    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1987; 33(2):69-73. PubMed ID: 3548053.
    Abstract:
    The results of an ultrasonic tomographic study of 77 patients are presented. Cancer of the pancreas was identified in 50 patients. The diagnosis was verified by a complex examination and surgical evidence. The histological pattern of tumor was identified in 28 cases. The diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma was confirmed by ultrasonic tomography in 42 cases, the sensitivity of the procedure being 88%, specificity-81%. In cases of chronic pancreatitis, the sensitivity proved 70%, thus requiring a complex approach to differential diagnosis between the two pathologies.
