A single-institution review of 157 patients presenting with benign and malignant tumors of the ampulla of Vater by Azar, Riad

“…For ampullary adenocarcinoma postoperative survival rates are rising. Recent series report 5-year postoperative survival rates of 53–68%.7 Successful endoscopic removal of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, in situ tumors, and focal T1 cancers has been reported, but is not widely practiced.8, 9 and 10 For patients with slow-growing benign tumors, endoscopic resection is an attractive alternative with decreased cost and morbidity.11 and 12 Endoscopic papillectomy has a recurrence rate of 30% with 13.9% of endoscopically treated patients subsequently undergoing follow-up surgery. …”
