Brief Summary
The first alarming symptom of a malignancy of the pancreas or periampullary tumor can be obstructive jaundice (OJ). Pancreato-duodenectomy (PD) combined with oncological treatment can provide long disease-free survival in resectable cases. The literature regarding the preoperative biliary drainage is controversial. The aim of this multicenter, prospective observational cohort study is to investigate the role of preoperative drainage, and to compare it with surgery alone.

Eligibility Criteria
The study population will be patients diagnosed with malignant biliary obstruction who meet all the inclusion criteria but no exclusion criteria. All patients admitted with malignant biliary obstruction with- or without biliary intervention prior to the surgery in the participating hospitals will be assessed for eligibility
You may qualify if:
- Patients ≥ 18 years
- OJ of malignant origin (pancreatic head or periampullary tumor)
- Total bilirubin level ≥ 40 μmol per liter
- Signed written informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Proved metastasis
- Irresectable tumor
- Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy
- Co-existing malignancy
- Pregnancy
- Patients not fit for resection

Biospecimen
Blood samples (serum and plasma) from all patients will be stored in the Biobank in order to study laboratory parameters later if required (eg, the laboratory could not measure it), and in order to build up a biobank for later clinical studies to which all participants will be given informed consent. The samples will be stored at -80°C.
