Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Periampullary cancers encompass a mixture of cancers but in general are separated into four subtypes: cancer in the head of the pancreas, distal bile duct cancer, true ampullary cancer, and duodenal cancer. These cancers arise in the vicinity of the ampulla of Vater and are differentiated by their histologic origins (pancreatic, distal bile duct, ampulla of Vater, or duodenum). While pancreatic adenocarcinoma makes up the majority of resected periampullary cancers at 62%, ampullary cancer accounts for 19%, distal bile duct cancer 12%, and duodenal cancer 7% of resected periampullary cancers.1 Although preoperative assessment with imaging and biopsy can distinguish one subtype from the other, often times the tumor origin may be undetermined preoperatively. Moreover, duodenal cancer in the periampullary region as well as intestinal-type ampullary cancer behave in a similar fashion, whereas distal bile duct cancer and pancreaticobiliary-type ampullary cancer behave similar to one another. While 56% of small bowel adenocarcinomas arise in the duodenum, small bowel adenocarcinoma only comprises 2% of all gastrointestinal cancers in the United States.2 This chapter focuses on duodenal adenocarcinoma as well as intestinal-type ampullary cancer, as all other duodenal cancers and periampullary cancers are beyond the scope of this chapter.
