Objective:
To improve the palliative effect on intermediate or advanced pancreatic head carcinoma.
Methods:
26 patients with intermediate or advanced pancreatic head carcinoma underwent cholecystojejunostomy combined with intraoperative radiotherapy with an electron beam on carcinoma from May 1996 to May 1998. The catheter of multifunctional implantable drug delivery system was inserted via gastroduodenal artery for postoperative perfusion chemotherapy.
Results:
Follow-up for 3 - 27 months showed that all carcinomas shrunk with pain released in different degrees after a course of treatment. The 6-month, 12-month and 24-month survival rates were 100%, 93.9% and 20% respectively. Five patients survived on the average for 17.8 months.
Conclusions:
This protocol is effective to prolong the life of the patients with intermediate or advanced pancreatic head carcinoma.
