YANG Yin-mo
Abstract：Borderline respectable pancreatic cancers (BRPC) are those that, although technically resectable, are at high risk for margin-positive resection following surgery de novo. Generally, such cancers are considered to be resectable with a need for vascular resection and reconstruction at pancreatectomy. In this article, The definition, pretreatment strategies, and multi-disciplinary treatment protocols for patients with BEPC are reviewed. The rationale for and results following treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiation and subsequent surgical resection of the primary tumor are described in detail and existing data are reviewed.
