Vein removal during pancreatic surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at patients having surgery to remove pancreatic cancer that has grown into a nearby vein. The surgery removes part of the vein along with the tumor to try to cure the cancer. The study will track how well patients do after this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.

- Your surgery is scheduled between June 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027.

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 trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
This study looks at removing certain lymph nodes near the aorta while doing a standard Whipple operation for pancreatic head cancer. The goal is to see whether this approach can improve how well doctors manage the cancer spread.
This trial compares two ways of doing the same surgery to remove a tumor in the pancreas. It looks at whether removing the blood supply to the tumor first makes the surgery safer or more effective than the usual method.
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 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.
