Routine screening for colon cancer after conservative treatment of diverticulitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIM:Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis. Ampullary cancer (defined as cancer of the ampulla of Vater or the distal common bile duct) has a better prognosis and is thought to be a biologically different tumor. The aim of this study was to find factors that could predict survival after radical (R-0) resec...
