    Author: Lan J, Chen Y, Wang S, Zhou Y.
    Journal: Updates Surg; 2020 Sep; 72(3):709-715. PubMed ID: 32495281.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to define the clinical outcome and prognostic determinants of distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) for pancreatic body/tail cancer. A pooled data analysis was performed on individual data for patients who underwent DP-CAR for pancreatic body/tail cancer as identified by systematic literature search. A total of 32 articles involving 109 patients were eligible for inclusion. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were 53% and 4%, respectively. Preoperative abdominal and/or back pain was completely relieved immediately after surgery in 98% of patients. The 1, 3 and 5 years overall survival (OS) rates were 59%, 21% and 10%, and the median OS was 14 months. Patients who received neoadjuvant treatment had a median OS of 23 months. In conclusion, DP-CAR for locally advanced pancreatic body/tail cancer can be performed safely with low mortality and provides survival benefit when combined with neoadjuvant treatment.
