Objective To summarize the current treatment status and progress of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer in order to improve the understanding of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and to guide clinical work.Method The relevant literatures at home and abroad on neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer were readed and reviewed.Results Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce tumor lesions, increase R0 resection rate, decrease postoperative complication rate, and improve patients’ survival, however, there was currently no high quality evidence-based medicine proof. At present, there was no unified neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens for pancreatic cancer in the world. FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine plus S-1, and gencitabine plus Nab-paclitaxel were the three common regimens we used. In addition, the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of pancreatic cancer had no uniform standard, and there were insufficient methods for evaluating therapeutic effects.Conclusion Although there are still some core problems need to be solved in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, however, it’s curative effect is gradually recognized and widely used by clinicians, which is beneficial to provide a better prognosis for pancreatic cancer patients.
