Abstract

Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic adenocarcinoma) remains one of the deadliest malignancies in the western hemisphere despite improved surgical technique, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The appropriate management of this malignancy should incorporate multiple treatment modalities for optimal opportunity for cure. Recent trials with a variety of treatment techniques confer improved survival of patients with pancreatic cancer, even in the metastatic setting. In this review, the importance of multidisciplinary management of pancreatic cancer based on disease stage is discussed.
