U.S., March 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07480005) titled 'To Revisit the Yield of Staging Laparoscopy in Hepatopancreatobiliary Malignancies' on March 13.
Brief Summary: This research project, to be conducted at the Institute of Liver & Biliary Sciences, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of staging laparoscopy (SL) in detecting occult metastases in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) malignancies in the current era of advanced imaging modalities such as MDCT, MRI, EUS, and PET-CT.
