- The study aimed to find if lower contrast enhancement on postoperative MRI is linked to a higher chance of complications in patients undergoing nasoseptal flap (NSF) reconstruction after surgery.
- It involved a review of patients who had an endoscopic endonasal approach with NSF reconstruction, assessing their MRIs for enhancement scores that indicate how well the flap is healing.
- Results showed that patients with lower enhancement scores had significantly higher odds of complications, suggesting that MRI enhancement levels could help surgeons predict patient outcomes more effectively.
Introduction: Current guidelines for treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer recommend chemotherapy ± radiation, or radiation alone when multimodal therapy is contraindicated. In a subset of patients, guideline-recommended treatment (GRT) achieves sufficient response to qualify for potentially curative resection. This study evaluated trends in treatment utilization and aimed to identify barriers to GRT.
