  1. 1. Advances in the Perioperative Management of Pancreatic Cancer

    Författare :Srinivas Sanjeevi; Christoph Ansorge; Sara Regnér; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pancreatic cancer; pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; prophylactic double bypass; pancreaticojejunostomy; neoadjuvant chemotherapy; post-operative pancreatic fistula; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Surgery is currently the only form of curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, yet five-year survival rates following resection are just 15-20%. Improved hospital care has decreased postoperative mortality to 2% yet morbidity remains high at 50%. Poor survival and high morbidity are driven by several perioperative factors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Surgical methods in treating pancreatic tumours

    Författare :Johanna Wennerblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pancreatoduodenectomy; distal pancreatectomy; pancreatogastrostomy; pancreatojejunostomy; postoperative pancreatic fistula; lymph node 8a; palliative surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: In patients with pancreatic cancer 15-20% are resectable at the time of diagnosis. Still another 8-20% are found to be unresectable at laparotomy. The optimal intraoperative strategy for this group is not known. Some patients experience early recurrence of the cancer indicating undetected advanced disease at the time of surgery. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenectomy : risk assessment and early diagnosis

    Författare :Christoph Ansorge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), a complex surgical procedure for resecting tumors of the pancreatic head, distal bile duct or periampullary region, is associated with a considerable morbidity. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), the main contributor, is caused by leakage from the pancreatico-enteric anastomosis and ranges from 15 to 26%. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma : computed tomography for diagnosis, local staging and prediction of postoperative complications

    Författare :Louiza Loizou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with a dismal prognosis, being the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in Sweden and worldwide. The only potentially curative therapy is surgery. Unfortunately, by the time of diagnosis only 20% of patients have a resectable tumor and the overall 5-year survival rate does not exceed 5%.

  7. 5. Issues relevant to the endoscopic and surgical management of pancreatic carcinoma

    Författare :Farshad Frozanpor; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: A substantial proportion of the patients with pancreatic cancer require palliative decompression of the extrahepatic bile duct obstruction by endoscopic stent insertion. Only 20% of patients with pancreatic cancer are suitable for resection, which is considered to be a high-risk procedure with postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) formation in a central role. LÄS MER
