Endoscopic Palliation for Unresectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth and the fifth most common cancer in men and women respectively and has the lowest 5-year survival rate of any cancer. The dismal prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is mainly due to the late diagnosis and, consequently, the low curative resection rates. While curative resection offers the only chance for longterm survival, 85-90% of the patients are stag...

Studies by Mayo Clinic and the Gastrointestinal Tumor Study Group (GITSG) have established combined modality treatment with chemotherapy and radiation as the standard of care. Use of gemcitabine-based chemotherapy alone has also been shown to provide a benefit, but 5‑year overall survival still remains less than 5%. Convention...
