Research and guidelines interpretation of neoadjuvant therapy for resectable pancreatic cancer, promising or limited?
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2024, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
As a systemic disease, pancreatic cancer is highly malignant and has a high rate of recurrence and metastasis, which makes it particularly difficult in diagnosis, treatment and management. In recent years, with the concept of neoadjuvant therapy deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the treatment of pancreatic cancer has increasingly emphasized the development of comprehensive and individualized treatment schemes in the whole process and multi-dimensional management of pancreatic cancer patients. However, there still remain many controversies about the application of neoadjuvant therapy for resectable pancreatic cancer. This review intended to discuss the hot topics and related controversies in the implementation of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer based on domestic and foreign guidelines and the latest research progress, which may vastly promote the standardized application of neoadjuvant therapy for resectable pancreatic cancer.
