Do you know Intraductal Oncocytic Pancreatic Neoplasms 🍇 ?!

IOPN have distinct features

🫧 M:F 1.5: 1 / median size 50 mm / more frequent in the head

📈 50% are invasive / good long term survival

🧬 Classic pancreatic drivers less altered!

@sallyjournalist We're so sorry to read of your mum's death. Like you, we think the staff involved with pancreatic cancer patients at Southampton are brilliant. Thank you for setting up the JustGiving tribute page in your mum's memory.

[University Hospital Southampton HPB surgery @SotonHPB]

Fantastic effort at @UHSFT using cutting-edge technology to treat patients with pancreatic cancer. Two simultaneous Whipple's procedures: one using intra-operative radiotherapy for borderline/locally advanced, whilst another team undertook a robotic case in an adjacent theatre!
