Impact of surgical wait times on oncologic outcomes in resectable pancreas adenocarcinoma

Timely surgical resection in patients with suspected or diagnosed pancreas adenocarcinoma is an essential part of care. We hypothesized that longer surgical wait time was associated with worse oncologic outcomes.A retrospective cohort of patients (N = 144) with resectable pancreas adenocarcinoma was divided into four wait time groups (<4, 4-8, 8-12, and >12 weeks), defined from the time of diagnosis on cross-sectional imaging. Overall and...
