[Cancer of the pancreas. VI. The characteristics of the localization and metastasis of tumors of the gland in both sexes].
Particular attention is called to the localization and metastasizing of the tumor in different organs and systems of the body of males and females. To this end, a rather ample postmortem case material was used. Included in the study were 25,589 autopsies performed over a period of 25 years (1963-1987). Pancreas cancer was detected in 419 autopsies--274 males (65.4 per cent) and 145 females (34.6 per cent). The neoplastic process was analyzed by sex in two directions: metastasizing in near and remote organs and study of the connection between cancer localization in the pancreas and metastasizing in the body. Difficulties are pointed out, encountered with cancers in advanced biological development, when metastases in the gall bladder from primary cancer of the pancreas and from primary cancer of the bile ducts are to be differentiated. It follows from this analysis that metastases of pancreas cancer were most frequent in the regional lymph nodes, with metastases in the liver and lungs ranking next in both sexes. Metastases in other organs were relatively seldom encountered.
