About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Standard and Extended Lymphadenectomy for Pancreatic Head Cancer

The aim of this study is to determine whether para-aortic lymph nodes(No.16) should be included in the lymphadenectomy during the pancreatoduodenectomy in order to improve the long-term survival of patients with pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic cancer is now raised to the 7th leading cause of death. Surgical resection seems to be the unique curative therapy for pancreatic cancer. The pancreaticoduodenectomy is widely performed for the patients with pancreatic head cancer in recent decades. The lymphadenectomy is an indispensible procedure. In 2014, the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) recommended a standard lymphadenectomy should include lymph node stations 5, 6, 8a, 12b1, 12b2, 12c, 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, 17a, and 17b. However, no consensus was reached on Lymph node 16 in particular 16b1. There was no stronge evidence available concerning the impact on survival.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1 year overall survival rate (time frame: 1 year post-operation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
