Outcome and evaluation of prognostic factors after pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to examine the outcomes and prognostic factors after surgery with curative intent for distal cholangiocarcinoma during a modern timespan, in a Swedish tertiary referral center.MethodsAll patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma between April 2008 and December 2015 were identified. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and histopathological data were evaluated for prognostic factors… Show more

“…Our study revealed a local recurrence rate of 11% after dCCA resection, which is lower than the previously reported rates of 14%–24% (12, 15). It is easier to achieve clear resection margins in patients with dCCA because, in contrast to pCCA, the anatomical structures around the tumor can usually be resected.…”

“…In several earlier studies, lymph node metastases were the most widely reported prognostic factor for dCCA (1216) and that tumor grade and CA19-9 levels were the most common prognostic factors for pCCA (17, 18). Although R0 resection is an important prognostic factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, it appears to have a smaller role in CCA.…”

“…Interestingly, the univariate analysis revealed a statistical significance of surgery-related prognostic factors such as vein resection, which had a statistically significant impact on the long-term survival and surgical complications on the short-term survival in the Kaplan-Meier analysis. This is in concordance with some previous studies, which described a worse prognosis for patients after portal vein resection 36,50,51 , while other studies did not find statistically significant results 1,52 . A limitation for the evaluation of additional vein resection is the small number of patients who could be included, which in our study was only 15.6% of all patients.…”

“…The 3-year survival rate of patients without lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that of patients with lymph node metastasis (66.3% vs 36.1%, p < 0.001). Byrling et al [17] showed that lymph node metastasis was the only independent risk factor for long-term survival of patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma (R = 2.88, p = 0.016). Our research also showed that the long-term prognosis of patients without lymph node metastasis was better than that of patients with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.000).…”
