A neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) first approach has been suggested to improve tumour stage and, in some cases, produce a total neoadjuvant response. However, in resectable disease, there are concerns that non\u2010response or delay to definitive surgical excision could allow disease progression during this time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This retrospective cohort analysis sampled cases (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009152) of resectable and borderline resectable PDAC from a pancreatic cancer centre.

FOLFIRINOX (57.3%) was the most common chemotherapy agent, and overall NAC completion was 53.3%. Disease progression during NAC occurred in 33.3% of cases, with 20% of those initially classified as resectable. In this cohort, the UFS group had a significantly improved overall survival compared to the NAC group (25.2 vs. 18.2\u2009months,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.03), which was not influenced by initial disease classification (HR\u2009=\u20091.03, 95% CI [0.10\u201310.41],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.98).
