Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy with gemcitabine/cisplatin and surgery versus immediate surgery in resectable pancreatic cancer
2014
Background In nonrandomized trials, neoadjuvant treatment was reported to prolong survival in patients with
pancreatic cancer. As neoadjuvant chemoradiation is established for the treatment of rectal cancer we examined the value of neoadjuvant
chemoradiotherapyin
pancreatic cancerin a randomized phase II trial. Radiological staging defining resectability was basic information prior to randomization in contrast to
adjuvant therapytrials resting on pathological staging.
