Prognostic impact of lymph node status in patients after total pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: A strobe-compliant study
The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for staging and impact of nodal status on survival following total pancreatectomy (TP) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of different lymph node status after TP for PDAC...

description | The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for staging and impact of nodal status on survival following total pancreatectomy (TP) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of different lymph node status after TP for PDAC. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients who underwent TP for PDAC from 2004 to 2015. We calculated overall survival (OS) of these patients using Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards model. Overall, 1291 patients were included in the study, with 869 node-positive patients (49.5%). A cut-off points analysis revealed that 19, 19, and 13 lymph nodes best discriminated OS for all patients, node-negative patients, and node-positive patients, respectively. Higher number of ELN than the corresponding cut-off points was an independent predictor for better prognosis [all patients: hazard ratios (HR) 0.786, P = .002; node-negative patients: HR 0.714, P = .043; node-positive patients: HR 0.678, P < .001]. For node-positive patients, 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes (PLN) correlated independently with better survival compared with those with 4 or more PLN (HR 1.433, P = .002). Moreover, when analyzed in node-positive patients with less than 13 ELN, neither the number of PLN nor lymph node ratio (LNR) was associated with survival. However, when limited node-positive patients with at least 13 ELN, univariate analyses showed that both the number of PLN and LNR were associated with survival, whereas multivariate analyses demonstrated that only number of PLN was consistently associated with survival (HR 1.556, P = .004). Evaluation at least 19 lymph nodes should be considered as quality metric of surgery in patients who underwent TP for PDAC. For node-negative patients, a minimal number of 19 lymph nodes is adequate to avoid stage migration. For node-positive patients, PLN is superior to LNR in predicting survival after TP, predominantly for those with high number of ELN. |
