Abstract:
A retrospective survey was conducted on 62 patients aged 20-70 years during the period from 1995-1997 with a gender ratio of 64.5%/34.5% (male/female). Subjects were diagnosed as bile duct occlusion icteria due to the tumors of pancreatic head. Not any surgical interventions were performed. Main clinical signs were progressive jaundice, no fever, weigh loss, white faeces, and large size of liver and pancreas. Hematological exams and imaging diagnosis including ultrasonography were carried out. Survival times of an average of 2.8 months for operable group and under 1 month for non operable group were noted
