Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite your participation in the current Special Issue of JCM on “Current Surgical Management of Pancreatic Cancer”. Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis following its diagnosis. Altough the progress of treatment for pancreatic cancer is remarkable, surgery is the only treatment with the potential for curing it. Since neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies used for pancreatic cancer have been recently developed, the role of surgery for pancreatic cancer has changed. Furthermore, minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, is becoming mainstream even in hepato-pancreatico-biliary surgery. Minimally invasive surgery for pancreatic cancer might be safe and feasible; however, further research is required. In the current Special Issue, we aim to discuss the current surgical management of pancreatic cancer, focusing on open and minimally invasive surgery, neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, and the outcomes. The translational research conducted on this topic is also invited for submission. In addition, multimedia manuscripts are welcomed.
We anticipate receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
