Arterial resection and divestment in pancreatic cancer surgery in the era of multidisciplinary treatment: decadal comparative study ➡️https://lnkd.in/drszuMKp Compared with the former interval (2010–2015), the postoperative morbidity rate and early recurrence decreased, and overall survival and postrecurrence survival prolonged in the latter interval (2016–2021) for pancreatic cancer patients with arterial involvement undergoing pancreatectomy including arterial resection. Within the context of modern multidisciplinary treatment, radical resection including arterial resection can be justified for pancreatic cancer patients with arterial involvement at expert centres, considering the acceptable perioperative risk and the potential for prolonged survival. 👏👏👏Yuki Hirose , Atsushi Oba , Yosuke Inoue , Aya Maekawa , Kosuke Kobayashi , Kojiro Omiya , Atsushi Takahashi , Yoshihiro Ono , Takafumi Sato , Hiromichi Ito , Takafumi Mie , Takashi Sasaki , Masato Ozaka , Naoki Sasahira , Toshifumi Wakai , Yu Takahashi #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery BJS Academy BJS #some4hpb #some4tpl #PancreaticCancer #PancreaticSurgery
