Pancreatic cancer is one of the major causes of cancer death in Central and Northern European countries as well as in North America, Australasia and Japan 1. Initial treatment involves surgical resection Despite recent improvements in resection rates for localised pancreatic cancer, long-term survival following Surgery alone remains poor with a median of 11-15 months, 2-year survival of 20-40% and 5-year survival of around 10% 2, 3. ESPAC-3 was formulated as a result of the ESPAC-1 study.
