A. Early detection of systemic relapses in breast cancer.
WP 1. Analysis of primary tumor.
Analysis of primary tumor and metastases (Pathology group). In this work package both DNA and RNA from the primary tumors of 125 high-risk (Luminal-B) patients will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing
Study design
All patients with symptoms compatible with pancreatic cancer living in the northern catchment area of the Capital Region of Copenhagen, Denmark, are referred to Dept. of Surgery, Hospital of North Zealand for further investigations. Cases diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are discussed

IIIa. Hypothesize that lower scores in functional status assessment tool - instrumental
Pancreatic cancer continues to be a very lethal disease. It was estimated that in 2016, 53,070 Americans would be diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), and 41,780 would die from the disease. This makes pancreatic cancer the third leading cause of death from cancer in the US.

Preoperative treatment can cause significant morbidity and often result in hospitalizations. Patients receiving preoperative FOLFIRINOX often experience numerous side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, neuropathy, and loss of appetite. Frequently, patients require

The definition of cachexia has not been fully elucidated, but there are many similar parameters and guidelines associated with identifying patients with cachexia. Cachexia is a clinical diagnosis associated with weight loss, decreased muscle mass (sarcopenia), decreased strength, fatigue, and an
Pancreatic cancer continues to be a highly lethal disease with an overall 5 year survival of only 8%. Since 2004, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing by 1.5% per year and it is estimated that there will be 53,670 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2017, with 43,090
Neoadjuvant therapy has become the consensus treatment for individuals with locally advanced unresectable disease and borderline resectable disease. Typical regimens utilize those that are used in the metastatic setting for pancreatic cancer, such as FOLFIRINOX (5-FU, Leucovorin, Irinotecan, and
Pancreatic cancer remains the most lethal of solid tumours with little progress being made to improve patient outcomes over the past 30 years of research. The incidence in the UK is approximately 9,000 new cases per year and, with a 5 year survival remaining at just 3%, mortality approximates
Hypotheses
Some studies have shown an inverse relationship between cancer-related fatigue and the time of exposure to natural light for cancer patients. This association suggests the existence of a vicious circle of side effects of chemotherapy (physical fatigue and moral), itself causing a decrease
The purpose of this study is to determine safety of low kilovoltage radiotherapy delivery of a focused dose of radiation to the areas at high risk for locoregional recurrence following pancreaticoduodenectomy. This surgery is currently the only potentially curative approach for patients with
