Abstract
BACKGROUND: Data on long-term actual survival in patients with surgically resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the actual 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) and post-recurrence survival (PRS) in patients who underwent pancreatectomy for PDAC. METHODS: Data from patients who underwent upfront surgical resection for PDAC between 2009 and 2014 were analyzed. Exclusion criteria included PDAC arising in the background of an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy. All alive patients had a minimum follow-up of 60 months. Independent predictors of PRS, DSS, and survival > 5 years were searched. RESULTS: Of the 176 patients included in this study, 48 (27%) were alive at 5 years, but only 20 (11%) had no recurrence. Median PRS was 12 months. In the 154 patients after disease recurrence, independent predictors of shorter PRS were total pancreatectomy, G3 tumors, early recurrence (< 12 months from surgery), and no treatment at recurrence. Median DSS was 36 months. Independent predictors of DSS were CA19-9 at diagnosis > 200 U/mL, total pancreatectomy, N + status, G3 tumors and perineural invasion. Only the absence of perineural invasion was a favorable independent predictor of survival > 5 years. CONCLUSION: More than one-quarter of patients who underwent upfront surgery for PDAC were alive after 5 years, although only 11% of the initial cohort were cancer-free. Long-term survival can also be achieved in tumors with more favorable biology in an upfront setting followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
