The survival impact of palliative radiotherapy on synchronous metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma : metastatic site can serve for radiotherapy-decision

© The author(s)..

Background: The metastatic site seems to represent a malignancy with a different biological characteristic and is an important prognostic factor in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Palliative radiotherapy is a therapeutic option, and usually used for pain management in the treatment of mPDAC. The real-world effect of radiotherapy on the survival outcomes of mPDAC patients might do exist and is worth exploring. Methods: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) was extracted to identify mPDAC diagnosed in the periods of 2010-2016. The statistical methods included Pearson's chi-square test, Log-rank test, Cox regression model and propensity score matching (PSM). Results: Radiotherapy was able to improve the overall survival of PDAC with liver metastasis (p<0.001), but not for PDAC patients with lung (p=0.130), bone (p=0.451) and brain metastasis (p=0.226) before PSM. Radiotherapy can only a prognostic factor for PDAC liver metastasis (p=0.001) in the cox regression analysis. The survival curves provided consistent results with cox regression analysis (PDAC with liver metastasis: p=0.023, PDAC with lung metastasis: p=0.528, PDAC with bone metastasis: p=0.210, PDAC with brain metastasis: p=0.106) after PSM. We continue to divided PDAC liver patients into PDAC-liver-metastasis with and without lung, bone, and/or brain (LBB) metastasis. Finally, radiotherapy can be used as a feasible treatment to prolong the overall survival of patients with PDAC liver metastasis without LBB metastasis. Conclusions: Radiotherapy can be used as a feasible treatment to prolong the overall survival of patients with PDAC liver metastasis without LBB metastasis.
