Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cephalic duodenopancreatectomy is the technique indicated for patients with pancreatic head carcinoma and periampullar tumors.

There are different technical variants, it is not standardized what is the best option in relation to local recurrence, metastasis and survival.

In the study, patients will be randomized into two study groups with pancreatic and periampullary tumors undergoing cephalic pancreatectomy (NT) vs initial approach by superior mesenteric artery (SMA).

The measurement of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) allows to assess the degree of cellular dissemination due to surgical manipulation.CTCs will be evaluated during surgery (nº CTCs / mL blood). To do this, a maximum of 4 blood samples from the portal vein will be performed, in each study group according to the following scheme:

* NT group: basal (at the beginning of surgery), portal vein pancreatic detachment, postresection (NT2) and before closure (NT3).
* SMA group: basal (at the beginning of surgery), after Kocher maneuver and SMA dissection, postresection, before closure.

Subsequently, the quantified levels of CTCs will be correlated with the occurrence of local tumor recurrence, metastasis development and patient patient survival.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

No Touch (NT)

Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors resection by no-touch technique

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

No Touch (NT)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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.

Superior Mesenteric Artery First (SMA)

Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors resection by superior Mesenteric Artery First technique

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Superior Mesenteric Artery First (SMA)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1\. Patients older than 18 years, with adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and potentially resectable periampullary tumors by cephalic duodenopancreatectomy or total duodenopancreatectomy indicated intraoperatively for technical reasons, who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients in whom liver metastases or peritoneal carcinomatosis are detected during surgery.
2. Patients with neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors or cystic tumors.
3. Patients in whom tumor resection is not finally achieved because it shows intraoperatively that the tumor is locally advanced and unresectable.
4. Patients with macroscopic residual tumor (R2).
5. High-risk patients with severe pathology (ASA IV) according to the American Association of Anesthesiologists.
6. Patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy
7. Patients in whom the intraoperative pathological anatomy indicates borders of pancreatic resection affected
