Distal Pancreatectomy with Celiac Axis Resection for Carcinoma of the Body and Tail of the Pancreas

Abstract

DP-CAR is a safe and rational procedure for locally advanced pancreatic cancer without preoperative embolization of the CHA. Although the short-term results were equivalent to that for DP, DP-CAR did not improve the long-term survival because of the high rate of R1 resection at present.
