How to suction pancreatic juice from the duodenum: Endoscope, catheter, or cap-assisted?

Pancreatic cancer is associated with a very poor prognosis. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2017, about 53,670 people will receive a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and about 43,090 people will die of the disease. It is predicted that pancreatic cancer will be the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States by 2030.1 Although the 5-year relative survival is as low as 8% for all stages, the 5-year relative survival for localized tumor is 29%.2 Therefore, surgical resection of the tumor at an early stage is the only cure.
