In recent years pancreatic cancer has shown an increasing incidence. Preoperative staging represents a main problem for its surgical management. Recent behaviour in the treatment of the disease led to considerably more encouraging results. The Authors describe the cases treated at the Dept. of Surgery of the University of Perugia and review the most important international reports on preoperative staging of pancreatic cancer.

The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
