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 کاملRadiologic Resectability Assessment in Pancreatic Cancer Radiologische Einschätzung der Resektabilität beim Pankreaskarzinom
Although notable progress in diagnosis and therapy has been made in recent years, the 5-year survival of patients diagnosed with ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is still less than 5% [1]. To date, surgery is the only curative option for patients suffering from this aggressive entity. Nowadays in high-volume centers, this procedure can be performed with a mortality of 1–3% and morbidity of...
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 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 کاملAssessment of EUS for diagnosing, staging, and determining resectability of pancreatic cancer: a review.
Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis, but surgery offers a potential for cure in a minority of patients with localized disease. An in-depth review by Gudjonsson1 of 4100 patients with pancreatic tumor resection found a 5-year survival rate of 3.5%. More recent studies have found improved 5and 7year survival rates of 19% and 11%, respectively, in highly selected surgical patients.2 This may ...
