Aims Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death with a poor overall survival rate. Most patients with pancreatic carcinoma develop, independently or concomitantly, biliary obstruction and/or direct duodenal invasion during their disease. Detection of pancreatic cancer in duodenal biopsy specimens could be a diagnostic challenge. We investigated a series of duodenal biopsies to identify duodenal wall invasion by pancreatic carcinoma. Furthermore, this study aimed to evaluate duodenal involvement as a prognostic factor for the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer.
