The majority of patients had tumors >2 cm size (82%), grade I/II (65%), lymphatic invasion (LI) (66%), and negative margins (76%). A survival advantage for adjuvant therapy was observed among all patients, independent of their risk-profile. For example, a patient =65 years of age, with early stage cancer (size =2 cm, grade I/II, -ve LI, -ve margins) who received adjuvant therapy had a 62% probability of being alive beyond three years (95%CI = 59%-66%). In contrast, the survival probability decreased to 53% (95%CI = 59%-66%) without adjuvant therapy. Conclusions: These results provide surgeons and patients with more accurate information regarding long-term survival, as well as the benefit of opting for adjuvant therapy after successful pancreatic surgery.]]> Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:36:57 AEDT ]]>
