[Ca of the head of the pancreas and the ampulla of Vater (150 cases) (author's transl)].
From 1968 till 1977 we observed 150 patients with carcinoma of the head of the pancreas and the ampulla of Vater. In 29% a radical operation (duodeno-pancreatectomy) could be practiced. The prognosis of carcinoma of the head of the pancreas is much less favourable in comparison to the carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater.
