Radiologic resectability assessment in pancreatic cancer.
Complete tumor resection is still the only potentially curative therapy option for patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Surgical exploration is the gold standard for the determination of tumor resectability. Radiological resectability assessment is of great importance because many clearly unresectable cases can be identified preoperatively and it became essential for surgical pl...
متن کاملPredictors for resectability and survival in locally advanced pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant therapy
BACKGROUND To evaluate the predictors for resectability and survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) treated with gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant therapy (GBNAT). METHODS Between May 2003 and Dec 2009, 41 tissue-proved LAPC were treated with GBNAT. The location of pancreatic cancer in the head, body and tail was 17, 18 and 6 patients respectively. The treatment respon...
متن کاملPredictive factors of resectability and postoperative outcome for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer still remains a challenge for surgeons. The goal of surgery is to ensure oncological R0 resection as positive resection margin is associated with poor prognosis. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of age, ASA score, bilirubin and albumin value, CA 19-9 and imaging modalities for predicting the resectability in pancreatic cancer. This retrospective study cons...
متن کاملUtility of tumor markers in determining resectability of pancreatic cancer.
HYPOTHESIS Despite advances in preoperative radiologic imaging, a significant fraction of potentially resectable pancreatic cancers are found to be unresectable at laparotomy. We tested the hypothesis that preoperative serum levels of CA19-9 (cancer antigen) and carcinoembryonic antigen will identify patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer despite radiologic staging demonstrating resectabl...
متن کاملCurrent Surgical Aspects of Palliative Treatment for Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Despite all improvements in both surgical and other conservative therapies, pancreatic cancer is steadily associated with a poor overall prognosis and remains a major cause of cancer mortality. Radical surgical resection has been established as the best chance these patients have for long-term survival. However, in most cases the disease has reached an incurable state at the time of diagnosis, ...
