Although pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious forms of cancers the outlook for patients could be improved. The lack of clinical symptoms of early surgically removable disease most often limits curative treatment options. This book offers insight into the current understanding of the management of pancreatic cancer and examines recent findings in cancer research. It provides answers to questions of how to know when cancer is resectable how to proceed when the diagnosis comes too late for a curative approach and how to assess different study results. In addition it highlights new upcoming therapeutic options and experimental approaches which might further improve the future prospects for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
