Autoimmune panc

What is the imaging modality of choice for PDAC? How does it appear?
CholangioCA?
Hypodensity surrounded by normal appearing tissue

What defines abuttment

3 post operative tenets for whipple
Early feeding, early drain removal(3days), zero fluid balance
3 major complications following whipple early post op
DGE, POPF, PPH
Post op whipple hemorrhage causes eary v late

3 methods of non op biliary obstruction managmennt
endo stent> perc stent> perc drain
difference in biliary stents

metal long term 12m, covered stents have better patency against overgrowth but can migrate
non op options for GOO do to panc adenoca, what type of patient
success rate?

3 operative palliative procedures for panc adenoca

Celiac neurolysis
Describe celiac neurolysis procedure
50% ethanol injection either side of aorta
Side effects folfirinox v gemcit
Why does all panc adeno get systemic therapy at some point
It is considered systemic disease at dg
Borderline cutoffs: artery, vein and extrapancreatic
Artery: <180 abuttment sma and celiac, short encasement CHA
Vein:>180 SMV/PV; < 190 with contour irreg or thrombosis
Extra: Suspicious mets(10-20% will have radiographically occult disease
2 arguments against the conko 001 adjuvant trial
Heavy bias
only 50% received it
5 Neo adjuvant for PDAC pros and 3 cons
Pros:
-all pts treated
-aggressive tumors identified by response
incs rads efficacy
-dec fistula
dec pos margins
Cons:
- Needs endo bx
- possible endo stent
- possible loss of “window” (2%)
how long is neo chemo for pdac
2 months
