BACKGROUND
Neoadjuvant therapy (NT) remains controversial in early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), defined as clinical (c)Stage I-II. Our aim was to analyze rates of pathologic upstaging/downstaging for resectable PDAC treated with surgery-first (SF) vs. NT.
METHODS
Utilizing the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), patients with cStage I-II PDAC who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy in 2006-2013 were pathologically staged using the AJCC 8th edition and compared by treatment sequencing.
RESULTS
Among 13,871 patients, 15.3% received NT. Despite higher pre-treatment T-stage (cT2: 71.9% vs. 56.3%, p < 0.001), NT patients had lower rates of pathologic nodal metastases (46.2% vs. 69.2% in SF, p < 0.001), suggesting higher rates of pathologic downstaging. In cStage II, 33.0% were upstaged to stage III after SF, vs. only 14.0% after NT. In cStage I, 65.5% were upstaged following SF, vs. 46.7% after NT (all p < 0.001). Patients with NT (HR-0.77, p < 0.001) or downstaging (HR-0.80, p < 0.001) had improved overall survival (OS).
CONCLUSION
NT is associated with reduction in unexpected upstaging, reduction in nodal positivity, and improved OS, compared to SF approach in putatively early-stage PDAC. Because clinical staging underestimates the underlying disease burden in resectable PDAC, patients with cStage I-II should be considered for NT.
背景
新辅助治疗（NT）在早期胰腺导管腺癌（PDAC）中仍存在争议，定义为临床（c）I-II 期。我们的目的是分析接受手术优先（SF）与 NT 治疗的可切除 PDAC 的病理升级/降级率。
方法
利用国家癌症数据库（NCDB），对 2006-2013 年间接受胰十二指肠切除术的 cI-II 期 PDAC 患者进行病理分期，采用第 8 版 AJCC 分期，并按治疗顺序进行比较。
结果
在 13871 名患者中，15.3%接受了 NT。尽管术前 T 分期更高（cT2：71.9%比 56.3%，p<0.001），但 NT 患者的病理淋巴结转移率较低（SF 组为 46.2%，比 SF 组为 69.2%，p<0.001），提示病理降级率较高。在 c 期 II 期，33.0%在 SF 后升级为 III 期，而 NT 后仅为 14.0%。在 c 期 I 期，65.5%在 SF 后升级，而 NT 后为 46.7%（均 p<0.001）。接受 NT（HR-0.77，p<0.001）或降级（HR-0.80，p<0.001）的患者总生存率（OS）改善。
结论
与 SF 方法相比，NT 可降低意外升级率、降低淋巴结阳性率，并改善 OS，用于治疗潜在的早期 PDAC。由于临床分期低估了可切除 PDAC 患者的潜在疾病负担，因此应考虑对 cI-II 期患者进行 NT。
