treatment only (2 patients, 3.3%). Eight of the 16 patients with biliary complications went on to surgical resection (50%) compared to 26 of the 43 (60.4%) patients who did not have biliary complications. (c 2 =0.18, p = 0.67). Conclusion: Biliary complications during neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic head cancer are relatively common, but do not significantly affect proceeding to surgical resection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
