Radical surgery offers hope for debilitating pancreas pain
NCT ID NCT05453851
Summary
This study is testing a two-part surgery for people with severe, long-term pancreas inflammation (chronic pancreatitis) and non-cancerous tumors. First, the entire pancreas is removed to stop the pain. Then, the patient's own insulin-producing cells are collected and transplanted into their liver, aiming to prevent diabetes. The main goal is to see if this procedure is safe and effective for patients who also have these benign tumors.
