Abstract 4947
Background
25-hydroxyvitamin D and active analogues have shown to inhibit growth of pancreatic cancer (PC) cell lines. However, studies describing the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D and survival in PC patients have shown conflicting results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between pre-treatment 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and survival in Danish patients with PC.
Methods
In the prospective BIOPAC study (NCT03311776), the pre-treatment serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (S-25(OH)D) concentrations were determined in 1233 patients with PC included from July 2008 to December 2018, using the DiaSorin Liaison 25-hydroxyvitamin D TOTAL assay. Age (median 67 years), gender (male/female: 675/558), BMI (<18.5/18.5-25/>25/unknown: 96/663/356/118), Performance status (PS) (0/1/2 + 3/unknown: 422/498/135/177) and stage (I+II/III+IV/unknown: 408/758/67) were retrieved. Survival was estimated in three S-25(OH)D groups as: insufficient <25 nmol/L, relatively insufficient 25-50 nmol/L and sufficient >50 nmol/L. For survival analysis, Kaplan-Meier plots, log-rank tests and the Cox regression model were used.
Results
Table:
699P
| Stage | I+II | III+IV | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S-25(OH)D levels | Pt, No. | mOS, months | 95%CI | Pt, No. | mOS, months | 95%CI |
| Sufficient | 205 | 26.2 | 21.2-34.1 | 383 | 7.2 | 6.2-8.1 |
| Relatively insufficient | 156 | 22.9 | 18.3-27.8 | 275 | 6.3 | 5.3-7.2 |
| Insufficient | 47 | 15.7 | 11.3-30.2 | 100 | 5.3 | 3.7-6.4 |
Abbreviations: Pt, No.: Patient number, mOS: median overall survival, CI: Confidence interval. Overall survival between the three S-25(OH)D groups in stages I and II, log rank p = 0.03, as well as in stages III and IV, log rank p = 0.02, were significantly different. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, patients with sufficient S-25(OH)D levels had longer survival than those with insufficient levels (HR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.62-0.96; p = 0.02). PS 0 vs. 1 and vs. 2 + 3 (p < 0.01) and tumour stage I+II vs. III+IV (p < 0.01) were also associated with longer survival whereas age, gender and BMI were not.
Conclusions
Patients with PC and sufficient pre-treatment serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels had significantly longer OS than those with insufficient levels across all stages.
