Description
Osamu Inamoto and colleagues report a gentler operation for early duodenal cancer in two women in their eighties in a 2026 case report. Tumors near the stomach outlet were too risky for scope removal, yet full pancreas-head surgery seemed excessive at their ages. The chosen operation removed the duodenal segment plus the stomach's lower part, with selected node clearance.
Both patients achieved clean margins and left hospital within 14 days without major problems. They stayed free of recurrence at 58 and 35 months of follow-up, with nutrition and quality of life preserved. The authors present the method as a sound middle path for frail older patients.
