Hidden artery problem may raise surgery risks for pancreatic cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07412301
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 99 adults with pancreatic cancer who are having surgery to remove their tumor. Researchers want to see if a narrowed celiac artery (celiac axis stenosis) leads to more complications after the operation. The goal is to better understand this risk so surgeons can prepare and possibly reduce problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help surgeons identify patients at higher risk for complications before surgery, leading to better planning and fewer problems after pancreatic cancer removal.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve outcomes for participants, and the findings may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
