2020, Radiotherapy and OncologyCitation Excerpt :Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography may be of use in decompression of the biliary tract in patients with jaundice and pruritus. Local tumour resectability is most accurately assessed using preoperative imaging, intraoperative exploration being an inaccurate method to assess critical tumour–vessel relationships [49,52]. Objective, reproducible radiographic criteria define potentially resectable disease as the absence of extrapancreatic disease, the absence of superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or portal vein encasement, abutment or distortion, or associated thrombi and presence of a patent SMV–portal vein confluence, and distinct fat planes around the SMA, celiac axis and hepatic artery. [53].
Definition and Management of Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
2016, Surgical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Multidetector row CT is the most widely used staging modality for pancreas cancer and a workhorse for new patient evaluation. When performed and interpreted correctly, it provides valuable staging for both distant and regional metastases as well as local extrapancreatic extension of the primary tumor to adjacent critical vascular structures.17 The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends that all patients with suspicion for PDAC have a dedicated pancreas protocol CT scan as part of the initial evaluation (Version 2.2015).
