Pancreatic cancer prognosis

Despite the potential for better local-regional control using preoperative or adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the prognosis of pancreatic cancer remains poor. Treatment failure is primarily due to distant metastases. Also, the progress in the treatment of pancreatic cancers is hindered by the absence of effective systemic agents. New approaches continue to be developed that hopefully will alter the natural history of this disease. [Pg.261]

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth to fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the Western world. The prognosis for patients with pancreatic cancer is bleak, with an overall 5-year survival rate of <5%. According to the histopathologic classification, there are wide varieties of mahgnant tumors that arise from the exocrine pancreas, adenocarcinoma being by far the most com-... [Pg.410]

Morbidity should not exceed 30%. Lethality is between 0-3%. The 5-year survival rate following RO resection in metastatic colorectal carcinoma is 20-40%, in neuroendocrine tumours 90-100%, in malignant melanoma 15-25%, and in breast cancer 10-30%. Prognosis is poor in metastasizing renal cell carcinoma and in gastric or pancreatic carcinoma. Both R1 and R2 resection worsen the prognosis to the same extent. [Pg.800]

Telomerase activity has been detected in more than 80% of cancers, including lung, breast, pancreatic, bladder, and many other cancers however, it does not seem to be necessary for cancer development. Its activity does, however, correlate with tumor progression and prognosis. [Pg.764]
