Abstract

Pancreatic cancer kills 99% of those it afflicts. Despite an increasing array of expensive diagnostic tests, the disease manifests itself and is identified too late for the possibility of complete resection in most patients. Palliation and extension of comfortable and useful life, therefore, become prime goals, cure being rare. This essay suggests an efficient, pragmatic program for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer based upon the current experience of the Massachusetts General Hospital.

摘要

胰腺癌会导致99%的患者死亡。尽管有越来越多昂贵的诊断检测手段，但在大多数患者中，该疾病出现症状并被确诊时已为时过晚，无法进行完全切除。因此，缓解症状并延长舒适且有意义的生命成为主要目标，治愈的情况则很罕见。本文基于麻省总医院的当前经验，提出了一个高效、务实的胰腺癌诊断与治疗方案。
