Localized pancreatic cancer with positive peritoneal cytology as a sole manifestation of metastatic disease: a single institution experience
Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer patients with positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) as a sole metastatic site are poorly characterized. Whether they behave similarly to other stage IV patients is unknown. Methods Patients with stage IV disease at our institution between 2003-2013 were identified....

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer patients with positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) as a sole metastatic site are poorly characterized. Whether they behave similarly to other stage IV patients is unknown. Methods Patients with stage IV disease at our institution between 2003-2013 were identified. Inclusion criteria for PPC cohort were PPC at laparoscopy and no laparoscopic/radiographic evidence of metastasis. Patients with gross metastasis had laparoscopic/radiographic evidence of metastasis. Results Among 308 patients, 43 patients had PPC and 265 gross metastasis. PPC cohort: 3 (7%) resectable, 8 (19%) borderline resectable, and 32 (74%) unresectable tumor. Disease progression occurred in 37 (86%). 16/43 (37%) also received local therapy (1 surgery, 15 chemoradiation). PPC vs. gross metastasis cohort differed as follows: baseline Ca 19-9 (440 vs. 1904 IU/mL, p |
