Neoadjuvant treatment is a risk factor for clinically relevant chyle leak (ISGPS Grade B/C) after pancreatic cancer resection: a retrospective cohort study

Chyle leak is a relevant complication after surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Increasing use of multimodal neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and extended resections may contribute to a higher incidence. This study aimed to describe the incidence of clinically relevant chyle leak and ident...

Description
Summary:Chyle leak is a relevant complication after surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Increasing use of multimodal neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and extended resections may contribute to a higher incidence. This study aimed to describe the incidence of clinically relevant chyle leak and identify its risk factors in patients with PDAC treated with NAT and surgery versus upfront surgery.
