Prospective Phase II Trials Validate the Effect of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on Pattern of Recurrence in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Some, but not all, studies using registry data have suggested a small but significant long-term survival advantage following a curative surgical resection of gastric cancer at hospitals where the volume of such surgeries is high. However, because such data may be significantly influenced by the impact of pos...
