title: [Surgery of cancer of the pancreas: a therapeutic dilemma].
abstract: The results of pancreatectomy are compared with those of palliative procedures. Over a 16-year period, 49 patients were operated on and underwent either total or partial pancreatectomy. In spite of the age of the patients, post-operative mortality did not increase (10.2%) but the rate of resectability has improved (32%).
