Periampullary adenocarcinoma (PAC) is stratified anatomically: ampullary (AA), distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC), duodenal (DA), and pancreatic ductal (PDAC). We aimed to determine differences in incidence, prognosis, treatment stage-matched PAC patients a longitudinal study.PAC were identified The National Cancer Database from 2004 2012. Clinicopathological variables compared between subtypes. Covariate-adjusted use OS compared.The 116 705 with identified: 1320 (9%) AA, 3732 (3%) DCC, 7142...

Fragmented cancer care (FC), or received from multiple institutions, increases systemic health costs and potentiates disparities. There is a paucity of data on mechanisms contributing to FC the resulting effect patient outcomes. This study characterized patient- hospital-level factors associated with FC, time treatment (TTT), overall survival (OS) in patients hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Patients newly diagnosed HCC 2004 2015 receiving were identified Texas Cancer Registry.

Background: Despite an increasing burden of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), limited data are available comparing outcomes NASH-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) versus other etiologies. Methods: Patient demographic and tumor characteristics were collected for 1,051 patients diagnosed with NASH-, alcohol-related liver disease (ALD)–, hepatitis C virus (HCV)–, B (HBV)–related HCC at 2 large health systems from January 2008 through December 2016. demographics, clinical...

Background A paucity of data exists regarding the natural history and outcome measures adenosquamous carcinoma pancreas (ASCP), a histology distinct from pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aim this study is to characterize clinicopathological features ASCP in large cohort patients comparing surgically resected PDAC. Methods We identified diagnosed with or PDAC National Cancer Database 2004 2012. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment regimens, overall survival were...

701 Background: Treatment paradigms are shifting toward neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for resectable (R) and borderline (BR) pancreatic cancer (PC) based on the rationale of treating occult metastatic disease, potentially downstaging patients (pts) to resectability if anatomically unresectable and, most importantly, selection biology pts likely benefit from morbid surgery. While benefits NAT PC have been well described, what remains underreported true attrition rates underlying reasons failure...
