The aim of the study was to assess the relevance of resection margin status for survival after resection of pancreatic-head ductal adenocarcinoma.
The definition and prognostic value of incomplete microscopic resection (R1) remain controversial.
Prognostic factors were analyzed in 147 patients included in a prospective multicenter study on the impact of tumor clearance evaluated using a standardized pathology protocol.
Thirty patients received neoadjuvant treatment (NAT = 20%); 41 had venous resection (VR = 28%), and 70% received adjuvant chemotherapy. In-hospital mortality was 3% (5/147). Follow-up was 83 months. Tumor clearance was 0, <1.0, <1.5, and <2.0 mm in 35 (25%), 92 (65%), 95 (67%), and 109 (77%) patients, respectively. R0-resection rates decreased from 75% to 35% when changing the definition of R1 status from R1-direct invasion (0 mm) to R1 <1.0 mm. On univariate analysis, clearance <1.0 or <1.5 mm, pT stage, pN stage, LNR ≥0.2, tumor grade 3, and lymphovascular invasion were significantly associated with 5-year survival. On multivariate analysis, pN was the most powerful independent predictor (P = 0.004). Clearance <1.0 or <1.5 mm had borderline significance for the entire cohort, but was relevant in certain subgroups (upfront pancreatectomy (n = 117; P = 0.049); without VR or NAT (n = 87; P = 0.003); N+ without VR or NAT (n = 50; P = 0.004). No N0-patient had R1-0 mm. Additional independent risk predictors were (1) R1 <1.0 mm for the SMA-margin in specific subgroups (upfront pancreatectomy, N0 patients without NAT, N+ patients without NAT or VR; (2) R1-0 mm posterior-margin for the NAT group (P = 0.004).
Tumor clearance <1.0 or <1.5 mm was an independent determinants of postresection survival in certain subgroups. To avoid misinterpretation, future trials should specify the clearance margin in millimeter.

本研究旨在评估胰腺头部导管腺癌切除术后切缘状态对生存的相关性。
不完全显微镜下切除(R1)的定义和预后价值仍存在争议。
对 147 例患者的预后因素进行了分析,这些患者纳入了一项前瞻性多中心研究,该研究评估了使用标准化病理方案评估肿瘤清除情况的影响。
30 例患者接受新辅助治疗(NAT=20%);41 例患者行静脉切除术(VR=28%),70%患者接受辅助化疗。院内死亡率为 3%(5/147)。随访时间为 83 个月。肿瘤清除率分别为 0、<1.0、<1.5 和<2.0mm 的患者分别为 35(25%)、92(65%)、95(67%)和 109(77%)。当将 R1 状态的定义从 R1-直接侵犯(0mm)更改为 R1<1.0mm 时,R0 切除率从 75%降至 35%。单因素分析显示,肿瘤清除率<1.0 或<1.5mm、pT 分期、pN 分期、LNR≥0.2、肿瘤分级 3 级和脉管侵犯与 5 年生存率显著相关。多因素分析显示,pN 是最有力的独立预测因子(P=0.004)。对于整个队列,肿瘤清除率<1.0 或<1.5mm 具有边缘意义,但在某些亚组中具有相关性(直接手术切除(n=117;P=0.049);无 VR 或 NAT(n=87;P=0.003);无 VR 或 NAT 的 N+(n=50;P=0.004)。没有 N0 患者的 R1-0mm。其他独立的风险预测因子包括(1)对于特定亚组(直接手术切除、无 NAT 的 N0 患者、无 NAT 或 VR 的 N+患者),SMA 切缘的 R1<1.0mm;(2)对于 NAT 组,后缘的 R1-0mm(P=0.004)。
对于某些亚组,肿瘤清除率<1.0 或<1.5mm 是术后生存的独立决定因素。为避免误解,未来的试验应明确毫米级别的清除边界。
