Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To report the long term risks of neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NCRT) after duodenopancreatectomy (DP) for adenocarcinoma of the head of pancreas. METHODS: Between January 1996 and December 2002, 26 patients with biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the head of pancreas were treated by this combination of therapies. RESULTS: Two patients had delayed NCRT-related small bowel infarction: one died from superior mesenteric artery stenosis 36 months after DP without recurrence at laparotomy; there was one limited infarction 16 months after DP. CONCLUSIONS: Long term vascular morbidity after NCRT is significant.
