摘要

Background

Only 15% to 20% of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have access to surgical resection, which represents the only chance of curative treatment. Current resection classifications are almost exclusively anatomic and do not correlate sufficiently with patient survival. It is essential to develop preoperative prognostic factors to distinguish patients at high risk of early postoperative recurrence from those who will have prolonged survival after surgery. In some cases, PDACs may present biomolecular differences reflecting their aggressiveness that are not yet assessable by the current clinical-biologic assessment. This study aimed to assess the preoperative prognostic factors that are already available and the future perspectives being developed.

Method

This study reviewed the literature using the PubMed public database for preoperative prognostic factors for resectable PDAC.

Conclusion

Validated preoperative prognostic factors, whether clinical, biologic, radiologic, or histologic, are very important in anticipating the course of each patient’s disease. The identification of potential new prognostic biomarkers such as genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses and the dosage of circulating tumor DNA are very serious avenues to be developed, but the extraction and analysis techniques as well as the interpretation of their results need to be standardized in prospective studies.
