Background:
Pancreas resection for metachronous colorectal cancer metastasis is episodic and the role of surgery in the management of these patients is still debated.
Methods:
We recruited seven patients from three different centres and analyzed 30-day morbidity and mortality, oncological outcomes at 6 and 12 months.
Results:
There was no postoperative mortality. Complications occurred in two patients (28,6%). All patients completed at least a 12-months follow-up. At 6-month follow-up, only one patient had a recurrence. At 12-month follow-up, no patients died for disease recurrence and one more patient had a new recurrence.
Conclusion:
Our series supports the feasibility and safety of pancreas resection in metastatic colorectal cancer suggesting that radical resection may improve the patient's prognosis.
