Morphologic changes associated with neoadjuvant-treated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and comparison of two tumor regression grading systems

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is aggressive, with an overall five-year survival rate of 9%, and few patients are candidates for pancreatectomy at presentation. The role of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is evolving, especially for high-risk potentially resectable tumors. Owing to the increasing number of NAT resection specimens, we aim to characterize the histologic changes associated with NAT and to compare two tumor regression grading...
