===Complications===
===Complications===
*Common complications of [disease name] include:
*Common complications of pancreatic cancer may arise as a result of the disease or therapy:
**[Complication 1]
*Malabsorption:
**[Complication 2]
**[[Pancreatic insufficiency|Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency]] due to [[pancreatic duct]] [[obstruction]] by the [[tumor]] may lead to [[malabsorption]]. [[Malabsorption]] in patients presents with [[anorexia]], [[weight loss]], and [[diarrhea]].
**[Complication 3]
* Pain:  
**Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer may develop intractable pain requiring narcotic analgesics and surgical intervention such as neurolysis of celic ganglia.
====Jaundice:====
*[[Jaundice|Obstructive jaundice]] can present with features of [[cholangitis]]:
**[[Fever]] and [[Rigor|chills]]
**[[Nausea and vomiting|Nausea]], [[Nausea and vomiting|vomiting]]
**[[Acholic stools|Clay-colored stools]]
**Dark [[urine]]
**Yellowish discoloration of skin
**[[Itch|Pruritus]]
**[[Abdominal pain|Right upper quadrant pain]]
**[[Anorexia]]
*Patients may require  [[Endoscopy|Endoscopic]] [[decompression]] with [[stent]] placement in patients due to biliary obstruction.
====Duodenal obstruction====
*Patients may develop duodenal obstruction as a result of complications of surgery.
*Duodenal obstruction may be treated with [[Endoscopy|endoscopic]] [[Stent|stenting]] or [[gastrojejunostomy]].

Overview

Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor, with complete remission extremely rare.[1]


Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Natural History

  • The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
  • The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
  • If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

Complications

Jaundice:

Duodenal obstruction

Prognosis

  • The primary factors that influence prognosis are:
  • Whether the tumor is localized and can be completely resected
  • Whether the tumor has spread to lymph nodes or elsewhere


  • Staging and TNM (tumour, lymph node, metastasis) classification related to incidence, treatment, and prognosis: [2]
Staging and TNM Classification related to Incidence, Treatment, and Prognosis
Stage TNM Classification Clinical Classification Incidence at diagnosis (%) 5-year survival rate (%)
0 Tis, N0, M0 Resectable 7.5 15.2
IA T1, N0, M0
IB T2, N0, M0
IIA T3, N0, M0
IIB T1-3, N1, M0 Locally advanced 29.3 6.3
III T4, any N, M0
IV Any T, any N, M1 Metastatic 47.2 1.6

5-Year Survival

  • For patients with localized disease and small cancers (<2 cm) with no lymph node metastases and no extension beyond the capsule of the pancreas, complete surgical resection is associated with a 5-year survival rate of 18% to 24%.
  • Between 2007 and 2010, the 5-year relative survival of patients with pancreatic cancer was 7.2%.[3]
  • When stratified by age, the 5-year relative survival of patients with pancreatic cancer was 10% and 4.6% for patients <65 and ≥ 65 years of age respectively.[3]
  • The survival of patients with pancreatic cancer varies with the stage of the disease. Shown below is a table depicting the 5-year relative survival by the stage of pancreatic cancer:[3]
Stage 5-year relative survival (%), (2004-2010)
All stages 6.7%
Localized 25.8%
Regional 9.9%
Distant 2.3%
Unstaged 4.4%

Shown below is an image depicting the 5-year conditional relative survival (probability of surviving in the next 5-years given the cohort has already survived 0, 1, 3 years) between 1988 and 2010 of pancreatic cancer by stage at diagnosis according to SEER. These graphs are adapted from SEER: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute.[3]
