Spleen-Sparing surgery for pancreatic cancer: a safer future?
NCT ID NCT07157605
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study looks at whether removing the spleen during surgery for left-sided pancreatic cancer is always necessary. Currently, the spleen is taken out to remove any hidden cancer cells in the surrounding fat, but this can cause extra risks. By checking how often cancer actually spreads to that area in 94 patients, researchers hope to find that spleen removal may not be needed, leading to safer surgeries in the future.
