[Prediction of prognosis of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with curative intent resection by means of histologic grade and pathologic N stage].

Background And Objective: Pancreatic cancer has the poorest prognosis of any common gastrointestinal malignancy, with a 5-year overall survival of less than 5%. A better knowledge of prognostic factors related to this neoplasia might help improve the survival of these patients. We evaluated the prognostic significance of different factors in both overall survival and tumor recurrence in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who had undergone pancreatic resection with curative intent.
