The prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma remains poor. Surgical resection prov ides the only chance for cure. Prognostic factors and survival are similar between patients who underwent portal vein resection compared with standard resection. Isolated portal vein involvement should not be a contraindicati on for pancreatic resection.
