To determine if SMAD4 expression is associated with recurrence pattern after resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) SMAD4 expression status has been reported to be associated with patterns of failure in PDA, but studies have not examined recurrence patterns after resection. A tissue microarray was constructed including 127 patients with resected PDA and either short (<12 months) or long (>30 months) survival. SMAD4 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and categorized as present or lost in tumor cells. Conventional pathologic features (lymph node metastases, positive resection margin, poor grade, tumor size) were recorded, and disease-specific outcomes (e.g. recurrence pattern and early cancer-specific mortality) determined. Loss of SMAD4 expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma was identified in 40 of 127 patients (32 %). SMAD4 loss occurred in 27% of patients who experienced isolated local recurrence, 33% of patients with a distant recurrence, 33% of patients who recurred locally and at distant sites, and 25% of patients who were without evidence of recurrence (Fisher's exact, p=0.9). In a multivariate analysis, the presence of regional lymph node metastases was the only factor associated with the development of distant metastases (odds ratio, OR=4.7, p=0.02). SMAD4 was neither associated with recurrence pattern (OR=0.9, p=0.9), nor early death (OR=0.5, p=0.15). Primary tumor SMAD4 expression status was not a predictor of recurrence pattern in a large cohort of patients with resected PDA.
