Survival outcomes of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm (PanIN) versus intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) associated pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Abstract

766 Background: Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasms (PanINs) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are common pancreatic adenocarcinoma precursor lesions. However, data regarding their respective associations with prognosis is lacking. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma cases at the KU Cancer Center between Aug 2009 and March 2019. Patients were divided into either one of two groups, PanIN or IPMN, based on the results of the surgical path report. We compared baseline characteristics, overall and progression free survival between the two groups, as well as OS and PFS based on local or distant tumor recurrence. Results: 52 patients had PanIN and 20 patients had IPMN. Demographic and baseline characteristics are as follows (PanIN/IPMN): Median age 62.5/69; Gender (male) 63%/65%; ECOG status (0-1) 98%/85%; pancreatic head tumors 87%/70%; pancreatic body tumors 6%/15%; pancreatic tail tumors 7%/15%; Abnormal CA19-9 at diagnosis 79%/67%; Comorbidity Index 5/5 respectively. Median PFS was 26.2 months (95% CI: 21.4-31.0) for PanIN and 74.3 months (95% CI: 15.7-132.9) for IPMN [p = 0.004]. Median OS was 70.3 months (95% CI: 35.4-105.2) for PanIN and 78.8 months (95% CI: 33.2-124.4) for IPMN [p = 0.013]. Within the PanIN group, median OS after recurrence was 71.3 months (95% CI: 68.8.-73.4) for local recurrence and 46.7 months (95% CI: 39.2-54.2) for distant recurrence [p = 0.330]. Conclusions: Patients who had a IPMN associated pancreatic cancer had better PFS and OS when compared to patients with PanIN associated pancreatic cancer. In patients with PanIN associated cancer that recurred, OS was better with local recurrence compared to distant recurrence but did not meet statistical significance. The results need to be validated in a larger cohort. [Table: see text]
