Core Tip Computed tomography (CT)-based morphologic evaluation remains fundamental for preoperative assessment of portal-systemic venous invasion (PSVI) in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer; however, anatomical metrics alone cannot fully capture tumor biology. Biomarkers obtained through endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition, including human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 and deoxycytidine kinase, reflect chemosensitivity and proliferative behavior, while artificial intelligence-enabled radiomics characterizes microstructural vessel-tumor interface features beyond conventional imaging. Although these approaches increase cost and analytic complexity and lack universal availability, they should be considered complementary rather than substitutive. Selective integration with CT-based models may further improve PSVI risk stratification.
