ABSTRACT
The notion that technically resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma presents as localized disease is now known to be inaccurate. Evidence supports that most patients have subclinical systemic dissemination at the time of diagnosis. It is now widely accepted that both a local and systemic component of disease coexist, each requiring treatment of improved survival and potential cure. The advent of multiagent chemotherapy regimens has resulted in a modest improvement in survival. Consequently, this article will emphasize the expanding potential and significance of circulating tumor cells in the prognostication and management of patients with pancreatic cancer.
