Understanding pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and replacement therapy in pancreatic cancer

چکیده
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is highly prevalent in patients with pancreatic cancer, and has substantial implications for quality of life survival. Post resection, PEI associated increased post-operative complications, longer hospital stays higher costs. Treatment enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) improves confers significant survival advantages. Despite this many cancer do not currently receive PERT. The nutritional consequences are extensive even more relevant the elderly owing to age related gastrointestinal tract changes that predispose malnutrition.

Abstract: Cancer patients experience weight loss for a variety of reasons, commencing with the tumor's metabolism (Warburg effect) and proceeding via cachexia to loss of appetite. In pancreatic cancer, several other factors are involved, including a loss of appetite with a particular aversion to meat and the incapacity of the pancreatic gland to function normally when a tumor is present in the ...

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency with steatorrhea is a major consequence of pancreatic diseases (eg, chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer), extrapancreatic diseases such as celiac disease and Crohn's disease, and gastrointestinal and pancreatic surgical resection. Recognition of this entity is highly relevant to avoid malnutrition-rela...

Background Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is widely applied to patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), but its effect and safety has not been quantified. Therefore we performed a meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and tolerance of PERT on patients with EPI. Materials and Methods PubMed, Medline, Cochrane library database, Evidence-based medicine/clinical tria...

Restitution of normal fat absorption in exocrine pancreatic insufficiency remains an elusive goal. Although many patients achieve satisfactory clinical results with enzyme therapy, few experience normalization of fat absorption, and many, if not most, will require individualized therapy. Increasing the quantity of lipase administered rarely eliminates steatorrhea but increases the cost of thera...
متن کاملExocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Exocrine pancreatic insuffiency is loss of ability to properly digest food due to inadequate pancreatic enzyme activity. The etiology of exocrine pancreatic insuffiency, in humans, is mostly chronic pancreatitis or diseases affecting pancreas such as cytsic fibrosis, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. It may also occur as a complication of gastric or pancreatic surgical procedures due to decrease of e...
