Inclusion Criteria
Patients with pancreatic cancer planned for curative-intended resection, any vascular contact on pre-operative CT-imaging, treated with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy, aged 18 years or older.
Exclusion Criteria
Peri-ampullary cancer of non-pancreatic origin (i.e. duodenal carcinoma, papillary carcinoma, neuro-endocrine tumors or intra-papillary mucinous neoplasms without malignant degeneration)*. Pancreatic cancer in the absence of vascular involvement on (pre-treatment) computed tomography. *When in doubt between cancer malignancy or benign condition, inclusion/registration is allowed based on the rationale that curative-intent resection is also the treatment goal in these patients.
