Pancreatic transplantation has emerged as the single most effective means to achieve normal glucose homeostasis in patients suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus. Standing as the most comprehensive source on pancreatic transplantation available, this guide describes short- and long-term outcomes, as well as provides authoritative chapters on patient evaluation, donor management, and recipient care; surgical procedures; and strategies for complication avoidance and control. With expert contributions from specialists at leading U.S. and international centers, this guide will stand alone as the

Praise for the book “An outstanding text covering all aspects of pancreatic cancer, from embryology through genetics and pathology, and including all avenues of treatment. There are 112 internationally recognized authors, the book is marvelously illustrated, and is a must for all scientists and clinicians interested in neoplasms of the pancreas. It is currently the most up-to-date and complete text on pancreatic cancer available.” -- John L. Cameron, MD The Alfred Blalock Distinguished Service Professor The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

A distinguished panel of world authorities reviews the current state of today’s understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Their cutting-edge reviews discuss both medical and surgical modalities and include numerous insights into the basic molecular processes underlying the disease. Among the key topics covered are the prospects for early diagnosis using molecular techniques, the latest diagnostic and therapeutic methods, the role of laparoscopy (diagnostic and therapeutic), and nonsurgical treatment. The reviewers also address the future possibilities for clinical adv

Worldwide, there are an estimated 232, 000 new cases of pancreatic cancer annually. In the United States, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, and approximately 30,000 people die of pancreatic cancer each year. The disease is difficult to diagnose in its early stages, and most patients have incurable disease by the time they present with symptoms. The overall 5-year survival rate for this disease is less than 5%. In organizing this handbook, Dr. Neoptolemos and his co-editors will produce a distinguished Major Reference Work devoted to pancreatic cancer. This handbook will have wid

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Every year, about 33,700 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and over 32,000 patients will die from the disease. The median survival of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer is about 6-months. This dismal picture of pancreatic cancer is mainly due to the lack of early diagnosis and effective treatment for patients with advanced disease. To increase the survival rate of pancreatic cancer patients, better tumor markers for diagnosis and new molecular targets for drug developmen
