[Five Cases of Ten-Year Survival after Surgical Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer in Yamaguchi Prefecture].

A questionnaire survey was conducted regarding the prognosis for pancreatic cancer at 8 major hospitals in Yamaguchi Prefecture. A total of 552 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent radical surgery between 1997 and 2016 were identified. Five of them survived for more than 10 years. Among the 5 patients, none was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy: 4 underwent PD and 1 underwent DP-CAR. Two of them were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. No complications occurred during their postoperative courses. All of them had no recurrence and survived. Here, we reported the longterm postoperative survival of patients with pancreatic cancer with literature review.
