ABSTRACT
The incidence of pancreatic cancer has steadily risen in the past decades. Radical resection is still the best option for treatment of pancreatic cancer. Great progress has been achieved in pancreatic surgery;the mortality and morbidity have decreased dramatically, but long term survival after resection is still dismal. Standard pancreaticoduodenectomy is recommended now for pancreatic head cancer. Extended lymphadenectomy could not improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Total pancreatectomy is suitable for some IPMNs patients, rather than a routine for pancreatic cancer patients. The current status and future of surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer will be summarized here.
