An Analysis of Presentation and Outcome Following Treatment of Pancreatic Endocrine Neoplasms

Overview

A single institutional study of Pancreatic Endocrine Neoplasms over 18 years.

Full Title of Study: “A Single Centre Analysis of Clinical Characteristics and Treatment of Endocrine Pancreatic Tumours.”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: June 2011

Detailed Description

The investigators did an analysis from a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent pancreatic resections or nonresective procedures for neoplasms of the pancreas at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital from 1995 to 2013 and using pathological reports and preoperative CT scan as the gold standard, the investigators identified 40 patients with PENs.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Pancreatic Endocrine Neoplasms
    • We did an observational analysis from a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent pancreatic surgery for neoplasms of the pancreas at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India from 1995 to 2013 and using pathological reports and preoperative CT scan as gold standard, we identified 40 patients with PENs.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Nonfunctioning and Malignant Pancreatic Endocrine Neoplasms
    • Time Frame: Each participant was followed up for a period of 5 years
    • Of the 40 patients operated for Pancreatic Endocrine Neoplasms, using clinical criteria, histopathological analysis and preoperative imaging as gold standard, nonfunctioning and functioning tumours were identified. Similarly the number of benign and malignant lesions identified were recorded as per the WHO Classification of pancreatic endocrine tumours.
