Pancreatoduodenectomy without Vascular Resection in Patients with Primary Resectable Adenocarcinoma and Unilateral Venous Contact: A Matched Case Study.

The poor prognosis of PDAC is related to the aggressive biology and systemic spread of the tumor, rather than the local control of the disease. PMID: 30595690 [PubMed]
