BACKGROUND/AIM: Little is known about the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) for patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (R-PDAC). The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the long-term outcome of patients with R-PDAC undergoing pancreatectomy with and without NAC-GS to clarify the clinical significance of NAC-GS.
A total of 77 patients with R-PDAC who were scheduled for pancreatectomy between January 2012 and December 2017 were enrolled. Of these patients, 39 received NAC-GS (GS group) and 38 had upfront surgery (UFS group).
Among the 77 patients, one patient in each group did not undergo pancreatectomy due to intraoperative non-curative factors. Median tumor size and the number of lymph nodes with metastasis were significantly lower in the GS group than in the UFS group (p=0.002 and p=0.017). However, the 5-year overall survival rate was similar in the two groups (26.1% versus 21.5%, p=0.930).
NAC-GS may not be recommended for patients with R-PDAC since it does not seem to offer any survival benefits.
背景/目的:对于可切除胰腺导管腺癌(R-PDAC)患者,吉西他滨加 S-1(GS)新辅助化疗(NAC)的疗效知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨接受 NAC-GS 与未接受 NAC-GS 的 R-PDAC 患者行胰切除术的长期预后差异,以阐明 NAC-GS 的临床意义。
共纳入 2012 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间计划接受胰切除术的 77 例 R-PDAC 患者。其中 39 例接受 NAC-GS(GS 组),38 例直接手术(UFS 组)。
在 77 例患者中,每组各有 1 例患者因术中非治愈因素未行胰切除术。GS 组的中位肿瘤大小和转移淋巴结数量明显低于 UFS 组(p=0.002 和 p=0.017)。然而,两组的 5 年总生存率相似(26.1%比 21.5%,p=0.930)。
由于 NAC-GS 似乎并未带来生存获益,因此不建议将其用于 R-PDAC 患者。
