Abstract:
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is unfavorable. Radical operations remain the sole potential cure method, but early vascular invasion is a significant limiting factor for successful resection. For patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer, a radical operation combining vascular resection can enhance the rate of negative surgical margins and improve survival outcomes. Currently, the guidelines recommend venectomy while the arterial treatment is still controversial. This article discusses the contemporary concerns regarding vascular invasion in pancreatic surgery and the corresponding strategies for treatment.
