Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is a dreadful disease with a very limited survival rate. For the majority of patients who were representing in a locally advanced stage or with distant metastases lifetime is significantly limited only to a few months. We decided to present this case due to the remarkable general condition of our patient over two years after the initial diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic cancer. We treated her with sequential chemotherapy and a close staging monitoring.
