Early-onset pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).
e15736 Background: PDAC is a leading and rising cause of cancer-related mortality. There is infrequent description of patients and outcomes with PDAC diagnosed aged <=50 years old (Early onset PC: EOPC). We reviewed the epidemiology, risk factors, oncologic outcomes and genomic data of EOPC pts at MSKCC. Methods: Using an institutional dataline search, N=364 patients were identified with EOPC between 2008-2014 at MSKCC. N= 282 were included in final analysis based on data completeness. Results: Baseline characteristics are summarized in table 1. The average patient was male, aged between 40- 50 years, BMI 24 and had metastatic disease at diagnosis. Family history of malignancy was present in N= 216 patients. The median overall survival (OS) for stages IIA, IIB, III and IV was 19.2, 21.8, 18.8 and 9.7 months respectively. Age, gender, diabetes and smoking history did not have a significant impact on OS. No difference in OS was noted between the groups who received gemcitabine based first-line chemotherapy compared to those with 5-fluorouracil based regimen in metastatic disease (9.9 vs 12 months, p= 0.315). Conclusions: EOPC represents a small subset of patients with PDAC and very rarely arises < 30 years of age. For this MSKCC cohort, outcomes appear similar to patients with average age onset PDAC. Further analyses on genomic characteristics may provide insight into outcomes and genetic underpinnings of EOPC. [Table: see text]
