Between April 1992 and December 2000, 167 patients with pancreatic carcinoma were evaluated and treated in our department. One hundred eight patients (64.7%) with pancreatic carcinoma underwent pancreatectomy. Of these patients, 94 had histologically proven ductal adenocarcinoma. The overall postoperative mortality rate was 3.2% (3 patients), and the morbidity rate was 35.1% (33 patients). The estimated 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 43.6%, 28.7%, 21.8%, and 12.9%, respectively. There were only six long-term survivors who survived >5 years after surgery. METHODOLOGY AND AIMS: Institutional experience with 94 consecutive patients with ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreatectomy was reviewed to clarify the influence of 29 prognostic factors (5 host, 17 tumor, and 7 treatment factors). Special reference was made to determine whether these significant factors have an effect on long-term survival. Univariate and multivariate models were used to analyze the effect of prognostic factors on survival.
