title: Prognostic factors in resectable pancreatic cancer.
abstract: The pancreatic cancer is a disease with exponentially increased incidence, especially over the last decades, being the sixth or even fifth cause of death by cancer in most of the modern societies. Moreover, it is estimated that almost 95% of the patients with this disease are presenting to the doctor in the advanced and unresectable stages. Also, over the past few decades the development and advance of the surgical methods and techniques have improved only morbidity and hospital postoperative mortality, without significant impact on survival. In this way, in the present mini-review we want it to make a short description for some modern aspects regarding the factors implicated in pancreatic cancer survival.
