Commentary (Brand et al): Pancreatic Cancer in the Older Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is a disease of the elderly, is rarely diagnosed before age 40, and has a peak incidence between the ages of 65 and 79.[1] Dr. Jacobson and coauthors provide a detailed review of the management of elderly patients with pancreatic cancer. They emphasize the glaring omission in the medical literature concerning management of pancreatic cancer in this segment of the population. In this commentary, we will incorporate our multidisciplinary approach for patients with pancreatic cancer, including input from medical oncology, gastroenterology, surgery, and interventional radiology, and highlight the important issues addressed in Dr. Jacobson’s review.
