After a brief review of the literature on this topic, the authors examine the Quality of Life in patients undergoing surgery for neoplasia of the pancreas. They found that radical pancreatic surgery for cancer in elderly patients produced better results than hepatic surgery, even if the death rate was again very high (45.95%). It is very important to underline that the patient's general conditions are very important in this form of surgery. They provide the basis for selecting derivative, endoscopic or percutaneous surgery, with the possible application of an endoprosthesis so as to treat jaundice and improve the patient's Quality of Life.
