[Carcinoma of the pancreas: angiographic diagnosis (author's transl)]

Morphologic changes seen in angiographs and ductographs (endoscopic retrograde pancreaticographs) in the presence of carcinoma of the pancreas are described. The average diagnostic accuracy of angiography is currently 75 to 95 percent, while that of endoscopic retrograde pancreaticography is 90 to 95 percent. The combination of both methods increases the accuracy. The main problem with pancreatic carcinoma now is not early diagnosis, while is now possible, but early examination of the patient.
