ABSTRACT
The significance of peri-neural invasion (PNI) in patients with gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after curative surgery remains unknown. Current study was performed to evaluate the significance of PNI in resected GBC patients in terms of tumor-related biological features and long-term survival. Patients with GBC between September 2010 and September 2020 were reviewed and analyzed. SPSS 25.0 software were used for statistical analysis. A total of 324 resected GBC patients were identified (No. PNI 64). An elevated preoperative Ca19.9 level (P = 0.001), obstructive jaundice (P = 0.001), liver invasion (P < 0.0001), lymph-vascular invasion (P < 0.0001), lymph-node metastasis (P < 0.0001), and poor or moderate differentiation status (P = 0.036) were more frequently detected in patients with PNI. Major hepatectomy (P = 0.019), bile duct resection (P < 0.0001), combined multi-visceral resections (P = 0.001), and combined major vascular resections and reconstructions (P = 0.002) were also more frequently detected. However, a significantly lower R0 rate (P < 0.0001) was acquired in patients with PNI. Patients with PNI were generally more advanced disease and shared a much worse prognosis even after matching. PNI was an independent prognostic factor of disease-free survival as well as an independent predictor of early recurrence. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy has brought an obvious survival benefit in resected GBC patients with PNI. PNI could be regarded as an indicator of worse prognosis and could serve as an independent predictor of early recurrence. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was correlated with an improved survival for resected GBC patients with PNI. Upcoming multicenter studies covering various races are warranted for further validation.
