Abstract
HIDALGO PASCUAL, M. et al. Pancreatic cancer: Management. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2004, vol.96, n.11, pp.784-795. ISSN 1130-0108.
Pancreatic cancer still represents a serious medical concern for which no adequate solution has thus far been found. Surgery is the only appropriate therapy, but has a survival rate of around 30-35% at three years, with an operative mortality below 3% and an operative morbidity approaching 10% of radically resected patients, all of which applies to surgery performed by expert teams in highly experienced sites.
Keywords : Pancreatic cancer; Management.
