Main pancreatic duct to parenchymal thickness ratio and degree of atrophy are associated with overall survival in primarily resected pancreatic cancer

Background: Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head induces morphological changes of the gland structure, with potential parenchymal degeneration and main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilation. Aim of this study was to evaluate whether these radiologic findings are associated with oncologic outcomes. Material & Methods: From an institutional prospectively maintained database, patients who underwent upfront pancreatoduodenectomy and had a...
