  schema:description "ESPAC-5 randomised people whose pancreatic cancer sat on the border of being removable between going straight to surgery and having two months of chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy first; those treated first were far more likely to be alive a year later, 78 to 84 percent with chemotherapy against 39 percent with immediate surgery, which supports treating before operating in borderline disease."@en ;
