Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the quality of life in patients undergoing the Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy, PD) for pancreatic cancer. The Whipple procedure can be done by laparoscopic (small incisions) or an open procedure (large incision) to treat the patients cancer. The goal of this study is to see if there is any difference in quality of life between patients who undergo the laparoscopic or the open Whipple procedure. Surgical technique (minimally invasive versus open) will be at the discretion of the operating surgeon. Patients will not be randomized to a treatment arm.

A subset of these patients will also be asked to take part in a pre- and postoperative in-depth interview to explore the lived experiences of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in quality of life, as measured by FACT-Hep score [ Time Frame: Baseline (before surgery), at hospital discharge (up to approximately 14 days), at first clinic visit (within 2 weeks after discharge), 3 months ]
    The summed overall FACT-Hep score (0-180) will be the primary outcome.
