Solid @entity5 : can XXXX be predicted?

@entity5 @entity1 @entity189 @entity3
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to examine the clinicopathologic characteristics of solid @entity5 (SPTs) of the pancreas, including the risk factors for disease recurrence and their effects on survival. METHODS: The medical records of 114 @entity1 who underwent surgery for a pathologically confirmed SPT between January 1995 and December 2007 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the 114 @entity1 , 98 (86.9%) were female, and the median age was 36 years (range, 11-75). All 114 @entity1 underwent curative intent surgery and 13 (11.4%) underwent laparoscopic surgery. Of the 114 @entity1 , 26 (22.8%) had @entity189 ( @entity189 ). There were no differences in any clinical factors between the benign SPT and @entity189 groups; however, the only 4 recurrences identified were in the @entity189 group. After follow-up ranging from 11 to 177 months, all 114 @entity1 were alive, with only 4 showing evidence of recurrence. Recurrence was observed in young @entity1 with @entity3 at first operation, invasion of an adjacent organ, and a large mass (>= 13 cm). CONCLUSION: Adequate operative resection including laparoscopic surgery is the mainstay of treatment for SPT. Although statistically significant risk factors for recurrence cannot be determined, @entity5 @entity3 at the first operation, invasion of adjacent organ, large @entity5 size, young @entity1 age, @entity5 rupture, and inadequate resection may increase the risk of recurrence. Our results demonstrate that long-term survival could be achieved by aggressive operative resection and interventional treatment of recurrent disease.
