  • Title: Endoscopic palliation of pancreatic cancer.
    Author: Sanders M, Papachristou GI, McGrath KM, Slivka A.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 2007 Jun; 36(2):455-76, xi. PubMed ID: 17533090.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic approaches have revolutionized the palliation of advanced pancreatic cancer. The ideal management consists of a multidisciplinary approach involving surgeons, endoscopists, radiologists, and oncologists. Concurrent advances in the fields of interventional radiology and laparoscopic surgical oncology should be readdressed and directly compared with endoscopic approaches in randomized controlled trials. Exciting novel endoscopic techniques are being developed and evaluated; however, these approaches require further validation with randomized clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy when compared with more traditional approaches.
