| Description | Pancreatic carcinoma belongs to the permanent challenges in gastroenterology. Primarily, the pancreatic carcinoma diagnostics is, from the view of diagnosing curable stages, very complicated. Thank the late diagnostics, the disease is diagnosed mainly in the advanced stage, and the percentage of effectively treatable pancreatic tumours is about 5 %. Where not treatable forms of the disease are characterized by not higher than 1 % of survival for 5 years. Identification of risk factors in pancreatic carcinogenesis is a possible contribution to the identification of early forms of the disease. An unquestionable risk factor is a chronic inflammation and so also chronic pancreatitis. The risk of carcinoma origination in sporadic pancreatitis is about IStimes higher than in the healthy population, but in people with the hereditary form, it is 16times higher. Apparently due to this, the systemic dispensation of people, especially at longer lasting chronic pancreatitis, is an important measure. |
