4 Two Major Pancreas Functions We are focusing on Diseases of the DIGESTIONfunction of the pancreas today! 1. Make Hormones 5% Pancreas makes chemicals (hormones) like insulin to help turn food into energy 2. Digest Food 95% Pancreas enzymes break down fatty foods and proteins in the intestine What is Cancer? An abnormal growth of tissue Can occur anywhere in any tissue Characterized by abnormal RATE and PATTERN of growth Immune to body s own checks and balances 4
5 Causes of Cancer ACQUIRED: Infectious Industrial/Environmental (radiation, chemicals) Vices (tobacco, alcohol, diet) INHERITED: Familial predisposition Inherited cancer syndromes Pancreatic Cancer ADENOCARCINOMA Most common Grows out of duct cells NEUROENDOCRINE Much less common Derived from endocrine cells Slower growing, better prognosis 5
6 Adenocarcinoma Pancreatic Cancer ~50,000 patients in USA per year 10 th in incidence/4 th in death rates Risk Factors Cigarette Smoking Age > 50 years Pancreatitis 5-10% of pancreas cancer inherited No pancreas cancer gene yet identified 6
7 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Early spread through blood stream and lymph nodes Most patients have metastatic disease when diagnosed Disease confined to pancreas in <20% of patients Normal Anatomy 7
8 Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Most occur in head (75%) Minority body (15%), tail (10%) 8
9 Evaluation of Suspected Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Suspicion CT Scan Endoscopic Ultrasound and Biopsy Treatment Decision Laparoscopy Tumor Board Presentation Clinical Suspicion PAIN JAUNDICE LIGHT COLORED STOOL DARKENED URINE LOSS OF APPETITE, WEIGHT LOSS BLOOD CLOTS, BLEEDING 9
10 Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer Up to 60% of patients develop diabetes in the months prior to diagnosis Those with diabetes often develop difficult to control blood sugar We believe there is a chemical made by the tumor that causes the pancreas not to make insulin effectively Evaluation of Suspected Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Suspicion Imaging Endoscopic Ultrasound and Biopsy Treatment Decision Laparoscopy Tumor Board Presentation 10
11 CT Pancreas CT most utilized modality for pancreatic imaging Excellent sensitivity and local staging info Can help to distinguish masses Important to optimize technique CT Scan Liver Spleen 11
12 Kidneys Pancreas Body and Tail 12
13 Pancreas Head Pancreatic Neoplasm 13
14 Pancreatic Cancer: Can it be removed? Technically Resectable PC 1. Tissue plane between tumor and SMA 2 2. Patent SMV-PV confluence 1 3. Absence of extrapancreatic disease 3 14
15 Pancreatic Cancer: CT Pancreatic Cancer: Patient Example 56 y/o female with adenocarcinoma Resectable Low attenuating mass Relative dilatation of middle and distal pancreatic duct Prokesch,et al. Radiology,225 (2002) 15

18 Evaluation of Suspected Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Suspicion Imaging Endoscopic Ultrasound and Biopsy Treatment Decision Laparoscopy Tumor Board Presentation Endoscopic Ultrasound Imaging, diagnostic, and interventional capabilities Identify organs, structures, vessels, lesions, cysts, fluid collections, etc. Less invasive Low risk High sensitivity Diagnostic Cytopathology, Vol 34, No
19 Endoscopic Ultrasound EUS is highly accurate for diagnosing pancreatic disease Stomach: Body and Tail Duodenal Bulb: Head & CBD Descending Duodenum: Uncinate Applications of EUS in the pancreas Chronic pancreatitis Pancreatic adenocarcinoma Pancreatic cysts Pancreatic fluid collections Endoscopic Ultrasound 38 19

21 Treatment Treatment and outcome depend upon stage at diagnosis Early stage pancreatic cancer can be CURED Advanced disease cannot yet Only research can cure cancer IDEAS FUNDING TRIAL PARTICIPATION Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Surgical Resection Radiotherapy Chemotherapy Combination Therapy 21

25 10/15/2015 Splenic vein Cut Pancreas Is there a screening test? 25
26 Is there a screening test? CA 19-9 Blood test Not elevated in all cancers Good way to track cancer after diagnosis Is there a screening test? Mesothelin Dipstick test Potential early screening test Not validated 26
27 Is there a screening test? In 2015, there is no accepted diagnostic screening test for pancreatic cancer that is inexpensive and able to detect early cancer But we are certainly trying Thank you 27
