Advances in the treatment of pancreatic cancer: Limitations of surgery and evaluation of new therapeutic strategies
Surgery Today, 05/28/09
Yokoyama Y et al. - The survival benefits of aggressive surgery have been denied by most randomized controlled trials. This implies that surgery alone is not enough. Thus, adjuvant therapy, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, has been given in combination with surgery to improve survival. Although the benefits of radiotherapy alone are limited, the results of chemotherapy are promising. Other newly evolving molecular targeting drugs may also improve the treatment outcomes of pancreatic cancer.
