Product Description
At present, there are approximately 28,300 new cases of pancreatic cancer in the United States. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in men and women. Approximately 2 out of 10 patients with cancer of the pancreas will live at least one year after the cancer is found, but only a very few will survive for five or more years. The editors have brought together a stellar team of oncologists from surgery, medicine, and radiation therapy to provide a concise yet thorough guide to the understanding and management of pancreatic cancer. From epidemiology and genetics to diagnosis, management, and reconstruction, coverage of the subject is inclusive.
