Abstract:
Objective To analyze the results and prognosis for patients with inoperable pancreatic carcinoma treated by interventional chemotherapy (IC) ,three-dimensional radiotherapy (RT), or IC + RT.Methods From 2003 to 2008,139 patients with locally advanced (82 patients, stage Ⅲ) or metastatic (57 patients, stage Ⅳ) pancreatic cancer were retrospectively analyzed, including 74 with pancreatic head carcinoma (53.2%).Three patients with ductal adenocarcinoma were diagnosed with fine-needle aspiration, all other patients were clinically diagnosed with imagings (CT, MRI and/or ultrasonosraphy),clinical symptoms and tumor markers, There were 71,34 and 34 patients receiving IC alone, 3DCRT alone and 3DCRT plus IC, respectively.Log-rank univariate and Cox model multivariate analyses were used to determine prognostic factors.Results The follow-up rate was 92.1%.115 and 98 patients were followedup longer than 1 and 2 years, respectively.The 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 37.1% and 16.3%for all patients, 44% and 20% for patients with locally advanced disease.The corresponding rates were 18% and 5%, 61% and 29% ,48% and 25% (χ2= 14.65,P=0.001) for patients receiving IC alone, RT alone, and IC + RT, respectively.In univariate analysis, staging (χ2= 44.49, P = 0.035), radiotherapy (χ2= 15.32, P = 0.000) and tumor location (χ2= 10.741, P = 0.002) were prognostic factors.In multivariate analysis, tumor location (χ2= 5.00, P = 0.025) and radiotherapy (χ2= 7.93, P = 0.005) were prognostic factors.Conclusions Radiotherapy can improve overall survival among patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer.The effect of RT + IC should be further investigated.
