Pancreatic Head Adenocarcinoma: a case report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a very common type of pancreatic cancer that refers to the exocrine part of the organ. Such disease is connected with low prognosis and especially low survival rates in patients presenting with metastatic sites. In this report, we present a case, where a male patient was diagnosed with pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, with also presenting metastatic sites later on. Following a pancreaticoduodenectomy, provision of FOLFIRINOX and TIPS placement, the patients remained stable. Optimal method of treatment is still not decided, despite recent studies experimenting with chemotherapy and surgery.
