Do modern scans make this cancer staging test obsolete?

NCT ID NCT07480005

First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looks at whether staging laparoscopy (a small camera surgery) still finds cancer spread that modern scans miss in people with liver, pancreas, or bile duct cancers. Researchers will review past and current patient records from 2012 to 2026 at one hospital in India. The goal is to see how often this procedure changes treatment plans, and to decide when it is truly needed.
