Description

Adenocarcinomas of the pancreas represent the majority (>95%) of all malignant pancreatic tumors. They are formed from malignant degeneration of the exocrine part of the pancreas. Cystic acinar tumors are much rarer and originate from secretion-producing parenchymal cells of the pancreas. Endocrine tumors of the pancreas will not be dealt with in this context. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Adenokarzinome des Pankreas stellen den ueberwiegenden Teil (>95%) aller malignen Pankreastumoren dar. Sie entstehen aus malignen Entartungen des exokrinen Anteils der Bauchspeicheldruese. Zystische, azinaere Tumoren sind deutlich seltener und gehen von sekretbildenden Parenchymzellen des Pankreas aus. Auf endokrine Pankreastumoren wird in diesem Kontext nicht eingegangen. (orig.)
