Abstract
INTRODUCTION Risk prediction models to guide patient selection for early pre-emptive endoscopic ultrasound guided coeliac plexus neurolysis are lacking. This study aimed to determine in patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer: (1) opioid burden, (2) the relationship between opioid use and all-cause mortality, (3) risk factors for opioid use, and (4) develop and internally validate a risk prediction model for opioid use at three months. METHODS This was a single-centre retrospective cohort study of patients with confirmed pancreatic cancer. Cox proportional hazard regression estimated the association between opioid use at baseline and all-cause mortality. Logistic regression estimated the associations between clinical and radiological variables with opioid use by three months. Two risk prediction models were developed for opioid use (clinical and clinical-radiological). Model discrimination and calibration was assessed. RESULTS In total, 383 patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer were included. Prevalence of pain ranged between 37% and 47% at three monthly intervals in the first year of diagnosis. Opioid use at baseline was associated with poorer survival. Age, pain at presentation, performance status, tumour distance from the right ganglion, the anterior-posterior and the latero-lateral tumour dimensions were independent risk factors for the opioid use at three months. The Area Under Curve (AUC) for the clinical and clinical-radiological models was 0.81 and 0.84, respectively. Models were well calibrated. CONCLUSIONS Opioid use is prevalent in patients with pancreatic cancer, associated with poor prognosis, and can be predicted based on clinical and radiological variables. External validation of this predictive model is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis for patients with pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. The diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma at an early stage is uncommon. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with pathologically proven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma following surgical resection and their actual 5 year survival rates, especially for those with T1 and T2 early stage cancer. METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed for 433 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent resection at Samsung medical center between May 1995 and December 2010. The actual 5 year survival rates and prognostic factors were analyzed. RESULTS Multivariate analysis showed that positive resection margin, poor differentiation, large tumor size, large amount of blood loss, and T3/T4 were independent prognostic factors on overall survival. The median survival for T1/T2 stage was 71.7 months compared to 16.1 months for those with T3/T4 stage. The actual 5 year survival rates for T1/T2 and T3/T4 stages were 66.7% and 18.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS T stage is one of the strongest independent prognostic factor for overall survival of patients with pancreatic cancer. T1/T2 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma showed good survival outcome. Therefore, additional efforts are needed to improve the screening for early detection.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal of all types of cancer, with the 5-year survival rate ranging only at 6–7%. The aberrant glucose metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells, and as a branch of glucose metabolism, hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) has been reported to play a critical role in the insulin resistance and progression of cancer. Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the HBP; nevertheless, the prognostic value of GFAT1 in pancreatic cancer remains elusive. In this study, we found that the expression of GFAT1 was increased in pancreatic cancer samples compared to peri-tumor tissues. High expression of GFAT1 was positively associated with lymph node metastasis, pTNM stage and shorter overall survival (OS) in pancreatic cancer patients. GFAT1 was identified as an independent prognosticator for OS, and combining GFAT1 expression with pTNM stage generated a predictive nomogram, which showed better prognostic efficiency for OS in patients with pancreatic cancer. In summary, high GFAT1 expression is identified as an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcome in our small number of pancreatic cancer patients, and the practical prognostic nomogram model may help clinicians in decision making and the design of clinical studies.
