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.

AbstractWe investigated the potential application of preoperative serum metabolomes in predicting recurrence in patients with resected pancreatic cancer. From November 2012 to June 2014, patients who underwent potentially curative pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were examined. Among 57 patients, 32 were men; 42 had pancreatic head cancers. The 57 patients could be clearly categorized into two main clusters using 178 preoperative serum metabolomes. Patients within cluster 2 showed earlier tumor recurrence, compared with those within cluster 1 (p = 0.034). A nomogram was developed for predicting the probability of early disease-free survival in patients with resected pancreatic cancer. Preoperative cancer antigen (CA) 19–9 levels and serum metabolomes PC.aa.C38_4, PC.ae.C42_5, and PC.ae.C38_6 were the most powerful preoperative clinical variables with which to predict 6-month and 1-year cancer recurrence-free survival after radical pancreatectomy, with a Harrell’s concordance index of 0.823 (95% CI: 0.750–0.891) and integrated area under the curve of 0.816 (95% CI: 0.736–0.893). Patients with resected pancreatic cancer could be categorized according to their different metabolomes to predict early cancer recurrence. Preoperative detectable parameters, serum CA 19–9, PC.aa.C38_4, PC.ae.C42_5, and PC.ae.C38_6 were the most powerful predictors of early recurrence of pancreatic cancer.

Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) is considered an effective procedure for left-sided pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, whether there are differences in perioperative outcomes, pathologies, or survival outcomes between anterior RAMPS (aRAMPS) and posterior RAMPS (pRAMPS) has not been reported previously. We retrospectively reviewed and compared the demographic, perioperative, histopathologic, and survival data of patients who underwent aRAMPS or pRAMPS for PDAC. We also compared these two groups among patients without periadrenal infiltration or adrenal invasion. A total of 112 aRAMPS patients and 224 pRAMPS patients were evaluated. Periadrenal infiltration, neoadjuvant treatment, and concurrent vessel resection were more prevalent in the pRAMPS group. After excluding patients with periadrenal infiltration, 106 aRAMPS patients were compared with 157 pRAMPS patients. There were no significant differences between the aRAMPS and pRAMPS groups in the pathologic tumor size, resection margin, proportion of tangential margin in the R1 resection, and number of harvested lymph nodes. The median overall survival and disease-free survival also did not differ significantly between the two groups. We cautiously suggest that pRAMPS will not necessarily provide more beneficial histopathologic outcomes and survival rates for left-sided PDAC cases without periadrenal infiltration. If periadrenal infiltration is not suspected, aRAMPS alone should be sufficiently effective.

Aims: The aim of this study was to identify the immune- and locus-associated genes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and evaluate their value in prognosis. Methods: The pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma stromal and immune scores were calculated with the estimation of stromal and immune cells in malignant tumor tissues using expression data algorithm. The authors screened the differentially expressed genes to generate immune- and stromal-related differentially expressed genes. Next, the authors conducted weighted correlation network analysis to find the gene sets related to tumor sites. Results: IL1R1 and LAMA2 were identified as the site- and immune-related genes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and their high expression in pancreatic head cancer exhibited high immune scores and predicted unfavorable prognosis. Conclusion: The authors identified IL1R1 and LAMA2 as immune- and locus-associated genes, and their high expression predicted a poor prognosis.

Objective: to analyze short-term and long-term results of one-step surgery in resectable pancreatic head cancer (PHC), complicated by obstructive jaundice. Material and methods. The retrospective analysis of 123 consecutive cases of the surgical treatment of PHC has been performed. Group I (N = 33) consisted of patients with the total bilirubin level up to 100 µmol/l, group II (N = 31) - with the level of total bilirubin of 100-287 µmol/l who had undergone the one-step surgery. Group III (N = 59) included patients having undergone the surgical treatment with preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in the form of the biliodigestive anastomoses or external drainage, with the total bilirubin level of 125-720 µmol/l. The frequency of postoperative complications, 90-day lethality and the overall survival rate were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results. The frequency of complications in the patients of groups I, II and III was 42.4, 48.4 and 35.6 %, lethality - 3.0, 3.2 and 6.8 %, respectively (P > 0.05); the 5-year survival rate - 39.7 ± 8.8 %, 30.1 ± 11.8 % and 4.9 ± 3.1 % (P = 0.004). Conclusion. The one-step surgical treatment of PHC with moderately severe obstructive jaundice was not accompanied with the increased frequency of postoperative complications and mortality. The overall survival rates were significantly higher in the patients undergoing the one-step surgery and did not correlate with the total bilirubin levels. The two-step surgery was accompanied by extremely low survival rates. The cancellation of the routine PBD procedure can be considered as one of the ways to improve the long-term outcomes of the PHC treatment.

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.

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.
