This Case Study describes a 72-year-old male who had an unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and enrolled in a clinical trial of endoscopic ultrasound-guided neoadjuvant therapy to downstage the tumor. The tumor was surgically removed with a complete pathologic response and showed no signs of recurrence at the 12-month follow-up, although the patient went on to develop bilateral pulmonary nodules and a liver mass, consistent with metastatic disease.
