AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to identify predictors for longterm survival following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic and other periampullary adenocarcinomas.MethodsClinicopathological factors were compared between short-term (<5 years) and longterm (≥5 years) survival groups. Rates of actual 5-year and actuarial 10-year survival were determined.ResultsThere were 109 (21.8%) longterm survivors among a sample of 501 patients. Patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma represented 76.1% of the longterm survivors. Favourable factors for longterm survival included female gender, lack of jaundice, lower blood loss, classical PD, absence of postoperative bleeding or intra-abdominal abscess, non-pancreatic primary cancer, earl...
