Long-term oncologic benefit of postoperative chemotherapy in the resected ampulla of Vater cancer: hope or hype? A propensity score matching analysis
This study suggests that PACT does not provide a clear oncologic benefit for resected AoVCa patients and may even be detrimental for those with favorable prognostic factors. There is an urgent need to develop effective anticancer treatments and consider tailored therapeutic approaches based on individual patient profiles. Future research should focus on long-term follow-up and the integration of precision medicine to improve outcomes for AoVCa patients.
