Early Diagnosis by Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatography

Robert Parke, MD; Michael Sivak, MD; Manley Cohen, MB; Wilmier Talbert, Jr

Arch Intern Med. 1977;137(7):924-926.

Abstract
We had a patient with cancer of the pancreas that was diagnosed by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography where conventional diagnostic methods (including arteriography) were negative. Pancreatic resection was possible and examination of the surgical specimen showed microscopic adenocarcinoma coexistent with an intraductal stone and pancreatitis.
