e14679 Background: Locally advanced disease is found in about 40% of patients with pancreatic cancer at initial presentation. Tumors involving major visceral arteries are commonly deemed unresectable. In this study we analyzed the feasibility of R0 resection of locally advanced pancreatic cancer encasing major visceral arteries using arterial reconstruction. Methods: The following data were collected: age, gender, operative details, post-operative complications, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy and overall and disease free survival. Patient survival was calculated utilizing Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates. Results: From Dec., 2002 to Jan., 2012, 13 patients underwent pancreatic resection with concomitant resection and reconstruction of major visceral arteries for pancreatic cancer (9 males and 4 females, median age 63 yrs (range: 50–82 yrs)). The arterial involvement included celiac artery (n=6), superior mesenteric artery (n=4) and hepatic artery (n=3). Resections included pancreatico-duodenectomy (n=9), distal pancreatectomy (n=3), and total pancreatectomy (n=1). Management of the arterial involvement included: resection of celiac axis without reconstruction (n=2), reconstruction of one artery (n=6), two arteries (n=4) and three arteries (n=1). Nine of the 13 patients underwent simultaneous venous reconstruction. R0 resection was accomplished in 11, R1 in 1, and R2 in 1 patient. Ten of the 13 patients received neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant chemo- or chemo-radiation therapy outside protocols. To date, 4 patients are alive and disease free at 1, 4, 15 and 111 months, and 1 patient is alive with recurrence at 100 months. Six-month patient survival was 65% and median overall survival was 17 months. The probability of 5-year survival was 22%. Conclusions: Our study indicates that in select patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer with involvement of major visceral arteries R0 resection is feasible by performing pancreatic resection with arterial reconstruction. The survival data in this group of patients are encouraging and provide the opportunity to reconsider the contraindications to surgical management of such patients.

259 Background: We designed this phase II trial to determine the efficacy and safety of a neoadjuvant regimen involving gemcitabine, infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and radiation therapy (RT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma Methods: Induction chemotherapy (CT) consisted of two 3-week cycles of weekly gemcitabine with 24-hour continuous infusion of 5 FU for 2 of 3 weeks. Chemoradiation (CRT) consisted of RT of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions or 50 Gy in 25 fractions and weekly oxaliplatin with 24-hour continuous infusion of 5 FU throughout RT. The first 7 patients also received celecoxib 200 mg BID throughout induction CT and CRT. Upon completion of CRT, surgical candidates underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy. Response rate was assessed according to RECIST criteria 4 weeks after the end of CRT. CTC AE v3 was used to grade the acute side effects. The failure-free survival (FFS), overall survival (OS) and median survival were analyzed by the Kaplan Meier method. Results: Twenty-nine patients who had borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma at the UNMC were enrolled and received induction CT. Twenty-four patients completed CRT. Nineteen patients had surgical exploration: 4 were unresectable, 6 had intra-abdominal metastases, and 9 had resection (seven had R0 resection, 2 had R1 resection, and 6 had negative nodes). The median follow up was 27 months. There were maximum 48% acute grade 3-4 toxicities during induction CT and CRT. The median FFS and OS were 7 and 10 months and the 2-year FFS and OS were 17% and 28%. Median OS and FFS for patients with and without resection was 26 vs. 9 months, p=0.06; and 19 vs. 5 months, p=0.01. Patients with CA19-9 above 90 U/L throughout treatment had significantly shorter FFS and OS than patients with CA19-9 less than 90 throughout treatment or had a decline from baseline to less than 90 after treatment. Conclusions: Induction gemcitabine/5-FU followed by 5-FU/oxaliplatin concurrent with RT led to down staging in 31% patients with subsequent resection. Further innovative strategies are needed to improve the outcome of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

243 Background: LAPC is found in about 40% of patients with pancreatic cancer at initial presentation. Tumors involving major visceral arteries are commonly deemed unresectable. In this study we analyzed the feasibility of R0 resection of LAPC encasing major visceral arteries using arterial resection and reconstruction. Methods: The following data were collected prospectively following pancreatic resection with vascular reconstruction in patients with LAPC: age, gender, operative details, post-operative complications, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy and overall and disease free survival. Patient survival was calculated utilizing Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates. Results: From Dec., 2002 to Sep., 2012, 12 patients with LAPC (8 males and 4 females, median age 58.5 yrs (range: 51–78 yrs)) underwent pancreatic resection with concomitant resection and reconstruction of major visceral arteries in our institution. The arterial involvement included celiac artery (n=8), and superior mesenteric artery (n=4). Resections included pancreatico-duodenectomy (n=8), distal pancreatectomy (n=3), and total pancreatectomy (n=1). Management of the arterial involvement included: resection of celiac axis without reconstruction (n=2), resection and reconstruction of one artery (n=6), two arteries (n=3) and three arteries (n=1). R0 resection was accomplished in 9, R1 in 2, and R2 in 1 patient. One patient (8%) died peri-operatively from pulmonary thromboembolism. Chemo- or chemo-radiation therapy was not protocolized. To date, 5 patients are alive and disease free at 7, 9, 11, 23 and 117 months, and 1 patient is alive with recurrence at 107 months. Six-month patient survival was 75% and median overall survival (MOS) was 19 months. Conclusions: The MOS in this patient population with systemic therapy is around 9 months. Although the sample size in our study is limited, observed MOS of 19 months is encouraging and provides the opportunity to reconsider the contraindications to surgical management of such patients with T4 LAPC. Timing of perioperative chemotherapy will be evaluated in a prospective trial.

Abstract Pancreatectomy with arterial resection is a treatment option in selected patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. This study aimed to identify factors predicting cancer-specific survival in this patient population. A single-Institution prospective database was used. Pre-operative prognostic factors were identified and used to develop a prognostic score. Matching with pathologic parameters was used for internal validation. In a patient population with a median Ca 19.9 level of 19.8 U/mL(IQR: 7.1–77), cancer-specific survival was predicted by: metabolic deterioration of diabetes (OR = 0.22, p = 0.0012), platelet count (OR = 1.00; p = 0.0013), serum level of Ca 15.3 (OR = 1.01, p = 0.0018) and Ca 125 (OR = 1.02, p = 0.00000137), neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (OR = 1.16; p = 0.00015), lymphocytes-to-monocytes ratio (OR = 0.88; p = 0.00233), platelets-to-lymphocytes ratio (OR = 0.99; p = 0.00118), and FOLFIRINOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR = 0.57; p = 0.00144). A prognostic score was developed and three risk groups were identified. Harrell’s C-Index was 0.74. Median cancer-specific survival was 16.0 months (IQR: 12.3–28.2) for the high-risk group, 24.7 months (IQR: 17.6–33.4) for the intermediate-risk group, and 39.0 months (IQR: 22.7–NA) for the low-risk group (p = 0.0003). Matching the three risk groups against pathology parameters, N2 rate was 61.9, 42.1, and 23.8% (p = 0.04), median value of lymph-node ratio was 0.07 (IQR: 0.05–0.14), 0.04 (IQR:0.02–0.07), and 0.03 (IQR: 0.01–0.04) (p = 0.008), and mean value of logarithm odds of positive nodes was − 1.07 ± 0.5, − 1.3 ± 0.4, and − 1.4 ± 0.4 (p = 0.03), in the high-risk, intermediate-risk, and low-risk groups, respectively. An online calculator is available at www.survivalcalculator-lapdac-arterialresection.org. The prognostic factors identified in this study predict cancer-specific survival in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer and low Ca 19.9 levels undergoing pancreatectomy with arterial resection.
