The Correct Answer is E

Tumours more than 3cm are unlikely to be resectable. Peripancreatic lymphadenopathy is relative contraindication for surgery. Contuguity of 25-50% is equivocal for resectability, where as more than 50% makes it irresectable. Vascular encasement, occlusion or alterationin contour or caliber makes the tumour irresectable. Involvement of gastroduodenal, celiac or superior mesenteric artery is indicator of advanced disease, where as invasion of splenic vessels or spleen is not absolute contraindication for surgery.
