Summary
This study looked at whether using epidural anesthesia (a numbing shot in the back) during pancreatic cancer surgery helps people live longer and stay cancer-free longer. About 540 adults having surgery for pancreatic cancer took part. The goal was to see if this type of pain control improves survival and reduces stress on the body.
