Neuroendocrine Tumors
Lymphoma
Distal CBD cholangiocarcinoma
Pancreatic metastasis
Periampulary tumors
Exocrine pancreatic neoplasms" includes all tumors
that are related to the pancreatic ductal and acinar
cells and their stem cells (including
pancreatoblastoma)
Epidemiology
• Cancer of the exocrine pancreas is a
highly lethal malignancy.
• It is the fourth leading cause of
cancer-related death in the United
States and second only to colorectal
cancer as a cause of digestive cancerrelated death

• Surgical resection is the only potentially
curative treatment.
• Unfortunately, because of the late
presentation, only 15 to 20 percent of patients
are candidates for pancreatectomy.
• Furthermore, prognosis is poor, even after a
complete resection.
• Five-year survival after
pancreaticoduodenectomy is about 25 to 30
percent for node-negative and 10 percent for
node-positive disease.
• Of the several subtypes of ductal
adenocarcinoma, most share a
similar poor long-term prognosis,
with the exception of colloid
carcinomas, which have a somewhat
better prognosis.
The most frequent symptoms of
pancreatic CA at the time of diagnosis

•
•
Asthenia – 86 percent
Weight loss – 85 percent
Anorexia – 83 percent
Abdominal pain – 79 percent
Epigastric pain – 71 percent
Dark urine – 59 percent
Jaundice – 56 percent
Nausea – 51 percent
Back pain – 49 percent
Diarrhea- 44 percent
Vomiting – 33 percent
Steatorrhea – 25 percent
Thrombophlebitis – 3 percent
The most frequent signs of pancreatic
CA at the time of diagnosis
•
•
•
•
•
Jaundice – 55 percent
Hepatomegaly- 39 percent
Right upper quadrant mass – 15 percent
Cachexia – 13 percent
Courvoisier’s sign (nontender but palpable
distended gallbladder at the right costal margin) –
13 percent
• Epigastric mass – 9 percent
• Ascites – 5 percent
Signs of advanced, incurable disease
include:
• An abdominal mass or ascites
• Left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy
(Virchow's node)
• A palpable periumbilical mass (Sister
Mary Joseph’s node) or a palpable rectal
shelf are present in some patients with
widespread disease. Pancreatic cancer is
the origin of a cutaneous metastasis to
the umbilicus in 7 to 9 percent of cases
Clues suggesting the possibility of a
primary pancreatic lymphoma include
• Lack of jaundice,
• Constitutional symptoms (weight
loss, fever, and night sweats),
• Elevated serum lactate
dehydrogenase (LDH) or beta-2
microglobulin level,
• Normal serum CA 19–9
• An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biopsy
may be recommended if a diagnosis of chronic
or autoimmune pancreatitis is suspected on
the basis of history (eg, extreme young age,
prolonged ethanol abuse, history of other
autoimmune diseases), particularly if further
imaging studies (either EUS, endoscopic
retrograde cholangiopancreatography,
magnetic resonance
cholangiopancreatography) reveal multifocal
biliary strictures (suggestive of autoimmune
pancreatitis) or diffuse pancreatic ductal
changes (suggestive of chronic pancreatitis).
• The rates of unresectable disease among all
patients with a CA 19-9 level ≥130 units/mL
versus <130 units/mL were 26 and 11 percent,
respectively. Among patients with tumors in
the body/tail of the pancreas, more than onethird of those who had a CA 19-9 level ≥130
units/mL had unresectable disease.
• The addition of molecular genetic analysis (eg,
assay for K-ras or p53 gene mutations by RTPCR) to cytologic examination may improve
sensitivity, especially in patients with small
primary tumors.
