The Characteristics of Oral Microbiota in Chronic Pancreatitis and Autoimmune Pancreatitis
There are more than 700 different bacteria colonized in human oral cavity, which are collectively referred to as oral microbiota. Emerging evidence suggests that oral microbiota plays a series of important roles in human health, such as immune response, carcinogen metabolism and nutrient digestion. The changes of oral microbiota composition …
Prospective Single-center Study About the Use of ctDNA in the Management of Patients With Tumors of the Gastrointestinal Tract
This study will evaluate the use of ctDNA in the clinical management of patients with tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.
Characteristics of Intestinal Microbiome Following Pancreatic Surgery
The goal of this observational study is to learn about intestinal microbiome structure and function in individuals who have undergone a pancreatoduodenectomy and compare to healthy matched controls. The primary objectives of the study are: To explore and describe any differences in the gut microbiota especially Shannon diversity index To …
Profiling the Intratumoral Microbiome of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Based on EUS-FNB Tissue Samples and Exploring Its Impact on Tumor Diagnosis and Prognosis.
The goal of this observational study is to use endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) to investigate the intratumoral microbiome profile in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and to evaluate its potential impact on tumor diagnosis and prognosis. PDAC is the most common and lethal type of pancreatic cancer, accounting …
Assessing Pancreatic Fistula Rates After Distal Pancreatectomy Using AEON Endostapler
This prospective, observational study evaluates the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) following distal pancreatectomy (DP) using the AEON™ Endostapler. The study involves 110 patients undergoing DP and assesses primary outcomes based on the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) classification, alongside secondary perioperative parameters. The findings aim to …
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 …
Radiographic Response to Chemotherapy in Unresected Localized Pancreatic Cancer
The goal of this observational study is to explore whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can early predict and evaluate the treatment response of first-line chemotherapy in locally advanced and borderline resectable pancreatic cancers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: What quantitative parameters of CEUS performed before first-line …
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 …
Comparison of the Physical Activity in Cancer Patients Assessed by Questionnaire and Motion Tracker
Physical activity is an important aspect of cancer therapy but correct measurement of physical activity is difficult. In this study, the physical activity of patients undergoing cancer therapy is assessed by questionnaire and by motion tracker. The results are then compared to answer whether there are differences between the two …
