Body composition test after liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people do after surgery for liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer, using a body composition test (the “inBody” test). It may help doctors understand which body changes after surgery are linked to better or worse recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer
- You did not lose more than 10% of your body weight in the 6 months before surgery
- Your cancer does not have spread to distant organs (no distant metastases)
- You do not have severe breathing, kidney, or heart problems that would seriously limit organ function
- You are able to take part in the postoperative study testing (including the inBody test)

This trial looks at how well patient-recorded measurements can be used during cancer care around the time of curative-intent surgery or chemotherapy before surgery. It may help improve monitoring and decision-making during treatment.
This study checks how accurately a special scan (GSA) measures how well the remaining part of your liver works after surgery for liver, bile duct, or gallbladder disease. It aims to improve how doctors predict recovery and plan care after the operation.
This study measures body composition (muscle and fat distribution) in patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy to understand how these measurements relate to surgical outcomes and recovery. Understanding these connections may help doctors better predict and optimize results for future patients.
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) changes over time in people with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to better understand the effects of cancer treatment on the body.
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) changes in people with certain obesity-related cancers and whether these changes affect treatment outcomes. It may help doctors better understand how to support patients during treatment.
