title: [Palliative treatment of primary and metastatic tumors of the pancreas].
abstract: In primary carcinomas of the pancreas the palliative intervention shows worse results than the radical operation according to our experiences. Deviation is only justified with local irresectable tumours as a symptomatic procedure. In cases of metastatic tumours in the pancreas palliative resection may be the only way in order to eliminate complications (jaundice, pains, hemorrhage, tumour induced pancreatitis) caused by these growths. By means of six cases it is demonstrated that palliative surgery can be remarkably successful in cases of metastasis in the pancreas.
