Pancreatoblastoma: A report from the European cooperative study group for paediatric rare tumours (EXPeRT)

This international study confirms the rarity of the disease, the critical role of surgical resection both as therapy and as a prognostic variable, and the potential efficacy of chemotherapy. The adoption of an intensive multidisciplinary approach is required, as well as the referral to highly experienced centres. Further international cooperation is needed to collect larger series and stimulate biological studies to improve our understanding of the biology and the natural history of PBL.
