This article presents a review of two minimally invasive techniques for distal pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy, focusing on metrics of technique, safety, morbidity, and oncologic outcomes and potential benefits. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Starting and monitoring of enzyme replacement treatment is more based on clinical symptoms, than on objective markers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Follow-up is particularly important for PDAC because recurrence is often asymptomatic, but its detection allows for therapeutic interventions and potentially improved prognosis. This should be implemented in future guidelines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Only available at Guthrie, the Whipple procedure is a complex surgery that may extend your prognosis or be a possible cure. At Guthrie, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to locate and stage the disease. [guthrie.org]

Malignant tumors in this organ, however, bring with them such a serious prognosis that they are one of the leading causes of cancer death. Pancreatic cancer can sometimes be treated through surgery. [ariahealth.org]

Pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis, with surgery the only chance of cure in cases when there is no detectable cancer spread. [lpbsurgery.com]

Pancreatic diseases are a crucial issue not only because of their epidemiological significance, and their anatomical and metabolic complexity, but also because of the different treatment options available and their implications for surgery. [books.google.ro]
