While tumours less than 1 cm metastazises in less than 2% of cases, tumours more than 2 cm present with metastases in over 80% of cases [3]. [jpgmonline.com]

• Abdominal Mass

  CONCLUSIONS: The treatment is surgical and the most common clinical presentation is abdominal mass. Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was the most frequently performed surgery for its treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  A 61 year old patient admitted to the Internal Medicine Ward 3 at Coimbra University Hospital presents with a volumous intra-abdominal mass in the left hypochondrium and microcytic anemia. [rihuc.huc.min-saude.pt]

• Abdominal Bruit

  If the tumor involves the body and tail of the pancreas, an abdominal bruit may be heard in the left upper quadrant (indicating involvement of the splenic artery) and a large, hard mass may be palpated in the subumbilical or left hypochondrial region. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Hepatomegaly

  Physical examination may reveal jaundice, temporal wasting, peripheral lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, and ascites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Patients presenting with or developing advanced intra-abdominal disease may have ascites, a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly from liver metastases, or splenomegaly from portal vein obstruction. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Here, we report a 69-year-old male patient with distal pancreatic mass incidentally found during a CT scan workup for a pulmonary nodule suspicious for metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The aim of this review is to outline the current consensus on definitions, workup and management of BRPC, and also provide a summary of issues that require progress as defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS). [dx.doi.org]

• Pancreatic Calcification

  In our case (finally diagnosed chronic pancreatitis) there wasn't any clinical evidence of chronic pancreatitis calcifications as well in the image examinations, which may be found in only 30% of patients with chronic pancreatitis. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

  Calcification in the microcystic adenoma presents as a central cluster arranged in a sunburst or stellate arrangement. Central calcification is better evaluated with CT than with radiography. Pancreatic microcystic adenoma. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The patient made an excellent recovery on anti-tuberculous treatment, and no evidence of a tumor was seen on a CT scan performed 6 months after the initiation of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Our recommendation is to consider neoadjuvant treatment in cases of borderline resectable disease. In patients with primary resectable tumours, surgery followed by adjuvant treatment and enrollment on adjuvant treatment studies would be appropriate. [doi.org]

You may be curious about your prognosis if you’ve been diagnosed and your stage has been determined. A prognosis is based on information compiled from people who have a similar cancer. Survival statistics may be comforting, or they may be upsetting. [healthline.com]

The pancreatic cancer prognosis and survival rates in the table below reflect that pancreatic cancer prognosis is poor and are attributable to the fact that pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage where the cancer has progressed to a point [web.archive.org]

However, it´s etiology still maintain discussions. AIM: To analyze it´s clinical data, diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: A retrospective study of medical records of all patients treated from January 1997 until July 2015. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology and risk factors The specific risk factors for pancreatic cancer are not as striking as those for other gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, such as esophageal and gastric carcinomas. [web.archive.org]

The differences in rates of pancreatic cancer among countries, the changes in rates over time, and the increases among migrants moving from low-risk to high-risk areas suggest that other factors may also play an etiologic role. [doi.org]

There have been advances in PNET diagnosis, tumor localization, and therapies in the last decade, and increased understanding of their pathophysiology is likely to be rewarded with new and emerging treatments for PNETs in the not too distant future. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because the outlook is so poor once a person develops pancreatic cancer, it's important to find ways to prevent it. [web.archive.org]

There is no sure way to prevent pancreatic cancer. Some risk factors such as age, gender, race, and family history can’t be controlled. But there are things you can do that might lower your risk. [cancer.org]
