Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy for locally unresectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer may allow some patients to a undergo a resection, but whether or not this increases post-operative morbidity remains unclear. Methods: The post-operative morbidity of 29 patients with initially locally unresectable/borderline pancreatic cancer who underwent a resection were compared with 29 patients with initially resectable tumours matched for age, gender, the presence of comorbidities (yes/no), American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, tumour location (head/body-tail), procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy/distal pancreatectomy) and vascular resection (yes /no). Wilcoxon's signed ranks test was used for continuous variables and McNemar's chi-square test for categorical variables. Results: Compared with patients with initially resectable tumours, patients who underwent a resection after pre-operative chemoradiation therapy had similar rates of overall post-operative complications (55% versus 41%, P = 0.42), major complications (21% versus 21%, P = 1), pancreatic leaks and fistulae (7% versus 10%, P = 1) and mortality (0% versus 1.7%, P = 1). Conclusion: Although some previous studies have suggested differences in post-operative morbidity after chemoradiation, our case-matched analysis did not find statistical differences in surgical morbidity and mortality associated with pre-operative chemoradiation therapy.
