The Pancreas
Pancreatic Cancer

46,420 estimated new cases in 2014

39,590 estimated deaths in 2014

3% of all cancers in the U.S.

4th leading cause of cancer death in the United
are Pancreas Cancer
States

Cure is rare and only in resected patients
American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts and Figures 2014. Atlanta: American Cancer Society; 2014.
Pancreas Cancer: Background


Cure is rare and only in resected patients
In 100 patients with adenocarcinoma of the
pancreas

Only 15-20 will have resectable disease

Most patients present with locally advanced (50%) or
metastatic (35-40%) disease
Of these, 3-4 patients will have long term survival
 Outcomes:

Optimist view: 20% surgical cure rate
 Pessimist view: 3-4% overall cure rate

Few patients might require an CT guided drain
placement by Interventional Radiology to control the
PF (Grade B)
Rarely patients require a surgical intervention
