Abstract
Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the exocrine pancreas. Previous literature has reported dismal survival for these patients. We examined our single-institution experience with this tumor to compare survival for sugical resection and palliative therapy. Records were reviewed for patients with adenosquamous pancreatic cancer evaluated during the years 1985 to 2003. Pathology specimens were reviewed. Survival was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and categorical variables were compared with Chi-square analysis. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Twenty-three patients were identified with adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas. Twelve patients underwent curative resection and 11 patients had either no surgery or a palliative bypass procedure. For the resection group the mean age was 69 years (7 men). In the nonoperative group the mean age was 65 years (6 men). Operative procedures included standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), 4 patients; pyloruspreserving PD, 3 patients; and distal pancreatectomy, 5 patients. Median length of stay was 13.5 days (7-30 d). Morbidity included delayed gastric emptying (4 patients), leak (2 patients), superficial skin infection, abscess, and GI bleed (1 patient each). There w...Continue Reading
