The effect of age on long-term survival after pancreatic resection for pancreatic cancer

چکیده
Background The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing, and an increasing proportion of patients with pancreatic carcinoma is older than 75 years. After surgical resection remains the treatment of choice for pancreatic neoplasms, an increasing number of elderly patients are being referred for pancreatic resection. Although in the early 1990s there was rarely an indication for major pancreatic resection in the elderly because of the high postoperative complication rate, mortality and limited survival time [1], more recently an acceptable morbidity rate and late outcome in patients with advanced age have been reported [2,3]. This retrospective study analyzed the effect of age on the survival of patients who underwent resection for pancreatic cancer.

Association between alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer: a systematic review of cohort studies
Background: Among all types of cancers, pancreatic cancer has poor prognosis with 5-year survival below 10%. In theory, alcohol intake may be a modifiable risk factor for pancreatic cancer due to its role in multiple carcinogenic and metabolic signaling pathways. In addition, alcohol consumption may lead to chronic pancreatitis which is underlying cause of pancreatic cancer. However, little is ...

BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma represents 90% of pancreatic cancers and is an important cause of cancer death in the United States. Operative resection remains as the only treatment providing prolonged survival, but even after a curative resection, 5-year survival rates are low. Our aim was to identify the prognostic factors for long-term survival after resection of pancreatic duct...
