The histopathologic type predicts survival of patients with ampullary carcinoma after resection: A meta-analysis

Objectives The results of studies on the prognostic value of histopathologic differentiation of the intestinal and pancreatobiliary types of ampullary carcinoma after resection are conflicting. A meta-analysis was undertaken to investigate this issue. Methods A systematic literature search was performed to identify articles published from January 2000 to August 2016. Data were pooled for meta-analysis using Review Manager 5.3. Results Twenty three retrospective studies involving a total of 2234 patients were identified for inclusion, of whom 1021 (45.7%) had intestinal type tumors and 899 (40.2%) had pancreaticobiliary type tumors. Patients with the pancreaticobiliary type had high rates of poor tumor differentiation (P< 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P< 0.001), vascular invasion (P< 0.001), perineural invasion (P< 0.001), and positive resection margins (P= 0.004), as compared with those with the intestinal type. The pancreaticobiliary type predicted a worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 1.84, 95% CI 1.49-2.27;P< 0.001) and disease-free survival (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.23-3.01;P= 0.004). Conclusion The histopathologic type has major impact on survival in patients with ampullary carcinoma after resection, and the pancreaticobiliary type reflects a more aggressive tumor biology and is associated with worse survival..
