Abstract:
Objective To study clinical feature of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer,in order to reach early diagnosis.Methods 70 cases of pancreatic cancer from ours in-patients 1990 to 2000 were reviewed and analyzed.Results The number of patients with stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ were only 8 cases(11 4%). 40 patients (57 1%) hospitalized within one month after they felt ill.19 cases(29 1%) were diagnosed as pancreatic cancer within one month,including 5 patients(26 3%) with stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ .Abdominal pain(73 4%),jaundice(10 1%) and discomfort of upper abdominal(5 8%) were the most common initial symptoms.misdiagnosis were 40(57 1%) cases .The most common misdiagnosis were chronic gastritis(21 4%),chromic cholecystitis(7 14%) and peptic ulcer(5 71%).The serum levels of CA199,CA125 were higher in 16/18 cases (88 9%) and 6/7 cases (85 7%) respectively. Three cases in stage I or II were found higher serum CA125 and other tumor marker normal.Five patients were diagnosed as diabetes within five months before the diagnosis of the cancer.Conclusions For most of the patients with pancreatic cancer ,usually they were definite diagnosis in moderate or advanced stage. So the status of the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is disappointed . Hospitalizing late,being misdignosed and developing quickly were the main causes;The most common misdiagnosis are chronic gastritis, cholecystitis and peptic ulcer;elevation of serum CA199 and CA125 are sensitive to diagnose pancreatic cancer. Detections of CA125 and hyperglycemia may favour earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
