321 Background: The predictive roles of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients have not been clarified. We investigated the correlations between the SPARC expression and the postoperative prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from consecutive patients who underwent curative resection for pancreatic cancer in our institution from 2005 to 2014. Stromal SPARC expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry on tumor tissue microarrays (TMAs) from the patients. Results: 179 patients were enrolled to this study. The median follow-up period of the present study was 62.1 months. 70 patients had positive SPARC expression (39.1%). There were no significant difference between the positive SPARC expression group and negative group. In survival analysis, there was significant difference in the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates after surgery, which were 8.1% and 19.8% between the SPARC positive and negative groups, respectively (p = 0.0316). Univariate analysis showed SPARC expression, size of tumor, lymph node metastasis, and residual tumor as the possible prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis revealed SPARC expression (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.44 95%CI; 1.017-2.051), lymph node metastasis (HR = 2.019 95%CI; 1.318-3.091), and residual tumor (HR = 1.648 95%CI; 1.132-2.401)as the independent prognostic factor. Conclusions: Stromal SPARC expression in resectable pancreatic cancer patients might be useful as the predictive survival marker. The prognostic value of SPARC expression should be confirmed in another cohort or in a prospective multicenter-study.

Node Metastasis

The sentinel node procedure is an adequate tool to identify lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. Sentinel nodes are generally examined with greater attention mainly to exclude, as reliably as possible, lymph node metastasis. To achieve this, many protocols are used, resulting in different rates of micrometastasis or isolated tumor cells encountered. Since the prognostic significance of isolated tumor cells or micrometastasis in the sentinel nodes, and the risk of further axillary lymph node involvement in patients with isolated tumor cells, is uncertain and at most limited, these findings may pose difficulties for clinicians in clinical decision making. Protocols that identify lymph node metastasis, from which the clinical relevance is known, are warranted. Unnecessary lymph node dissections should be avoided.

Independent Prognostic Significance

A radical prostatectomy affects the prostate, bilateral seminal vesicles (SV), and the distal parts of the bilateral vasa deferentia (VD). SV invasion (SVI) is associated with an increased risk of lymph node metastasis and recurrence. However, the significance of VD invasion (VDI), either with or without the involvement of their surgical margins, has not been fully appreciated. We think VDI might have an independent prognostic significance, as does SVI, and should be incorporated into the pathology guidelines and the staging systems of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Our case illustrates this.
