Case series- study of pancreatic lesions and it’s management in a rural tertiary healthcare centre

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a rising public health threat and is anticipated to account for over 48,000 cancer-related deaths by 2030. Significant advances in surgical technique have resulted in decreased perioperative morbidity and mortality after pancreatic resection. Management includes a multi modality program with neoadjuvant therapy and surgical resection.Inflammatory tumors, cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms, and periampullary adenomas are other growing entities of pancreatic diseases. Patients present with symptoms of epigastric tenderness, jaundice, nausea, vomiting.Many surgical procedures have been proposed for periampullary tumors; these range from palliative bypass of the biliary and gastrointestinal tracts, local excisions, total pancreatectomy, and traditional pancreatoduodenectomy or the Whipple procedure. Each of these various procedures has been designed to answer a problem with postoperative mortality, long-term gastrointestinal function, or long-term survival.: To study clinical features and management of pancreatic lesions over a course of 1 year in a rural tertiary health care set up.
