Pancreatic cancer is increasing in incidence and will be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in 2030 in the West. Only 10 to 15% of patients are eligible for curative resection with long-term survival rarely exceeding 20% at 5 years. The management of metastatic or recurrent diseases can not, unfortunately, be recommended to date because of limited data available (INCA 2019). However, recent, low-strength publications have reported encouraging results on the long-term survival of stage IV or recurrent patients. The aim of the present retrospective cohort study is to analyze results of surgery/destruction of metastatic synchronous or metachronous disease or local recurrence in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer
