“…Pancreatic carcinoma is certainly increasing (Bell, 1957) and has been reported to represent up to 4% of all cancers found at necropsy and up to 0-9% of all necropsies (Gullick, 1959). As the acinar cell type is thought to occur in some 13 % of cases of carcinoma of the pancreas (Bockus et al, 1965) …”

“…In studies reporting survival data, few factors carrying any prognostic significance have been identified Gullick, 1959;Moldow and Connelly, 1968;Richard and Cohn, 1969). One possible reason for the small number of reported differences in the behavior of pancreatic cancer is the relatively small size of most series, usually reporting on data collected from a single institution.…”

Over 5,000 histologically confirmed cases of cancer of the pancreas from the End Results Group of cancer registries have been examined for differences in behavior by epidemiologic and pathologic variables. Thirteen percent had a specific histologic diagnosis other than "adenocarcinoma," "carcinoma," or "cancer." The 92 cases of islet cell carcinoma were unique, having a much younger age a t diagnosis (two-thirds instead of one-third diagnosed under the age of 60), a locational preference for the body and/or tail (only 40% instead of 70% occurring in the head of the pancreas), and a very favorable survival experience (15 year relative survival of 14%). Of cancers of the exocrine pancreas, the 64 cases with papillary histology were most distinct, two-thirds being found in women, 18% instead of 10% being localized, and having relatively favorable survival (30% one-year survival, 5% three-year survival). Patients whose tumors revealed squamous metaplasia occurred in general at older ages and had unusually poor survival. Analysis by anatomic location showed an increasing percentage of carcinomas occurring in the head of the pancreas with increasing age. Analysis of "adenocarcinomas" by histologic grade indicated that grade may carry some prognostic information not explained by difference in stage. A striking gradient of decreasing survival with increasing age did not explain, and was not explained by survival gradients in other variables.

“…Roentgen examination of the upper part of the digestive tract is however generally considered the method of choice for the examination of cases of possible carcinoma of this gland, making the detection rate 50 to 60 per cent (GULLIK 1959, GOSWITZ 1961, EYLER et coli. 1962, ANSARI & BURCH 1970.…”
