pubmed:abstractText |
Long-term survival in patients with cancer of the pancreatic head is disappointing. Surgery is the only curative therapy. Unfortunately the prognosis of resected patients (10-15%) is extremely poor due to loco-regional cancer recurrence (50%). Lymphatic and perineural invasion may account for local recurrence. Japanese studies have reported the importance of an extended lymphadenectomy during the classic Whipple exeresis (40% of patients present lymph node metastases).
