Study Overview

Margin Status After Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Cancer

This multicentric prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) compares the Leeds Pathology Protocol (LEEPP) with other Ȭonventional" pathological protocol of PD specimen for periampullary cancer. Our aims were to evaluate the impact of the protocol and of the clearance on R1 rate and its prognostic value.
