Comparison of Characteristics and Survival Rates of Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma according to Tumor Location

The impact of tumor location on patient survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains controversial. This study investigated the association between primary tumor location and survival rates for resectable PDAC. Additionally, we assessed if this association remains consistent across categories of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis staging system. We analyzed 2471 patients who underwent surgical resection between 2000 and 2018 at a single...
