Interesting study 🤔, curious to see the entire manuscript 📝 behind firewall 🔥 🧱 Questions that come to mind 🙋🏽♂️ 1) why the switch in regimens pre-op? 3) what is definition of EFS? 3) was the adjuvant component similar? 4) was lap staging done? 🔜 #PREOPANC3 @ALLIANCE_org
New phase 3 PDAC trial just dropped in @Cancer_Cell! 324 patients with resectable PDAC randomized to sequential neoadjuvant get abraxane followed by mFFX vs upfront surgery with adjuvant therapy. 🧵 https://t.co/53RcPepJiZ

Honored by the @Augishealth invite, impressed by the @nhs ability to scale up meaningfully, grateful for the friendships being built here, & excited to see beautiful Glasgow, an 850 years old city that gave us the Glasgow-Coma Scale among so many other contributions!
