OBJECTIVE: Analysis and evaluation of a multidisciplinary approach, postoperative results and survival of a group of @entity1 with resected @entity788 after a multimodal therapy. DESIGN: DESCRIPTIVE, prospective and observational study. @entity1 : Between January 2004 and December 2004, 124 @entity1 with @entity788 were evaluated. In 30 @entity1 pancreatic resection was performed, and they are the object of this study. Results of preoperative evaluation, postoperative morbidity and mortality, and long term survival were studied. RESULTS: Diagnostic evaluation was completed in ambulatory basis in 20% of the @entity1 . In 63% of cases, admission was done in the same day of surgery. In 3 @entity1 (9%), @entity5 resection was not achieved, therefore, concordance between radiological and surgical resectability rate was 91%. Resectability rate was 24.1%. Surgical Mortality was 3.3%, with a global morbidity rate of 56.6%. Survival at one, two, three and, four years was 76.2%, 56.3%, 43%, y 27.3% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Technological development and coordination of efforts in multidisciplinary teams offer an accurate evaluation of @entity5 involvement, and may reduce the number of laparotomies without @entity5 resection. The application of a systematic and generalized multimodal treatment in @entity788 is progressively showing a tendency of progressive increase in resectability and survival rates in @entity788 .
