Tumor Board # 89Nov 2, 2026Perioperative Management of Pancreatic Cancer
Most patients with localized pancreatic cancer already have disease the scans cannot see, which is why these GI oncologists treat chemotherapy before surgery as a test of tumor biology. On this episode of the BackTable GI Oncology Creator Weekend™, medical oncologist Dr. Andrew Hendifar leads a tumor board with GI medical oncologists Dr. Arsen Osipov and Dr. Daniel Ahn on the perioperative management of pancreatic cancer. They explain why nearly every patient with localized disease now starts with chemotherapy rather than surgery, which red flags such as an elevated CA 19-9, enlarged lymph nodes, or profound weight loss point to hidden micrometastatic disease, and why an 80-year-old can still be a candidate for FOLFIRINOX when biological age outweighs chronological age.
