Conclusion
There were six RCTs that included 850 patients. Neoadjuvant therapy (NT) improved overall survival (hazard ratio 0.73, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.61 to 0.86), regardless of type of pancreatic cancer, or whether chemotherapy or radiotherapy was used. NT increased the chance of margin negative resection.
