[Clinico-morphological factors of prognosis in cancer of the major duodenum papilla].

Long-term results of radical operative treatment of 19 patients with cancer of the major duodenal papilla were analyzed. One year, three years and five years survival was found to make 89.4%, 57.8% and 36.8% respectively. The median of life span was 44 months. The data of a univariant analysis show that favorable factors of survival are the early stage of the tumor disease, the absence of metastatic lesion of the regional lymph nodes, tumor invasion into the pancreas and a microscopic picture of pancreatitis in the stage of exacerbation. But the multivariant analysis showed that the stage of the disease is an independent factor of prognosis.
