Frequently Asked Questions

Periampullary cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the area where the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts join together and empty into the small intestine, known as the ampulla of Vater.
Risk factors for Periampullary cancer include smoking, chronic pancreatitis, a family history of pancreatic cancer, certain genetic syndromes such as FAP, and a diet rich in red meat and fat.
The chief complaint of Periampullary Carcinoma is usually painless jaundice, which is caused by obstruction of the bile duct by the tumour.
Periampullary cancer is typically diagnosed using imaging tests such as CT scans, MRI scans, and endoscopic ultrasounds (EUS). Biopsies can also be taken during EUS to confirm the diagnosis.
Periampullary cancer is relatively rare, accounting for less than 10% of all pancreatic and biliary tract cancers.
There are four main types of Periampullary cancer: Pancreatic cancer, Bile duct cancer, Duodenal cancer, and Ampullary cancer.
The stage of Periampullary cancer is determined by factors such as the size of the tumour, whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs, and whether it has metastasised (spread) to distant parts of the body.
Surgical options for Periampullary cancer include pancreaticoduodenectomy (also known as the Whipple procedure), a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, and rarely total pancreatectomy.
The Whipple procedure is a complex surgical procedure that involves removing the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, the bile duct, and sometimes a portion of the stomach.
Potential complications of Periampullary cancer surgery can include bleeding, infection, pancreatic fistula (leakage of pancreatic fluid), and delayed gastric emptying.
Risk factors for Periampullary carcinoma include smoking, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, and certain genetic syndromes.
Complications of Periampullary carcinoma include biliary obstruction, pancreatitis, liver failure, and metastasis to other organs.
Periampullary carcinoma can be curable if it is detected early and treated aggressively. However, if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body or is not detected until later stages, it may not be curable.
