This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, histamine and IL-2, given before surgery can help treat pancreatic cancer. It may help the immune system fight the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving proton radiation and chemotherapy before surgery can shrink or control “borderline resectable” pancreatic cancer so it can be removed more effectively. It may help by improving treatment response while planning for surgery afterward.
This trial tests a combination of two medications (HRS-4642 and AG) given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
This trial tests whether giving a steroid called hydrocortisone before and after surgery to remove part of the pancreas can help patients recover better. It aims to reduce complications and improve outcomes.
This trial tests if taking a medicine called propranolol around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or colon cancer that can be removed with an operation. Propranolol is a type of drug that blocks certain stress signals in the body and may help with recovery.
This study looks at whether giving the heart medication propranolol before breast cancer surgery can help reduce heart damage after the operation. If you have high blood pressure or angina and are having breast cancer surgery, this may help protect your heart.
