Fluorescence-Guided Surgery Allows for More Complete Resection of Pancreatic Cancer Resulting in Longer Disease-Free Survival Compared to Standard Surgery in Orthotopic Mouse Models

BACKGROUND: Negative surgical margins are vital to achieve cure and prolong survival in patients with pancreatic cancer. We inquired if fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) could improve surgical outcomes and reduce recurrence rates in orthotopic mouse models of human pancreatic cancer. STUDY DESIGN: A...
