Comparing two surgical methods for pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a modified surgical technique to the standard one for removing pancreatic tumors. It aims to see if the new method lowers the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a type of cancer around the pancreas that can be removed with surgery.
- The cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
- Your heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys are working well enough for surgery.
- You have not had cancer in another body site.

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 a major pancreas-and-duodenum operation: laparoscopic (small incisions) versus open surgery (larger incision). It aims to see which approach works better for nonpancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma when the goal is cure.
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 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 for pancreatic cancer: keyhole (small cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s meant to see which approach works better for people who are well enough for either option.
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.
