Robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery is associated with worse oncologic outcomes for some but not other types of cancers. We conducted a propensity score-matched analysis to compare oncologic outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RPD) vs. open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Treatment-naïve PDAC patients undergoing either RPD or OPD at our hospital between January 2013 and December 2017 were included. Propensity score matching was conducted at a ratio of 1:2. The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).
A total of 672 cases were identified. The propensity score-matched cohort included 105 patients receiving RPD and 210 patients receiving OPD. The 2 groups did not differ in the number of retrieved lymph nodes [11 (7-16) vs. 11 (6-17), P = 0.622] and R0 resection rate (88.6% vs. 89.0%, P = 0.899). There was no statistically significant difference in median DFS (14 [95% CI 11-22] vs. 12 [95% CI 10-14] months (HR 0.94; 95% CI 0.87-1.50; log-rank P = 0.345) and median OS (27 [95% CI 22-35] vs. 20 [95% CI 18-24] months (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.57-1.04; log-rank P = 0.087) between the two groups. Multivariate COX analysis showed that RPD was not an independent predictor of DFS (HR 0.90; 95% CI 0.68-1.19, P = 0.456) or OS (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.57-1.05, P = 0.094).
Comparable DFS and OS were observed between patients receiving RPD and OPD. This preliminary finding requires further confirmation with prospective randomized controlled trials.
机器人辅助微创手术与某些类型的癌症相关,但与其他类型的癌症的肿瘤学结果较差。我们进行了倾向评分匹配分析,以比较机器人辅助腹腔镜(RPD)与开放胰十二指肠切除术(OPD)治疗胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)的肿瘤学结果。
我们纳入了 2013 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间在我院接受 RPD 或 OPD 的治疗初治 PDAC 患者。采用 1:2 的比例进行倾向评分匹配。主要结局是无病生存期(DFS)和总生存期(OS)。
共确定了 672 例患者。在倾向评分匹配队列中,有 105 例患者接受了 RPD 治疗,210 例患者接受了 OPD 治疗。两组淋巴结清扫数量[11(7-16)与 11(6-17),P=0.622]和 R0 切除率(88.6%与 89.0%,P=0.899)无差异。DFS 中位数无统计学差异(14 [95%CI 11-22]与 12 [95%CI 10-14]个月(HR 0.94;95%CI 0.87-1.50;对数秩 P=0.345)和 OS 中位数无统计学差异(27 [95%CI 22-35]与 20 [95%CI 18-24]个月(HR 0.77;95%CI 0.57-1.04;对数秩 P=0.087)。多变量 COX 分析表明,RPD 不是 DFS(HR 0.90;95%CI 0.68-1.19,P=0.456)或 OS(HR 0.77;95%CI 0.57-1.05,P=0.094)的独立预测因子。
接受 RPD 和 OPD 的患者的 DFS 和 OS 相似。这一初步发现需要前瞻性随机对照试验进一步证实。
