Aim: To analyze the importance of para-aortic node status in a series of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in a single Institution.
Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2012, 151 patients underwent PD with para-aortic node dissection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in our Institution. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with negative PALNs (PALNs-), and patients with metastatic PALNs (PALNs+).

Study Design: We studied 34 pediatric patients with nonmetastatic soft tissue sarcoma who had undergone only diagnostic biopsy. Tumor size was measured both at diagnosis and after induction chemotherapy by 3 observers and using 3 measurement methods: maximum axis (1 diameter), estimated volume (3 diameters), and computed volume (software-assisted volume calculation).
Introduction: Metastases to the pancreas from other primary tumors are increasingly recognized in clinical practice, but the real role of surgery remains unclear. This study was designated to evaluate by a meta-analytic approach the results of surgical treatment for the most common malignancies metastasizing to the pancreas.
