It is very safe in experienced hands. Make sure your surgeon is an expert in pancreatic cancer surgery and both he/she and their hospital is a high-volume pancreatic center.
Visit academic high volume cancer center for best outcomes.
As long as your surgeon has a lot of experience with this type of surgery, then the outcome of the surgery itself should be good. However, if you are asking about a cure for the cancer, this depends very much on how much the tumor has spread locally.
