Oncologic Impact of Splenectomy-omitting Radical Pancreatectomy in Well-selected Left-sided Pancreatic Cancer

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Left-sided Pancreatic Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Radical Antegrade Modular Pancreatectomy without splenectomy
Procedure: Radical Antegrade Modular Pancreatectomy with Splenectomy
Registration Number
NCT01875198
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

When distal pancreatectomy is carried out for left-sided pancreatic cancer, splenectomy is usually performed not only for margin-negative resection but also for effective clearance of the splenic hilar lymph nodes. However, there was no scientific evidence regarding the justifiability for spleen resection. Considering potential immunological function of the spleen, the investigators hypothesized that distal pancreatectomy without pancreatectomy for left-sided pancreatic cancer is superior than Distal pancreatectomy with pancreatectomy in terms of short-term perioperative outcomes and disease-specific overall survival.
