New surgical technique aims to reduce leftover cancer cells in pancreatic cancer surgery

This study looks at whether a specific surgical technique (called peri-adventitial dissection) can help surgeons remove all cancer cells during pancreatic cancer surgery. The trial involves 102 adults with non-spreading pancreatic tumors who are having a standard operation called a pancreaticoduodenectomy. The main goal is to see if this technique lowers the chance of cancer cells being left behind at the surgical margin.
