Core Tip	This study investigates very early recurrence (VER), defined as recurrence within 12 weeks post-surgery, in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. It identifies poorly differentiated tumors as a key predictor of VER, linked to higher six-month mortality, offering a novel prognostic marker. Unlike prior research, it highlights pancreatic head tumors’ association with VER, challenging body/tail dominance theories. The findings suggest tailored surveillance and molecular studies to improve outcomes, marking a significant step toward personalized PDAC management.
