Comparative study between uncinate process carcinoma and pancreatic head carcinoma after pancreaticodudenectomy (clincopathological features and surgical outcomes).

Background/aims: Pancreatic head cancer is considered to have the worst prognosis of the periampullary carcinomas. The clinicopathological features of uncinate process pancreatic cancer are poorly published.

Methodology: We retrospectively studied patients who underwent pancreaticodudenectomy (PD) for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma.
