Surgery is often the main treatment for pancreatic cancer and for several other pancreatic conditions. It is also one of the most complex surgical operations in medicine. A particularly feared complication afterwards is internal bleeding, known as postpancreatectomy haemorrhage. Since 2007, surgeons worldwide have graded these bleeds with an international system. It combines three factors: when the bleeding starts, where it happens and how severe it seems.

A small “triangle” with a big impact

Behind the pancreas lies a compact, triangle‑shaped area bordered by three major blood vessels that supply the abdomen. Surgeons call it the TRIANGLE compartment. In standard pancreatic cancer surgery, this region is not systematically removed. For years, however, specialists have suspected that microscopic cancer cells may be hiding there, beyond what imaging and the naked eye can detect.

Offer Description

Fundação D. Anna de Sommer Champalimaud e Dr. Carlos Montez Champalimaud (Champalimaud Foundation), a private, non-profit research institution, is opening a call for a Physiotherapist.

There is a line by British artist David Shrigley that goes: “I had no interest in it then I looked inside and now I'm enchanted by it.” In other words, it is difficult to be genuinely interested in something we know nothing about. First, we need the chance to take a look inside. To get closer. To explore. To ask questions. And sometimes, it is at that very moment, when something that once seemed distant becomes tangible, that fascination begins.
The same is true of science.

Millions of people living with Breast cancer or depression experience physical, psychological, social and financial burdens that remain unseen or insufficiently addressed in routine care. Although patient-reported outcome measures exist and provide valuable insights, they often reduce complex patient experiences to numerical scores. At the same time, healthcare professionals face fragmented clinical data, increasing documentation demands and digital tools that are not always well integrated into care.
