Selective Extended Dissection in Different Types of Pancreatic Head Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort...

CarcinomaPancreatic Ductal

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant tumor with relatively poor survival. Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of patients with early pancreatic cancer. However, the surgical approach and the extent of resection for patients with pancreatic cancer are controversial at present. The investigators optimized the procedure of standard pancreaticoduodenectomy to selective extended dissection (SED), which is based on the extra-pancreatic nerve plexus (PLX) potentially invaded by tumor. The investigators retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who underwent radical surgery in our center from 2011 to 2020. Patients who underwent standard dissection (SD) were matched 2:1 to those who underwent SED using propensity score matching (PSM). The log-rank test and cox regression model were used to analyze survival data. In addition, statistical analyses were performed for the perioperative complications, postoperative pathology and recurrence pattern.

Study to Evaluate the Natural History of Head and Neck Cancer Precursors in Taiwan

Head and Neck Neoplasms

Background: - Cancer of the mouth and throat is one of the most common cancers in Taiwan. This cancer develops over several years, beginning as white or red patches in the mouth or throat that become growths. It can also cause a condition that leads to rigidity of the cheeks. The growths can be identified when a doctor looks into a person s mouth. It is currently not clear why some people with abnormal growths progress to cancer while others do not. Researchers want to better understand why some patients with early abnormal growths get late abnormal growths. They also want to understand why some people get abnormal growths again, even after they receive treatment. Objectives: - To understand why some people with precancerous lesions in their mouth develop cancer while others do not. Eligibility: - Adults 21 years and older, some with abnormal growths in the mouth, some without any, and some with head and neck cancer. Design: Participants will visit a hospital in Taiwan 2 times. At the first visit, participants will answer questions about their health, lifestyle, and family medical history. A doctor will examine the participant s mouth and take a small piece of any growth they see. They will do this with a brush. They will also photograph the participant s mouth. Participants will also give blood and saliva samples, plus a small sample of a mouth rinse. Participants who are diagnosed with a late abnormal growth that is not cancer will return for a second visit. They will answer the same questions and undergo the same procedures as at the first study.

Resectable Pancreatic Head NeoplasmResectable Periampullary Neoplasm1 more

Including 150 randomised patient, the studies aim is to determine whether an economisation and/or improvement in terms of operating time, drainage fluid, blood loss, time of hospitalisation can be found using an ultrasonic dissection device versus traditional surgical methods such as stitches an ligations.The study is performed for patients undergoing partial pancreatoduodenectomy.

Role of Immune Activation in Response of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma to Therapy

Head and Neck CancerOropharyngeal Cancer2 more

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the immune system in the response of squamous cell cancers of the head and neck to treatment that includes radiation therapy. Current research demonstrates that several natural immune cells and molecules affect the way the body's immune system interacts with a cancerous growth. Some cancers may be related to infection with a virus, such as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Studying the activity of the immune system in head and neck cancers, especially cancers related to HPV infections, can provide valuable information to better understand the body's interaction with cancer cells.
