By Eric Barnes
Among the nearly 30,000 cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year in the U.S., an estimated 5% to 30% have tumors that are contained entirely within the head of the pancreas. This relatively fortunate subgroup has a better chance of surviving long term via the Whipple procedure. Radiologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston are hoping to boost the odds of surgical success with the virtual Whipple, a CT-based planning tool they've developed to give surgeons an idea of what they're going to find step-by-step during the Whipple procedure.
