    Anatomic Criteria Determine Resectability in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. - 3 year(s) ago

    BACKGROUND: The introduction of multi-agent chemotherapy and radiation therapy has facilitated potential resection with curative intent in selected locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patients with excellent outcomes. Nevertheless, there remains a remarkable lack of consensus on the management of LAPC. We sought to describe the outcomes of patients with LAPC and objectively define the…
