Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas: detection of occult metastases in regional lymph nodes by a polymerase chain reaction-based assay.

Cancer - 1 Oct 1998

Demeure M J, Doffek K M, Komorowski R A, Wilson S D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Stage I (T1-2NOM0) adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is associated with a 5-year survival rate of 15-25%. Despite apparently curative resection and pathologic staging indicating localized disease, these cancers recur. The authors hypothesized that there exists microscopic regional disease that is not detected by surgical exploration or routine histopathology. METHODS: Because 90-95% of pancreatic cancers...
