Core Tip	Pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal tumor types, is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in developed countries. The need to prolong patient survival has prompted the development of improved protocols to evaluate duodenopancreatectomy specimens and their surgical margins by pathologists. Despite the availability of several guidelines and their continual updating, there is no consensus on basic issues such as surgical margins or the definition of incomplete excision. We herein review the controversies and approaches in the literature and present our own protocol for the handling and reporting of pancreatoduodenectomy specimens by pathologists.
