A prospective study of 134 patients suspected of having pancreatic cancer is reported. Ultrasonography and duodenal drainage studies are the best initial investigations. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with cytological examination is the test most likely to provide a definitive diagnosis. Arteriography is essential before laparotomy to delineate anomalies in the foregut vasculature. Pancreatic oncofetal antigen is the only tumour marker that is useful in diagnosis and in monitoring therapy.
本文报道了一项针对134例疑似胰腺癌患者的前瞻性研究。超声检查和十二指肠引流检查是最佳的初始检查方法。内镜逆行胰胆管造影术及细胞学检查是最有可能提供确诊的检查。剖腹手术前行血管造影对于明确前肠血管系统的异常至关重要。胰腺癌胚抗原是唯一在诊断和监测治疗中有用的肿瘤标志物。
