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 ...

The Epidemiology of Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Gastroenterology, 2013 Acute pancreatitis is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal causes of hospital admission in the United States. Chronic pancreatitis, although lower in incidence, significantly reduces patients' quality of life. Pancreatic cancer is associated with a high mortality rate and is one of the top 5 causes of death from cancer.

Pancreatic Autotransplantation in Chronic Pancreatitis
World Journal of Surgery, 2003AbstractThe apancreatic state secondary to resective surgery for chronic pancreatitis is associated with a high rate of late morbidity and mortality that is due, in part, to endocrine insufficiency. Resective procedures should, therefore, be used very selectively.

Hereditary Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Carcinoma
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1999Abstract: Few risk factors for pancreatic cancer have emerged except for chronic pancreatitis. Recently, hereditary pancreatitis was estimated to carry a standardized incidence ratio of 53, a risk about 25 times higher than smoking. A review of the ongoing hereditary pancreatitis study of the Midwest Multi‐center Pancreatic Study Group suggests that ...

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 ...

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.

Pancreatic Necrosis and Acute Pancreatitis
1982With reference to 115 cases of acute pancreatitis which were either operated on or confirmed, the authors stress the seriousness of the lesion to the glandular parenchyma; it is also difficult to recognise during peroperative exploration. The necrosis, which is sometimes limited to the peripheral and interstitial tissue, sparing the gland itself (its ...
