From: Resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with synchronous distant metastasis: is it worthwhile?
Computed tomography (CT) scan of patient number 2 before the initial palliative bypass procedure (A) showing a huge tumor of the head of the pancreas (T) with tumoral infiltration of both superior mesenteric vein (SMV) (white arrow) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) (yellow arrow). Following six cycles of FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy and bypass procedure, the CT scan showed regression of the infiltration of the SMA with no detectable metastases (B).
