Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Radical surgical resection is the only curative treatment option for pancreatic cancer, but borderline resectable tumors have a high probability of incomplete exeresis. Although neoadjuvant therapy can improve the chances of complete exeresis, not all patients respond as expected.

Detailed description public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Pancreatic cancer is an important cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Radical surgical resection still is the only curative treatment option today, but not all tumors are considered resectable. Among resectable tumors, some are deemed borderline and have a high probability of incomplete exeresis. Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) can be a game-changer for borderline cases, and there is a lack of evidence on the predictive factors associated with resectability after neoadjuvant treatment. This study aims to assess the prognostic factors for resectability and survival after NAT in type A borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.
