Prognostic Factors in Patients with Pancreatic Carcinoma
Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the major prognostic factors in patients with pancreatic carcinoma.Methods: 113 cases of a particular disease were retrospectively analysed and 9 factors for prognosis were studied by multivaritate analysis with Cox proportional hazards survival model. Survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimation. Results:In this group,survival time was 0.1 to 82 months,and the median survival time was 3 months. Overall survival rates at month 6,12,18,36 were 35.6%, 20.3%, 15.9% and 6.2%, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed significant prognostic factors as follows: jaundice, metastasis, therapy method and synthetic therapy. Conclusion: The prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma is determined by various factors. Jaundice and metastasis are independent predictors of poor survival. Radical operation and synthetic therapy will improve the prognosis.
