ObjectiveTo explore the prognostic factors of malignant tumors in ampulla, lower bile duct, head of pancreas, uncinate process, and neck of pancreas after operation.MethodThe recent literatures on malignant tumors in this region at home and abroad were summarized.ResultsThe prognosis of five groups of malignant tumors in ampulla, lower bile duct, head of pancreas, uncinate process, and neck of pancreas was correlated with their origin, growth site, tumor diameter, nerve invasion, vascular invasion, lymphatic metastasis, pathological and histological classification, and cutting edge status. The different location and pathological classification of tumors made the different neurovascular invasion rate, lymphatic metastasis rate, and R0 resection rate.ConclusionsBy summarizing and analyzing the origin, growth site, diameter, nerve invasion, vascular invasion, lymphatic metastasis, pathological and histological classification, and cutting edge status of tumors, we can improve the clinical prediction of tumors in this region, select appropriate surgical methods before operation, and formulate more reasonable adjuvant treatment plan after operation, in order to improve the pertinence of the treatment of tumors in this region, improve the prediction, and finally better serve the clinical work.
