Resection/Synchronous Pulmonary or Hepatic Oligometastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

This is a clinical trial that tests a surgical treatment. Everyone in the study will get the same treatment, and there is no comparison or placebo group. Patients can join the study if they have pancreatic cancer that has spread to only a few spots in the liver or lungs. They must be receiving a type of chemotherapy called NALIRIFOX before surgery (this is called neoadjuvant chemotherapy). If the cancer gets worse during or after the first 4 cycles of chemotherapy, the patient will be removed from the study. If the cancer stays the same or gets smaller after the first 4 cycles, doctors will check if the main tumor can be removed with surgery. If the tumor cannot be removed, the patient will get 4 more cycles of chemotherapy as standard of care. If the main tumor can be removed, the patient will have surgery 2-6 weeks after finishing chemotherapy. During surgery, doctors will try to remove both the main tumor and the small tumors in the liver or lungs. If, during surgery, the doctor finds that the main tumor actually cannot be removed, the patient may receive 4 more cycles of chemotherapy starting 2-4 weeks after surgery.
