Replies to "When someone is NED, at what point do you feel the person is cured? 2 years?..."
For statistical purposes, we feel that the 5-year mark with NED is counted as cure. I generally do not recommend doing long term maintenance chemotherapy if someone is cancer free for a prolonged period of time after definitive treatment (surgery) of PDAC.
