Abstract
La prise en charge du cancer pancréatique concerne surtout les patients présentant une tumeur potentiellement résécable. Les informations fournies par l’échoendoscopie permettent une approche thérapeutique multidisciplinaire en fonction de la stadification TNM. Cependant cette approche sélective ne peut modifier l’évolution clinique que si les traitements proposés sont efficaces. Une approche thérapeutique multidisciplinaire dépendant du stade d’envahissement devrait permettre d’améliorer le pronostic des patients présentant un cancer pancréatique. Puisque l’USE est devenue la technique la plus fiable pour l’évaluation du cancer pancréatique, l’utilisation de la classification TNM basée sur l’USE devrait permettre des nouveaux progrès grâce à l’application de traitements mieux sélectionnés. The greatest influence endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has on clinical management of pancreatic cancer is on patients with potentially resectable tumors. EUS provides an important link between the TNM staging method and multimodal selective treatment concepts. But, changes in management may not influence clinical outcome unless treatment is effective. With rational, stage dependent application of multi modal selective treatment concepts, clinical outcome of patients with pancreatic cancer will improve. Since the emergence of EUS as the most accurate single test for imaging pancreatic disease, the accurate TNM staging of pancreatic tumors with EUS will allow further advances in selectively applied treatment.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
