Core Tip	Both surgery and chemotherapy are mandatory in multimodal treatment of pancreatic cancer to obtain curative potential. The sequence of interventions is a core question: Upfront surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy with subsequent resection. Also the role of extended operations incorporating reconstruction of major mesenteric vessels and multi­visceral resections is a matter of ongoing evaluation. The current direction of this development is increasing prognostic importance of surgical resection.
