    • Pancreatic cancer is a significant health concern with often late diagnosis.
    • Understanding its epidemiology and clinical course is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review epidemiologic factors, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and survival in pancreatic cancer patients.
    • To analyze the impact of various interventions on survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 33 consecutive pancreatic cancer patients.
    • Data collected on demographics, symptoms, diagnostic methods, surgical/medical treatments, and survival.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal pain was the most common symptom (70%).
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via imaging in 33% of cases.

  • Mean survival was 5.1 months, with all patients deceased within 16 months, irrespective of treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, with rapid mortality following diagnosis.
    • Current treatment modalities show limited impact on overall survival in this cohort.
