Concomitant or antecedent intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm is not a prognostic factor in resected pancreatic cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN)-associated pancreatic cancer is becoming a common subtype of pancreatic cancer found in resected specimens. The prognostic of this subtype is still under evaluation. The study aims to evaluate the prognosis of IPMN-associated pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared to the conventional pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Methods

In this study, patients with resected pancreatic neoplasms and IPMN treated at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, from January 2016 to December 2020, were analyzed. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and correlations between the variables of interest and the disease specific OS was assessed by multivariate analysis.

Results
