Treatment of cancer of the exocrine pancreas

Background: The incidence of cancer of the exocrine pancreas varies among populations, being the fourth or fifth cause of cancer death in the West. Outcome remains poor and opinions remain divided over the optimal management of the condition. Method: A computer literature search was made of the MEDL...

description Background: The incidence of cancer of the exocrine pancreas varies among populations, being the fourth or fifth cause of cancer death in the West. Outcome remains poor and opinions remain divided over the optimal management of the condition. Method: A computer literature search was made of the MEDLINE database from January 1990 to December 1997 and selected other studies. Results: Indications and contraindications for surgery, indications for stenting, indications for resection, the technique of palliative procedures and of resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and combined treatments and other treatments are discussed and recommendations made. Conclusions: Irrespective of tumor size or spread, resection if feasible gives the best survival rates. Careful patient selection is required, however, to exclude those patients for whom surgical resection has no benefit. Nonsurgical procedures including endoscopic stenting in patients with high operative risk or short survival expectancy can significantly improve quality of life. The place of adjuvant therapies remains controversial and further controlled trials are required to demonstrate their efficacy.
