Quality of Life in Elderly Patients After Pancreatic Cancer Surgery
Pilot Study of Geriatric Parameters and Quality of Life in Patients Over 70 Years Old Undergoing Pancreatic Cancer Surgery
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 May 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Pancreatic cancer mainly affects the elderly, with over 85% of patients diagnosed after the age of 60 and over half after the age of 70. In France, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is currently around 14,000 new cases per year, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women and the fifth in men. Surgery is currently the only curative option available to patients, but it is not an option for many patients who already have metastatic or locally advanced cancer at the time of diagnosis. The main studies carried out on this type of intervention in the elderly focus on the surgical aspect, and the tolerability of such surgery is not well studied. The aim of this study is to describe the impact of pancreatic surgery on the independence in daily activities and quality of life of patients aged over 70 with pancreatic cancer. These patients underwent surgery at Édouard Herriot Hospital (Hospices Civils de Lyon) since July 2021, and the assessment will be conducted through telephone questionnaires. It is hypothesised that these patients will be able to maintain their independence in terms of daily activities.
