Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the most pessimistic digestive cancer in terms of prognosis. Tumor response assessment is crucial, and the recent development of new magnetic resonance imaging sequences, such as high resolution applied to diffusion sequences (Harder et al., 2022) or magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) (Steinkohl et al., 2021), could help address this issue.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the addition of cisplatin to gemcitabine in the treatment of patients with inoperable advanced pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a short-course of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) prior to surgical resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is feasible and well-tolerated.
This is a single arm, open label Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of donafenib combined with S-1 in treating Patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer after chemotherapy with Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine regimen.
TNG462-C102 is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary antineoplastic activity of oral TNG462 in combination with RMC-6236 or RMC-9805. The study comprises a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase.
This study aims to pool the clinical experience of Spanish centers treating patients with 177Lu-DOTATATE to evaluate the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of the drug in routine clinical practice and to learn about the profiles of patients and tumors treated and the results in each type of patient and tumor.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Pancreatic enzymes may help kill cancer cells. It is not yet known if gemcitabine is more effective than pancreatic enzyme therapy plus specialized diet for pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is comparing the effectiveness of gemcitabine with that of pancreatic enzyme therapy plus specialized diet (Gonzalez regimen) in treating patients who have stage II, stage III, or stage IV pancreatic cancer.
Coeliac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a management option for pain control in carcinoma pancreas.CPN is conventionally performed by percutaneous technique with fluoroscopic guidance. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is increasingly used for CPN as it offers a better visualization of the plexus. There are limited data comparing the two modalities.The patients are on follow-up for 6 months post neurolysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of MM-141 plus nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine is more effective than nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine alone based on Progression Free Survival (PFS) in front-line metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with high serum levels of free IGF-1.
The radiologist plays a key role in the management of pancreatic tumours, which are potentially serious.
While the scanner, with its high spatial resolution, plays a major role in pancreatic pathology, and in particular in the assessment of operability, MRI, with its good contrast resolution, has proven its contribution to the detection and characterization of focal lesions.
Each MRI examination consists of several series of images called sequences, each with its own particularity, to highlight different types of abnormalities such as edema, bleeding, tumor content or vascularization. All the sequences performed constitute a "protocol". The diffusion sequence is a technology that allows the microscopic random movements of water molecules to be translated into images. It thus makes it possible to differentiate between certain aggressive tumours which are characterised by a higher cell density than healthy tissue, in which water molecules do not circulate freely, benign lesions such as cysts in which the circulation of water molecules is not hindered. The calculation of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), an estimate of the diffusion rate of water molecules, is a quantitative diagnostic tool validated in many fields of application and in particular in oncology.
