Summary:Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the validity of surgical resection for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) aged ≥80 years stratified by resectability status. Methods Medical records of 245 patients with resectable (R) and 169 with borderline resectable/unresectable (BR/UR) PDAC were reviewed retrospectively. Of the total of 414 patients, 56 (14%) were ≥80 years. The prognostic impact of age ≥80 years was analyzed with stratification by resectability status. Results No significant difference was found in the incidence of major complications between patients aged ≥80 versus
