A 67-year-old man visited our hospital for jaundice. Abdominal dynamic CT showed the hypovascular tumor at the head of the pancreas that surrounded superior mesenteric artery(SMA)at an angle of 220 degree. No metastasis in lymph nodes and other organs was observed. We diagnosed the tumor unresectable locally advanced(UR-LA)pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy was administered with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel(GEM+nab-PTX)and achieved partial response. Regression in size and in range around SMA to an angle of 150 was observed. We assessed it possible to resect the tumor curatively, and performed subtotal stomach preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and dissection of the plexus around the SMA, resulted in R0 surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered, and no recurrence was observed up to present, more than a year. It is suggested that GEM+nab-PTX can be effective as the primary therapy against UR-LA pancreatic cancer.
