National Trends in Centralization of Surgical Care and Multimodality Therapy for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

ConclusionsOver the period from 2004 to 2010, a 3-year survival increased for patients undergoing resection for pancreatic cancer. This survival improvement can be partially attributed to the increasing utilization of chemotherapy and centralization of surgical care at high volume centers. A continued emphasis on these factors will likely result in further prolongation of a survival following resection.
