PREOPANC-4 Implementation Program for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
A prospective, nationwide, implementation program of the international standard of excellence for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) care in the Netherlands (2021[7]-2030[6]), including a multidisciplinary training program by the four leading international expert centers. The PREOPANC-4 project aims a safe and patient-centered implementation of the international standards of excellence for …
Management of Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction Between Surgery and Endoscopy
The aim of this observational study is to compare the outcomes of three different procedures performed for the management of malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction due to Pancreatic Cancer. Patients who undergo: Surgical gastroenterostomy Endoscopic placement of a self-expanding metallic stent EUS-guided gastroenterostomy in accordance with standard clinical practice, will be …
Bile Omics for Diagnosing Indeterminate Biliary Strictures
The diagnosis of malignant biliary strictures remains a challenging aspect of biliary endoscopy. Molecular biological testing techniques based on bile have been reported to improve detection rates. However, whether the combination of bile-based omics studies and biliary brush cytology/biopsy can enhance diagnostic sensitivity has not yet been reported. This study …
WATD and Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Study For Patients Undergoing Anti-Cancer Treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a commercial WATD (Wearable Activity Tracker Device) to collect HRV (Heart Rate Variability) data from pancreatic and breast cancer patients.
The PIPAC-OPC7 Study: The Use of PET/CT Scans as a Method of Evaluation in Patients Treated With PIPAC, a Pilot Study.
The pilot study will investigate the use of repeated FDG-PET/CT scans in 16 patients with peritoneal metastasis originating from abdominal cancers treated with Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy. The study will focus on the potential of repeated FDG-PET/CT scans to evaluate the treatment as well as the feasibility in the patient …
Response Prediction of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Gastro- Intestinal Cancer
Patients with gastric or colon cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis will receive a biopsy of the tumor during their primary curative surgery. The operation is performed according to standard and includes resection of the primary tumor and any metastases and followed by HIPEC (Intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion) according to the respective hospital …
The Role of MicroRNA in the Diagnosis, Prognosis and Response to Treatment in Pancreatic Cancer
Aberrant miRNA production has been linked to a wide range of human cancers and shown to play important roles in their genesis and growth. These miRNA can be detected in the blood and tumors of patients with cancer. The investigators hypothesize that the detection of certain miRNAs present in the …

Gastrointestinal Emergency Surgery: Evaluation of Morbidity and Mortality
Prospectively Defining Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Subtypes by Comprehensive Genomic Analysis
Researchers are looking for better ways of understanding and treating pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to see how useful it is to look for changes and characteristics in your genes (molecules that contain instructions for the development and functioning of the cells) and the genes within the …
Validation of a miRNA Panel to Optimize Treatment Response in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (mirPANC 2)
This study is being conducted to better understand how pancreatic cancer behaves during treatment and how we can improve methods for monitoring disease progression. The research aims to determine whether small molecules present in the blood, called miRNAs, can help doctors assess whether the treatment is working or needs adjustment. …
