There is the thing which is considerably severe in the condition that surgical resection carried out for the purpose of the radical cure of the pancreatic cancer (pancreatic cancer) becomes adaptation; even if plant it, and was able to extract cancer surgically in a range visible, it is thought that there is not the value of the operation to be able to write a big burden to the patient too much because the possibility that cancer recurs after an operation immediately is very high, and seem to tend to be judged if there is not the adaptation of the operation.
That the internal organs called the pancreas (pancreas) are located in the deep place in the stomach, and approach an important blood vessel; is characteristic.
It is not the part that can easily extract only the internal organs unlike stomach cancer and large bowel cancer.
Technology of the blood vessel surgery is needed depending on a case, and the pancreas head duodenum operation that is representative curable excision for the pancreatic cancer seems to be an operation to need the most complicated technology in the operation of the digestive system.
In addition, the patient is done with the operation that is difficult for a teacher operated for from the start in order that it is long time at operation time.
