At our institution, tumor abutment of less than or equal to 180 degrees (< or = 50% of the vessel circumference) of the supe...

As such, the delivery of early systemic therapy may be a rational alternative to a surgery-first approach, in an effort to p...
متن کاملManagement of a Patient With Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
The definition and management of borderline resectability for periampullary pancreatic adenocarcinoma are evolving.

The definition of ...
متن کاملValidation of Group B Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: Retrospective Analysis

In this study, we attempted to validate whether group B could truly be categorized as a borderline resectable group. METHODS We placed the BRPC patients into group A or group B. The survival outcomes were compared between the groups. ...
