Abstract

In patients with pancreatic cancer, a high percentage is not eligible for curative treatment, and therefore palliative care is indicated. Malignant obstructive jaundice, severe pain, and gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) contribute a major compromise to patients’ quality of life. To manage these symptoms, different strategies of treatment, either surgical or interventional, are available.
