Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a relatively common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract for which complete surgical excision remains the only curative option. Being infiltrative in nature and bearing a complex anatomical relationship with various organs, peritoneal ligaments and vascular structures, accurate anatomical staging is key in treatment of these patients. In this article, we will discuss and provide a brief overview of anatomy and use of imaging in staging pancreatic cancer.
