title: [Pancreatic cancer--the localization and metastasis of the tumor in the gland (a statistical analysis of autopsy data from the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the Biomedical Research Institute in 1963-1987)].
abstract: Special attention is called to the localization and metastasizing of pancreatic cancer in different organs and systems. Ample post-mortem case material was used to this end, including 25,589 autopsies for 25 years (1963-1987). Pancreatic cancer was recorded in 419 cases--174 men and 145 women. The neoplastic process was analyzed in three aspects: metastasizing in near and in more remote organs; study the relation between localization of the cancer and its metastasizing; elucidation of the relation between the histologic forms of pancreatic cancer and its complications (infiltration and metastasizing). It is concluded that most common were the metastases in the regional lymph nodes, followed in incidence by those in the liver, lungs and intestines. Metastases in other organs were comparatively less common.
