Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy <i>versus</i> conventional left pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer: study protocol for the multicentre randomized clinical RAMPS trial
The primary objective of the RAMPS trial is to demonstrate the superiority of the RAMPS approach over standard left pancreatectomy in improving the achievement of R0 resection and, consequently, long-term oncological patient outcomes. RAMPS could be established as the new surgical standard for tumour resection in patients with pancreatic cancer in the body or tail of the pancreas. Registration number: DRKS00033031 (https://www.bfarm.de/EN/BfArM/Tasks/German-Clinical-Trials-Register/_node.html).
