The implication of induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer, intended conversion surgery

Objectives In recent years, options for conducting Conversion Surgery are attracting attention for cases in which chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy have been successful in locally advanced nonresectable pancreatic cancer (UR - LA). Cases in which Conversion Surgery could be performed are expected to have a certain prognosis from the previous report. It seems that there is a possibility that the treatment strategy for UR-LA we are working on and the treatment combined appropriately in the previous report may possibly greatly improve the prognosis, but to show the results is a future issue.
