Advantages and advances in neoadjuvant therapy of pancreatic cancer
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2024, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
Due to the characteristics of the insidious onset, difficult early diagnosis and high malignancy of pancrea-tic cancer, only a minority of patients still have the chance of surgical resection at the time of diagnosis. In recent years, chemotherapy-based preoperative neoadjuvant therapy has been increasingly applied to pancreatic cancer without distant metastases to help achieve tumor downstaging, increase R0 resection rate and improve patient survival. A large number of clinical trials have proven the advantages of neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic cancer, but there are still many issues to be gradually addressed by further research to reach a consensus.
