Abstract：Borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(BR-PDAC),characterized by high risk for positive margin with resection,high post-operative recurrence rate and poor prognosis,is a special kind of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between resectable and nonresectable type.Neoadjuvant multimodality therapy is recommended as the first approach in recent years.To address related issues and seek an international consensus on BR-PDAC,a symposium was arranged during the 20th meeting of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) held in Sendai,Japan,in 2016.Finally,the definition of BR-PDAC is based on three distinct dimensions:anatomical (A),biological (B) and conditional (C),and requires one or more positive dimensions (e.g.A,B,C,AB,AC,BC or ABC).The present consensus acknowledges that resectability is not just determined by anatomic relationship between the tumor and vessels,but that biological and conditional factors are also important.
