title: [Comparative characteristic of the results of palliative and radical treatment of pancreatic cancer].
abstract: The aim of this study was to present a comparative study evaluating outcome after radical and palliative pancreatic cancer surgery. Long- and short term results of surgical treatment for periampullary malignancies in 120 patients (78 male, 42 female) were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: the first group was composed of 50 patients who underwent palliative surgery; the second of 70 patients who underwent radical surgery. Morphological verification of cancer in radical surgery group was conducted in all patients. Morphological verification of cancer in palliative surgery group was conducted in 36.0% of patients. Short term results were studied in all 120 patients. Mortality rate in radical group was 4.3% (3 patients), in palliative group 2.0% (1 patients). Surgical complications occurred in 28, 8% and 24.0% of patients correspondingly. Average survival period in radical surgery group was 21.3+/-2.23 months (4-74), in palliative surgery group 9.43+/-1.62 months (1- 26). A year survival was observed in 83, 2% of patients after radical treatment and in 36, and 3% after palliative treatment. Two year survival was observed in 58.2% (39/67) and 6.3% (3/48) of patients correspondingly.
