Abstract:
The incidence of pancreatic cancer is on the rise in China, with a 5-year post-operative mortality being over 95%. Difficulties in early diagnosis, post-operative relapse, liver metastasis and a lack of effective adjuvant therapies are the major causes for poor long-term post-operative survival. To improve the survival rate, efforts should be made to strengthen screening for pancreatic carcinoma in high-risk populations at an early stage and to select patients for radical operation with specialized and standardized surgical procedures.
