Core Tip

Core Tip: Portomesenteric vein involvement is common in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, which is correlated to the poor outcome, and needs individualized therapy. Pancreatectomy and portomesenteric vein resection (PVR) allow patients to achieve radical resection, however, early recurrence is frequently observed. This study constructed the first tailored recurrence scoring system unique for patients undergoing pancreatectomy and PVR, which consisted of Serum Recurrence Score and Recurrence Nomogram. With this scoring system, clinicians could predict early recurrence efficiently, and identify patients at high-risk of recurrence for individualized therapy timely, aiming to restrain the recurrence and improve the prognosis.
