[An analysis of cases with malignant pyloroduodenal obstruction from unresectable pancreatic cancer who underwent palliative gastrojejunostomy].

ABSTRACT

The aims of this study were to examine the effectiveness of palliative gastrojejunostomy in terms of the postoperative food intake and hospital stay in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Retrospective data from 17 consecutive patients who underwent gastrojejunostomy from 2008 to 2013 in Toho University Omori Medical Center were analyzed. In our analysis, patients without peritoneal dissemination and distant metastasis were associated with poor oral intake and patients with lower neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were associated with rate of discharge.
