Apologies if this is addressed in study, but have you seen a lower recurrence rate with Nanoknife vs total Pancreatectomy? Are you an advocate for adjuvant chemotherapy for all surgical patients, irregardless of pathology report findings or type of surgery?

Nanonkife and total pancreatectomy are used occasionally, but not if they do not offer a better outcome with less chance of recurrence than any other type of operation. Yes, adjuvant therapy is almost always recommended.
