Description
Outcomes of a radical operation for advanced pancreatic cancer are reported by Carsten Hansen and co-authors in 2026 from a high-volume center. The procedure removes part or all of the pancreas together with the celiac artery axis, territory once considered untouchable because of ischemia risk.
Data collected prospectively covered 58 patients operated on between 2014 and mid-2025, most after chemotherapy or similar treatment first. Median overall survival reached 28.0 months for patients treated before surgery, yet recurrence-free survival had a median of just 6.0 months, showing how early the cancer tends to return. Leak and ischemia rates were in line with standard pancreas removals. Hansen and colleagues conclude the operation is feasible but demands careful patient selection.
