Reprogramming Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma to Pluripotency
Published on: February 2, 2024
Abstract:
The early, curable malignant lesion of the pancreas is silent. The initial symptoms are mild, indefinite, and not disturbing. Jaundice, pain, weight loss, and anemia, are all evidence of the growth's extension beyond the gland. Even when a presumptive diagnosis of such a lesion is made on a basis of the history in the absence of any demonstrable finding, the lesion proves to be inoperable. Magnificent advances have been made in the surgical management of pancreatic disease. Until similar advances can be made in diagnosis, the fruits to be enjoyed by pancreatoduodenectomy cannot be touched.
