Abstract

Borderline resectable pancreatic head carcinoma is a challenging disease that requires multidisciplinary approach to obtain maximal benefits from current therapeutical possibilities. We review current knowledge and therapeutic options for the patients from the surgical, medical oncology and radiotherapy views and emphasize the need for a coordinated multidisciplinary approach to obtain optimal results.
