Pathologic Features of Primary Pancreatic Malignancies

Tarek Abi-Saab et al. Cancer Treat Res. 2024.

Abstract

This chapter explores the pathologic features of benign and malignant lesions of the pancreas. As pathologic classifications evolve particularly for cystic lesions and neuroendocrine tumors, it is important for physicians who treat patients with gastrointestinal malignance to fully evaluate these pathologic classifications.
