Age and prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer: a population-based study

Jelle C. van Dongen et al.

Summary: Younger PDAC patients (<60 years) are more likely to be male, have better performance status, undergo tumor resection, receive chemotherapy, and have a superior overall survival compared to older patients. However, when stratified for treatment, the survival outcomes are largely similar between the two age groups.

Cancer statistics, 2022

Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Gender-specific side effects of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients

Silvia De Francia et al.

Summary: The study found that female patients undergoing chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer are more likely to experience side effects such as alopecia, constipation, hand-foot syndrome, and epigastric pain. Meanwhile, younger patients generally have a reduced risk of toxicity during treatment.

Tumor Location in the Pancreatic Tail Is Associated with Decreased Likelihood of Receiving Chemotherapy for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Justin A. Drake et al.

Summary: Tumor location within the tail is independently associated with not receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with clinical stage I-III pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Increasing the number of patients who receive chemotherapy is necessary due to the marked improvement in overall survival when chemotherapy is administered.

Real-world evidence on first- and second-line palliative chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic cancer

Hakon Blomstrand et al.

Summary: Despite advancements in diagnostics and therapeutics for PDAC, prognosis remains poor. Studies show similar outcomes for first-line multidrug regimens in RCTs and real-life populations, but second-line therapy results are still unfavorable. More research is needed to determine optimal treatment sequences and the importance of biomarkers for personalized management in advanced PDAC.

Treatment and Outcomes of Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer in Elderly Patients

Hyun Ae Jung et al.

Summary: Older patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer are less likely to receive chemotherapy, however, the survival benefit from chemotherapy is comparable to that of younger patients. Further studies are needed to identify which older patients would benefit from cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, Version 2.2021

Margaret A. Tempero et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with a major challenge being advanced disease at diagnosis. While survival rates have not significantly changed, newer treatments, including targeted therapies, offer hope for patients. The manuscript focuses on systemic therapy approaches for locally advanced and metastatic disease.
