Technological Innovations and Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. The survival remains extremely low with an estimated overall 5-year survival rate of approximately 5%. For patients who are able to undergo surgery the 5-year survival rate is approximately 20-30%. Unlike other solid organ malignancies, the 5-year survival of pancreatic cancer has not improved significantly over the last few decades. There is an urgent need for more effective treatments for both resectable and unresectable cancer to improve outcomes for patients Innovations on the early, non-invasive diagnosis and more efficient treatments are desperately needed to further improve outcomes. It is imperative that when new techniques are introduced into clinical practice, they are done so in a manner that is transparent to ensure. Furthermore, the technique should be described in detail alongside patient selection (and evolution with time), governance arrangements, clinical- and patient-reported outcomes to ensure incremental learning occurs so promising innovations are adopted rapidly.
Pancreatic Cancer
This book provides state of the art knowledge on a broad range of clinical issues in pancreatic cancer, covering topics from screening and pathophysiology to surgical treatments. In particular, the focus is on current controversies and on evidence-based surgical techniques. Further aspects considered include the management of precancerous lesions, diagnostic methods, perioperative care and nonsurgical treatment. The description of surgical methods is supported by many helpful illustrations and important technical issues are carefully addressed. Determination of resectability and extent of surgery is also discussed. Based on recent developments in surgical techniques, some surgeons are performing more and more radical operations. It is essential, however, that surgical strategy is based on the best available evidence and surgeons will find that this book offers valuable help in achieving this aim. In addition, it will be a great asset in clinical practice for all who are involved or interested in the management of pancreatic cancer.

Textbook of Pancreatic Cancer
This textbook provides a practically applicable resource for understanding the surgical oncology management of pancreatic cancer. It discusses relevant aspects of anatomy and pathophysiology along with the latest diagnostic techniques. Insightful descriptions are then provided detailing how to perform critical surgical procedures when treating these patients. Relevant perioperative management strategies and emerging themes in cancer biology critical to understanding and treating the disease are also described. The need for cross-discipline collaboration to facilitate and enhance innovation within the discipline is reinforced throughout the text. Each chapter presents the relevant current cli...
Case-Based Lessons in the Management of Complex Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery
This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art definitive “case-based” reference for the work-up, diagnosis, intraoperative management, and peri-operative care of patients with complex, difficult to manage HPB diseases. The book provides a practical, clinically useful guide that reviews select complicated HPB cases, as well as providing key information on how to manage such patients. This text provides detailed “case-based” algorithms, as well as specific guidance on the management of complicated HPB patients. In addition, it also focuses on key points on how to work-up patients pre-operatively, highlights intra-operative technical “pearls”, and defines optimal post-operati...
Abdominal Trauma, Peritoneum, and Retroperitoneum
Gastrointestinal surgery is performed for a range of benign and malignant diseases in both elective and emergency settings. This volume covers the diseases, surgery, and management of the mesentery, omentum, peritoneum, and retroperitoneum, as well as abdominal trauma.
Pancreas
Over the last two decades, there have been major advances in imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. GI surgery is the newest sub-specialty branch of general surgery, where enhanced expertise and high-volume centres have made a difference to the outcomes of complex operations. Surgeons can now perform difficult procedures with low morbidity and mortality rates, and greatly improved overall results. This volume provides detailed and comprehensive information on diseases of the pancreas. The pancreas continues to fascinate clinicians and researchers worldwide, due to its anatomical location deep inside the abdominal cavity and the various functions of...
Oesophagus and Stomach
Gastrointestinal surgery (GI) is performed for a range of benign and malignant diseases in both elective and emergency settings. This volume covers the surgery and management of the oesophagus and stomach including anatomy, surgical and non-surgical approaches to different conditions, and dedicated sections on oesophageal and gastric cancer.
Liver, Gall Bladder, and Bile Ducts
Over the last two decades, there have been major advances in imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. GI surgery is the newest sub-specialty branch of general surgery, where enhanced expertise and high-volume centres have made a difference to the outcomes of complex operations. Surgeons can now do difficult procedures with low morbidity and mortality rates, and greatly improved overall results. This volume provides detailed and up-to-date knowledge on diseases of the liver, gall bladder, and bile ducts. Split into two sections, it covers anatomy and physiology, approaches to specific conditions and traumas, a thorough analysis of current knowledge and future advances in the field, and a review of the relevant literature. Written and edited by world-renowned experts in the field, this book will be a valuable resource for hepatobiliary surgeons and trainees, general surgeons, researchers, and medical students.
