Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer, which commonly metastasizes to the liver. The current standard of care for metastatic PDAC is systemic chemotherapy, however there are limited emerging data regarding surgical resection of pancreatic oligometastases in select patients. Here we review the literature addressing resection of PDAC liver oligometastases.
