title: Cancer of the pancreas: from concordant classification to standardized treatment. International Symposium at Kloster Irsee, Germany, 2-5 October 1996.
abstract: There has been a slow but steady improvement in the results of treatment for exocrine pancreatic cancer in the last decade. One obstacle to further improvement has been lack of standardization for reporting of results, from classification to surgery and follow-up. This four-day symposium was organized in order to bridge the clinical praxis of curatively intended radical pancreatic surgery to scientific evaluation of its results. The meeting comprised four workshops, three special lectures, and seven plenary sessions.
