Impact of adjuvant chemotherapy after pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma: A propensity score analysis from a French multicentric cohort
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery Aug 18, 2018
Bergeat D, et al. - In a large multicentric cohort, researchers aimed at evaluating the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC).
