Abstract:Surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer is to date the only modality that offers a chance of long-term survival. Potentially curative surgery is an option for only about 15% of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to determine the survival and to assess the association of clinical, pathological, and treatment features with survival of patients who underwent resection of pancreatic cancer at the Department of Surgery of Udine University Hospital. From November 1989 to December 2005, 137 consecutive patients, who underwent surgical procedures for pancreatic cancer, were followed in our department. We performed 76 pancreatico-duodenectomy, 26 distal pancreatectomies and 35 total pancreatectomies. The surgical reconstruction after pancreatico-duodenectomy was as follows: 11 closures of the main duct with manual nonabsorbable stitches, 24 closures of the main duct with a linear stapler, 17 occlusions of the main duct with neoprene glue and 24 duct-to-mucosa anastomoses. Mean survival time was 27.7 +/- 26.93 months (mean +/- SD) and mean disease-free survival time was 25.4 +/- 23.06 months (mean +/- SD). 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9-year survival rates were 63.9, 33.7, 21.17, 12.7 and 10.2%, respectively. Significant differences in survival were recorded by the Log-rank test for age > 70 (p = 0.001), surgical procedures (p = 0.00046) and presence of metastases (p = 0.0055) The treatment of pancreatic cancer is undertaken with two different aims. The first is radical surgery for patients with early-stage disease, mainly stage I and partly stage II. In all other cases, the aim of treatment is the palliation of the several distressing symptoms related to this cancer. The standard treatment option for resectable tumours is radical pancreatic resection according to the Whipple procedure or total pancreatectomy.
