Ampulla of Vater (AoV) carcinoma has a relatively good prognosis. The 5-year recurrence rate for AoV is still around 40%-50% however, and most recurrences occur in the early period. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of an early recurrence in AoV patients following a curative resection.
