Choledochoduodenostomy for palliation in unresectable pancreatic cancer.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether choledochoduodenostomy provides adequate long-term palliation of obstructive jaundice in unresectable pancreatic cancer. DESIGN Consecutive case series. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS From 1980 to 1997, 79 consecutive patients (45 men, 34 women; mean age, 67.8 years) with biopsy-proved pancreatic cancer found to be unresectable at operation. IN...
متن کاملSurgical palliation of unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.
The decision to perform surgical versus nonoperative palliation for unresectable pancreatic cancer is influenced by a number of factors. In most cases, patient symptoms clearly dictate the management. In patients with symptoms of duodenal obstruction at the time of presentation, surgery is the only option. In patients with obstructive jaundice alone, the options for management must be weighed a...
متن کاملHypofractionated ablative radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
The role of radiation in locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is controversial. Randomized trials evaluating standard doses of chemoradiation have not shown a significant benefit from the use of consolidative radiation. Results from non-randomized studies of 3-5-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) have been similar to standard chemoradiation, but with less toxicity ...
متن کاملPain palliation by endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS-CPN) represents an alternative approach to pain palliation in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. AIM to evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of EUS-CPN in patients with painful unresectable pancreatic cancer. METHODS Patients with inoperable body-tail pancreatic adenocarcinoma without prior chemotherapy and pai...
متن کاملHypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer
In the last few years, hypofractionated external beam radiotherapy has gained increasing popularity for prostate cancer treatment, since sufficient evidence exists that prostate cancer has a low α/β ratio, lower than the one of the surrounding organs at risk and thus there is a potential therapeutic benefit of using larger fractionated single doses. Apart from the therapeutic rationale there ar...
