Redefining survival outcomes after pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Purpose: The 5-year survival following pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is reported to be ≈15-20%. These estimates are affected by censoring and might not reflect empirical outcomes. Our aim was to provide empirical survival data following pancreatectomy for PDAC, investigate the characteristics of long-survivors (≥5years), and understand whether prognostic factors change over time. Methods: All pancreatectomies for...
