Intraoperative Endoscopic Ultrasound for Pancreatic Cancer

Sponsor: IHU Strasbourg

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Nowadays pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest oncological pathologies. The only effective curative tool is the surgery. Before the intervention, an endoscopic ultrasound is performed on the patient to carry out the biopsy of the main tumor. In this study, the echoendoscopie will be extended to lymph node staging away from the surgical field in order to implement a simple classification of lymph nodes, based on non-invasive ultrasound criteria. This would facilitate the location and qualification of peripancreatic lymph nodes and distant from the tumor, and therefore the staging of the tumor.

Official title: Prospective Study of Preoperative Diagnostic Endoscopy for the Diagnosis of Occult Metastatic Lesions of Operable Pancreatic Cancer

Echoendoscopy

Peripancreatic lymph nodes and at a distance from the pancreas assessment by endoscopic ultrasound, elastography an doppler to record their anatomical location and characteristics. All lymph nodes suspected of metastatic disease will be marked with sterile black ink.
