Node negative duodenal adenocarcinoma is associated with long-term patient survival following pancreaticoduodenal resection.

Background: Duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) is a rare gastrointestinal malignancy. There is limited data reporting patient outcomes following radical pancreatic resection for DA. We assessed the disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for DA in our institution.
