Landscape of Pancreatic Cancer
• More than 210 000 new cases per year around the world (2000)
• 2.1% of all cancers• 10% of GI cancers• + 1.7% / yr (men) ; + 2.1% / yr (women)
• 6th cause of cancer-related death• Pancreatic cancer mortality almost equal to incidence• 5-yr overall survival : 4%
Landscape of Pancreatic Cancer
• p53 mutation (70%)• K-ras mutation (90%)• p16 mutation (80%)
• EGF-r overexpression (> 60%)• VEGF overexpression• Loss of somatostatin antiproliferative effect (loss of
SSTR2 receptor)
Pancreatic mass : sometimes different from pancreatic tumor
Pancreatic tumor : sometimes different from pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Definitive need for a pathological diagnosis
Pancreatic cancer: current treatment options
• Symptomatic treatment: – pain– jaundice
• Resectable (stage I-II, 10 – 20%) : surgery followed by chemotherapy (chemoradiation ?)
• Locally-advanced disease (stage III-IVA, 40%): chemoradiation ? chemotherapy ?
• Metastatic disease (stage IVB, 40 – 50%):chemotherapy (gemcitabine)
Aims of the initial work-up
1- diagnosis
- if accessible met, biopsy of met
- if no met US endoscopyCT-scan guided biopsylaparoscopy / laparotomyresection
Aims of the initial work-up
2- guide for treatment strategy
Resectable disease
Surgery
Resection of disease
Adjuvant treatment ?
No resection
Go to LA
MDA criteria
“ Potentially resectable disease:
1) no extrapancreatic disease,
2) a patent SMV-PV confluence (assuming the technical ability to resect and reconstruct this venous confluence), and
3) a definable tissue plane between the tumor and regional arterial structures including the celiac axis, common hepatic artery and SMA. “
