Prognostic Significance of Extrapancreatic Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer: Excellent Outcomes in Patients With Disease Confined Within the Pancreas

Key Points

• The study aims to determine the prognostic significance of extrapancreatic invasion (EPI) in pancreatic cancer outcomes.
• Assess the role of EPI status in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
• Evaluate outcomes based on disease confinement within the pancreas.
• Patients with PDAC confined within the pancreas and without EPI have remarkably favorable outcomes.
• EPI status may influence perioperative treatment strategies.
