Brief Summary

A prospective, nationwide, implementation program of the international standard of excellence for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) care in the Netherlands (2021\[7\]-2030\[6\]), including a multidisciplinary training program by the four leading international expert centers. The PREOPANC-4 project aims a safe and patient-centered implementation of the international standards of excellence for LAPC (surgery) in the Netherlands.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Resection rate

    Resection rate of the pancreatic tumor

    Immediately after completing the inclusion period (December 31, 2024).

  • Overall survival (OS)

    OS from time of resection (mOS, 1-year OS \& 5-year OS)

    After completing the follow-up period (December 31, 2029)

  • In-hospital mortality

    Mortality after resection (during primary hospitalization)

    Yearly assessment throughout the inclusion period

  • In-hospital major morbidity

    Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa or higher major morbidity after resection (during primary hospitalization)

    Yearly assessment throughout the inclusion period

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • R0 resection rate

    Immediately after completing the inclusion period (December 31, 2024).

  • Quality of life

    Measured at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months from diagnosis, followed by yearly measurements.

  • Shared decision-making: patients' healthcare satisfaction

    Measured at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months from diagnosis, followed by yearly measurements.

Study Arms (1)

Implementation cohort

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years; 2. Pathology confirmed LAPC\*; 3. CT-based non-progressive disease in accordance with the RECIST criteria after at least 4 months of systemic chemotherapy (\[m\]FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine-nab-paclitaxel). Exclusion criteria: (1) Metastatic pancreatic cancer prior to induction chemotherapy. \*According to the Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Group (DPCG) definition: \>90 degrees arterial tumor involvement (i.e. superior mesenteric artery, celiac axis, and/or hepatic artery) and/or portovenous involvement of either \>270 degrees or occlusion.

Other: Implementation - International best-practice care

Interventions

The PREOPANC-4 project aims to safely implement the international standard of excellence for LAPC management and surgery using a multidisciplinary best-practice training program, based on the experiences of four leading international expert centers (i.e. NYU Langone Health, University of Colorado, Heidelberg University, and MD Anderson Cancer Center). We hypothesize that the PREOPANC-4 implementation project will result in the improvement in multidisciplinary patient management and selection in line with current international best-practice.
