The authors investigated the possible prognostic factors for survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy for @entity189 of papilla of Vater. From 1984 to 1995, 8 @entity1 underwent radical surgical intervention for @entity5 of papilla of Vater. The mean age of the @entity1 was 58 years. Three of them were over 60 years. In one case Whipple procedure was performed, and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was carried out in 7 @entity1 . Using flow cytometry, the authors measured the nuclear DNA content of @entity5 cells. DNA ploidity status was evaluated from @entity982 -embedded @entity5 tissues. Perioperative mortality occurred in one @entity1 . Reoperation was performed on 2 @entity1 , because of presence of @entity834 . Survival was 50% at 1 year, 37.5% at 3 years, and 25% at 5 years. @entity5 size (> 2 cm) was not negative prognostic factors for survival. The mean survival of @entity1 with @entity5 (n:6) was 17 months, and the mean survival of @entity1 with @entity189 (n:2) was 56 months. The proliferative index of the @entity189 ranged from 3% to 11%. The proliferative index of the @entity5 ranged from 17% to 28%. In conclusion, @entity5 size (> 2 cm), DNA ploidity status and proliferative index were not significantly negative prognostic factors for survival in @entity1 with @entity5 of papilla of Vater.

Effect of the DNA ploidity on survival in XXXX with @entity189 of papilla of Vater.
