Role of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC´s) Spread During Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Metastasis and Survival Rates in Patients With Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating No Touch (NT) and Superior Mesenteric Artery First (SMA) for Pancreatic Tumor and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 86 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This multicentre, prospective and randomized study aims(1:1) to compare the rate of recurrence, metastasis and survival according to the levels of intraoperative circulating tumor cells (CTCs) during cephalic duodenopancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Tumor resection by No-touch technique: dissection of hepatic hilum, dissection of superior mesenteric vein (SMV) in caudal aspect of pancreas, section of antrum, pancreatic neck section. Section-ligation of veins of duodenopancreatectomy part of SMV and portal. Then Kocher-uncrossing maneuver of the jejunal loop and final section of the retro-portal (back of the portal vein) blade.
Tumor resection by SMA technique: Kocher maneuver extends to the left renal vein (LRV). Dissection above the LRV of the SMA (refer to vessel-loop). Then, SMA will be identified on the caudal side of the pancreas (mesenterial root) and progressive dissection until its origin in the aorta artery (previously referenced with vessel loop).
