ABSTRACT
Patients with viral hepatitis-related chronic liver disease (CLD) under surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are often diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (PC) at an early stage. However, the long-term outcomes of these patients are unclear. We aimed to clarify the long-term outcomes of patients with PC with viral hepatitis-related CLD using a chart review. Data collection included the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stage at PC diagnosis, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus status, and long-term outcomes. The distribution of the entire cohort (N = 552) was as follows early stage (UICC 0-IB; n = 52, 9.5%) and non-early stages (UICC IIA-IV; n = 500, 90.5%). At diagnosis, the HCC surveillance group (n = 18) had more patients in the early stages than the non-surveillance group (n = 534) (50% vs. 8.0%), leading to a higher indication rate for surgical resection (72.2% vs. 29.8%) and a longer median survival time (19.0 months vs. 9.9 months). We confirmed that patients with viral hepatitis-related CLD under HCC surveillance were diagnosed with PC at an early stage. Because of the higher indication rate for surgical resection in these patients, they had favorable long-term outcomes for PC.
