Abstract

Background

To compare perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients receiving pancreatoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma using German Cancer Registry data.

Methods

Anonymized pooled data were retrieved from regional cancer registries participating in the German Cancer Registry Group of the Association of German Tumor Centers. Included were patients diagnosed with pancreatic head adenocarcinoma since 2016, receiving curative intent pancreatoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy. Patients were propensity-score matched according to age, sex, and histopathology. Primary endpoints were 30- and 90-day postoperative mortality. Secondary endpoints were administration of adjuvant chemotherapy, long-term survival, and patterns of cancer recurrence. The data were analyzed using R.

Results

In total, 756 patients per treatment group were matched for further analyses. R0-resection rate was comparable between pancreatoduodenectomy and total pancreatectomy (69.6 vs 73.4%, P = .154). The 30-day (9.5 vs 4.8%, P < .001) and 90-day postoperative mortality (18.0 vs 11.0%, P < .001) rates were significantly lower after pancreatoduodenectomy compared with total pancreatectomy. After pancreatoduodenectomy, more patients received adjuvant chemotherapy (43.6 vs 53.3%, P < .001) and time to adjuvant chemotherapy was shorter (60.1 vs 52.7 days, P = .002) compared with total pancreatectomy. Long-term overall survival was worse after total pancreatectomy (P < .001), also in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (P = .019). The sites of recurrence were comparable between both groups (P = .274).

Conclusion

The results of this study show greater perioperative morbidity and mortality after total pancreatectomy compared with pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic head malignancy. Also, long-term survival was worse after total pancreatectomy. These results emphasize the role of pancreatoduodenectomy as a standard surgical procedure for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma and suggest that total pancreatectomy should only be performed in selected patients.
