Tumors of the Pancreas (AFIP Atlas of Tumor and Non-Tumor Pathology, Series 5, 15) (Original PDF from Publisher)

The American Registry of Pathology presents this Series 5 volume as a subspecialty reference on pancreatic neoplasms. It connects morphology with molecular findings, clinical behavior and targeted treatment considerations. The current multimodal study of pancreatic neoplasms has allowed a better understanding of tumor biology, more closely linking the mor¬phologic findings with clinical outcomes and targeted treatment. The prognosis of conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains very poor, but some promise is on the horizon based on novel treatment approaches and the increase in earlier diagnosis. Furthermore, intensive study of other pancreatic neoplasms has led to a clearer recognition that each type has distinctive biology and behavior that is often not so highly aggressive. This sense of optimism may help drive a resurgence of interest in pancreatic pathology.
