Abstract
Background
CA 19–9 is an extremely useful biomarker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). However, the optimal cut-off and prognostic significance at higher cut-offs are yet to be determined.
Methods
Retrospective analysis included patients with PDAC who underwent curative resection from January 2010 to May 2020 at Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai. The pretherapy CA 19–9 was dichotomized using various cut-off levels and analysed.
Results
In 244 included patients, the median overall survival (OS) for those with CA19-9 level (IU/ml) < or >78, 200, 500, 1000, and 2000 was 27, 24, 23, 22, 21 months versus 18, 16, 15, 14, 13 months; respectively, and was statistically significant (p-value- 0.002, 0.001, 0.002, 0.002 and 0.004, respectively). The number of recurrences and mortality had significant correlation with CA 19–9 cut-offs. On multivariate analysis, adjuvant treatment completion (p-0.004) and decreasing or stable CA19-9 after Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) (p- 0.031) were associated with improved OS.
Conclusion
The prognostic significance of CA 19–9 was observed at all the cut-off levels examined, beyond mere elevated value as per the standard cut-off level. In patients with high CA19-9 level, surgery should be offered if technically and conditionally feasible, only when a response in CA19-9 level to NAT is achieved.
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
