Abstract 1515P
Background
Systemic chemotherapy is the standard of care for postoperative recurrence of pancreatic cancer (PC); however, it is sometimes considered an indication for surgical resection in cases of pulmonary oligometastases (PO). In this multicentre study, we aimed to compare overall survival (OS) between surgery and chemotherapy as initial treatments for PO.
Methods
This retrospective observational study involving 32 hospitals included patients (pts) who underwent radical pancreatectomy for PC between January 2009 and December 2019 and began treatment for PO by December 2020. In this study, PO was defined as metastases confined to the unilateral lobe without clinical evidence of other recurrences. OS was defined as survival from the treatment initiation for PO to death. Potential baseline confounders (duration between initial pancreatectomy and manifestation of PO (recurrence-free survival [RFS]), cancer antigen (CA) 19-9 level, number of PO, and performance status [PS]) were adjusted with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), and we evaluated the hazard ratio (HR) of OS in pts who underwent surgery (group S) compared with pts who received chemotherapy (group C).
Results
In total, 184 pts were enrolled (107 in group S and 77 in group C). The median RFS, median CA19-9 level, percentage of pts with a single PO lesion, and that of pts with PS of 0 in group S vs. group C were 2.6 vs. 1.4 years, 18.9 vs. 45.7 U/mL, 81.3 vs. 64.9%, and 85.0 vs. 74.0%, respectively. The median OS was 3.6 and 2.0 years in groups S and C, respectively (HR: 0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32–0.65). After adjustment with IPTW, the patient background was well balanced between both groups, and the median OS was 2.9 and 2.1 years in groups S and C, respectively (HR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.42–0.97). In the subgroup of the IPTW-adjusted cohort, RFS ≥1.5 years and tumour diameter ≤2.0 cm were significantly related to a favourable prognosis for surgery (HR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.30–0.96; HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.40–0.98).
Conclusions
Surgery showed more favourable treatment outcomes than chemotherapy as an initial treatment for PO, even after adjustment with IPTW, suggesting that surgery may be a potential initial treatment option.
