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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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. …
Pancreatic Cancer and Diabetes Mellitus
The goal of this observational study is to learn about post-surgery of pancreatic cancer diabetes mellitus.The main questions it aims to answer are: Are the incident rates of glucose metabolic disorders (pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus) after pancreatic cancer of different etiologies the same? Are alterations in endocrine and exdocrine secretory …
Evaluation of Resection Techniques for Pancreatic Tumors
The objective of this study is to compare open and minimally invasive pancreatic and liver resection techniques and analyze the different outcome variables from the clinical standpoint. The plan is to investigate patient survival, length of stay, complication rates, operative time, transfusion rate, 30 and 90-day readmission rate, and hospital …
