Pancreatic Cancer: An Imminent Threat Incidence: 11.7 per 100,000 Rising incidence 6.7% increase 1995 2005 Lifetime risk: 1.41% 1 in 71 Americans will be diagnosed w/ PC Matrisian, Cancer Res, 2014 SEER, 2009
6
Pancreatic Cancer: Challenges Stage for stage, pancreatic cancer is associated with the lowest survival rates of any major cancer type The vast majority of patients are inoperable at the time of diagnosis Pancreatic cancer is inherently resistant to most currently available therapies Many patients suffer from rapidly declining performance scores Compared with other cancer types, research funding for pancreatic cancer is disproportionately low given its mortality rate
7
Predisposing Factors Age (average age 70-80s) Smoking Chronic pancreatitis Obesity Diabetes mellitus Familial syndromes
8
Familial Syndromes Hereditary Breast and Ovarian cancer Peutz-Jeghers Familial atypical multiple mole melanoma Lynch syndrome Hereditary pancreatitis

Presentation Abdominal pain Jaundice (often painless) Weight loss New onset diabetes mellitus Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency (diarrhea, floating/fatty stools)

Case 76 yr female presented with upper abdominal pain Developed anorexia, 14 lb weight loss/2 mths Jaundice developed U/S- intra and extra hepatic biliary ductal dilitation CT- 2.4cm pancreatic head mass, 18mm CBD, dilated pancreatic duct
13
Diagnosis FNA of the primary mass or distant metastases ERCP with stent and brushings/biopsy FNA of the primary with EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) EUS is also useful for staging, invasion into surrounding vessels (SMA, SMV) Determination of resectability

TNM Staging (AJCC 2002) Primary Tumor (T) TXPrimary tumor cannot be assessed T0No evidence of primary tumor TisCarcinoma in situ (also PanIN 3) T1Tumor limited to pancreas, <=2cm T2Tumor limited to pancreas, >2cm T3Tumor extends beyond pancreas w/o involvement of celiac axis or SMA T4Tumor invades celiac axis or SMA Regional Lymph Nodes (N) NXRegional lymph nodes cannot be assessed N0No regional lymph node metastases N1Regional lymph node metastases Distant Metastasis (M) MXDistant metastasis cannot be assessed M0No distant metastasis M1Distant metastasis Stage Grouping Stage 0 Tis N0 M0 Stage IA T1 N0 M0 Stage IB T2 N0 M0 Stage IIA T3 N0 M0 Stage IIB T1 N1 M0 T2 N1 M0 T2 N1 M0 T3 N1 M0 T3 N1 M0 Stage III T4 Any N M0 Stage IV Any T Any N M1
19
Staging: Patients Often Staged Clinically, Not by TNM Classification Resectable Absence of extrapancreatic disease, no evidence of direct tumor extension to the SMA or celiac axis (presence of fat plane between the tumor and these vessels), patent PV (Borderline resectable) Absence of extrapancreatic disease, SMA encasement < 180 o SMV/portal impingement, short segment SMV occlusion, celiac encasement < 180 o, abutment/encasement of hepatic artery Locally advanced/unresectable Absence of extrapancreatic disease, SMA encasement > 180 o, unreconstructable SMV/portal vein occlusion; any celiac abutment or celiac encasement > 180 o, aortic invasion or encasement, lymph node metastases beyond field of resection Metastatic Liver being the most common site for distant disease

22
Why is pancreatic cancer so hard to treat?
23
Factors to Overcome No adequate screening test High incidence of metastatic disease at presentation Fulminant clinical course Lack of adequate systemic therapies Chemotherapy resistant Radiation resistant Lack of understanding of the biology
24
Resectable Disease
25
Resectable Borderline Resectable Locally Advanced PV SMV SMA
26
Kitts 527268 Resectable tumor, RRHA SMV SMA T Resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head
27
Resectable : likely to require venous resection SMV SMA
28
Surgery (tumors of head or neck) Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple) Operative mortality <2-3% in major surgical centers
29
Surgery (tumors of body or tail) Often present late with larger tumors and frequent metastases Distal pancreatectomy +/- splenectomy
30
Poor survival even after surgery Even without clinical evidence of metastasis, 5y survival after resection is poor Mostly due to metastatic disease Agarwal et al., Pancreas 2008
31
Adjuvant Therapy
32
Adjuvant therapy Rationale: High risk of local and systemic recurrence Overall poor prognosis 5-yr survival after resection: 25% node-neg vs. 10% node-pos Current standard: No universally accepted standard approach
33
Adjuvant therapy 5 major randomized trials Over 1200 patients studied Significant methodological differences Chemoradiotherapy in N. America (GITSG, RTOG) Chemotherapy alone in Europe (EORTC,ESPAC-1, CONKO)
34
Adjuvant 5-FU–Based ChemoXRT in Pancreatic Cancer Median survival: 20 vs 11 months (P =.03) 2-year survival 43% vs 18% (4000 cGy XRT in split- course with concurrent 5-FU, followed by weekly 5-FU x 2 years) Kalser MH, et al.

37
Neoadjuvant Therapy
38
Rationale for Neoadjuvant therapy Intact vasculature permits maintenance of oxygenation in tissue necessary for radiation-induced necrosis Improved delivery of chemotherapy to tumor May downstage tumor 20-30% of resected patients are unable to receive adjuvant therapy Saves patients with occult metastases from morbidity of unnecessary surgery
39
Neoadjuvant therapy No randomized studies comparing to adjuvant Small, Phase II, mostly single instituiton 5-fu and Gemcitabine chemoradiation have been studied Neoadjuvant chemoradiation can be given safely without excess surgical morbidity

Preoperative Therapy R1 Resection YES13% NO19% The Importance of Neoadjuvant Therapy Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Ductal Adenocarcinoma M D Anderson (N = 360) Raut, Ann Surg 2007;246:52-60
41
Surgery Summary Local tumor resectability is best determined by EUS and high quality CT Resectable tumors may be treated with upfront surgery or a neoadjuvant approach Locally advanced tumors, as defined by arterial encasement, are not resectable and surgery is not a realistic treatment option
42
Locally Advanced, Unresectable Disease
43
Locally Advanced (Stage III) SMV SMA
44
Locally advanced, unresectable 30% of newly diagnosed patients Most with adherence to adjacent structures (celiac or SM vessels) Median survival 8-12 mos Optimal treatment is controversial Treatment options: RT alone Chemotherapy alone Concurrent chemoradiation
45
Chemoradiation > RT alone 1696 patients treated between 1991-96 Adjusted mean survival duration (weeks): Chemoradiation47 RT alone29 Chemo alone27 No therapy15 Supports the use of chemoradiation over either modality alone Krzyzanowska, JCO 2003
46
Treatment of Metastatic Disease
47
Efficacy endpoints Traditional tumor measurements to assess RR are often inadequate in the primary tumor site. Characteristic desmoplastic reaction and inflammatory response Recent trials have included QOL endpoints “Clinical benefit” and survival may be more accurate determinants of efficacy.
48
Fluorouracil (5-FU) Extensively studied since 1950’s 5-fu (infusional and bolus) RR 0- 9%OS 10-24 wks Capecitabine Phase II study, 42 patients Chemotherapy-naive 24% achieved clinical benefit (pain intensity, analgesic use, KPS) 7% RR Well tolerated, 17% Gr 3 Side effects Cartwright, JCO 2002

59
FOLFIRINOX: Take-Home Messages Markedly positive survival results; exceed those seen in any previous randomized phase III trial in advanced PDAC—close to 1 year! New gold standard for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer (for patients with good performance score)
60
Targeted Therapy
61
Erlotinib - Targeted Agent Approved for Pancreatic Cancer
62
Gemcitabine + Erlotinib Expression of EGFR is common, poor prognosis Phase III study 569 patients randomized to: Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 weekly +/- Erlotinib 100mg po daily Few objective responses (8.6 vs. 7.9%) Overall survival 6.2 vs. 5.9 mos favoring combination 1-yr survival 23 vs. 17% (p=.023) FDA approved in 2005 in combination with gemcitabine Moore, JCO 2007
64
Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic cancer remains a clinical challenge Current therapies offer only modest benefits FOLFIRINOX Gemcitabine and Abraxane Gemcitabine Numerous studies incorporating new, targeted agents have offered little/no benefit over Gemcitabine alone.
65
Conclusions Localized disease -> Surgery Most adjuvant therapy -> ChemoXRT Combination chemotherapy and multimodality therapy for earlier stages of disease (locally advanced, resectable) need to be clarified Locally advanced (non-resectable)-> Chemotherapy vs Radiation vs ChemoXRt Chemotherapy options: evolving and improving in advanced pancreatic cancer (eg, FOLFIRINOX) “Targeted” therapeutic agents have been disappointing
66
Conclusions Pancreatic cancer is a horrible disease Median survival less than one year for most Majority found with metastatic disease Surgery is the only treatment that may lead to durable cure at this point in time
