Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates early recurrence in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) derived from intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), aiming to identify predictors to help guide patient management.
  • The research found that early recurrence is defined as occurring within 10.5 months post-surgery, affecting 38% of patients who experienced recurrence, with CA19-9 levels and N2 disease being significant predictors.
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy showed a survival advantage only for high-risk patients, highlighting the importance of risk stratification for better treatment outcomes.
