Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive tumors, and more than half of the patients are diagnosed as having unresectable PDAC. Unresectable PDAC includes locally advanced or metastatic cases; however, recent chemotherapies, such as FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, have dramatically improved the survival period of patients with PDAC. These strong chemotherapies have enabled surgical resection for initially unresectable PDAC, although the eligible cases are very limited. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on surgery for initially unresectable PDAC. Authors can submit papers on any of the following topics: preoperative anti-cancer treatment, surgical indication, surgical strategy, and survival benefit after surgery.
