title: Opinions and commentary on treating pancreatic cancer.
abstract: Over the past 2 decades, major progress has been made in the perioperative and surgical management of pancreatic cancer. These advances have resulted in improved long-term results after surgical resection for pancreatic cancer. There are still many controversies surrounding the optimal management of this disease, however, resulting in wide variations in perioperative and operative care at different centers.
