Abstract
Editorial: The high complication rate of pancreatic resections and the poor oncologic outcome of pancreatic and periampullary malignancies cannot be explained by just a single factor. There are, however, some underlying elements that affect both surgical outcomes and cancer prognosis. Nutritional status and nutritional support/therapy are among these factors, as they strongly impact on both surgical recovery (1) and cancer survival (2).
