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.
