Abstract


Background and Objective:  For inefficiency of chemotherapy and radiation against pancreatic cancer, resection rate for primary unresectable pancreatic cancer remains very low. This study was carried out to evaluate the safety and value of radical resection for unresectable pancreatic cancer (UPC).

Methods:  Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. In unresectable group, 360° resection of the involved artery sheath, resection and reconstruction of the involved artery, resection and reconstruction of the involved vein as well as resection and reconstruction of combined organs were performed. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, ICU transitional treatment, pancreatic fistula, bleeding, reoperation and survival time were analyzed for two groups.

Results:  Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were greatly increased in the unresectable group. The incidence of intractable diarrhea and abdominal hemorrhage in the unresectable group were higher. However, the rate of ICU transitional therapy, delayed gastric emptying and reoperation were lower. Grade-C pancreatic fistula occurred in neither group.

Conclusion:  Surgical treatment through stringent selection for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer is a safer technique and median post-operative survival time is similar to patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.
