[Pancreatic cancer. VII. The incidence and characteristics of the metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma].
The study demonstrated that adenocarcinoma was the most common form of pancreas cancer. In the majority of cases it originated from the head of the gland, with the body ranking second and the tail third. Adenocarcinoma most frequently metastasized in the lymph nodes, less in the liver and rather infrequently in the lungs and intestines. When the cancer involved the entire gland or a greater part of it, metastases in the latter organs were practically obligatory. Most frequently metastases of pancreas adenocarcinoma were observed in the seventh decade, followed by the sixth and the eighth decades. This regularity as a whole matched the regularity of the age prevalence of pancreas cancer.
