: Among 45 patients who were enrolled in our study, 13 patients have been previously reported in our previous paper (AJR Am J Roentgenol 2018, 210(5):1059–1065). However, the study purposes of these two studies were different. The previously published paper was a comparison of the diagnostic performance of CT in assessing tumor resectability pancreatic cancers after receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiation in comparison with those undergoing up-front surgery. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of CT findings and texture analysis for predicting the resectability and prognosis in patients after neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic cancer.
