Use of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Inhibitors for Pancreas Transplant Immunosuppression Is Associated With Improved Allograft Survival and Improved Early Patient Survival.

abstract：:Over the last 3 decades, there have been substantial improvements in diagnostic imaging and sampling techniques to evaluate pancreatic diseases. The modern technology has helped us to recognize premalignant conditions of pancreas including mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs)....
