Abstract

BACKGROUND: By remarkable progress of chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, we sometimes achieve resection of initially unresectable pancreatic cancer after chemotherapy. Otherwise, the safety and feasibility of radical pancreatic resection after chemotherapy is not still clear. In this report, we evaluated the safety and feasibility of conversion surgery for initially unresectable pancreatic cancer in our center.
