Surgical Clinics of North America, 1984
Recent technologic advances in ultrasonography and computed tomography have revolutionized the diagnostic evaluation of pancreatic disease. More important, these imaging modalities provide an unprecedented opportunity to detect at an early stage the complications of pancreatitis, such as phlegmon, pseudocyst, and abscess, and to follow their response ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2018
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the glandular parenchyma of the retroperitoneal organ that leads to injury with or without subsequent destruction of the pancreatic acini. This inflammatory process can either result in a self-limited disease or involve life-threatening multiorgan complications.

Lancet, The, 2003
In the past decade, our understanding of the genetic basis, pathogenesis, and natural history of pancreatitis has grown strikingly. In severe acute pancreatitis, intensive medical support and non-surgical intervention for complications keeps patients alive; surgical drainage (necrosectomy) is reserved for patients with infected necrosis for whom ...

Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2017Most cases of acute pancreatitis are related to gallstones. More than 80% resolve within a few days. The diagnosis is based on upper abdominal pain, elevated lipase and/or amylase, and transabdominal ultrasound findings. Management requires early aggressive hydration, pain control, nutritional support, and monitoring for progression.

Autoimmune pancreatitis mimicking pancreatic cancer
Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, 2009Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a form of chronic pancreatitis that can often be difficult to distinguish from pancreatic cancer. We describe the clinical and radiographic features of 23 patients with AIP whose presentations mimicked pancreatic cancer.A review of clinic, radiology, and endoscopy records from a 6-year period identified patients with ...

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1998
Despite the many advances reported during the past year, pancreatic cancer remains a profound therapeutic challenge. Helical CT has become the preferred staging study at many institutions. The role of chemoradiation therapy in a preoperative and postoperative setting is being defined. Gemcitabine has become first-line therapy for patients with advanced
