Full Description
Our understanding of pancreatic tumors is changing thanks to recent advances in the field. New diagnostic techniques and imaging tests have improved the early diagnosis of these lesions, and as a result, the growing number of R0 surgical resections has meant a better prognosis for patients. Further, minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches have increased postoperative comfort.
Presenting the latest research in the field, this book will appeal to clinicians in a wide range of medical specialities, including gastroenterologists, general physicians, and abdominal and biliopancreatic surgeons.
