Background: the improved survival rates achieved using new polychemotherapy regimens in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPDAC) have suggested a potential role for surgery following a favorable response to initial chemotherapy (IC). The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the available evidence on the role of surgery following IC in mPDAC, focusing on oligometastatic disease to the liver (lmPDAC). Methods: studies reporting on patients with lmPDAC undergoing surgery after IC were included. The main outcome was overall survival (OS). Results: six observational retrospective studies were included in the qualitative analysis. Data were retrieved on 2087 patients. The most common IC regimen in patients undergoing surgery was FOLFIRINOX (N 84, 73%). Only three studies reported survival comparison among patients treated with IC+surgery vs. IC alone. Median OS varied from 23 to 56 months after conversion surgery vs. 11 to 16.4 months after IC alone. Conclusions: despite wide heterogeneity of chemotherapy regimens, different downstaging criteria and potential selection biases, patients with oligometastatic lmPDAC undergoing surgery after IC have significantly higher survival rates compared to patients treated with IC alone. Future trials are needed for definition of univocal criteria of downstaging, oligometastatic definition and indications for surgery.

This systematic review aimed to find attitudes toward Altruistic and Game-playing love styles across individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Addressing major moderators concerning Altruistic and Game-playing love styles are the secondary objectives of this review. This review included 102 articles comprising samples from 37 countries (N = 41997). The findings of this meta-analysis show that there is a collectivistic and individualistic difference in Game-playing but not in the Altruistic love style. Collectivistic and individualistic cultures, on average, demonstrate the same perception concerning the Altruistic love style, whereas collectivistic culture shows the Game-playing love style more strongly. To explain the role of moderators in key measures, the subgroup analysis and meta-regression show that both Game-playing and Altruistic love styles decline by increasing the length of the relationship. Likewise, having children affects these love styles such that the Altruistic love style is improved, and the Game-playing love style is reduced by the presence of children in families.
