[The clinicopathologic features and prognostic analysis of pancreatic metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma].

To investigate the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of the patients who had clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) with metastasis to the pancreas. From Jan, 2000 to Dec, 2018, 18 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and had pathologically diagnosed metastasis to the pancreas were enrolled at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The clinical and pathological data were retrospectively analyzed. 11 out of 18 patients were male, and the other 7 were female. The average age of onset of CCRCC was 51.4 years. 8 cases (44.4%) occurred in the left kidney, and the other 10 cases (55.6%) with right kidney tumor. Three patients had synchronous pancreatic metastasis, and the other 15 patients had metachronous pancreatic metastasis. The median time from CCRCC onset to pancreas metastasis was 156 months. The main complaints of pancreas metastasis were abdominal pain, jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding, nausea, weakness, loss of weight and so on. Seven patients (38.9%) had single lesion of pancreas, while 11 patients (66.1%) had multiple lesions of pancreas. Nine patients (50%) had other organs metastasis besides pancreatic metastasis at the same time. Five patients underwent pancreatic metastasis resection, while 15 patients received oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI). The mean follow-up was 171.7 months(1~361.5 months) and 5 patients died. The median overall survival (mOS) was 122 months, and the 5 year-survival rate was 81.4%. In univariate analysis, synchronous metastasis to the pancreas, relapse after 10 years, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center prognostic index, International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium index were all significant parameters for patients'survival. Metastasis to the pancreas from clear cell renal cell carcinoma were rare. These patients had better survival outcomes, especially those relapsing after ten years. Pancreatic metastasis resection had no significant benefit on patient's survival.
