PANCREATIC NEOPLASMS

This study tested a special type of radiation therapy (SBRT) that targets pancreatic tumors while limiting damage to nearby organs. It included 36 adults with pancreatic cancer that could not be removed, was borderline removable, or had come back after other treatments. The main …

This study looked at the safety of the drug LYNPARZA when used as ongoing treatment after chemotherapy for people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer linked to BRCA gene changes. About 130 patients took part. The main goal was to track side effects like bone marrow problems…

This study tested a new way to give chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer that spread only to the liver, after the first treatment stopped working. Doctors delivered two drugs directly into the liver artery, followed by more chemo or pills. The goal was to see if this approach could…

This early-phase study tested whether adding high-dose vitamin C to standard radiation and chemotherapy is safe for people with pancreatic cancer. Sixteen participants received the combination therapy. The main goal was to check for serious side effects and see if the vitamin C c…

This study looked at 141 people who had pancreatic surgery to remove a tumor. Doctors wanted to see if taking out the surgical drains early (4 days after surgery) instead of waiting the usual 10-15 days would lower the chance of wound or belly infections. Patients who did not hav…

This study looked at a newer biopsy method called fine needle biopsy (FNB) for diagnosing pancreatic masses. Researchers wanted to see if FNB could provide better tissue samples than the standard method, fine needle aspiration (FNA), without needing a cytologist on site. The stud…

This study looked at 319 adults who needed an ERCP, a procedure to diagnose or treat bile duct and pancreatic problems. Researchers compared two types of endoscopes: one with a single-use disposable cover and a standard reusable one. The goal was to see if the disposable cover le…

This study looked at whether it is safe and possible to grow mini-tumors (organoids) from pancreatic cancer samples in the lab. Researchers took small tissue samples from 60 patients during surgery or a biopsy. They then tried to grow organoids and test different chemotherapy dru…

This study looked at 65 adults with liver tumors, liver metastases, or pancreatic tumors who received a type of radiation called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The goal was to monitor how safe and effective the treatment was and to improve the process. No new treatment wa…
