Zap first, cut later: radiation aimed at stopping dangerous surgery leaks
NCT ID NCT07370987
Summary
This study is testing if a short course of radiation given before a major pancreas surgery can prevent a dangerous complication called a pancreatic fistula, which is a leak of digestive fluid. The trial will enroll 50 patients in France who are scheduled for this specific surgery. Researchers will give patients two quick radiation treatments about a month before their operation, hoping to toughen the pancreas tissue and make it less likely to leak after being cut and reconnected.
