243 Background: The number of incidentally discovered asymptomatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (APDAC) has been increasing along with recent wide spread use of imaging studies in general practice. However, the clinical implication in early detection of asymptomatic pancreatic cancer remains yet to be determined. In this study, we reviewed our experience of patients with PDAC in high volume cancer center and compared the characteristics and long-term outcomes between those with APDAC and symptomatic PDAC (SPDAC). Methods: This retrospective study included 569 consecutive patients with PDAC initially treated in our institution from January 2007 to December 2012. Median follow-up period was 29 months for the survivors. Two hundred and fifty patients underwent surgical resection and 319 patients were deemed unresectable. The patient’s demographics, tumor locations, pathologic stages, and treatment type received, and the overall survival (OS) were compared between the patients with APDAC and those with SPDAC. Results: One hundred and sixty-three patients (29%) presented without any subjective symptoms. When compared with SPDAC, APDAC was associated with early stage (stage I, 6% vs. 1%, p<0.01). Among 163 patients with APDAC, 104 patients (64%) underwent surgical resection, while only 146 patients (36%) out of 406 SPDAC underwent resection ( p<0.01). The 5-year OS rate of the patients with APDAC was 18%, comparing with 7% for those with SPDAC ( p<0.01). Among the patients who underwent resection, the presence of symptoms did not affect the chance of incomplete resection (R1, 12% vs. 22% for patients with APDAC and SPDAC, respectively, p=0.06) and the 5-year OS rate (23% vs. 22%, p=0.09). However, the patients with SPDAC required complex operation (concomitant vascular resection and reconstruction 56% vs. 29% for those with APDAC, p<0.01). Conclusions: Asymptomatic PDAC is associated with better long-term outcomes than symptomatic PDAC due to early stage at presentation and higher chance of resectability. Our findings highlight the potential implication of screening program for early detection of PDAC for selected high-risk patient population.
