摘要

Background

The study aimed at assessing whether long-term survival outcomes were different based on tumor location in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients who underwent pancreatectomy following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

Methods

Following CRT, resection rate was 60.5% (286/473) and the resected patients had pancreatic head (n = 218), body (n = 34) and tail (n = 34) tumors. Survival analyses were conducted, independent predictors of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were identified, and then survival outcomes were stratified by the predictors of DFS and OS.

Results

Resection rates were; 64.7% (head) vs. 46.6% (body) and 54.0% (tail) cases, p = 0.009. Among these cases, pancreatic head patients exhibited a higher incidence of initial clinical stage 3 tumors; 48.2% (head) vs. 29.4% (body) and 0% (tail) cases, p < 0.001 with more unresctable-locally advanced tumors; 22.0% (head) vs. 11.8% (body) and 0% (tail), p < 0.001, but demonstrated a better response to CRT; Evans grades 3/4 in 49.1% (head) vs. 23.5% (body) and 26.5% (tail), p = 0.012. Five-year DFS rates were; 19.9% (head) vs. 11.8% (body) vs. 24.6% (tail), p = 0.565 and OS rates; 25.4% (head) vs. 27.7% (body) vs. 32.0% (tail), p = 0.341. Significant predictors of DFS and OS included post-CRT CA19-9 levels, tumor differentiation, resection margins and pathological portal vein invasion. Based on these predictors, survival outcomes were also comparable. Pathological nodal invasion influenced DFS, while pathological stage impacted OS.

Conclusion

Pancreatic head patients had the best resection rate and long-term survival outcomes were comparable, attributable to the better response to CRT by pancreatic head than the body and tail PDAC patients.
