  • Title: [Chronic pancreatitis and cancer of the pancreas].
    Author: Artem'eva NN, Lisochkin BG, Savinov IP.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1988 Jun; 140(6):31-5. PubMed ID: 3222859.
    Abstract:
    A microscopic study of 93 preparations of the pancreas from patients with a primary chronic pancreatitis allowed the authors to conclude that the primary chronic pancreatitis is a background favourable for the development of carcinoma, carcinoma of the pancreas being practically always accompanied by an acute inflammatory process. The presence of pancreatitis in patients with carcinoma of the pancreas is responsible for incompetence of pancreatoenteroanastomosis frequently developing in the postoperative period. The application of external controlled trans-anastomosis drainage of the common bile duct and pancreatic ducts resulted in more than 3 times less incidence of this complication.
