How do you decide if a pancreatic head mass is resectable? Does vascular involvement matter? What impacts survival? Join the Surgical Oncology team as they dive into operative considerations when operating on borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Break the nihilism and find out about the options available for patients with this dreaded malignancy.

Learning Objectives:
In this episode, we review the various definitions for resectability in pancreatic cancer, as well as the various prognostic markers and decision points to consider when deciding which patients may benefit from an operation.
