[A Successful Case of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Undergoing Curative Total Pancreatectomy after Chemotherapy].

A 68-year-old man with jaundice was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The tumor seemed to invade the portal vein, the common hepatic artery, and the splenic artery plexus. The initial diagnosis was unresectable pancreatic cancer. The patient was treated with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel therapy. The tumor reduced in size, and invasion of the main vessels was alleviated after 3 courses. Therefore, we performed total pancreatectomywith total gastrectomy. Histopathological findings showed pancreatic adenocarcinoma, T4(PV)N2M0, fStage Ⅳb, R0. There are reports of curative resection for unresectable pancreatic cancer after chemotherapy. However, the majorityof these reports were about pancreatoduodenectomyor distal pancreatectomy. We present a rare case of curative total pancreatectomy after chemotherapy.
