Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy. Recurrences are very high despite high-quality surgery necessitating adjuvant therapy. The evolution of adjuvant therapy took several decades and gradually evolved from single-agent chemotherapy to multi-agent chemotherapy. The two important agents that are active in pancreatic cancer are 5-fluorouracil and gemcitabine, and with several combinations showing better results in the subsequent trials, the most recent trial PRODIGE 24 shows a median survival of 54.4 months. The role of neoadjuvant therapy is still evolving in resectable cancers. The role of adjuvant radiotherapy is not well defined due to controversial results from historical trials.
胰腺癌是一种侵袭性恶性肿瘤。尽管高质量手术之后仍需要辅助治疗,但复发率依然很高。辅助治疗的发展历经数十年,逐渐从单药化疗发展到多药化疗。在胰腺癌治疗中有效的两种重要药物是5-氟尿嘧啶和吉西他滨,随后的多项试验表明几种联合用药方案效果更佳,最新的PRODIGE 24试验显示中位生存期为54.4个月。新辅助治疗在可切除癌症中的作用仍在不断演变。由于既往试验结果存在争议,辅助放疗的作用尚不明确。
