title: [Carcinoma of the pancreas and description of 5 cases].
abstract: Having reviewed the frequency of pancreatic cancer, its symptomatological insidiosity, the risk factors, the present excellent diagnostic possibilities, the surgical techniques, which are unfortunately radical only in 30% of the cases, the potentialities related to the recent discovery of sex-hormone receptors in the tumor, the authors underline the necessity of an early diagnosis, considering carefully the vague, but precious, initial symptoms.
