Cytopathologic Margin Evaluation in Patients Undergoing Pancreatic Cancer Resection
This study is being done to investigate another way of evaluating margin status after
pancreatectomy by using cytopathology (slide interpretation) as compared to the traditional
method of surgical pathology
pancreatectomy by using cytopathology (slide interpretation) as compared to the traditional
method of surgical pathology
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare margin status on final pathology with margin status from cytopathologic
evaluation.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo cytopathologic sample collection during pancreatic resection during which
slides are gently pressed against the cut edge of the pancreas, the surgical bed, and along
the superior mesenteric artery, and finally against the tumor itself.
