Adenocarcinoma de páncreas: evaluación mediante tomografía computada multidetector

clínico-epi-demiológicos fundamentales del carcinoma páncreas y describir sus características imagenológicas y criterios de resecabilidad utilizando la tomografía computada multidetector (TCMD) con protocolo específico para glándula pancreática. Palabras Carcinoma. computada Abstract Within the wide spectrum of pancreatic tumors, adenocarcinoma is the one with the highest frequency. Despite advances in imaging methods and surgical techniques, pancreatic carcinoma continues to be one of the most aggressive tumors. Its timely diagnosis and especially the determination of its resectability serve to sectorize those patients who are candidates for surgery, those in whom it would not be beneficial, also adding the additional risks that said therapy implies. In the present work we want to mention the fundamental clinical-epidemiological aspects of pancreatic carcinoma, describe its imaging characte-ristics and resectability criteria using multidetector computed tomography with a specific protocol for the pancreatic gland.
