Abstract
Objectives: The local renin-angiotensin system promotes angiogenesis and proliferation via vascular endothelial growth factor or epidermal growth factor receptor expression. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of angiotensin system inhibitors (ASIs) on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing surgical resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Methods: A single institutional retrospective analysis was performed using the medical records of patients who underwent pancreatic resection with curative intent for PDAC between January 2005 and December 2018. Patient characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared between patients taking ASIs and those who are not.
Results: A total of 272 patients were included in the study and classified into the ASI group (n = 121) and the non-ASI group (n = 151). The median overall survival times in the ASI group and non-ASI group were 38.0 and 34.0 months ( P = 0.250), and the median recurrence-free survival times were 24.0 and 15.0 months ( P = 0.025), respectively. Multivariate analysis for recurrence-free survival identified the use of ASIs ( P = 0.020), CA19-9 level >500 IU/L ( P = 0.010), positive lymph node metastasis ( P < 0.001), and no adjuvant chemotherapy ( P < 0.001) as independent prognostic factors.
Conclusions: The use of ASI may improve long-term outcomes after surgery for PDAC.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
