Management of exocrine carcinoma of the pancreas

  • Chapter
Gastrointestinal Oncology

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 98))

Abstract

The modern era has witnessed both the triumphs of the first resectional procedures for pancreatic cancer and the failures of most of these operations to cure [1–4]. Similarly, it has seen optimistic first reports and less sanguine follow-ups of various adjunctive radiation therapy and chemotherapy regimens [5–11]. This chapter will briefly review these landmarks and will then cover modern management for the patient with carcinoma of the exocrine pancreas.
