Main Pancreatic Duct to Parenchymal Thickness Ratio at Preoperative Imaging is Associated with Overall Survival in Upfront Resected Pancreatic Cancer
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer induces parenchymal atrophy and duct dilation. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether these radiologic modifications are associated with outcomes. Upfront pancreaticoduodenectomy patients with available preoperative contrast enhanced CT scan imaging were retrospectively analyzed. Thickness of the pancreas, size of the main pancreatic duct (MPD), and distance of the tumor from the ampulla were assessed. A training cohort...
