Published on: February 2, 2024
Abstract:
Pancreatic cancer is a relatively uncommon neoplasm for which long-term survival is unusual. Early diagnosis can lead to prolonged survival, because successful treatment is possible with surgical resection of stage 1 tumors. However, clinical findings are nonspecific and diagnosis usually occurs at advanced stages. Radiologic and laboratory techniques can help to identify patients earlier in the course of the disease. To detect tumors in early stages, efficient and cost-effective application of clinical, laboratory, and radio-logic methods should be used. But the primary care provide must understand the general characteristics of pancreatic cancer.
