[Frontiers in Bioscience e175-180, November 1, 1998] 175 SURGICAL THERAPY OF PANCREATIC CANCER
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surgical resection remains the only curative modality for pancreatic cancer. Improvements in surgical technique have greatly reduced the morbidity and mortality from pancreatic resection. These results clearly justify the use of pancreatic resection for localized and resectable pancreatic cancer. New surgical techniques such as laparascopy can aid in the proper selection of candidates for curative resection. Integration of surgery with more effective treatments to prevent systemic relapse are needed to further improve survival.

The role of laparoscopy in the management of pancreatic cancer.
Video laparoscopy has undergone significant advancements in the past several years. This technology can be applied to the management of patients with pancreatic carcinoma. Laparoscopy can be used to achieve the following goals when treating patients with pancreatic cancer: (1) to accurately stage the disease including diagnosis of intraperitoneal and extrapancreatic disease, (2) to evaluate res...
متن کاملIntraoperatic electron beam irradiation in pancreatic cancer.
Intraoperative electron beam radiation therapy (IOERT) is a technique in which a single high fraction radiation treatment is administered at the time of surgery. Using IOERT, the total radiation dose delivered to a tumor can be increased since sensitive normal tissues are removed from the radiation field during the surgical procedure. Furthermore, while the biologic effectiveness of this single...

متن کاملMolecular pathobiology of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a major cause of cancer death in the United States. Most cases are sporadic and are discovered at late stage when they are not curable by surgery. Information about the molecular biology of pancreatic adenocarcinoma has increased significantly in the last five years with the identification of alterations in the K-ras proto-oncogene and the p16INK4a, p53, FHIT, and D...
متن کاملCancer stem cell in the progression and therapy of pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an aggressive malignancy with a high incidence of distant metastasis and mortality. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that pancreatic cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have the potential to self-renew and are pluripotent, are crucially important in the progression and therapy of PC. The origin of pancreatic CSCs was suggested to be pancreatic acinar cells, centroacinar ...
