Abstract:
Pancreatic cancer usually requires palliative rather than curative therapy. Palliative procedures should have low morbidity and mortality, provide a good quality of life, and necessitate minimal hospitalization. The surgeon, endoscopist, and radiologist all play a role in delivering effective palliation to properly selected patients.
