ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19‐9 levels and outcome in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer treated with neoadjuvant therapy (NT).
MethodsThis study included all patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, a serum CA 19‐9 level of ≥40 U/ml and bilirubin of ≤2 mg/dl, in whom NT was initiated at...
BackgroundThe fear of an early post‐pancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH) may prevent surgeons from prescribing post‐operative venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis. The primary hypothesis of this study was that the national post‐pancreatectomy early PPH rate was lower than the rate of VTE. The secondary hypothesis was that patients at high risk for post‐discharge VTE could be identified, potentially...
Background: Historically, liver surgeons have withheld venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis due to perceived postoperative bleeding risk and theorized protective anticoagulation effects of a hepatectomy. The relationships between extent of hepatectomy, postoperative VTE and bleeding events were evaluated using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database.
Methods: ...
Background: Following potentially curative resection at this centre, patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) are routinely enrolled in a programme of clinical and radiographic surveillance. This study sought to evaluate its diagnostic yield.
Methods: All patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for PAC at this institution during 1998–2008 were identified. Patients with asymptomatic recurrence...
