About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Pancreatic Cancer focused on measuring periampullary cancer, margin status, R1 resection, clearance margin

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary cancer

Exclusion Criteria:

  • diagnosis of neuroendocrine neoplasm;
  • previous pancreatic surgery;
  • frozen section of each transection margins not performed or presence of positive transection margins without further resection (R1 intraoperative resection);
  • presence of macroscopic residual tumor (R2 resection).

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    R1 resection rate
    To evaluate difference in terms of R1 resection rates between study groups with 0-mm and 1-mm clearance

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    pathological data
    To evaluate differences in pathological results (T status, N status, number of blocks, number of lymphnodes, etc) between the two study groups
    oncological results
    To evaluate the correlation between R1 resection and oncological results (local recurrence, overall survival) in the two study groups

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This multicentric prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) compares the Leeds Pathology Protocol (LEEPP) with other "conventional" pathological protocol of PD specimen for periampullary cancer. Our aims were to evaluate the impact of the protocol and of the clearance on R1 rate and its prognostic value.
