Pancreatic cancer still represents a serious medical concern for which no adequate solution has thus far been found. Surgery is the only appropriate therapy, but has a survival rate of around 30-35% at three years, with an operative mortality below 3% and an operative morbidity approaching 10% of radically resected patients, all of which applies to surgery performed by expert teams in highly experienced sites.
