Since therapeutic results, in fact, compare favourably with other series, including surgical treatment of potentially resectable tumours, further evaluation of combined treatment modalities in the neoadjuvant setting seems warranted. Matsuno S TI - Effect of intraportal adoptive immunotherapy on liver metastases after resection of pancreatic cancer. The prognosis of patients with resected pancreatic cancer remains poor. The incidence of liver metastasis and the survival rate of these two groups were compared. For this reason, palliation plays an important therapeutic role.
Indications are mainly obstructive jaundice, duodenal obstruction and pain.
Assessment of the tumor's morphology and resectability is often possible only by surgical exploration. If necessary and feasible, non-curable malignancies are treated synchronously during this operation. In preoperatively proven distant metastases or local non-resectability, interventional procedures are preferred. They are efficient, at least primarily, and mostly correlated with little patient discomfort. A surgical biliary bypass obviously leads to improved long-term palliation.
