Pancreatic Cystic NeoplasmsProspective, observational, cohort study to evaluate the reliability of preoperative work-up of patients submitted to surgery for pancreatic cystic neoplasms, in a tertiary referral center. A comparison between the preoperative diagnostic suspicion and the final pathologic report will be done.

Pancreatic DiseasesPancreatic Neoplasms1 moreThe objectives of this project are to test whether alteration in DNA hypermethylation in plasma is: a diagnostic marker for pancreatic cancer a prognostic marker for pancreatic cancer a marker for recurrence of pancreatic cancer changing during the course of chronic pancreatitis, with the purpose of finding patients with high risk of developing pancreatic cancer
Evaluation of Prognosis With Integrated MRI/PET in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic CancerThe aim of this study was to evaluate MR/PET with both functional and molecular imaging on the prediction of prognosis in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer.
Testing Spectrosense EVA System for Detection of Pancreatic Cancer by Analyzing Volatile Organic...
Pancreatic CancerVolatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in human breath are captured and analyzed by the Spectrosense EVA system, which is combination of a gas chromatography (GC) and software algorithm. The objective is to obtain a set or sets of VOC bio-markers that will provide the best discrimination between Pancreatic Cancer sick population and healthy population. The gold standard for identifying sick/healthy population is biopsy proven Pancreatic cancer.

Identify the Clinical Significance and Potential Implications of Peritoneal Washing Cytology (PWC)...
Pancreatic CancerPancreatic cancer is a disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Such poor results are largely due to a high incidence of local or peritoneal recurrence even after curative R0 resection. If occult microscopic metastasis or residual cancer could be predicted correctly and identify the high risk of peritoneal recurrence, we may have chance to treat these patients by different multimodal locoregional or adjuvant therapy to improve the treatment outcome.
Diagnosis of PCL With EUS-FNA and Cross-sectional Imaging - A Report of Accuracy
Pancreatic CystPancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma6 morePancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) comprise of a heterogeneous group of entities that are benign, premalignant or malignant. With increased use of modern imaging techniques in recent years, incidentally discovered PCL have become much more common. However, imaging modalities for characterising PCL is a known clinical uncertainty since imaging is capable of detecting these lesions but may often not be able to distinguish malignant from benign lesions. Incorrect assessment of PCL can lead to fatal consequences because a malignant lesion may not be treated and a benign may be unnecessarily resected. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions compared to cross-sectional imaging modalities (CT/MRI). Our hypothesis is that EUS-FNA has a higher accuracy for diagnosing PCLs compared with cross-sectional imaging.
