Ruben Noore

The purpose of this study was to look into how clinical manifestations of pancreatic cancer, such as pain, jaundice, and weight loss, affect prognosis. Methods: From 2001 to 2010, 177 patients with pancreatic cancer received diagnoses and treatments (100 males and 70 females, with a mean age of 65.8 years [range, 36–91]). Spiral computed tomography was used to stage the patients, and 75% of them were determined to have advanced illness (28 stages III, 99 stage IV diseases).
