Background/Aim: Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis, though outcomes based on age are not well characterized. The aim of current study was to analyze the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer based on age. Patients and Methods: Using National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), we determined survival outcome based on age among patients with pancreatic cancer. Results: A total of 423,482 patients between 2004 and 2017 were included in the study. Patients aged between 18 and 40-years-old had the worst 3-year survival rate among stage 1 disease. Conversely, patients over 65-years-old had the worst 3-year survival rate and presented with more advanced disease (clinical stages 3 and 4). Conclusion: Older patients with more advanced disease had worse survival. Copyright 2022, International Institute of Anticancer Research.
