- Minimally invasive pancreas and liver surgery, ablation
- Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Audit: optimizing outcomes of pancreatic surgery
- Dutch Pancreas Biobank: translational research pancreatic and peri-ampullary cancer
- Dutch Pancreatitis Study Group: improving clinical treatment of acute and chronic pancreatiti
Ad 1: This includes laparoscopic pancreatic surgery (Nationwide LEOPARD-1 and -2 trials), laparoscopic liver surgery (Nationwide LAELIVE project) and treatment of locally irresectable pancreatic cancer with induction chemotherapy and ablation strategies for locally advanced pancreatic cancer and biliary cancer (IMPALA project: irreversible electroporation and Nationwide PELICAN trial: radiofrequency ablation). The group involves pancreatic surgeons, interventional radiologists, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and 6 PhD students.
