The impact of squamous cell carcinoma histology on outcomes in nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer

ConclusionsNonmetastatic pancreatic SCC presents with more advanced disease, which is less often surgically resected or treated with any definitive local therapy. In contrast, AC and A ‐SCC behave more similarly and have higher surgical resection rates and improved survival. In patients with nonmetastatic SCC of the pancreas, surgical resection provides the most significant survival benefit, with systemic chemotherapy providing a less significant benefit, and localized radiation providing no statistical benefit for any subgroup.
