Improved Survival with Delayed Surgery at High-Volume Centers Versus Early Surgery at Low-Volume Centers for Pancreatic Cancer

Waiting for surgery at an HVC is associated with improved acute outcomes and superior overall survival compared with earlier operations at an LVC. These findings assuage concerns regarding the potential longer wait times for surgery associated with centralization of surgical care for PDAC.

Abstract

Waiting for surgery at an HVC is associated with improved acute outcomes and superior overall survival compared with earlier operations at an LVC. These findings assuage concerns regarding the potential longer wait times for surgery associated with centralization of surgical care for PDAC.
