Pancreatic Cancer Genetics
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the three most common BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) genetic mutations that are commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pancreatic cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in relatives of hereditary pancreatic …
Quality of Life of Pancreatic Cancer Patients:Psychometric Validation of Chinese Version in Taiwan
This study will investigate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of the quality of life scale in EORTC QLQ-PAN26 and EORTC QLQ-C30 on pancreatic cancer patients in Taiwan
Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Celiac Ganglion for Pain Management and Improvement of Quality of Life in Patients With Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
This study aims to evaluate the EUS-RFA in terms of efficacy for pain management and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced inoperable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate the utility of EUS-RFA for pain control and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients …
Evaluating Obesity-Mediated Mechanisms of Pancreatic Carcinogenesis in Minority Populations
This study will evaluate obesity-mediated mechanisms of pancreatic carcinogenesis in minority populations.
Effectiveness of the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Associated With Opioid Spinal Anesthesia on Analgesia After Cephalic Duodenopancreatectomy
Duodenopancreatectomy is a major, risky surgery that causes significant post-operative pain. Optimizing perioperative analgesia remains a challenge, and requires multimodal management, notably involving locoregional analgesic techniques. The thoracic epidural helps reduce perioperative pain, as well as certain postoperative complications. However, epidural analgesia is not without effects, and the data remains …
Role of Exosomes in Pancreatic Cancer Progression
The present pilot study is set up with the objective of identifying circulating markers in the biological fluids (blood and urine) of subjects with pancreatic carcinoma and their association with disease stage, to evaluate their potential use as predictive and diagnostic markers for this tumor of difficult early diagnosis and …
CtDNA-guided Maintenance Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer
This study aims to conduct a large-scale prospective clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of capecitabine monotherapy as maintenance treatment following standard adjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus capecitabine) in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer, and to analyze whether ctDNA-MRD testing can guide the selection of postoperative maintenance therapy.
Multi-omics Model for Pancreatic Cancer Screening Using cfDNA
This is a prospective case-control study, aiming at developing a cell free DNA (cfDNA) multi-omics precise diagnostic model for screening of pancreatic cancer.
Pharmacotyping of Pancreatic Patient-derived Organoids
EUS-FNB samples will be used for organoid cultures, which will be co-cultured with cancer associated fibroblasts derived from the surrounding stroma of the lesion. The organoid cultures will be used for pharmacotyping using relevant chemotherapeutic agents used in the clinic, and the organoid's response compared with the patient's response.
The Value of 68Ga-grazytracer PET in Monitoring Responses to Immunotherapy of Pancreatic Cancer.
This study aims to investigate the value of 68Ga-grazytracer in predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
