| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Pancreatic cancer is still fatal despite effective treatment. Due to the special anatomy of the pancreas, symptoms do not occur in the early period and metastases occur frequently. The majority of pancreatic cancers have adenocarcinoma histology. Cystic neoplasm and neuroendocrine tumors are primary malignancies with a more indolent course. There is a complicated relationship between pancreatitis and pancreatic cancers. The risk factors, and clinical and radiological appearances of the two entities share common features. Moreover, with the progress in genetic science, it has been revealed that common genetic factors may play a role in the development of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancers. In this section, common pancreatic malignancies will be defined and their relationship with pancreatitis will be examined.</p> |
