Surgical Re-Resection for Isolated Local Recurrence of Pancreatic Cancer: A CaseSeries of 3 Patients and Literature Review

Key Points

Repeat pancreatic resection may improve survival for certain patients with local recurrence, suggesting positive outcomes.
Three patients were selected based on criteria such as performance status and absence of metastases, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Assessment indicates that careful patient selection is crucial for successful surgical interventions in pancreatic cancer.
Results imply that multidisciplinary management can enhance the effectiveness of surgical re-resection strategies.

Abstract

Our findings suggest that repeat pancreatic resection may be feasible in carefully selected patients with isolated local recurrence, potentially offering a survival benefit. Strict selection criteria, including the absence of distant metastases, good performance status, and technically resectable disease, appear essential to optimize outcomes, supporting the consideration of surgical re-resection as an option within a multidisciplinary management framework.
