    This document provides an appraisal of a study on long-term survival rates for patients undergoing the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer. It evaluates factors like whether the study included similar patients, had a representative sample, unbiased detection of outcomes, and adequate follow-up. The summary provides spaces to note event rates, average survival times, confidence intervals, and how applicable the study is to a specific 60-year-old patient with stage 2B pancreatic cancer.
