About this study

Official title: A New Anatomical Classification of Portal Venous Involvement in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer to Predict the Surgical Difficulty

In this retrospective study, we recorded the location of pancreatic tumors and relation/proximity to the portal vein. The surgical difficulty and requirement of additional interventions were also evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Between May 2014 and October 2018, all patients who underwent PD procedure were retrospectively reviewed. This retrospective cohort study identified all consecutive patients with T3 (stage IIA to III) adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas, who underwent concomitant venous (PV/SMV) resection. Those patients with locally advanced tumors that were not responded to neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. The local ethical committee was approved this study.

Data collection included demographical features, tumor characteristics including the PV level of the tumor considering computed tomography results, neoadjuvant therapy, surgical data, hospital stay, morbidity and mortality.

Anatomical classification was established based on the relationship between portal confluence (PC) and tumor location (Figure I). Those tumors located superior to the PC were classified as Level I, whereas tumors on the confluence inferiorly located to PC were classified as Level II and Level III.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • primary repairProcedure or surgery

    For Level I-II tumors, in case of segmental resection of PV/SMV, the reconstruction was performed by an end-to-end anastomosis either by direct suture (for defect under 2 cm) or by using an interposition venous or prosthetic graft. For this purpose, autologous grafting we used internal jugular vein and cadaveric iliac vein and alternatively, synthetic PTFE graft was also used.

  • segmental resectionProcedure or surgery

    Also called primary repair

    For Level I-II tumors, in case of segmental resection of PV/SMV, the reconstruction was performed by an end-to-end anastomosis either by direct suture (for defect under 2 cm) or by using an interposition venous or prosthetic graft. For this purpose, autologous grafting we used internal jugular vein and cadaveric iliac vein and alternatively, synthetic PTFE graft was also used.

  • graft reconstructionProcedure or surgery

    Also called segmental resection

    Regarding Level III tumors, complete resection of the tumor was done either by tangential excision or by partial venous excision and subsequent reconstruction. To maintain a secure anastomosis, the mesenteric root was mobilized completely or/and splenic vein was divided.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing primary repair, segmental resection and graft reconstruction in people with Pancreatic Neoplasm Malignant Head Primary, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

peri-operative or postoperative complication (time frame: up to one month). 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2022.
