Ampullary adenocarcinoma is a rare diagnosis and often managed as carcinomas of pancreatobiliary origin. However, there is accumulating evidence unveiling attributes of ampullary carcinomas that are distinct from that of pancreas or biliary cancers. Growing translational efforts in understanding this rare disease are exemplified by Abstracts #161 and #204 presented at the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.
壶腹腺癌是一种罕见的诊断疾病,通常按照胰胆管起源的癌症进行治疗。然而,越来越多的证据揭示了壶腹癌与胰腺癌或胆管癌不同的特征。2011年美国临床肿瘤学会(ASCO)胃肠道癌症研讨会上发表的摘要#161和#204体现了在理解这种罕见疾病方面不断增加的转化研究努力。
