ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) improves the prognosis after pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resection. However, previous studies have shown that a large proportion of patients do not receive or complete AC. This national study examined the risk factors for the omission or interruption of AC.METHODS:
Data of all patients who underwent pancreatic surgery for PDAC in France between January 2012 and December 2017 were extracted from the French National Administrative Database. We considered "omission of adjuvant chemotherapy" (OAC) all patients who failed to receive any course of gemcitabine within 12 postoperative weeks and "interruption of AC" (IAC) was defined as less than 18 courses of AC.RESULTS:
A total of 11 599 patients were included in this study. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was the most common procedure (76.3%), and 31% of the patients experienced major postoperative complications. OACs and IACs affected 42% and 68% of the patients, respectively. Ultimately, only 18.6% of the cohort completed AC. Patients who underwent surgery in a high-volume centers were less affected by postoperative complications, with no impact on the likelihood of receiving AC. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 80 years, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥ 4, and major complications were associated with OAC (OR = 2.19; CI95%[1.79-2.68]; OR = 1.75; CI95%[1.41-2.18] and OR = 2.37; CI95%[2.15-2.62] respectively). Moreover, age ≥ 80 years and CCI 2-3 or ≥ 4 were also independent risk factors for IAC (OR = 1.54, CI95%[1.1-2.15]; OR = 1.43, CI95%[1.21-1.68]; OR = 1.47, CI95%[1.02-2.12], respectively).CONCLUSION:
Sequence surgery followed by chemotherapy is associated with a high dropout rate, especially in octogenarian and comorbid patients.Palavras-chave
