In Defense of the Whipple: An Argument for Aggressive Surgical Management of Pancreatic Cancer
The Oncologist, 06/19/09
Chamberlain RS et al. - Whereas death rates for cancers of the stomach, lung, colon, and prostate have decreased over the past 20 years, death rates from pancreatic cancer have remained stable, with a slow increase in those aged >70 years. Although some of this may be a result of an increased overall life expectancy, the natural history of pancreatic cancer, lack of early detection strategies, inability to adequately identify at-risk populations, and aggressive biology play important roles in the disease's lethality, and remain a challenge to its treatment.
