Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a comprehensive assessment of long-term quality of life (QOL) and gastrointestinal (GI) function in patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Survival after PD has greatly improved and thus has resulted in a larger population of survivors, yet long-term QOL and GI function after PD is largely unknown. METHODS Patients were identified from a global online support group. QOL was measured using the Short Form-36, while GI function was assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale. QOL and GI function were analyzed across subgroups based on time after PD. QOL was compared with preoperative measurements and with established values of a general healthy population (GHP). Multivariate linear regression was used to identify predictors of QOL. RESULTS Of the 7605 members of the online support group, 1102 responded to the questionnaire with 927 responders meeting inclusion criteria. Seven hundred seventeen (77.3%) of these responders underwent PD for malignancy. Mean age was 57 ± 12 years and 327 (35%) were male. At the time of survey, patients were 2.0 (0.7, 4.3) years out from surgery, with a maximum 30.7-year response following PD. Emotional and physical domains of QOL improved with time and surpassed preoperative levels between 6 months and 1 year after PD (both P < 0.001). Each GI symptom worsened over time (all P < 0.001). Independent predictors of general QOL in long-term survivors (> 5 years) included total GSRS score [β = -1.70 (-1.91, -1.50)], female sex [β = 3.58 (0.67, 6.46)], and being a cancer survivor [β = 3.93 (0.60, 7.25)]. CONCLUSIONS Long-term QOL following PD improves over time, however never approaches that of a GHP. GI dysfunction persists in long-term survivors and is an independent predictor of poor QOL. Long-term physical, psychosocial, and GI functional support after PD is encouraged.

Resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma neo-adjuvant FOLF(IRIN)OX-based chemotherapy - a multicenter, non-comparative, randomized, phase II trial (PANACHE01-PRODIGE48 study). BMC Cancer 2018; 18:762. [PMID: 30041614 PMCID: PMC6057099 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-018-4663-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 60] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2018] [Accepted: 07/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND At time of diagnosis, less than 10% of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are considered to be immediately operable (i.e. resectable). Considering their poor overall survival (OS), only tumours without vascular invasion (NCCN 2017) should be considered for resection, i.e. those for which resection with disease-free margins (R0) is theoretically possible in absence of presurgery treatment. With regard to high R1 rates and undetectable locoregional and/or metastatic spreading prior to surgery explain (at least in part) the observed 1-year relapse and mortality rates of 50 and 25%, respectively. Today, upfront surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is the reference treatment in Europe. The main limitation of the adjuvant approach is the low rate of completion of the full therapeutic sequence. Indeed, only 47 to 60% patients received any adjuvant therapy after resection compared to more than 75% for neoadjuvant therapy. No previous prospective study has compared this approach to a neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOX chemotherapy for resectable PDAC. METHODS PANACHE01-PRODIGE48 is a prospective multicentre controlled randomized non comparative Phase II trial, evaluating the safety and efficacy of two regimens of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (4 cycles of mFOLFIRINOX or FOLFOX) relative to the current reference treatment (surgery and then adjuvant chemotherapy) in patients with resectable PDAC. The main co-primary endpoints are OS rate at 12 months and the rate of patients undergoing the full therapeutic sequence. DISCUSSION The "ideal" cancer treatment for resectable PDAC would have the following characteristics: administration to the highest possible proportion of patients, ability to identify fast-progressing patients (i.e. poor candidates for surgery), a low rate of R1 resections (through optimisation of local disease control), and an acceptable toxicity profile. The neoadjuvant approach may meet all these criteria. With respect to published data on the efficacy of FOLFOX and mFOLFIRINOX, these two regimens are potential candidates for neoadjuvant use in the aim to optimising oncological outcomes in resectable PDAC.

Abstract
Secretin-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (S-MRCP) provides a non-invasive way, with which, to evaluate pancreatic duct (PD) anatomy and exocrine pancreatic function. S-MRCP can be added to the routine pancreas MR examination in equivocal cases. Moreover, it can detect subtle PD involvement, allowing diagnosis of early, rather than end-stage, pancreatic diseases. Although S-MRCP is a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method, it is only performed in a few centres due to relative high cost. Furthermore, less familiarity with its indications, the examination technique, and image interpretation also contribute to its limited use. Thus, the purpose of this article is to explain secretin's mechanism of action, the examination technique, the clinically relevant indications, the advantages, and limitations. Finally, we will focus on image analysis and its role in achieving an early and accurate diagnosis of specific pancreatic and PD diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide evidence-based recommendations for the management of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) after pancreatic surgery. BACKGROUND EPI is a common complication after pancreatic surgery but there is certain confusion about its frequency, optimal methods of diagnosis, and when and how to treat these patients. METHODS Eighteen multidisciplinary reviewers performed a systematic review on 10 predefined questions following the GRADE methodology. Six external expert referees reviewed the retrieved information. Members from Spanish Association of Pancreatology were invited to suggest modifications and voted for the quantification of agreement. RESULTS These guidelines analyze the definition of EPI after pancreatic surgery, (one question), its frequency after specific techniques and underlying disease (four questions), its clinical consequences (one question), diagnosis (one question), when and how to treat postsurgical EPI (two questions) and its impact on the quality of life (one question). Eleven statements answering those 10 questions were provided: one (9.1%) was rated as a strong recommendation according to GRADE, three (27.3%) as moderate and seven (63.6%) as weak. All statements had strong agreement. CONCLUSIONS EPI is a frequent but under-recognized complication of pancreatic surgery. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the definition, diagnosis, and management of EPI after pancreatic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 1-year disease-related mortality after resection for pancreatic cancer is approximately 30%. This study examined potential preoperative parameters that would help avoid unnecessary surgery. METHODS Among the patients resected at our institution from 1997 to 2006, a total of 228 underwent pancreatic resection for ductal adenocarcinoma. By means of a survival cutoff of 12 months, two groups were created: early death (ED) and long survivors. A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify perioperative predictors of ED. RESULTS Among 228 resected patients, postoperative mortality occurred in four cases (1.8%) that were excluded from the study. In the remaining 224 patients, 43 (19.2%) died of disease within 12 months from surgery (ED), and the remaining 181 (80.8%) had a longer survival. Multivariate analysis selected duration of preoperative symptoms > 40 days, CA 19-9 > 200 U/mL, pathological grading G3-G4, and R2 resection as independent predictors of ED. CONCLUSIONS Duration of symptoms, CA 19-9 serum level, and pathological grading possibly retrieved by endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy can be preoperatively used to identify patients with disease that is not suitable for up-front surgery, even if deemed resectable by high-quality imaging.
