Calendar Donate Now Index FAQ ... Find a Doctor Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the United States as well as around the world. Its incidence cuts across all racial and socio-economic barriers and is nearly always fatal. Despite the continued diligent efforts of the medical community, it is estimated that 25,000 people may die from this disease this year, with no end in sight. Because of the lethality of this disease and the failure of standard treatment to date, future efforts are pinned on the advances that are being made in the understanding and delineation of the genetic and molecular cell biology of cancer cells.

In April 2002, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that patients benefited from being treated at centers with high volumes of patients. Mortality related to surgery was four times greater at a center seeing low volumes (fewer than 16 patients per year) than at a high-volume site. Mayo Clinic surgeons perform more than 350 of these procedures annually. Mayo Clinic physicians bring a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The care team includes specialists from gastroenterology, radiation oncology, medical oncology and general surgery. Experienced surgeons can remove and rebuild the portal vein for patients whose cancer involves that portion of the pancreas. Mayo patients also have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials of experimental therapies.

In Memory of Peter J. Brignola I armed myself with all of the information I could, when we found out my dad had Pancreatic Cancer. I found that the prognosis is extremely grave. Although there is research being done in this area, detection is extremely difficult. Pancreatic Cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in America. By the time most people experience symptoms, the cancer has spread to other organs. Approximately, 28,300 Americans will be diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer this year. Only 19% of them will survive one year after diagnosis. I have become a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. They dedicate more money to cancer research than any other private, non-for-profit, non-governmental funder of cancer research in the United States. I ask that you open your hearts, and make a donation to the American Cancer Society, In Memory of Peter J. Brignola. We can no longer stay silent about this very silent disease. By simply making a donation, we can offer Pancreatic Cancer patients in the future, more treatment options, raise awareness, and promote early detection.

In an effort to cure more patients, the standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) has been modified to include a wider soft tissue and lymph node dissection, and a resection of a segment of the superior mesenteric and portal veins. The operation is described, and the results are critically reviewed. Although the procedure can be performed safely, and with little additional morbidity compared to a standard resection, there is no objective evidence that it increases the cure rate.

Pancreatic cancer Table of Contents GENERAL INFORMATION CELLULAR CLASSIFICATION STAGE INFORMATION TNM definitions ... RECURRENT PANCREATIC CANCER GENERAL INFORMATION Cancer of the exocrine pancreas is rarely curable. The highest cure rate occurs if the tumor is truly localized to the pancreas. Unfortunately, this stage of disease accounts for fewer than 20% of cases and results in approximately a 20% 5-year survival rate in patients with completely resected tumors, but only a 4% 5-year survival rate for all patients with pancreatic cancer. For patients with small cancers (less than 2 centimeters) with no lymph node metastases and no extension beyond the "capsule" of the pancreas, the survival rate following resection of the head of the pancreas approaches 20%. Improvements in imaging technology, including spiral computed tomographic scans, magnetic resonance imaging scans, positron emission tomographic scans, endoscopic ultrasound examination, and laparoscopic staging can aid in the diagnosis and the identification of patients with disease that is not amenable to resection.[ ] For patients with advanced cancers, the overall survival rate of all stages is less than 1% at 5 years with most patients dying within 1 year.[
