Core Tip	Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer has become recognized as a clinical entity worthy of study based on a number of clinical observations that recognize a continuum between resectable and locally advanced unresectable disease. There are few prospective trials and therefore no data to support specific treatment regimens in borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Difficulties in achieving a consensus, objective definition, small numbers of patients and variability in therapeutic algorithms have delayed progress in establishing strong evidence-based practices for diagnosis and treatment. The Alliance trial represents a first step in establishing reproducible standards by which future trials in borderline resectable PDAC can abide.
