Original Source: Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer: rationale for multidisciplinary treatment.
BACKGROUND: Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) appears to be most frequently related to a positive surgical margin and has a poor prognosis after resection. However, few reports are available on differences in tumor characteristics and prognoses among resectable pancreatic cancer (PC), BRPC, and unresectable PC. METHODS: Records of 133 patients resected for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and 185 patients treated as locally advanced PC (LAPC) were reviewed. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients who ini...
