Abstract

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the third leading cause of cancer related death. Data suggests that neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to resection improves survival. In patients with jaundice, this requires preoperative ERCP with biliary stenting. Some patients with biliary stents develop cholangitis, requiring additional intervention. The impact of preoperative cholangitis on outcomes of patients with pancreatic cancer who undergo surgery is unknown. Here, we evaluated the impact of preoperative cholangitis on post operative outcomes and disease recurrence.
