Background: In recent years, there has been a shift towards neo-adjuvant treatment (NAT) of non-metastatic pancreas cancer in the hopes of improving negative margin rate, lymph node negativity, recurrence and survival. Even patients deemed resectable based on NCCN criteria are receiving NAT but data for these patients remains limited. This current study evaluated the outcomes of patients diagnosed with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods: Patients were retrospectively identified through the Mayo Clinic, Rochester SPORE pancreatic cancer registry as well as search of the electronic medical record via Advanced Cohort Explorer from May 2011 to 2016. Baseline demographics, tumor characteristics, treatments rendered, and outcomes were collected. Variables were analyzed for association with recurrence from time of surgery and survival from time of diagnosis using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: A total of 520 patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma were identified. 72 patients received upfront chemotherapy with 44 (61.1%) proceeding to surgical resection. 62 patients received upfront chemotherapy followed by radiation with 33 (53.2%) proceeding to surgical resection. 12 patients received upfront radiation alone with 7 (58.3%) proceeding to surgical resection. 374 patients did not receive any NAT with 293 (78.3%) proceeding to surgical resection. In total, 377 (72.5%) went to resection. Median time to recurrence from surgery was 27.7 months vs. 21.7 months for NAT and upfront resection, respectively (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.60-1.72, p = 0.48). Median overall survival from diagnosis for those receiving NAT was 40.6 months vs. 24.7 months for those receiving upfront resection (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.41-0.92, p = 0.02). Conclusions: This study shows an approximate 16 month improvement in overall survival of patients receiving upfront NAT for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This might be due to a better selection of patients. It also highlights that not all patients with resectable cancer undergo resection. Further studies are warranted to identify why resectable patients are not proceeding to resection and which specific NAT approaches benefit patients the most.
