Survival after resection for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas

摘要: A retrospective study was performed of 113 patients who underwent surgical resection carcinoma the pancreas from 1970 to 1992. The postoperative mortality rate 15 per cent (5 in last 11 years). actuarial 5-year survival 12 cent. Survival significantly influenced by age (P = 0.03), vascular 0.02), radicality operation 0.01), number transfused blood units tumour differentiation 0.002), lymph node status 0.001), perineural invasion size 0.008), preoperative diabetes 0.001) and stage 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that stage, diabetes, grade were independent predictors long-term survival. type pancreatic (Whipple, subtotal, total or distal pancreatectomy) did not influence prognosis. 14 period 1970-1981 1982-1992, with no statistical difference. These results suggest patient characteristics findings rather than operative procedures affect after for carcinoma.
