Prognostic factors influencing results of the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer

: In patients with carcinoma of the pancreas 128 gastropancreatoduodenal resections (GPDR), 15 distal resections of the pancreas and 3 pancreatectomies were performed. After GPDR 5-year survival was 12%, the survival median was 24.3 months. Only one patient is living 6 years after left-sided resection and pancreatectomy. Long-term results of the operative treatment for carcinoma of the pancreas depended on the amount of regional metastases, degree of differentiation of the tumor, its size and invasion into the vessels. The long-term results were considerably worse if the tumor was localized in the uncinate process, body and tail of the pancreas. The 5-year survival was noted mainly in patients with the 0 and I stages of the disease. It shows the early diagnostics to be necessary.
