title: [Prognostically relevant factors in cancer of Vater's ampulla].
abstract: In order to evaluate the relevant factors for prognosis for patients with cancer of Vater's papilla our own patient material between 1. 1. 1978 and 31. 12. 1987 was studied retrospectively. The influence of age, sex, duration of anamnesis, tumor size, tumor morphology and tumor stage on the prognosis were analyzed in 32 patients with cancer of Vater's papilla. The 5 year survival rate after Whipple procedure was 56.1%. Statistically significant factors for prognosis were tumor size, lymph node metastases and tumor stage.
