Patients with rPLC + have more favorable survival than those with microscopic PD/PE after surgery. Curative resection should be performed in patients with rPLC + , even if N2 is detected during surgery. However, the rPLC + group often has N2 upstaging; therefore, systematic nodal dissection should be performed in rPLC + patients for exact staging. rPLC may contribute to preventing oversight PD by re-evaluation during surgery.
