Summary
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy characterized by distinct histological subtypes and a poor prognosis. Among these, the micropapillary pattern, typically observed focally, has been associated with worse outcomes in various cancers. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the micropapillary pattern in PDAC, focusing on its percentage within the tumor and its impact on overall survival.
