Even the advancement of state-of-art treatment for pancreatic cancer, surgical resection remains the only potentially curative policy. The safety of pancreatectomy have improved greatly based on advanced surgical technique and dedicated postoperative care, the mortality of Whipple operation is about 2%. To improve the overall survival, what we can do is to attain the radicality. Radiologically, the pancreatic cancers are categorized into resectable, borderline resectable, unresectable, and metastatic according to the relationship of the neoplasm with adjacent vessels. Otherwise, systematic masopancreas and mesojejunum dissection for nerve plexus eradication along with regional and para-aortic lymphnode dissection have the tendency to achieve R0 resection. The subsequent adjuvant therapy shows improved overall survival. Furthermore, neoadjuvant therapy is expected to downstage those cannot be resected. However, consensus in radiological resectibility, regimen and sequence, assessment of the efficacy or effectiveness, evaluation of conversion surgery, and histopathological radicality is necessary to improve patient survival. |
