TLDR
A newly defined prognostic profiling including the revised R1-definition discriminates survival of patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma better than the AJCC staging system, and may be of particular relevance for patient-adjusted therapy in the heterogeneous group of AJCC stage II tumors.
Abstract
Background:Surgery is the only therapy with potentially curative intention in pancreatic cancer. This analysis aimed to determine prognostic parameters in a patient cohort with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma with a special focus on the revised R1-definition.Methods:Between October 2001 and Augus

Adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine vs observation in patients undergoing curative-intent resection of pancreatic cancer: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: The results support the use of gemcitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy in resectable carcinoma of the pancreas by significantly delayed the development of recurrent disease after complete resection of pancreatic cancer compared with observation alone.

One thousand consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies.

TL;DR: Pancreaticoduodenectomy has become an effective operation for pancreatic cancer in those patients in whom their tumor is margin negative and node negative, and Operative time, blood loss, and length of stay have dropped substantially.
