Sex differences in solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare tumor. This study aims to examine the clinicopathological features and surgical treatments of SPN and compare the clinical behavior and prognosis between men and women with SPN.

Methods

We collected the population data of patients with SPN diagnosed between 2004 and 2017 from the SEER database. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), and log-rank tests were used to evaluate the differences between subgroups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to screen out prognostic risk factors of SPN.

Results

A total of 378 patients with SPN were included, with 246 (65.1%) female patients. 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall
