Abstract
Purpose: We aim to review the available literature on surgical management of oligometastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), in order to assess the clinical outcomes and intraoperative parameters of the different strategies.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed database, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria incorporating 401 patients.
Results: Perioperative mortality was as low as 0%, regarding resection of pancreatic cancer combined with synchronous metastasectomy.
Conclusions: Currently, postoperative overall survival and progression-free survival have increased compared to previous trials. Nevertheless, the lack of precise operative indications delays the enhancement of survival rates. Well-designed, randomized controlled studies, assessing pancreatic surgery combined with metastasectomy, are necessary to further assess their clinical outcomes.
期刊介绍：
JBUON aims at the rapid diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oncology.
Its character is multidisciplinary, therefore all aspects of oncologic activities are welcome including clinical research (medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, nursing oncology, psycho-oncology, supportive care), as well as clinically-oriented basic and laboratory research, cancer epidemiology and social and ethical aspects of cancer. Experts of all these disciplines are included in the Editorial Board.
With a rapidly increasing body of new discoveries in clinical therapeutics, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to carcinogenesis, advancements in accurate and early diagnosis etc, JBUON offers a free forum for clinicians and basic researchers to make known promptly their achievements around the world.
With this aim JBUON accepts a broad spectrum of articles such as editorials, original articles, reviews, special articles, short communications, commentaries, letters to the editor and correspondence among authors and readers.
JBUON keeps the characteristics of its former paper print edition and appears as a bimonthly e-published journal with continuous volume, issue and page numbers.
