Purpose of work. Improve patient outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer.Material and methods of research. We present our own clinical observation of surgical treatment of malignant neoplasms of the head of the pancreas with invasion of the main venous vessels. In 2019, on the basis of 1 surgical Department of the GUZ Regional clinical oncological dispensary, 2 patients underwent gastropancreatoduodenal resections with circular portal vein resection and end-to-end angioplasty.The results of the study and their discussion. Tumor invasion into the main venous vessels is not a contraindication to performing radical surgery and is achievable when performing gastropancreatoduodenal resection, due to resections of the main venous vessels together with the tumor invading its wall.Conclusions. Resection of the portal vein together with the pancreatic head tumor invading its wall contributes to the achievement of radical surgery when performing gastropancreatoduodenal resection.

Background: The prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) of pancreatic head remains poor, even after potentially curative R0 resection. The aim of this study was to develop an accurate model to predict patients’ prognosis for PDAC of pancreatic head following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 112 patients with PDAC of pancreatic head after pancreaticoduodenectomy in Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital between 2014 and 2018. Results: Five prognostic factors were identified using univariate Cox regression analysis, including age, histologic grade, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Stage 8th, total bilirubin (TBIL), CA19-9. Using all subset analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis, we developed a nomogram consisted of age, AJCC Stage 8th, perineural invasion, TBIL, and CA19-9, which had higher C-indexes for OS (0.73) and RFS (0.69) compared with AJCC Stage 8th alone (OS: 0.66; RFS: 0.67). The area under the curve (AUC) values of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the nomogram for OS and RFS were significantly higher than other single parameter, which are AJCC Stage 8th, age, perineural invasion, TBIL, and CA19-9. Importantly, our nomogram displayed higher C-index for OS than previous reported models, indicating a better predictive value of our model. Conclusions: A simple and practical nomogram for patient prognosis in PDAC of pancreatic head following pancreaticoduodenectomy was established, which shows satisfactory predictive efficacy and deserves further evaluation in the future.

Purpose. To identify major factors affecting the overall survival (OS). To select the cohort of patients with the best prognosis.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis included data of 268 patients, 128 men and 140 women, with median age of 59±10,53 (30 to 83) years. For multivariate analysis of survival, patients were selected who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head.Results. Our study demonstrated that histologically verified vascular invasion (detected only in 30 % of patients who underwent PD with resection of the major vessels) statistically significantly affected the OS. The increased CA19-9 level over 500 U / L (detected in 32,3 % of cases) is the factor that significantly worsens the OS. Patients with high grade adenocarcinoma have significantly better survival rates compared with patients who have moderately or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (p = 0.014; median 26 months, 95 % CI 4.4–47.6 versus median 17 months, 95 % CI 15–19, an median: 13 months, 95 % CI 5–21, respectively). Also, the use of adjuvant chemotherapy has a positive effect on long-term outcomes (p = 0.0001; median 26 months, 95 % CI 21.7–30.3 versus median 13 months, 95 % CI 11.3–14.7).Conclusion. A well-differentiated tumor and the use of adjuvant chemotherapy significantly increase the OS of patients. Poorly differentiated tumor, CA19-9 level over 500 U / mL and the histologically confirmed vascular invasion significantly worsen the prognosis of these patients.

Aim. To access overall and event-free survival rates in patients after surgical treatment of localized and locally spread pancreatic head cancer. Materials and methods. A single center observational trial was conducted at a low-volume pancreatic surgery center in Khanty-Mansiysk. Data were collected retrospectively from 2007 to 2019. Patients with resectable tumors were included into the study whose final histology showed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and en-bloc resection. According to the technical facilities and actual clinical protocols all patients received surgical treatment only and were then monitored. Data on progression patterns and survival rates were collected and calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results. Median overall survival (OS) after R0 pancreaticoduodenectomy was 16,8 months (IQR 10,9-23,5). Median progression-free survival was 10,6 mo. (IQR 8,0-20,7). OS in jaundiced patients was 4,9 mo. shorter than in patients without jaundice at the diagnosis (р = 0,011). Patients with serum bilirubin level < 100 μmol/l lived on average 7.2 months longer (p = 0.014). Most frequent sites of primary progression were liver and peritoneum, lungs, bones, lymph nodes of the abdominal cavity / retroperitoneal space, less often metastases were found in the skin and soft tissues. In 21.4% of cases metastases were found in several organs simultaneously with most frequent combination of liver and peritoneum, liver and lungs, lungs and bones. The median survival after progression was 7.1 ± 4.8 months Conclusion. Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma has a high potential for progression and has therefore poor prognosis. To improve long-term outcomes, it is advisable to apply additional therapeutic options perioperatively.

439 Background: Chemoradiation (CRT) induced lymphopenia is common and associated with poorer survival in multiple solid malignancies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of lymphopenia in patients with nonmetastatic, unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated by neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil [5FU]/leucovorin/irinotecan/oxaliplatin) followed by CRT. We hypothesized that severe lymphopenia would correlate with worse survival. Methods: The inclusion criteria for this single-institution retrospective study were: 1) biopsy-proven diagnosis of unresectable PDAC, 2) absence of distant metastasis, 3) receipt of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX followed by CRT, and 4) absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) available prior to and two months after initiating CRT. In general, CRT consisted of 5FU or capecitabine and RT with 58.8 Gy over 28 fractions. Lymphopenia was graded according to CTCAE v5.0. The primary variable of interest was lymphopenia at two months, dichotomized by ALC of < 0.5/μl (Grade 3 lymphopenia). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Cox modeling and Kaplan-Meier methods were used to perform survival analyses. Results: A total of 138 patients were identified. Median follow-up for the entire cohort was 16 months. Median age was 65. Fifty-six percent were female, 86% were Caucasian, and 97% had ECOG ≤1. Median tumor size was 3.8 cm. Tumor location was pancreatic head in 63%, body in 22%, tail in 8%, and neck in 7%. Median baseline ALC for the entire cohort was 1.5 k/ul. Two months after initiating CRT, 106 (77%) had severe (Grade 3 or worse) lymphopenia. While there were no significant differences in baseline patient or disease characteristics, patients with severe lymphopenia received higher doses of RT with longer duration of treatment compared to those without severe lymphopenia. On multivariable Cox model, severe lymphopenia at two months was significantly associated with increased hazards of death (HR = 4.00 [95% CI 2.03-7.89], p < 0.001). Greater number of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX cycles received prior to CRT was associated with lower hazards of death (HR = 0.84 [95% CI 0.77-0.92], p < 0.001). The 12-month OS was 73% vs. 90% in the cohort with vs. without severe lymphopenia, respectively (log-rank p < 0.001). Conclusions: Treatment-related lymphopenia is common and severe lymphopenia may be a prognostic marker of poorer survival in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Closer observation in high-risk patients and minimization of RT dose and duration are potential approaches to mitigating CRT-related lymphopenia. Our findings also suggest an important role of the host immunity in pancreatic cancer outcomes, supporting the ongoing efforts of immunotherapy trials in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract Background and Aims Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided ethanol lavage and Taxol injection (EUS-ELTI) in pancreatic cystic lesions have been recently performed in some medical centers. This study aimed to optimize the patient selection and analyze the outcomes in patients who underwent surgery after EUS-ELTI in pancreatic cystic lesions. Methods Among 310 patients who underwent EUS-ELTI between January 2007 and December 2014, 23 underwent surgery after EUS-ELTI owing to incomplete treatment and/or adverse events. We evaluated the surgical outcomes in patients who underwent surgery after EUS-ELTI. Then, we retrospectively compared the clinical outcomes of the patients who underwent the surgery after EUS-ELTI with those of patients who underwent upfront surgery for left-sided pancreatic lesions without the EUS-ELTI procedure. Results The pathology revealed degenerated cysts in 12 patients, mucinous cyst neoplasms in five patients, neuroendocrine tumors in two patients, and one intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), one solid pseudopapillary tumor, one pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma arising from an IPMN, and one hepatoid carcinoma. Twelve patients underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and five patients underwent open distal pancreatectomy. All six patients who had lesions in the pancreatic head underwent open pancreaticoduodenectomy. When we retrospectively compared the clinical outcomes between patients who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy after EUS-ELTI and those who did not receive the EUS-ELTI procedure, the spleen-preserving rate was 0% in the EUS-ELTI group and 61.7% (365/592) in the non-EUS-ELTI group (P < 0.001). Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas occurred in 33.3% of patients in the EUS-ELTI group and in 6.8% of patients in the non-EUS-ELTI group (P = 0.025). The mean postoperative hospital stay was also shorter in the non-EUS-ELTI group than in the EUS-ELTI group (8.66 ± 5.66 and 13.56 ± 7.20, P = 0.032). Conclusion Surgical outcomes are compromised after EUS-ELTI in the cystic tumor of the pancreas. Further investigations are needed for investigation of the efficacy and safety of the EUS-ELTI procedure.

Abstract Background Several studies have suggested a survival benefit of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the pancreatic head. Data concerning NAT for PDAC located in pancreatic body or tail are lacking. Methods Post hoc analysis of an international multicenter retrospective cohort of distal pancreatectomy for PDAC in 34 centers from 11 countries (2007–2015). Patients who underwent resection after NAT were matched (1:1 ratio), using propensity scores based on baseline characteristics, to patients who underwent upfront resection. Median overall survival was compared using the stratified log-rank test. Results Among 1236 patients, 136 (11.0%) received NAT, most frequently FOLFIRINOX (25.7%). In total, 94 patients receiving NAT were matched to 94 patients undergoing upfront resection. NAT was associated with less postoperative major morbidity (Clavien–Dindo ≥ 3a, 10.6% vs. 23.4%, P = 0.020) and pancreatic fistula grade B/C (9.6% vs. 21.3%, P = 0.026). NAT did not improve overall survival [27 (95% CI 14–39) versus 31 months (95% CI 19–42), P = 0.277], as compared with upfront resection. In a sensitivity analysis of 251 patients with radiographic tumor involvement of splenic vessels, NAT (n = 37, 14.7%) was associated with prolonged overall survival [36 (95% CI 18–53) versus 20 months (95% CI 15–24), P = 0.049], as compared with upfront resection. Conclusion In this international multicenter cohort study, NAT for resected PDAC in pancreatic body or tail was associated with less morbidity and pancreatic fistula but similar overall survival in comparison with upfront resection. Prospective studies should confirm a survival benefit of NAT in patients with PDAC and splenic vessel involvement.
