Prognostic impact of Ki-67 proliferative index in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Objectives Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a tumor with a complex biology and a dismal prognosis. New targets to stage correctly the disease and manage treatment are needed. Ki-67 expression in tumor tissues is a well-known parameter representing the aggressiveness of neoplasms, but it is not used for PDAC. Aim of this study is to analyze the role of Ki-67 as prognostic factor in a series of resected PDAC.
