title: [Efficacy of surgical resection following the neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy for obtaining long-term survivors in patients with pancreatic cancer].
abstract: We explored the outcome of the multi-disciplinary management for obtaining long-term survivors in patients with pancreatic cancer that extended beyond the pancreas. This single-institution experience indicates that surgical resection following the neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACRT) therapy is able to increase the resectability rate with clear margins and to decrease the rate of metastatic lymph nodes, resulting in improved prognosis of curative cases with pancreatic cancer that extended beyond the pancreas.
