Background/PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess whether the duration of adjuvant gemcitabine plus S‐1 (GS) chemotherapy has any effect on survival in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).MethodsOf the 290 patients who received adjuvant GS chemotherapy, 100 (34%) received the standard duration (20‐29 weeks) and 190 (66%) received an extended duration (≥30 weeks). To reduce selection bias, the prognostic impact (recurrence‐free survival [RFS] and overall survival [OS]) based on the duration of adjuvant GS chemotherapy was analyzed using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Moreover, to reduce immortal time bias, time‐dependent multivariate analyses in which implementation of adjuvant GS chemotherapy was treated as time‐varying covariate was also performed.ResultsExtended duration of adjuvant GS chemotherapy was significantly correlated with prolonged RFS (P< .001) and OS (P< .001) after IPTW adjustment. Time‐dependent multivariate analyses revealed that extended duration of adjuvant GS chemotherapy was an independent prognostic factor for prolonged RFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.58,P= .002) and OS (HR, 0.56,P= .005).ConclusionExtended duration (≥30 weeks) of adjuvant GS chemotherapy in patients with PDAC was associated with an improved prognosis. These findings warrant a further prospective trial on PDAC to investigate the survival benefit of extended adjuvant chemotherapy.
