About this episode
Journal Review in HPB – Surgical Outcomes of the SWOG S1505 Trial

Description: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains a controversial topic for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This randomized trial examines surgical and clinical outcomes from peri-operative regimens, mFOLFIRNOX and gem-Abraxane. The HPB Behind the Knife team dives into the specifics of the trial design and findings, as well as sits down with the Principal Investigator Dr. Syed Ahmad himself to ask about the behind-the-scenes decision-making and the investigations yet to come.
