Key Words	Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer; Pancreatic cancer; Neoadjuvant treatment; Chemotherapy; Radiotherapy; Pancreatic tumour
Core Tip	The term borderline resectable identifies a tumour with an aggressive biological behaviour, on which a neoadjuvant approach instead of upfront surgery one should be preferred, in order to obtain a radical resection (R0) and to avoid an early recurrence after surgery. The aim of this review is to critically analyze the available literature on this topic.
