Abstract
Background
Ampullary carcinoma (AC) is a rare and severe gastrointestinal cancer with a disease recurrence rate of around 40% after curative-intent surgery and for which the main prognostic factors and adjuvant treatment decision remain a matter of debate.
Patients and methods
The FFCD-AC cohort is a French nationwide prospective cohort, which included patients with non-metastatic resected AC. The primary objective of this study was to describe prognostic factors associated with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) so as to propose a user-friendly score to better estimate the risk of recurrence. The secondary objective was to study the benefit of adjuvant therapy in terms of DFS and OS.
Results
Three hundred and seventy patients with resected AC were included. Median follow-up was 40.6 months. Median age was 68.5 years (32.0-87.0 years), 53.8% of patients were male and 56.1%/37.4%/6.5% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0/1/2, respectively. Pathological subtype was intestinal/pancreatobiliary/mixed-undetermined in 29.5%/40.5%/30.0% of patients, respectively. Adjuvant chemotherapy was carried out in 61% of patients. In multivariable analysis, stage III tumor [hazard ratio (HR) 2.86, (95% confidence interval {95% CI}: 1.89-4.17), P < 0.0001], high tumor grade [HR 2.51, (95% CI: 1.42-4.43), P = 0.002] and non-intestinal subtype [HR 1.58, (95% CI: 1.00-2.49), P = 0.052] were associated with shorter DFS. A score based on these three parameters divided patients into low (n = 83), intermediate (n = 133) and high risk (n = 96) with median DFS not reached (NR)/73.1/15.2 months and a median OS NR/86.1/38.2 months, respectively. After propensity score matching, adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with longer DFS [HR 0.57, (95% CI: 0.45-0.72), P < 0.0001] in the cohort.
Conclusion
Our integrated score based on three easy-to-collect items—lymph node invasion, tumor grade and non-intestinal subtypes—seems highly prognostic in resected AC and needs to be confirmed in an external validation dataset to help adjuvant treatment decision making.
