Treatment of duct carcinoma of the pancreas with the LH-RH analogue buserelin.

abstract：:We reviewed the trends and death rates of pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis in Japan over the past four decades. It is a disturbing fact that the death rate due to pancreatic cancer is rising, parallel to that of lung cancer and colon cancer and that it is affecting primarily the elderly 65 years and older in both se...
