Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Periampullary neoplasms are a group of cancers that arise from the periampullary region, which is the area where the bile duct and pancreatic duct join the duodenum. These cancers are also relatively rare, but they are often difficult to treat and have a poor prognosis.

This issue of Surgical Clinics provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the surgical management of pancreatic cancer and periampullary neoplasms. The articles in this issue are written by leading experts in the field, and they provide practical guidance on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of these challenging diseases.

This issue of Surgical Clinics is a valuable resource for surgeons, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals who care for patients with pancreatic cancer and periampullary neoplasms.
