Neoadjuvant therapy for pancreas cancer: Global perspective and optimal care pathways in low to middle‐income countries

Abstract: Surgery remains the only curative intent treatment modality for localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Even in those who can undergo successful margin negative resection, the ability to deliver adjuvant chemotherapy is suboptimal for various reasons, resulting in poor outcomes. The delivery of “standard of care” intensive modern neoadjuvant therapies can be challenging in low to‐middle‐income countries (LMICs) with limited resource. This article reviews the constraints in delivering neoadjuvant therapies in LMIC… Show more

“…This survival rate is significantly lower than lung, colon, and breast cancer (25%, 63%, and 90%, respectively, according to the American Cancer Society [52]). Treatment with FOLFIRINOX, which is a combination of folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan, and oxaliplatin, has shown an improvement in survival rates compared to the use of gemcitabine [51]. However, this combination of chemotherapeutics is quite aggressive and cannot be applied to all patients [53].…”
