Abstract

Conversion surgery(CS)post chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer is often reported recently. Although it is still controversial about adaptation of CS, it could possibly be one of the useful choices of treatment for unresectable pancreatic cancer. We report 3 cases of CS which eventually turned out to be pathological complete response.
