Abstract

The resectability rate was high (84 per cent) for patients with periampullary cancer. The incidence of lymph node metastases was also high, being 50 per cent for those with small tumors (2 cm or less). The 5 year cure rate was 67 per cent for patients with negative nodes but 0 per cent for those with positive nodes.
