Surgical margin clearance and extended chemotherapy defines survival for synchronous oligometastatic liver lesions of the ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of surgery for circumscribed synchronous hepatic lesions of the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains controversial. Thus, the aim of our study was to compare survival outcome (OS) after surgery of patients with hepatic metastases (M1surg) to patients with only localized disease.

Methods

Correlation analysis of clinicopathological data and OS after resection of M1surg patients and patients with localized PDACs (M0) was performed. Patients were included for survival analysis only if a complete staging including perineural, venous and lymphatic invasion was available.

Results

Out of the study collective, 35 patients received extended surgery (M1surg), whereas 131 patients received standardized surgery for localized disease (M0). Length of hospitalization and mortality was similar in both groups. FOLFIRNOX as an adjuvant treatment regime was administered in ~ 23 and ~ 8% of M1surg and M0 patients, respectively. In subgroup analysis of R0 resected patients and in multivariate analysis of the total cohort, there was no difference in overall survival between both groups. Only the resection status (R1 vs R0) and venous invasion (V1) were identified as independent prognostic factors. Site of recurrence in R0 resected M1surg patients and in M0 patients were homogenously distributed.

Conclusion

This is the first study demonstrating a survival benefit after extended surgery for synchronously hepatic-metastasized PDACs. We found no difference in survival outcome of metastasized patients when compared to patients with localized disease. FOLFIRINOX as an adjuvant treatment regime for resected M1surg presumably is worthwhile. Larger multicenter studies are still needed to validate our results.

Project description:BackgroundResection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with synchronous liver metastasectomy is still a matter of debate. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of synchronous resection of PDAC and liver metastases for curative intent at a high-volume surgical center.MethodsPatients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with synchronous liver metastasectomy (M1 resection group, n = 50) were matched 1 : 1 based on tumor and nodular stage, age, gender, body mass index and concomitant disease with two control groups (M0 resection and M1 no resection). The M0 resection group included patients who underwent PD without metastases. The M1 no resection group included patients with liver metastases who underwent palliative bypass or exploratory laparotomy without resection followed by palliative and adjuvant therapies.ResultsM1 resection group had a longer operation time, larger intraoperative blood loss, and longer postoperative hospital stay than other two groups. R0 resection rate of M1 resection group was similar to that of M0 resection group (92% vs. 94%, p = 1.000). Postoperative complications were comparable between the groups. The overall median survival in M1 resection, M0 resection, and M1 no resection group was 16, 30, and 6 months, respectively. Cumulative survival rates for 1-, 2-, and 3-year of the M1 resection, M0 resection, and M1 no resection group were 63.8%, 29.0%, and 6.7%; 94.0%, 74.4%, and 25.1%; 24.0%, 2.0%, and 0%, respectively. The survival of M1 resection group was worse than that of M0 resection group (p = 0.009), however significantly much better than that of M1 no resection group (p = 0.001). Univariate analysis showed carcinoembryonic antigen >8 ng/ml and non-R0 resection were associated with death. Multivariate analysis revealed that M1 resection group had improved survival compared with M1 no resection group.ConclusionsPD with synchronous liver metastasectomy for oligometastatic PDAC is safe and feasible, it might provide survival benefits for selected patients.

Project description:PurposeThe detection of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL) causes uncertainty for physicians and patients, and international guidelines are based on low evidence. The extent and perioperative risk of resections of PCL in Germany needs comparison with these guidelines to highlight controversies and derive recommendations.MethodsClinical data of 1137 patients who underwent surgery for PCL between 2014 and 2019 were retrieved from the German StuDoQ|Pancreas registry. Relevant features for preoperative evaluation and predictive factors for adverse outcomes were statistically identified.ResultsPatients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) represented the largest PCL subgroup (N = 689; 60.6%) while other entities (mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN), serous cystic neoplasms (SCN), neuroendocrine tumors, pseudocysts) were less frequently resected. Symptoms of pancreatitis were associated with IPMN (OR, 1.8; P = 0.012) and pseudocysts (OR, 4.78; P < 0.001), but likewise lowered the likelihood of MCN (OR, 0.49; P = 0.046) and SCN (OR, 0.15, P = 0.002). A total of 639 (57.2%) patients received endoscopic ultrasound before resection, as recommended by guidelines. Malignancy was histologically confirmed in 137 patients (12.0%), while jaundice (OR, 5.1; P < 0.001) and weight loss (OR, 2.0; P = 0.002) were independent predictors. Most resections were performed by open surgery (N = 847, 74.5%), while distal lesions were in majority treated using minimally invasive approaches (P < 0.001). Severe morbidity was 28.4% (N = 323) and 30d mortality was 2.6% (N = 29). Increased age (P = 0.004), higher BMI (P = 0.002), liver cirrhosis (P < 0.001), and esophageal varices (P = 0.002) were independent risk factors for 30d mortality.ConclusionWith respect to unclear findings frequently present in PCL, diagnostic means recommended in guidelines should always be considered in the preoperative phase. The therapy of PCL should be decided upon in the light of patient-specific factors, and the surgical strategy needs to be adapted accordingly.
