Sequential Use of AG and mFOLFIRINOX as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend Nab-paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that sequential chemotherapeutic regimen can effectively delay the drug resistance and improve the effect of chemotherapy. Here investigators intend to assess the effect of sequential treatment with Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description
Investigators chose resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. The planned treatment was given to the participants after randomization. Tumor size, recurrence-free survival, overall survival, drugs related side effects and other endpoints events were recorded and analyzed, to assess the sequential treatment with Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox could or couldn't benefit the prognosis of resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
