ObjectiveTo analyze prognostic factors influencing pancreatic cancer survival following curative resection, using prospectively collected, population-based data.Summary Background DataSeveral studies have analyzed the determinants of long-term survival in postresection pancreatic cancer patients, but the majority of these have been single-institutional chart reviews yielding inconsistent results.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study examined 396 Medicare-eligible patients over age 65 who were diagnosed with nonmetastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and who underwent surgical resection with curative intent while residing in one of the 11 Survival, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries between January 1991 and December 1996. Linked Medicare data provided information on treatment and comorbidity, while linked census tract data supplied sociodemographic characteristics.ResultsMedian survival for the overall study population was 17.6 months, with 1- and 3-year survival rates of 60.1% and 34.3%, respectively. Survival appears to be gradually improving over time, concomitant with a rise in the proportion of patients undergoing surgery in teaching centers. Prognostic variables significantly diminishing survival on univariate analysis included African American race, treatment not in a teaching hospital, lack of adjuvant chemoradiation therapy, as well as histopathologic factors that included tumor size larger than 2 cm in diameter, moderate to poor histologic grade, and positive lymph node metastases. Higher socioeconomic status was associated both with an increased likelihood of receiving adjuvant therapy and improved overall survival. Multivariate analyses indicated the strongest predictors of survival were adjuvant combined chemoradiotherapy, small tumors (
