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.

Pancreatitis and the Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreas, 1995To offer quantitative evidence on the association between pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, we analyzed data from a hospital-based case-control study conducted in northern Italy between 1983 and 1992, including a total of 362 incident cases of histologically confirmed pancreatic cancer and 1,408 controls admitted to hospital for acute, nonneoplastic,

The Lancet, 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 ...

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.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1990
Pancreatitis is a common but rather poorly understood entity most often associated with alcohol abuse or biliary tract disease. Despite the availability of a variety of diagnostic tests and imaging techniques, the diagnosis of pancreatitis continues to be primarily a clinical one.

Pancreatitis and pancreatic trauma
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2005Many pancreatic disorders in children benefit from a multidisciplinary approach. This is especially true for acute and chronic pancreatitis which has numerous and diverse etiologies. The current management of pancreatitis is reviewed, focusing on recent advances.

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 ...

Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer
New England Journal of Medicine, 1993Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of death from cancer and the 11th most common cancer in the United States1; each year 24,000 people die of pancreatic cancer in this country. The incidence of pancreatic cancer increased dramatically several decades ago, but it has remained fairly stable over the past 15 years (9.1 per 100,000).

Pancreatitis as a risk for pancreatic cancer
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2002Chronic pancreatitis clearly predisposes to pancreatic cancer, with early onset-long duration chronic pancreatitis from cystic fibrosis, TP, and HP conferring the highest risk. Chronic pancreatitis is not a critical step, however, but rather one of several conditions that accelerate the accumulation of critical genetic mutations and chromosomal losses ...

Pancreatic necrosis and acute pancreatitis
World Journal of Surgery, 1981AbstractThe surgeon should take pains to section and study himself the operative specimen after excision for acute pancreatitis, in order to understand the true nature of the lesions, which the most attentive and competent pathological examination cannot describe as vividly as direct examination by the operator.
