Retrospective Analysis of Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer have a dismal prognosis, and their management is still an important problem in medical oncology practice. So,in this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical features and survival outcomes in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. A total of 183 pancreatic cancer patients treated between January 1995 and May 2012 at Medical Oncology Department of Uludag University Faculty of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. Demographics, clinical features, treatments and outcome were detect-ed There were 123 male and 60 female patients. The median age of patients was 60 years (range 33-84). One hundred five patients had metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, and the most common metastatic site was liver (90%). Seventy-five patients received gemcita-bine+5-fluorouracil, 42 received gemcitabine, 24 received gemcitabine+cisplatin, and 3 received UFT+cisplatin. Eleven (%6) patients had complete response, 16 (%8.7) had partial response and 18(%9.8) had stable disease. Weight gain was observed in 34 of 145 (%18.6) patients. The median overall survival was 7 months (5-8 months), and there was a positive correlation between weight gain and overall survival (p<0.001).
