Current surgical management of pancreatic cancer.

چکیده
En bloc resection is the treatment of choice for localized pancreatic cancer. While the perioperative mortality associated with resection is low, it still carries a significant morbidity rate of up to 50% in certain high-risk subsets of patients. With advances in perioperative care, radical resection with inclusion of adjacent vascular structure to achieve negative margin status can be performed with comparable mortality and morbidity in high-volume centers. Early results with the use of minimally invasive technique in pancreatic surgery are promising. Recent data on perioperative care to decrease morbidity with pancreatic surgery will also be discussed.

BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer remains a difficult disease to treat. Diagnosis at an early stage may allow curative treatment with resection. In the past, the mortality associated with surgical treatment of pancreatic carcinoma was prohibitive but mortality associated with resection is now commensurate with all other major oncologic resections. Thus, the focus of surgical management has shifted t...

متن کاملAggressive surgical resection in the management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: when is it indicated?
BACKGROUND Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms for which treatment is variable, depending on the clinical stage. Despite this diversity, surgery remains the gold standard in the management of PNETs. This paper discusses whether aggressive surgical intervention is indicated for PNETs and investigates what prognostic factors may assist in predictin...

A 7-year-old castrated male German shepherd dog was presented with a 10-day history of intermittent lethargy, weakness and episodic seizures. Laboratory findings after admission revealed hypoglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. Provisional diagnosis of insulinoma was made based on the presence of concurrent hypoglycaemia and elevated insulin level. In exploratory laparotomy a small nodular mass was...
