Pancreatic cancer is a relatively common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract for which complete surgical excision remains the only curative option. Being infiltrative in nature and bearing a complex anatomical relationship with various organs, peritoneal ligaments and vascular structures, accurate anatomical staging is key in treatment of these patients. In this article, we will discuss and provide a brief overview of anatomy and use of imaging in staging pancreatic cancer.
胰腺癌是胃肠道一种相对常见的恶性肿瘤,完整的手术切除仍然是唯一的治愈选择。由于其本质上具有浸润性,且与各种器官、腹膜韧带和血管结构存在复杂的解剖关系,准确的解剖分期是这些患者治疗的关键。在本文中,我们将讨论并简要概述胰腺癌分期中的解剖结构及影像学的应用。
