PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of total pancreatectomy in a modern cohort of pancreatic cancer patients and to establish whether any factors identified prior to pancreatic resection were related to poor survival. METHODS: We analyzed, retrospectively, patients who underwent total pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer between 2007 and 2016. The short- and long-term outcomes were investigated and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic factors identified before resection. RESULTS: The subjects were 49 patients with a mean age of 65 years, who underwent total pancreatectomy in our hospital during the study period. Peritoneal washing cytology was performed in 48 patients, with positive results in 4 (8.3%). There was no 30-day mortality. The median overall survival was 22.5 months, with a 5-year survival rate of 28.5%. Univariate analyses of the pre-resection variables revealed that overall survival was associated with tumor location, resectability classification, maximum standardized uptake value of positron emission tomography, the preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level, and peritoneal washing cytology status. Multivariate analysis revealed that positive peritoneal washing cytology status and the maximum standardized uptake value were independent predictors of poor survival. CONCLUSION: Total pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer is appropriate for selected patients, but peritoneal washing cytology and positron emission tomography should be performed preoperatively.
