Early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer
Med Clin North Am.
1988 Sep.
Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is diagnosed after irreversible changes have occurred, and pancreatic cancer is virtually never diagnosed at a curable stage. In view of the late diagnosis and unsuccessful treatment, particularly of pancreatic ductal cancer, prevention is the only solution. This article reviews the causes and prevention as well as the diagnosis of these diseases.
