Purpose Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cancer-related mortality disease in the United States, with a five-year survival rate of 11%, and only 10 15% of all pancreatic cancer patients are operable or borderline operable.
Therefore, there is an unmet need for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer; however, biomarkers related to this are not well understood. This study aims to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer through duodenal pancreatic juice, which can be easily obtained through an endoscopy.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether aromatherapy essential oils are effective in alleviating anxiety and depression in participants undergoing perioperative pancreatic cancer treatment. Researchers compared aromatherapy essential oils with a placebo (a substance that appears similar but contains no essential oils) to determine their efficacy in reducing anxiety and depression in these participants. Participants were required to undergo aromatherapy for 2 hours daily over a period of 15 days. Assessments of anxiety and depression were conducted one day before surgery, 14 days after surgery, and 42 days after surgery, with their scores recorded accordingly.
We aim to compare the efficacy (diagnostic yield), ease of use, and technical success rates of EUS guided 22 gauge fine needle aspiration to core biopsy in the evaluation of pancreatic tumors. The experimental hypothesis is that FNA will have superior overall diagnostic yield than core biopsy.
Artificial intelligence technology is used to realize high-quality 3D scene reconstruction, whole process segmentation, scene activity understanding for common surgery guidance in hepatobiliary surgery, as well as intelligent identification, perception, early warning of key events in the whole process of endoscopic surgery (such as bleeding, blocking, tumor location, anastomosis, etc.), and decision-making assistance
The investigators hypothesize that MK2 inhibition may improve efficacy of mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
RATIONALE: AMG 706 and octreotide may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well AMG 706 and octreotide work in treating patients with low-grade neuroendocrine tumors.
Amphoteric regulatory protein (AREG), a member of epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is expressed in many tumors.Our study confirmed that the expression of AREG in the serum of patients with pancreatic cancer is significantly higher than that of patients with benign pancreatic diseases and healthy people, which is expected to become a new early serum marker of pancreatic cancer. The serum concentration of AREG was detected by traditional ELISA and compared with CA-199, which was a conventional tumor marker of pancreatic cancer. Next, we compare the advantages of using sensor to detect AREG compared with ELISA.
This study is a postmarketing requirement jointly carried out by four NDA holders (Bayer AG, Bracco, GE Healthcare and Guerbet) and the CRO IQVIA.
The study aims to create detailed images of the organs and tissue of the human body during x-ray, CT-scan or MRI investigations, doctors are using contrast media (a kind of dye) which can be given to patients by injection into a blood vessel or by mouth.
In this study researchers want to find out whether so called gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have an effect on body movement and mental skills when given to participants multiple times within 5 years.
The study plans to enroll about 2076 participants suffering from a condition for which they are likely to have at least annually a MRI or another imaging examinations. Only adults up to 65 years will be considered to join this study. During the study duration of 5 years participants will receive annually a MRI or other imaging tests (such as CT-scan, x-ray) and will visit the study doctor at least 7 times for physical examinations, laboratory investigations and tests on body movement and mental skills.
The goal of this retrospective cohort study is to analyze change of treatment strategies affect the survival outcomes in patients of pancreatic cancer who received curative-intent treatment. The main question it aims to answer is:
Hypothesis: Change of treatment strategies involving increased utility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and aggressive surgical approaches of extended pancreatectomy improved the overall and progression free survival in the patients with pancreatic cancer.
Participants received curative treatment for pancreatic cancer.
The Aim of this study is to investigate the amount of tissue required for the successful culture of primary cells from human-derived pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma which obtained by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy wet suction technique
