Abstract
The diagnosis was made by endoscopic pancreatocholangiography (EPCG) in five patients with carcinoma of the body and tail of pancreas.
All the cases had been examined, before EPCG, by intravenous cholangiography (i, v. C), hypotonic duodenography and scintiscanning. Positive rate of abnormal findings, contributory to suspicion of the carcinoma, was 60 per cent in i. v. C and 100 per cent in both HDG and scans.
Based on the results obtained, these three methords seemed to be the most efficient as routine diagnostic procedures for the pancreatic tumors, especially used in combination.
