Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy with venous resection (PDVR) may be performed to achieve tumour clearance in patients with a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with venous involvement. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PDVR on PDAC outcomes.Methods: In total, 435 PDAC patients with either R0 status (n= 322) or R1 status within the superior mesenteric vein groove (n= 113) were extracted from the Recurrence After Whipple’s (RAW) study dataset. PDVR patients were matched in a 1:2 ratio with standard PD patients. Comparisons were then made between the two groups (surgical radicality and survival).Results: A total of 81 PDVRs were matched with 162 PDs. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (5.7% vs. 13.6%,p= 0.032) and R1 resection rates (17.9% vs. 42%,p< 0.001) were higher in the PDVR group. Risk factors for R1 resection included venous resection (p< 0.001 for sleeve andp= 0.034 for segmental resection), pT3 (p= 0.007), and pN1 stage (p= 0.045). PDVR patients had lower median overall survival (OS, 21 vs. 30 months (m),p= 0.023) and disease-free survival (DFS, 17 m vs. 24 m,p= 0.043). Among PDVR patients, R status did not impact on OS (R0: 23 m, R1: 21 m,p= 0.928) or DFS (R0: 18 m, R1: 17 m,p= 0.558). Irrespective of R status, systemic recurrence was higher in the PDVR group (p= 0.034).Conclusions: Independent of R status, the PDVR group had lower overall survival and higher systemic recurrence rates.
背景:对于伴有静脉侵犯的胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)患者,为达到肿瘤根治目的,可能实施胰十二指肠切除术联合静脉切除(PDVR)。本研究旨在评估PDVR对PDAC患者预后的影响。 方法:从"Whipple术后复发(RAW)"研究数据集中,共纳入435例PDAC患者,包括R0切除状态(n=322)及肠系膜上静脉沟R1切除状态(n=113)病例。将PDVR患者与标准PD患者按1:2比例进行匹配,比较两组在手术根治性和生存率方面的差异。 结果:81例PDVR患者与162例PD患者完成匹配。PDVR组的新辅助化疗使用率(5.7% vs. 13.6%,p=0.032)和R1切除率(17.9% vs. 42%,p<0.001)均显著更高。R1切除的危险因素包括静脉切除(袖状切除p<0.001,节段切除p=0.034)、pT3分期(p=0.007)和pN1分期(p=0.045)。PDVR组患者的中位总生存期(OS,21个月 vs. 30个月,p=0.023)和无病生存期(DFS,17个月 vs. 24个月,p=0.043)均显著缩短。在PDVR患者中,R状态对OS(R0:23个月,R1:21个月,p=0.928)和DFS(R0:18个月,R1:17个月,p=0.558)均无显著影响。无论R状态如何,PDVR组的全身复发率均更高(p=0.034)。 结论:无论R状态如何,PDVR组患者的总生存期更短,全身复发率更高。
