Özet
Pancreatic carcinoma has a devastating prognosis. The only hope for cure for many patients is still surgery while the disease is at the early stages. Chemotherapy (systemic/regional) or radiotherapy has been shown to be helpful in the palliation of the disease but not for cure. We reported a pancreatic head carcinoma, which was cured only by regional chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case in the literature.
