  • Pancreatic cancer is characterized by high malignancy, low early diagnosis rates, and poor prognosis. Approximately 15%-20% of patients at initial diagnosis have resectable pancreatic cancer, 20%-30% have borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, and over 50% are present with unresectable. Surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment option available, but the unique anatomical position of the pancreatic head necessitates complex gastrointestinal reconstruction after resection, which may lead to severe complications such as grade B/C pancreatic fistulas and bleeding. Comprehensive preoperative preparation and individualized postoperative management are crucial to reducing perioperative complications, enhancing patient quality of life, and expediting the initiation of adjuvant therapy. This article reviews perioperative integrated management strategies for patients with pancreatic cancer, drawing on literature and our center's experience, including nutritional therapy, psychological support, preoperative jaundice reduction, neoadjuvant treatment, the prevention and management of pancreatic fistulas and postoperative bleeding, with the aim of improving clinical outcomes and overall survival rates.
