Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with normal carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels can have early-stage cancer or advanced cancer without elevation of CA19-9 level; estimating their malignant potential is difficult. This study investigated the clinical utility of the combined use of preoperative CA 19-9 and Duke pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 (DUPAN-2) levels in patients with PDAC.
Patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for PDAC between November 2005 and December 2021 were investigated. Eligible patients were classified into four groups based on these two markers. Among patients with normal CA19-9 levels, those with normal and high DUPAN-2 levels were classified into normal/normal (N/N) and normal/high (N/H) groups, respectively. Among patients with high CA19-9 levels, those with normal and high DUPAN-2 levels were classified into high/normal (H/N) and high/high (H/H) groups, respectively. Survival rates were compared between the groups.
Among 521 patients, the N/N, N/H, H/N, and H/H groups accounted for 25.0%, 10.6%, 35.1%, and 29.4% of patients, respectively. The proportions of resectable PDAC in the N/N and H/N groups (71.5% and 66.7%) were significantly higher than those in the N/H and H/H groups (49.1% and 54.9%) (P < 0.01). The 5-year survival rates in the N/N, N/H, H/N, and H/H groups were 66.0%, 31.1%, 34.9%, and 29.7%, respectively; the rate in the N/N group was significantly better than those in the other three groups (P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.0001, respectively).
Only patients with normal CA19-9 and DUPNA-2 values should be diagnosed with early-stage PDAC.
糖类抗原(CA)19-9水平正常的胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)患者可能患有早期癌症或CA19-9水平未升高的晚期癌症;评估其恶性潜能较为困难。本研究探讨了术前CA 19-9和杜克胰腺单克隆抗原2型(DUPAN-2)水平联合应用于PDAC患者的临床效用。
对2005年11月至2021年12月期间接受PDAC根治性手术的患者进行调查。符合条件的患者根据这两种标志物分为四组。在CA19-9水平正常的患者中,DUPAN-2水平正常和高的患者分别分为正常/正常(N/N)组和正常/高(N/H)组。在CA19-9水平高的患者中,DUPAN-2水平正常和高的患者分别分为高/正常(H/N)组和高/高(H/H)组。比较各组的生存率。
在521例患者中,N/N、N/H、H/N和H/H组分别占患者的25.0%、10.6%、35.1%和29.4%。N/N组和H/N组可切除PDAC的比例(71.5%和66.7%)显著高于N/H组和H/H组(49.1%和54.9%)(P<0.01)。N/N、N/H、H/N和H/H组的5年生存率分别为66.0%、31.1%、34.9%和29.7%;N/N组的生存率显著优于其他三组(分别为P<0.0001、P<0.0001和P<0.0001)。
只有CA19-9和DUPNA-2值正常的患者才能被诊断为早期PDAC。
