Pancreatic Cancer - Basics to Mastery

di DEAN STRATTON (Autore)

Viruti Shivan, 2025

This clinician-friendly resource walks you through pancreas tumor care step by step—from understanding epidemiology and risk factors to interpreting complex imaging, choosing systemic therapy, navigating surgery, and supporting patients and families through every stage of the disease. Grounded in contemporary international guidelines, it blends clear explanations with annotated flowcharts, mini-tutorials on anatomy and pathology, and vivid clinical vignettes that follow patients from first vague symptom to survivorship or end-of-life decisions. Whether you are a student meeting this topic for the first time or an experienced practitioner refreshing your approach, you will find practical checklists, evidence-aligned treatment pathways, and nuanced discussions of dilemmas such as when to offer resection, how to communicate prognosis honestly yet compassionately, and how to integrate genetic testing and clinical trials into routine practice. ? Rapid orientation to key concepts: anatomy, pathology, staging language, and typical care timelines. ? Case-based learning using recurring patient stories that illustrate real diagnostic and treatment decisions. ? Visual algorithms for workup, resectability assessment, systemic therapy selection, and follow-up planning. ? Chapters on symptom control, nutrition, biliary and gastric obstruction, and breaking bad news with empathy. ? Focused sections on hereditary risk, germline and somatic testing, and when to refer families for counseling. ? Exam-style review questions, bedside checklists, and multidisciplinary team tips to translate knowledge into practice.
