O Naseef et al. Hepatogastroenterology. 2008 May-Jun.

Abstract

Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma (PDA) is associated with dismal survival. This study reports two cases of very long survival after pancreatectomy for PDA. These were two male patients with pT30M0 and pT2N0M0 tumour. Both received adjuvant treatment and are currently alive after 21y 6 months and 22 y 2 months respectively. Very long term survival for PDA can be achieved for some patients who benefit from R0 resection.
