Treatment of borderline resectable (BR) and locally advanced (LA) pancreatic cancer in the era of FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel: A multi-institutional study.
2016
451 Background: FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine+nab-Paclitaxel (Gem/nPac) has superior overall survival (OS) compared with gemcitabine alone in pts with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer (PC). Based on these results, FOLFIRINOX or Gem/nPac has been utilized in neoadjuvant (NA) setting for BR and LA PC. This report describes our multi-institutional experience with NA treatment with FOLFIRINOX or Gem/nPac followed by surgical resection. Methods: Pts with BR and LA PC who received NA FOLFIRINOX or Gem/nPac and underwent surgical resection between 2011 and 2015 at 7 high volume pancreas centers were reviewed. Pre-operative chemoradiation therapy (pCXRT) was administered selectively based on radiographic response (RR). Near-complete (minimal residual disease) or complete pathologic response (PR) was categorized as marked PR. Results: 86 pts received either NA FOLFIRINOX (69%) or Gem/nPac therapy (31%) for BR (67%), LA (32%) PC. pCXRT was administered in 71% of pts. Pts received a median of 4 cycles of FOLFIRINOX (range 1-28...
