Abstract
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) requires a multimodal treatment approach. We evaluated the impact of our same-day pancreatic multidisciplinary clinic (PMDC) on genetic testing, ancillary service access, treatment timelines, clinical trial enrollment, and survival.
Methods: We retrospectively compared guideline directed care, clinical metrics and outcomes in patients managed through our PMDC (n = 87; Oct 2021-June 2023) versus an age- and resectability-matched cohort from our internal registry who received standard sequential care non-PMDC (n = 87; Jan-Dec 2020).
Results: PMDC patients were significantly more likely to undergo somatic (OR 3.69, p < 0.001) and germline testing (OR 15.41, p < 0.001), receive upfront access palliative care (OR 7.86, p < 0.001) and social services (OR 4.48, p = 0.028), initiate treatment sooner (14.3 vs. 30.9 days, p = 0.002), and enroll in clinical trials (OR 2.30, p = 0.042). Among newly diagnosed metastatic PC patients, PMDC care was independently associated with improved survival (487 vs. 267 days, p = 0.021).
Conclusion: A same-day PMDC significantly improves access to guideline-recommended care and prolongs survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
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.
