Brief summary

This study aims to assess overall survival, quality of life and resection rates in locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Detailed description

This is a multicenter pragmatic prospective observational study including Nordic hospitals treating patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Eligibility will be assessed at regional multidisciplinary tumor boards. Patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced (non-endocrine) pancreatic cancer according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) are eligible for inclusion. The study is observational. Quality of life will be assessed in all study participants. The primary outcomes are exploration rates, resection rates and overall survival.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Median Overall SurvivalFrom date of inclusion until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 72 monthsMedian overall survival for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer stratified for treatment allocation
ResectionFrom the time of inclusion to end of study follow up or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 72 monthsRates of resection among patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer stratified for treatment allocation

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
