Pancreatic cancer resectability project

Southern MelbourneNorth Eastern Melbourne

SMICS and NEMICS engaged key stakeholders to adopt the ‘International consensus on definition and criteria of borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma 2017.’ A newly developed synoptic report is currently being piloted by MDMs at the Alfred Hospital and Austin Health.
The aims of this project were to improve patient outcomes by agreeing a common standard statewide definition for resectability for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, to ensure consistent management of pancreatic cancer patients. Also, to introduce a standard structured radiological reporting template across health services to enable a consistent presentation of resectability status at multidisciplinary meetings (MDM).
