away (persists) after surgery. It looks at patterns after treatment at a specific study center, which may help guide better care 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 follows patients with diabetes who are having surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas (usually for cancer or benign disease). Researchers will track how the surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health over time.
