Optimizing the outcomes of pancreatic cancer surgery

TL;DR: The safety and efficacy of pancreatic cancer surgery have improved considerably in the past decade, enabling perioperative mortality of around 3% and 5-year survival approaching 30–40% after resection and chemotherapy.

Total pancreatectomy for primary pancreatic neoplasms: renaissance of an unpopular operation.

TL;DR: Standard total pancreatectomy, if needed, is associated with good long-term outcome in pancreatic cancer and Marked surgical morbidity and impaired survival associated with vascular resections reflect the invasiveness of extended total panceatectomies and the underlying advanced malignant disease.

Synchronous resections of hepatic oligometastatic pancreatic cancer: Disputing a principle in a time of safe pancreatic operations in a retrospective multicenter analysis.

TL;DR: A clear survival benefit for patients undergoing synchronous pancreas and liver resections for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is suggested, but due to the limitations of this retrospective study and very strong potential for selection bias, a strong conclusion for resection cannot be drawn.
