Role of multidetector computed tomography in evaluation of resectability of pancreatic cancer
Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most significant causes and one of the most lethal malignant neoplasms in the world of cancer death in the developed nations. It was named the “silent killer” for its quiet course, late clinical presentation, and the trend of rapid growth. The aim...

| description | Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most significant causes and one of the most lethal malignant neoplasms in the world of cancer death in the developed nations. It was named the “silent killer” for its quiet course, late clinical presentation, and the trend of rapid growth. The aim of this study is to detect the reliability of multidetector CT (MDCT) as diagnostic tool in assessing the possibility of eradicating pancreatic cancer. Results Twenty-four patients (57%) were not suitable for surgery with non-resectable mass; the remaining eighteen patients (43%) were considered suitable according to MDCT criteria for surgical resection of the tumor. Fourteen out of the sixteen patients (87.5%) had a successful removal of the lump, while the remaining two cases (12.5%) during surgery, the mass was unresectable. The results of the pathology specimens showed that fourteen out of the fourteen patients (100%) had successful operation with no cancer cells in the margin, and a positive predictive value of 87.5% and accuracy of 89.47%. Conclusions The advancement of MDCT expertise improves the outcome of pancreatic cancer resectability. |
