April 10, 2015 updated by: Md Tanveer Adil, Medical College and Hospital Kolkata

A Single Centre Analysis of Clinical Characteristics and Treatment of Endocrine Pancreatic Tumours.

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

Study Overview

Status

Completed

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.

Study Population

Medical files and electronic records were reviewed to collect information. Patients were categorized into functioning and nonfunctioning PENs based on their clinical behaviour, pathology reports and serum radioimmunoassay for offending hormones. Preoperative CT scans were used to characterize PENs and record neoplasm size and location in the pancreas. Review of operative notes was done for the type of surgery performed and peroperative findings recorded. Discharge summaries were used to study the surgical outcome in terms of duration of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications. Patients were followed up and any disease recurrence or disease related mortality was recorded. Evaluation of the pathology reports was done.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathological reports and Prooperative CAT Scan showing Endocrine Pancreatic Tumours

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Nonendocrine Pancreatic Tumours

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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.
Each participant was followed up for a period of 5 years
