title: [Pancreatic cancer. An appraisal of 147 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Out of 147 exocrine cancers of the pancreas 17 (11.6%) were considered as inoperable. Extensive lesions are frequent: liver metastasis (33%) invasion of surrounding tissues (duodenum-portal vein - mesenteric vessels) 29%, regional lymph nodes metastases (25%), peritoneal carcinomatosis (13%). For these reasons, non curative operations were the most frequent: bilio-intestinal anastomosis (56.4%), exploratory laparotomy (14.9%). Our resection rate is low: 16% (21 cases), with performance of 15 pancreatico-duodenal resections (71%), 5 total pancreatectomies (24%) and 1 left pancreatic resection. We note a mortality rate of 19%: 20% four resections, 17% after palliative anastomosis. The mean survival rate was 11.5 months following pancreatico duodenal resections and 4,8 months following anastomotic procedures. No survival after 5 years is registered.
