Core Tip	Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most aggressive neoplastic processes, and the methods to manage it are constantly evolving. Resection remains the only potential cure for pancreatic cancer, and it can prolong survival in patients compared to those who do not undergo resection. However, only a minority of patients are candidates for surgery at diagnosis, and only a minority of patients who undergo surgery survive beyond 5 years. The most important cause of an inacurate assessment of resectability is underestimation of vascular invasion. This study attempted to address the other side of the problem: overestimation of arterial involvement in patients with pancreatic cancer.
