Abstract
BACKGROUND Modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) is one of the standard first-line therapies in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC). However, there is no globally accepted second-line therapy following progression on mFOLFIRINOX. METHODS Patients with BRPC and LAPC (n = 647) treated with first-line mFOLFIRINOX between January 2017 and December 2020 were included in this retrospective analysis. The details of the treatment outcomes and patterns of subsequent therapy after mFOLFIRINOX were reviewed. RESULTS With a median follow-up duration of 44.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 42.3-47.6), 322 patients exhibited disease progression on mFOLFIRINOX-locoregional progression only in 177 patients (55.0%) and distant metastasis in 145 patients (45.0%). The locoregional progression group demonstrated significantly longer post-progression survival (PPS) than that of the distant metastasis group (10.1 vs. 7.3 months, p = 0.002). In the locoregional progression group, survival outcomes did not differ between second-line chemoradiation/radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy (progression-free survival with second-line therapy [PFS-2], 3.2 vs. 4.3 months; p = 0.649; PPS, 10.7 vs. 10.2 months; p = 0.791). In patients who received second-line systemic chemotherapy following progression on mFOLFIRINOX (n = 211), gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel was associated with better disease control rates (69.2% vs. 42.3%, p = 0.005) and PFS-2 (3.8 vs. 1.7 months, p = 0.035) than gemcitabine monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS The current study showed the real-world practice pattern of subsequent therapy and clinical outcomes following progression on first-line mFOLFIRINOX in BRPC and LAPC. Further investigation is necessary to establish the optimal therapy after failure of mFOLFIRINOX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of early-stage gallbladder cancer is becoming more important as the rate of early detection is increasing. Although there have been many studies about the clinical implication of the invasion depth or peritoneal/hepatic location of gallbladder cancers, there is no study on the clinical implication of the geometric location of cancer along the longitudinal length of the gallbladder. METHODS The location of gallbladder cancer was defined as the geometric center of the primary site of a tumour, which lies on the longitudinal diameter of the surgical specimens. We compared the oncologic outcomes following surgery between gallbladder cancers located on the fundal end and those located on the cystic ductal end. We also analysed patients with stage 1 gallbladder cancer who recurred after surgery. RESULTS A total of 575 patients with gallbladder cancer were included in this study. Patients with gallbladder cancer on the cystic ductal end had significantly lower rates of recurrence-free survival (P = 0.016) and overall survival (P = 0.023) compared to those with gallbladder cancer on the fundal end. Among 90 patients with stage 1 gallbladder cancer, three patients had a recurrence, all of whom had cystic ductal end gallbladder cancer and showed cystic duct invasion or concomitant xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis in permanent pathology. CONCLUSIONS Gallbladder cancers on the cystic ductal end had worse postoperative oncologic outcomes compared with those on the fundal end.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the perioperative composite textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery after minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD). MATERIALS AND METHODS The cohort study was conducted across 10 institutions and included 1552 patients who underwent MIPD registered with the Korean Study Group on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery between May 2007 and April 2020. We analyzed perioperative textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery after MIPD. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess outcomes based on the hospital volume of MIPD. RESULTS Among all patients, 21.8% underwent robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. High-volume centers (performing >20 MIPD/year) performed 88.1% of the procedures. The incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was 11.5%. Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥IIIa) occurred in 15.1% of the cases. The 90-day mortality rate was 0.8%. The mean hospital stay was 13.7 days. Textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery success were achieved in 60.4% of patients, with higher rates observed in high-volume centers than in low-volume centers (62.2% vs. 44.7%, P<0.001). High-volume centers exhibited significantly lower conversion rates (5.4% vs. 12.5%, P=0.001), lower 90-day mortality (0.5% vs. 2.7%, P=0.001), and lower 90-day readmission rates (4.5% vs. 9.6%, P=0.006) than those low-volume centers. CONCLUSION MIPD could be performed safely with permissible perioperative outcomes, including textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery, particularly in experienced centers. The findings of this study provided valuable insights for guiding surgical treatment decisions in periampullary disease.

Abstract
Postoperative pancreatic fistula is a life-threatening complication with an unmet need for accurate prediction. This study was aimed to develop preoperative artificial intelligence-based prediction models. Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were enrolled and stratified into model development and validation sets by surgery between 2016 and 2017 or in 2018, respectively. Machine learning models based on clinical and body composition data, and deep learning models based on computed tomographic data, were developed, combined by ensemble voting, and final models were selected comparison with earlier model. Among the 1333 participants (training, n = 881; test, n = 452), postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 421 (47.8%) and 134 (31.8%) and clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 59 (6.7%) and 27 (6.0%) participants in the training and test datasets, respectively. In the test dataset, the area under the receiver operating curve [AUC (95% confidence interval)] of the selected preoperative model for predicting all and clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was 0.75 (0.71-0.80) and 0.68 (0.58-0.78). The ensemble model showed better predictive performance than the individual ML and DL models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgically resected grade 1-2 (G1-2) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) exhibit diverse clinical outcomes, highlighting the need for reliable prognostic biomarkers. Our study aimed to develop and validate CT-based radiomics model for predicting postsurgical outcome in patients with G1-2 PanNETs, and to compare its performance with the current clinical staging system. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included patients who underwent dynamic CT and subsequent curative resection for G1-2 PanNETs. A radiomics-based model (R-score) for predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) was developed from a development set (441 patients from one institution) using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-Cox regression analysis. A clinical model (C-model) consisting of age and tumor stage according to the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system was built, and an integrative model combining the C-model and the R-score (CR-model) was developed using multivariable Cox regression analysis. Using an external test set (159 patients from another institution), the models' performance for predicting RFS and overall survival (OS) was evaluated using Harrell's C-index. The incremental value of adding the R-score to the C-model was evaluated using net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). RESULTS The median follow-up periods were 68.3 and 59.7 months in the development and test sets, respectively. In the development set, 58 patients (13.2%) experienced recurrence and 35 (7.9%) died. In the test set, tumors recurred in 14 patients (8.8%) and 12 (7.5%) died. In the test set, the R-score had a C-index of 0.716 for RFS and 0.674 for OS. Compared with the C-model, the CR-model showed higher C-index (RFS, 0.734 vs. 0.662, p = 0.012; OS, 0.781 vs. 0.675, p = 0.043). CR-model also showed improved classification (NRI, 0.330, p < 0.001) and discrimination (IDI, 0.071, p < 0.001) for prediction of 3-year RFS. CONCLUSIONS Our CR-model outperformed the current clinical staging system in prediction of the prognosis for G1-2 PanNETs and added incremental value for predicting postoperative recurrence. The CR-model enables precise identification of high-risk patients, guiding personalized treatment planning to improve outcomes in surgically resected grade 1-2 PanNETs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This meta-analysis investigated the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols compared to conventional care on postoperative outcomes in patients aged 70 years or older undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS Five databases were systematically searched. Comparative studies with available individual patient data (IPD) were included. The main outcomes were postoperative morbidity, length of stay, readmission and postoperative functional recovery elements. To assess an age-dependent effect, the group was divided in septuagenarians (70-79 years) and older patients (≥80 years). RESULTS IPD were obtained from 15 of 31 eligible studies comprising 1109 patients. The overall complication and major complication rates were comparable in both groups (OR 0.92 [95% CI: 0.65-1.29], p = .596 and OR 1.22 [95% CI: 0.61-2.46], p = .508). Length of hospital stay tended to be shorter in the ERAS group compared to the conventional care group (-0.14 days [95% CI: -0.29 to 0.01], p = .071) while readmission rates were comparable and the total length of stay including days in hospital after readmission tended to be shorter in the ERAS group (-0.28 days [95% CI: -0.62 to 0.05], p = .069). In the subgroups, the length of stay was shorter in octogenarians treated with ERAS (-0.36 days [95% CI: -0.71 to -0.004], p = .048). The readmission rate increased slightly but not significantly while the total length of stay was not longer in the ERAS group. CONCLUSION ERAS in the elderly is safe and its benefits are preserved in the care of even in patients older than 80 years. Standardized care protocol should be encouraged in all pancreatic centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most fatal malignancies. Delayed manifestation of symptoms and lack of specific diagnostic markers lead patients being diagnosed with PDAC at advanced stages. This study aimed to develop a circular RNA (circRNA)-based biomarker panel to facilitate noninvasive and early detection of PDAC. METHODS A systematic genome-wide discovery of circRNAs overexpressed in patients with PDAC was conducted. Subsequently, validation of the candidate markers in the primary tumors from patients with PDAC was performed, followed by their translation into a plasma-based liquid biopsy assay by analyzing 2 independent clinical cohorts of patients with PDAC and nondisease controls. The performance of the circRNA panel was assessed in conjunction with the plasma levels of cancer antigen 19-9 for the early detection of PDAC. RESULTS Initially, a panel of 10 circRNA candidates was identified during the discovery phase. Subsequently, the panel was reduced to 5 circRNAs in the liquid biopsy-based assay, which robustly identified patients with PDAC and distinguished between early-stage (stage I/II) and late-stage (stage III/IV) disease. The areas under the curve of this diagnostic panel for the detection of early-stage PDAC were 0.83 and 0.81 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Moreover, when this panel was combined with cancer antigen 19-9 levels, the diagnostic performance for identifying patients with PDAC improved remarkably (area under the curve, 0.94) for patients in the validation cohort. Furthermore, the circRNA panel could also efficiently identify patients with PDAC (area under the curve, 0.85) who were otherwise deemed clinically cancer antigen 19-9-negative (<37 U/mL). CONCLUSIONS A circRNA-based biomarker panel with a robust noninvasive diagnostic potential for identifying patients with early-stage PDAC was developed.

Abstract
Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) is widely performed for adult choledochal cysts. Few articles compared the robotic and laparoscopic approaches for choledochal cysts. Methods: Between 2014 and 2022, 157 patients who underwent MIS for choledochal cysts were retrospectively analyzed. Perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent totally robotic surgery, robot-assisted surgery, and laparoscopic surgery were compared, respectively. Also, postoperative outcomes of patients with robotic reconstruction and laparoscopic reconstruction during HJ were compared. Results: Perioperative outcomes were comparable between robotic and laparoscopic groups. The suturing technique for the anterior and posterior walls of the HJ differed significantly between the robotic and laparoscopic reconstruction groups (P = .001). However, there were no significant differences in postoperative outcomes, including total complications (P = .304), major complications (P = .411), and postoperative interventions (P = .411), between the two groups. Conclusions: The robotic and laparoscopic approaches for adult choledochal cysts have comparable surgical outcomes. In the MIS era, robotic surgery could be an alternative surgical option for adult choledochal cysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared the postoperative outcomes of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) for left-sided pancreatic tumors based on the modified frailty index (mFI). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 2212 patients who underwent MIDP for left-sided pancreatic tumors between 2005 and 2019. Postoperative outcomes, including complications (morbidity and mortality), were analyzed using mFI, and the participants were divided into two groups: frail ( n =79) and nonfrail ( n =2133). A subanalysis of 495 MIDPs for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was conducted to compare oncological outcomes. RESULTS Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was significantly higher in the frail group than in the nonfrail group. A significant between-group difference was observed in overall complications with Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥III. Furthermore, the proportion of all complications before readmission was higher in the frail group than in the nonfrail group. Among all readmitted patients, the frail group had a higher number of grade ≥IV patients requiring ICU treatment. The frail group's 90-day mortality was 1.3%; the difference was statistically significant (nonfrail: 0.3%, P =0.021). In the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, mFI ≥0.27 (odds ratio 3.231, 95% CI: 1.889-5.523, P <0.001), extended pancreatectomy, BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 , male sex, and malignancy were risk factors for Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥III. CONCLUSION mFI is a potential preoperative tool for predicting severe postoperative complications, including mortality, in patients who have undergone MIDP for left-sided tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are no reliable biomarkers to guide treatment for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) in the neoadjuvant setting. We used plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing to search biomarkers for patients with BRPC receiving neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX in our phase 2 clinical trial (NCT02749136). MATERIALS AND METHODS Among the 44 patients enrolled in the trial, patients with plasma ctDNA sequencing at baseline or post-operation were included in this analysis. Plasma cell-free DNA isolation and sequencing were performed using the Guardant 360 assay. Detection of genomic alterations, including DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, were examined for correlations with survival. RESULTS Among the 44 patients, 28 patients had ctDNA sequencing data qualified for the analysis and were included in this study. Among the 25 patients with baseline plasma ctDNA data, 10 patients (40%) had alterations of DDR genes detected at baseline, inclu-ding ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2 and MLH1, and showed significantly better progression-free survival than those without such DDR gene alterations detected (median, 26.6 vs. 13.5 months; log-rank p=0.004). Patients with somatic KRAS mutations detected at baseline (n=6) had significantly worse overall survival (median, 8.5 months vs. not applicable; log-rank p=0.003) than those without. Among 13 patients with post-operative plasma ctDNA data, eight patients (61.5%) had detectable somatic alterations. CONCLUSION Detection of DDR gene mutations from plasma ctDNA at baseline was associated with better survival outcomes of pati-ents with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX and may be a prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Little is known about the features of T1 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its definition in the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system needs validation. The aims were to analyze the clinicopathologic features of T1 PDAC and investigate the validity of its definition. METHOD Data from 1506 patients with confirmed T1 PDAC between 2000 and 2019 were collected and analyzed. The results were validated using 3092 T1 PDAC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. RESULTS The median survival duration of patients was 50 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 45.1%. R0 resection was unachievable in 10.0% of patients, the nodal metastasis rate was 40.0%, and recurrence occurred in 55.2%. The current T1 subcategorization was not feasible for PDAC, tumors with extrapancreatic extension (72.8%) had worse outcomes than those without extrapancreatic extension (median survival 107 vs. 39 months, p < .001). Extrapancreatic extension was an independent prognostic factor whereas the current T1 subcategorization was not. The results of this study were reproducible with data from the SEER database. CONCLUSION Despite its small size, T1 PDAC displayed aggressive behavior warranting active local and systemic treatment. The subcategorization by the eighth edition of the AJCC staging system was not adequate for PDAC, and better subcategorization methods need to be explored. In addition, the role of extrapancreatic extension in the staging system should be reconsidered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This prospective multicenter study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 80-kVp thin-section pancreatic CT in determining pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resectability according to the recent National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. METHODS We prospectively enrolled surgical resection candidates for PDAC from six tertiary referral hospitals (study identifier: NCT03895177). All participants underwent pancreatic CT using 80 kVp tube voltage with 1-mm reconstruction interval. The local resectability was prospectively evaluated using NCCN guidelines at each center and classified into three categories: resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable. RESULTS A total of 138 patients were enrolled; among them, 60 patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy. R0 resection was achieved in 103 patients (74.6%). The R0 resection rates were 88.7% (47/53), 52.4% (11/21), and 0.0% (0/4) for resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable disease, respectively, in 78 patients who underwent upfront surgery. Meanwhile, the rates were 90.9% (20/22), 76.7% (23/30), and 25.0% (2/8) for resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable PDAC, respectively, in patients who received neoadjuvant therapy. The area under curve of high-resolution CT in predicting R0 resection was 0.784, with sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 87.4% (90/103), 48.6% (17/35), and 77.5% (107/138), respectively. Tumor response was significantly associated with the R0 resection after neoadjuvant therapy (odds ratio [OR] = 38.99, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION An 80-kVp thin-section pancreatic CT has excellent diagnostic performance in assessing PDAC resectability, enabling R0 resection rates of 88.7% and 90.9% for patients with resectable PDAC who underwent upfront surgery and patients with resectable PDAC after neoadjuvant therapy, respectively. KEY POINTS • The margin-negative (R0) resection rates were 88.7% (47/53), 52.4% (11/21), and 0.0% (0/4) for resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), respectively, on 80-kVp thin-section pancreatic CT in the 78 patients who underwent upfront surgery. • Among the 60 patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy, the R0 rates were 90.9% (20/22), 76.7% (23/30), and 25.0% (2/8) for resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable PDAC, respectively. • Tumor response, along with the resectability status on pancreatic CT, was significantly associated with the R0 resection rate after neoadjuvant therapy.

Abstract
AIM To investigate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of skull bases involving anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken to identify an institutional historical cohort of 17 patients with confirmed AAV who underwent CT or MRI and had skull base involvement between 2002 and 2021. Two radiologists reviewed the extent and features of the lesions, bone changes, and other MRI findings. RESULTS A total of 17 patients (12 men; mean age ± standard deviation, 46.5 ± 17.1 years) were selected. AAV presented as infiltrative lesions with involvement at various sites. Most cases involved the paranasal sinuses (PNS; 88%, 15/17), nasopharynx (88%, 15/17), pterygopalatine fossa (82%, 14/17), and parapharyngeal space (82%, 14/17), frequently accompanied by mucosal irregularity of the PNS and nasopharynx (71%, 12/17). Central skull base and temporal bone involvement were seen in 53% (9/17) and 38% (6/16) of cases, respectively. On T1-weighted imaging (WI) and T2WI MRI, all lesions (15/15) showed predominant signal iso-intensity to grey matter. CONCLUSIONS Although radiological findings of AAV are non-specific and skull base involvement is less common, AAV may be considered if infiltrative lesions predominantly involving the PNS, nasopharynx, pterygopalatine fossa, and parapharyngeal space with combined bone changes of skull base are seen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and survival benefits of portal vein and/or superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) resection with jejunal vein resection (JVR) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Few studies have shown the surgical outcome and survival of pancreatic resection with JVR, and treatment strategies for patients with PDAC suspected of jejunal vein (JV) infiltration remain unclear. METHODS In total, 1260 patients who underwent pancreatectomy with PV/ SMV resection between 2013 and 2016 at 50 facilities were included; treatment outcomes were compared between the PV/SMV group (PV/ SMV resection without JVR; n = 824), PV/SMV-J1 V group (PV/SMV resection with first jejunal vein resection; n = 394), and PV/SMV-J2,3 V group (PV/SMV resection with second jejunal vein or later branch resection; n = 42). RESULTS Postoperative complications and mortality did not differ between the three groups. The postoperative complication rate associated with PV/ SMV reconstruction was 11.9% in PV/SMV group, 8.6% in PV/SMV-J1 V group, and 7.1% in PV/SMV-J2,3V group; there were no significant differences among the three groups. Overall survival did not differ between PV/SMV and PV/SMV-J1 V groups (median survival; 29.2 vs 30.9 months, P = 0.60). Although PV/SMV-J2,3 V group had significantly shorter survival than PV/SMV group who underwent upfront surgery ( P = 0.05), no significant differences in overall survival of patients who received preoperative therapy. Multivariate survival analysis revealed that adjuvant therapy and R0 resection were independent prognostic factors in all groups. CONCLUSION PV/SMV resection with JVR can be safely performed and may provide satisfactory overall survival with the pre-and postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery is becoming increasingly popular in the field of pancreatic surgery. However, there are few studies of robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of RDP for PDAC. METHODS Patients who underwent RDP or laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) for PDAC between January 2015 and September 2020 were reviewed. Propensity score matching analyses were performed. RESULTS Of the 335 patients included in the study, 24 underwent RDP and 311 underwent LDP. A total of 21 RDP patients were matched 1:1 with LDP patients. RDP was associated with longer operative time (209.7 vs. 163.2 min; P = 0.003), lower open conversion rate (0% vs. 4.8%; P < 0.001), higher cost (15 722 vs. 12 699 dollars; P = 0.003), and a higher rate of achievement of an R0 resection margin (90.5% vs. 61.9%; P = 0.042). However, postoperative pancreatic fistula grade B or C showed no significant inter-group difference (9.5% vs. 9.5%). The median disease-free survival (34.5 vs. 17.3 months; P = 0.588) and overall survival (37.7 vs. 21.9 months; P = 0.171) were comparable between the groups. CONCLUSIONS RDP is associated with longer operative time, a higher cost of surgery, and a higher likelihood of achieving R0 margins than LDP.

Abstract
Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma is defined as a tumor with a mixture of adenocarcinoma components and neuroendocrine neoplasm components. Each of these two components of mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma accounts for at least 30% of all tumors. Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma might be located in the ampulla of Vater, a very rare location compared to other organs. Thus, its treatment and prognosis plans have not been established yet. We report three cases of mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma occurring in the ampulla of Vater. Each patient had a different clinical course. In general, difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, risk of early recurrence, and poor disease course were main hallmarks of mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma arising from the ampulla of Vater. However, one patient in this case report survived although she did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy due to her old age. Therefore, it is important to establish a careful treatment strategy for mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma arising from the ampulla of Vater.

Abstract
Purpose The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy following curative-intent surgery in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients who had received neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX is unclear. This study aimed to assess the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in this patient population. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 218 patients with localized non-metastatic PDAC who received neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and underwent curative-intent surgery (R0 or R1) between January 2017 and December 2020. The association of adjuvant chemotherapy with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated in overall patients and in the propensity score matched (PSM) cohort. Subgroup analysis was conducted according to the pathology-proven lymph node status. Results Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 149 (68.3%) patients. In the overall cohort, the adjuvant chemotherapy group had significantly improved DFS and OS compared to the observation group (DFS: median 13.8 months [95% CI, 11.0-19.1] vs. 8.2 months [95% CI, 6.5-12.0], p<0.001; and OS: median 38.0 months [95% CI, 32.2-not assessable] vs. 25.7 months [95% CI, 18.3-not assessable], p=0.005). In the PSM cohort of 57 matched pairs of patients, DFS and OS were better in the adjuvant chemotherapy group than in the observation group (p<0.001 and p=0.038, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy was a significant favorable prognostic factor (vs observation; DFS, hazard ratio [HR] 0.51 (95% CI, 0.36-0.71, p<0.001); OS, HR 0.45 (95% CI, 0.29-0.71, p<0.001). Conclusion Among PDAC patients who underwent surgery following neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX, adjuvant chemotherapy may be associated with improved survival. Randomized studies should be conducted to validate this finding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute to an impaired functionality of natural killer (NK) cells that have emerged as a promising therapeutic modality. The interaction between CAFs and NK cells within the TME exerts major inhibitory effects on immune responses, indicating CAF-targeted therapies as potential targets for effective NK-mediated cancer killing. METHODS To overcome CAF-induced NK dysfunction, we selected an antifibrotic drug, nintedanib, for synergistic therapeutic combination. To evaluate synergistic therapeutic efficacy, we established an in vitro 3D Capan2/patient-derived CAF spheroid model or in vivo mixed Capan2/CAF tumor xenograft model. The molecular mechanism of NK-mediated synergistic therapeutic combination with nintedanib was revealed through in vitro experiments. In vivo therapeutic combination efficacy was subsequently evaluated. Additionally, the expression score of target proteins was measured in patient-derived tumor sections by the immunohistochemical method. RESULTS Nintedanib blocked the platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) signaling pathway and diminished the activation and growth of CAFs, markedly reducing CAF-secreted IL-6. Moreover, coadministration of nintedanib improved the mesothelin (MSLN) targeting chimeric antigen receptor-NK-mediated tumor killing abilities in CAF/tumor spheroids or a xenograft model. The synergistic combination resulted in intense NK infiltration in vivo. Nintedanib alone exerted no effects, whereas blockade of IL-6 trans-signaling ameliorated the function of NK cells. The combination of the expression of MSLN and the PDGFRβ+-CAF population area, a potential prognostic/therapeutic marker, was associated with inferior clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION Our strategy against PDGFRβ+-CAF-containing pancreatic cancer allows improvements in the therapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with major vein resection is a challenging procedure. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic vein resection in pancreatic head cancer with portal vein/superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) invasion, and compared the survival rate following laparoscopic surgery with that following open surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of all patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent surgery performed by a single surgeon from January 2015 to December 2017. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare the disease-free survival, while Cox-proportional hazard models were used to analyze prognostic factors for survival. RESULTS Among 76 patients, 63 underwent open PD and 13 underwent laparoscopic PD with PV/SMV resection. There was no significant difference in the rate of complications, including portal vein stenosis and portal vein thrombus, recurrence of tumors, or pathological outcomes after surgery between the groups. There was also no significant difference in disease-free survival (p = .803) between the two groups. Additionally, the surgical method was not an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic PD with major vein resection can be feasibly performed in select patients with abutment and focal narrowing of the PV/SMV in pancreatic head cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) has been extended to periampullary cancers, but the oncologic outcome of MIPD for distal bile duct cancer (DBDC) has not been confirmed yet. METHODS Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for DBDC of stage I-IIb from 2015 to 2019 at a tertiary referral center were identified and divided into open PD (OPD) and MIPD groups, the latter including laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Survival was compared between the two groups after inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using predetermined factors, and exploratory mediation analysis was performed using surgery-derived outcomes. RESULTS MIPD (n = 81) group had more female patients (46.9% vs 31.6%, p = 0.011) and longer operation time (366.2 min vs. 279.1 min, p < 0.001) than the OPD (n = 288) group before IPTW. Otherwise, intraoperative and immediate postoperative outcomes were comparable between the two groups. In oncologic outcomes, MIPD group showed comparable 3-year overall survival (78.2% vs 75.0%, p = 0.062) and recurrence-free survival (51.2% vs 53.4%, p = 0.871) rates with OPD group before IPTW, and MIPD was not related with survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29-1.26, p = 0.18) and recurrence (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.67-1.53, p = 0.949) after IPTW with consideration of potential mediators. Sensitivity analysis using propensity score matching also showed similar results for survival (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.32-1.44, p = 0.312) and recurrence (HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.67-1.88, p = 0.653). CONCLUSION MIPD and OPD groups showed similar postoperative and oncologic outcomes. MIPD could be a considerable treatment option without oncological compromise in high-volume centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extranodal extension (ENE) is an established prognostic factor in several gastrointestinal cancers. However, the prognostic impact remains unclear. Here, we investigated the prognostic implications of ENE in patients with surgically resected pancreatic cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 476 surgically resected pancreatic head cancer patients who consecutively underwent upfront pancreaticoduodenectomy for pathologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between January 2009 and December 2013. We compared the disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the patients according to ENE status. RESULTS Among the 476 patients, patients with ENE had lower DFS rates than those without ENE (N0, 13 months; LN+/ENE-, 7 months; LN+/ENE+, 6 months; P < .001). In addition, even in the same N stage, patients with ENE had lower DFS rates than those without ENE (N0, 13 months; N1/ENE- 8 months; N1/ENE+, 7 months; N2/ENE-, 7 months; N2/ENE+, 4 months, P < .001). However, there was no significant difference in survival rates between patients in the N1/ENE+ group and those in the N2/ENE- group. Additionally, ENE was an independent prognostic factor for pancreatic cancer. CONCLUSIONS Extranodal extension significantly predicted a poor prognosis among patients with pancreatic head cancer, especially those with nodal metastasis. Therefore, ENE should be considered a prognostic factor in future editions of the staging system.

Abstract
675 Background: The association of resection margin status with recurrence and survival after pancreatectomy for pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of R1 resection on recurrence pattern and survival after distal pancreatectomy for left-sided PDAC. Methods: Patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy for PDAC at two high-volume institutions between January 2010 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Perioperative characteristics, pathological outcomes, recurrence pattern and survival data were collected to compare R0 resection and R1 resection. Results: Among 558 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy for PDAC, 158 patients (28.3%) showed R1 resection margin. R1 patients were associated with large tumor size (3.3 cm vs. 3.7 cm, p= 0.006) and lower number of positive lymph nodes (1.3 vs. 2.0, p= 0.001). Median overall survival (37.3 months vs. 20.1 months, p< 0.001) and recurrence-free survival (14.6 months vs. 6.9 months, p< 0.001) significantly differed between the R0 and R1 groups. Disease recurrence patterns were not statistically different between the two groups ( p = 0.182). Among the recurrence patterns, peritoneal carcinomatosis had the shortest recurrence-free survival (5.6 months, p < 0.05) and overall survival (13.6 months, p < 0.05) compared with all other recurrence patterns. Conclusions: R1 resection margin after distal pancreatectomy was associated with poor survival and early recurrence. There is no significant difference in recurrence pattern between R0 and R1. Among the recurrence patterns, peritoneal carcinomatosis showed the worst prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although we previously proposed a nomogram to predict malignancy in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) and validated it in an external cohort, its application is challenging without data on tumor markers. Moreover, existing nomograms have not been compared. This study aimed to develop a nomogram based on radiologic findings and to compare its performance with previously proposed American and Korean/Japanese nomograms. METHODS We recruited 3708 patients who underwent surgical resection at 31 tertiary institutions in eight countries, and patients with main pancreatic duct >10 mm were excluded. To construct the nomogram, 2606 patients were randomly allocated 1:1 into training and internal validation sets, and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) was calculated using 10-fold cross validation by exhaustive search. This nomogram was then validated and compared to the American and Korean/Japanese nomograms using 1102 patients. RESULTS Among the 2606 patients, 90 had main-duct type, 900 had branch-duct type, and 1616 had mixed-type IPMN. Pathologic results revealed 1628 low-grade dysplasia, 476 high-grade dysplasia, and 502 invasive carcinoma. Location, cyst size, duct dilatation, and mural nodule were selected to construct the nomogram. AUC of this nomogram was higher than the American nomogram (0.691 vs 0.664, P = .014) and comparable with the Korean/Japanese nomogram (0.659 vs 0.653, P = .255). CONCLUSIONS A novel nomogram based on radiologic findings of IPMN is competitive for predicting risk of malignancy. This nomogram would be clinically helpful in circumstances where tumor markers are not available. The nomogram is freely available at http://statgen.snu.ac.kr/software/nomogramIPMN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to show the clinical and oncologic outcomes of distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) from a high-volume single center and analyze them from diverse perspectives. METHODS Forty-eight patients with pancreatic body and tail cancer with celiac axis involvement who underwent DP-CAR were included in the study. The primary outcome was morbidity and 90-day mortality, and the secondary outcome was overall survival and disease-free survival. RESULTS Morbidity (Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥3) occurred in 12 patients (25.0%). Thirteen patients (27.1%) had pancreatic fistula grade B and 3 patients (6.3%) had delayed gastric emptying. The 90-day mortality was 2.1% (n = 1). The median overall survival was 25.5 months (interquartile range, 12.3-37.5 months) and median disease-free survival was 7.5 months (interquartile range, 4.0-17.0 months). During the follow-up period, 29.2% of participants survived for up to 3 years and 6.3% survived for up to 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Despite its associated morbidity and mortality, DP-CAR should be considered as the only therapeutic option for pancreatic body and tail cancer with celiac axis involvement when carried out on carefully selected patients performed by a highly experienced group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The current study aimed to develop a prediction model using a multi-marker panel as a diagnostic screening tool for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS Multi-center cohort of 1991 blood samples were collected from January 2011 to September 2019, of which 609 were normal, 145 were other cancer (colorectal, thyroid, and breast cancer), 314 were pancreatic benign disease, and 923 were pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The automated multi-biomarker Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay kit was developed using three potential biomarkers: LRG1, TTR, and CA 19-9. Using a logistic regression model on a training data set, the predicted values for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were obtained, and the result was classification into one of the three risk groups: low, intermediate, and high. The five covariates used to create the model were sex, age, and three biomarkers. RESULTS Participants were categorized into four groups as normal (n = 609), other cancer (n = 145), pancreatic benign disease (n = 314), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (n = 923). The normal, other cancer, and pancreatic benign disease groups were clubbed into the non-pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma group (n = 1068). The positive and negative predictive value, sensitivity, and specificity were 94.12, 90.40, 93.81, and 90.86, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates a significant diagnostic performance of the multi-marker panel in distinguishing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from normal and benign pancreatic disease states, as well as patients with other cancers.

OBJECTIVE We performed genome-wide expression profiling to develop an exosomal miRNA panel for predicting recurrence following surgery in patients with PDAC. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Pretreatment risk stratification is essential for offering individualized treatments to patients with PDAC, but predicting recurrence following surgery remains clinically challenging. METHODS We analyzed 210 plasma and serum specimens from 4 cohorts of PDAC patients. Using a discovery cohort (n = 25), we performed genome-wide sequencing to identify candidate exosomal miRNAs (exo-miRNAs). Subsequently, we trained and validated the predictive performance of the exo-miRNAs in two clinical cohorts (training cohort: n = 82, validation cohort: n = 57) without neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), followed by a post-NAT clinical cohort (n = 46) as additional validation. RESULTS We performed exo-miRNA expression profiling in plasma specimens obtained before any treatment in a discovery cohort. Subsequently we optimized and trained a 6-exo-miRNA risk-prediction model, which robustly discriminated patients with recurrence [area under the curve (AUC): 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.70-0.89] and relapse-free survival (RFS, P < 0.01) in the training cohort. The identified exo-miRNA panel was successfully validated in an independent validation cohort (AUC: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.65- 0.88, RFS: P < 0.01), where it exhibited comparable performance in the post-NAT cohort (AUC: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.57-0.85, RFS: P < 0.01) and emerged as an independent predictor for RFS (hazard ratio: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.30-6.20). CONCLUSIONS We identified a novel, noninvasive exo-miRNA signature that robustly predicts recurrence following surgery in patients with PDAC; highlighting its potential clinical impact for optimized patient selection and improved individualized treatment strategies.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Postoperative fluid collection is a common complication of pancreatic resection without clear management guidelines. This study aimed to compare outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided trans-gastric drainage and percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) in patients who experienced this adverse event after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods Demographic and clinical data and intervention outcomes of 53 patients who underwent drainage procedure (EUS-guided, n = 32; PCD, n = 21) for fluid collection after PD between January 2015 and June 2019 in our tertiary referral center were retrospectively analyzed. Results Prior to drainage, 83.0% had leukocytosis and 92.5% presented with one or more of the following signs or symptoms: fever (69.8%), abdominal pain (69.8%), and nausea/vomiting (17.0%). Within 8 weeks of drainage, 77.4% showed a diameter decrease of more than 50% (87.5% in EUS vs. 66.7% in PCD, p = 0.09). Post-procedural intravenous antibiotics were used for an average of 8.1 ± 4.3 days and 12.4 ± 7.4 days for EUS group and PCD group, respectively (p = 0.01). The EUS group had a shorter post-procedural hospital stay than the PCD group (9.8 ± 1.1 vs. 15.8 ± 2.2 days, p < 0.01). However, the two groups showed no statistically significant difference in technical or clinical success rate, reintervention rate, or adverse event rate. Conclusions EUS-guided drainage and PCD are both safe and effective methods for managing fluid collection after PD. However, EUS-guided drainage can shorten hospital stay and duration of intravenous antibiotics use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent evidence shows that indicators testing conventional olfactory function have a high degree of similarity to cognitive function tests and the potential to diagnose early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, the efficacy of functional near-infrared spectroscopy time-series data obtained through olfactory stimulation was investigated as an early diagnostic tool for mild cognitive impairment in AD using random forest, a machine learning algorithm. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a patient-level, single-group, diagnostic interventional trial using near-infrared signals measured during olfactory stimulation in the prefrontal cortex of 178 older adults ranging from normal to participants with AD as markers to discriminate AD stages. We first divided the participants into normal older adults, AD mild cognitive impairment, and AD groups using dementia diagnostic criteria such as the Mini-Mental State Examination and Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery. We compared the left and right oxygenation difference by calculating the relative oxygenation difference from the change in relative oxygen concentration. RESULTS A total of 168 participants met the eligibility criteria: 70 (41.6%) had normal cognitive function; 42 (25%) mild cognitive impairment; 21 (12.5%) mild AD; and 35 (20.8%) moderate AD. A random forest machine learning model was developed to predict the AD stage, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 90.7% for mild cognitive impairment and AD, 90.99% for mild cognitive impairment, and 93.34% for AD only. CONCLUSIONS Based on the classification of the oxygenation difference index of the left and right prefrontal cortices during olfactory stimulation through machine learning, we found that it was possible to detect early-stage mild cognitive impairment in AD. Our results highlight the potential for early AD diagnosis using near-infrared signals from the prefrontal cortex obtained upon olfactory stimulation. Moreover, the results showed high similarity to the existing cognitive function tests and high accuracy in AD stage classification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) incidence is rising worldwide, and most patients present with an unresectable disease at initial diagnosis. Measurement of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels lacks adequate sensitivity and specificity for early detection; hence, there is an unmet need to develop alternate molecular diagnostic biomarkers for PDAC. Emerging evidence suggests that tumor-derived exosomal cargo, particularly micro RNAs (miRNAs), offer an attractive platform for the development of cancer-specific biomarkers. Herein, genomewide profiling in blood specimens was performed to develop an exosome-based transcriptomic signature for noninvasive and early detection of PDAC. METHODS Small RNA sequencing was undertaken in a cohort of 44 patients with an early-stage PDAC and 57 nondisease controls. Using machine-learning algorithms, a panel of cell-free (cf) and exosomal (exo) miRNAs were prioritized that discriminated patients with PDAC from control subjects. Subsequently, the performance of the biomarkers was trained and validated in independent cohorts (n = 191) using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays. RESULTS The sequencing analysis initially identified a panel of 30 overexpressed miRNAs in PDAC. Subsequently using qRT-PCR assays, the panel was reduced to 13 markers (5 cf- and 8 exo-miRNAs), which successfully identified patients with all stages of PDAC (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.98 training cohort; AUC = 0.93 validation cohort); but more importantly, was equally robust for the identification of early-stage PDAC (stages I and II; AUC = 0.93). Furthermore, this transcriptomic signature successfully identified CA19-9 negative cases (<37 U/mL; AUC = 0.96), when analyzed in combination with CA19-9 levels, significantly improved the overall diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.99 vs AUC = 0.86 for CA19-9 alone). CONCLUSIONS In this study, an exosome-based liquid biopsy signature for the noninvasive and robust detection of patients with PDAC was developed.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer exhibits a characteristic tumor microenvironment (TME) due to enhanced fibrosis and hypoxia and is particularly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TME-associated treatment resistance in pancreatic cancer are not fully understood. Here, we developed an in vitro TME mimic system comprising pancreatic cancer cells, fibroblasts and immune cells, and a stress condition, including hypoxia and gemcitabine. Cells with high viability under stress showed evidence of increased direct cell-to-cell transfer of biomolecules. The resulting derivative cells (CD44high/SLC16A1high) were similar to cancer stem cell-like-cells (CSCs) with enhanced anchorage-independent growth or invasiveness and acquired metabolic reprogramming. Furthermore, CD24 was a determinant for transition between the tumorsphere formation or invasive properties. Pancreatic cancer patients with CD44low/SLC16A1low expression exhibited better prognoses compared to other groups. Our results suggest that crosstalk via direct cell-to-cell transfer of cellular components foster chemotherapy-induced tumor evolution and that targeting of CD44 and MCT1(encoded by SLC16A1) may be useful strategy to prevent recurrence of gemcitabine-exposed pancreatic cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to identify prognostic factors and the best candidates for neoadjuvant therapy among patients with resectable left-sided pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by analyzing the timing and pattern of recurrence following upfront surgery. METHODS This single-center retrospective study included patients with resectable left-sided PDAC who underwent upfront distal pancreatectomy from 2005 to 2015. A minimum P value approach was used to evaluate the optimal cutoff of early recurrence. The predictors of recurrence were assessed with Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Among 311 included patients, 241 (77.5%) had a recurrence at a median follow-up of 29.3 months. Systemic recurrence occurred in 194 patients (80.5%) and isolated local recurrence in 47 patients (19.5%). A recurrence-free survival cutoff of 12 months was selected to distinguish between early and late recurrence. The patients with early recurrence had a shorter median overall survival (16.1 vs. 39.9 months, P<0.001) and post-recurrence survival (9.6 vs. 17.2 months, P<0.001) than those with late recurrence. The patients with systemic recurrence had a shorter median overall survival (19.6 vs. 29.1 months, P=0.007) and post-recurrence survival (11.0 vs. 15.3 months, P=0.024) than those with an isolated local recurrence. In multivariable analysis, preoperative CA 19-9 ≥500 U/mL [odd ratio (OR) 2.037, P=0.035], radiologic splenic vessels invasion (OR 5.014, P<0.001), positive radial resection margin (OR 2.638, P<0.001), and no adjuvant chemotherapy (OR 2.084, P=0.001) were predictors of an early systemic recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Radiologic splenic vessels invasion may be considered to indicate a biologically borderline status in patients with anatomically resectable left-sided PDAC. Future clinical trials of neoadjuvant therapy targeting these patients should be conducted.

Abstract
Many preclinically tested nanoparticles in existing animal models fail to be directly translated into clinical applications because of their poor resemblance to human cancer. Herein, the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect of glycol chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) in different tumor microenvironments (TMEs) was compared using different pancreatic tumor models, including pancreatic cancer cell line (BxPC3), patient-derived cancer cell (PDC), and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. CNPs were intravenously injected into different tumor models, and their accumulation efficiency was evaluated using non-invasive near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging. In particular, differences in angiogenic vessel density, collagen matrix, and hyaluronic acid content in tumor tissues of the BxPC3, PDC, and PDX models greatly affected the tumor-targeting efficiency of CNPs. In addition, different PDX models were established using different tumor tissues of patients to predict the clinical EPR effect of CNPs in inter-patient TMEs, wherein the gene expression levels of PECAM1, COL4A1, and HAS1 in human tumor tissues were observed to be closely related to the EPR effect of CNPs in PDX models. The results suggested that the PDX models could mimic inter-patient TMEs with different blood vessel structures and extracellular matrix (ECM) content that critically affect the tumor-targeting ability of CNPs in different pancreatic PDX models. This study provides a better understanding of the heterogeneity and complexity of inter-patient TMEs that can predict the response of various nanoparticles in individual tumors for personalized cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis even after curative resection. A deep learning-based stratification of postoperative survival in the preoperative setting may aid the treatment decisions for improving prognosis. This study was aimed to develop a deep learning model based on preoperative data for predicting postoperative survival. METHODS The patients who underwent surgery for PDAC between January 2014 and May 2015. Clinical data-based machine learning models and computed tomography (CT) data-based deep learning models were developed separately, and ensemble learning was utilized to combine two models. The primary outcomes were the prediction of 2-year overall survival (OS) and 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). The model's performance was measured by area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) and was compared with that of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th stage. RESULTS The median OS and RFS were 23 and 10 months in training dataset (n = 229), and 22 and 11 months in test dataset (n = 53), respectively. The AUC of the ensemble model for predicting 2-year OS and 1-year RFS in the test dataset was 0.76 and 0.74, respectively. The performance of the ensemble model was comparable to that of the AJCC in predicting 2-year OS (AUC, 0.67; P = 0.35) and superior to the AJCC in predicting 1-year RFS (AUC, 0.54; P = 0.049). CONCLUSION and relevance: Our ensemble model based on routine preoperative variables showed good performance for predicting prognosis for PDAC patients after surgery.

Abstract
Sn doped ZnO loaded cotton stalk activated carbon (Sn-ZnO/CSAC) was prepared by chemical precipitation method, and the products were characterized. The XRD resultants confirm that the presence of hexagonal wurtzite phase of the bare ZnO. Furthermore, particular particle size gradually decreases (21.49 nm) due to doping and loading. UV-Vis absorption intensity of doped/loaded sample was red-shifted and then PL intensity is reduced. The photocatalytic performances of bare, Sn-doped ZnO and Sn-ZnO/CSAC was estimated by photodegradation of brilliant green (BG) under sunlight. The photodegradation of BG dye in 120 min over Sn-doped ZnO/CSAC is nearly 96.52%, which is considerably improved than bare ZnO (72.60%), respectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States by 2030. Most of the PDAC patients are diagnosed with advanced disease, and less than 20% of patients are resectable at the time of diagnosis. The current imaging tools and blood markers (e.g. CA 19-9), are inadequate for early disease detection due to their poor specificity and sensitivity. This highlights the need to develop robust, noninvasive biomarkers for early detection of PDAC. While a large body of literature supports the use of cell-free miRNAs (cf-miRNAs) as potential diagnostic biomarkers in cancer, their tumor specificity is often debatable. Given the emerging evidence that exosomal cargo is a more robust representation of individual tumor types, in this study we sought to explore the diagnostic potential of cf-miRNAs along with exosomal miRNAs (exo-miRNAs), to establish a non-invasive miRNA signature for the early detection of PDAC.
Methods: As part of the NCI’s Pancreatic Cancer Detection Consortium (PCDC) funded project, in this study, small RNA-sequencing was performed in exosome and cell-free (cf) samples from a cohort of 57 PDAC cases and 57 non-disease controls. Using rigorous bioinformatic and biostatistical approaches, we prioritized a panel of cf- and exo-miRNAs and evaluated its diagnostic performance in the sequencing-based discovery and validation cohorts. Subsequently, the performance of the discovered miRNA panel was validated using qRT-PCR assays in an independent clinical validation cohort of PDAC patients and non-disease controls (n=48/each group). The results were examined by ROC curve analysis to determine the diagnostic power of the biomarker panel individually and in combination for their ability to discriminate PDAC from controls.
Results: The genomewide transcriptomic analyses led to the identification of a panel of 13 cf-miRNA and 17 exo-miRNA candidates. Sequencing validation in an independent cohort revealed that a combined panel of cf and exo-miRNAs exhibited an area under curve (AUC) of 0.89. Subsequent risk score analysis demonstrated that our biomarker signature was also robust in the identification of PDAC patients with early-stage cancers (stage I & II) vs. controls (p <0.001). Moreover, when we combined the miRNA biomarker panel with CA19-9 values, the diagnostic performance was significantly superior when compared to the biomarker panel alone. Finally, the validation efforts in clinical cohorts by qRT-PCR revealed that the combined miRNA panel yielded an impressive accuracy with an AUC of 0.91, and a sensitivity of 0.88 and specificity of 0.87.
Conclusions: In conclusion, we report a novel, exosome-based miRNA signature for the early detection of patients with PDAC; which could potentially improve early-detection efforts for this fatal malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate assessment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resectability after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is crucial. Recently, the NCCN introduced criteria for resection of PDAC following NAT. METHODS We analyzed 127 patients who underwent NAT and pancreatectomy for PDAC between January 2010 and March 2020. CT-determined resectability according to the NCCN guideline, and CA 19-9 level was evaluated before and after NAT. Diagnostic performance of the NCCN criteria for margin-negative (R0) resection was investigated and compared with CT alone. RESULTS R0 resection was achieved in 104 (81.9%) patients. After NAT, there were 30 (23.6%) resectable, 90 (70.9%) borderline resectable, and seven (5.5%) locally advanced tumors. Significantly decreased or stable CA 19-9 levels were noted in 114 (89.8%) patients. The sensitivity and specificity of the NCCN criteria were 87.5% (91/104) and 21.7% (5/23), respectively, which were significantly different from CT including only resectable PDAC (26.9% [28/104] and 91.3% [21/23]; p<0.001), but less prominently different from CT including resectable and borderline resectable PDAC (95.2% [99/104]; p=0.022 and 8.7% [2/23]; p=0.375). CONCLUSIONS The NCCN criteria for resection following NAT showed high sensitivity and low specificity for predicting R0 resection. It had supplementary benefit over CT alone, mainly in preventing underestimation of R0 resection.

Abstract
Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard treatment after curative-intent surgery
for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The phase-3 ESPAC-4 trial
demonstrated significantly improved overall survival (OS) with Gemcitabine
plus capecitabine (GemCap) over Gemcitabine (Gem) in Europe. We conducted a
retrospective efficacy and safety evaluation of GemCap
versus Gem in an Asian population. Methods: This retrospective analysis included 292 patients with PDAC who received
adjuvant Gem or GemCap after curative resection between January 2017 and
December 2020 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Results: Adjuvant Gem and GemCap were administered to 161 (55.1%) and 131 (44.8%)
patients, respectively. The Gem group had significantly older patients
(median 66 versus 63 years, p = 0.001);
otherwise, the groups had similar baseline characteristics. With median
follow-up durations of 39.4 [95% confidence interval (CI), 36.9–45.0] and
39.4 (95% CI, 34.7–41.6) months in the Gem and GemCap groups, the median OS
was 36.8 (95% CI, 29.7–43.5) and 46.1 (95% CI, 31.5–not reached) months in
the Gem and GemCap groups, respectively [unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.7;
95% CI, 0.5–1.0; p = 0.07). The median recurrence-free
survival was 14.3 (95% CI, 12.9–17.7) and 17.0 (95% CI, 13.3–28.2) months,
respectively (p = 0.5). Hand-foot skin reactions (any
grade, 15.3% versus 0.6%; p < 0.001),
neutropenia (78.6% versus 67.7%, p = 0.04)
and thrombocytopenia (30.5% versus 20.5%,
p = 0.04) were more common in the GemCap group.
Multivariate analysis revealed adjuvant GemCap – compared with Gem – to be
significantly associated with better OS (adjusted HR = 0.6; 95% CI, 0.4–0.9;
p = 0.01). Otherwise, moderate or poor histological
grade, lymph node positivity, positive resection margin, and elevated CA
19-9 (>median) were significantly associated with worse OS. Conclusions: Adjuvant GemCap showed the consistent clinical outcomes with the ESPAC-4
trial. As mFOLFIRINOX is the new standard treatment for medically fit
patients with resected PDAC, further evaluation of optimal adjuvant
chemotherapy in daily practice is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is frequently used for the preoperative histologic diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. However, debate continues regarding the clinical merits of preoperative EUS-FNA for the management of resectable pancreatic cancer. We aimed to evaluate the benefits and safety of preoperative EUS-FNA for resectable distal pancreatic cancer. METHODS The medical records of 304 consecutive patients with suspected distal pancreatic cancer who underwent EUS-FNA were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the clinical benefits of preoperative EUS-FNA. We also reviewed the medical records of 528 patients diagnosed with distal pancreatic cancer who underwent distal pancreatectomy with or without EUS-FNA. The recurrence rates and cancer-free survival periods of patients who did or did not undergo preoperative EUS-FNA were compared. RESULTS The diagnostic accuracy of preoperative EUS-FNA was high (sensitivity, 87.5%; specificity, 100%; positive predictive value 100%; accuracy, 90.7%; negative predictive value, 73.8%). Among patients, 26.7% (79/304) avoided surgery based on the preoperative EUS-FNA findings. Of the 528 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy, 193 patients received EUS-FNA and 335 did not. During follow-up (median 21.7 months), the recurrence rate was similar in the two groups (EUS-FNA, 72.7%; non-EUS-FNA, 75%; P = 0.58). The median cancer-free survival was also similar (P = 0.58); however, gastric wall recurrence was only encountered in the patients with EUS-FNA (n = 2). CONCLUSION Preoperative EUS-FNA is not associated with increased risks of cancer-specific or overall survival. However, clinicians must consider the potential risks of needle tract seeding, and care should be taken when selecting patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We identified the chronologic changes in the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) for left-sided pancreatic tumors in a single high-volume center over a period of 15 years. METHODS Between 2005 and 2019, 2212 patients underwent planned MIDP. Chronologic changes were analyzed according to 5-year intervals (P1, P2, P3). Furthermore, we assessed the prognostic factors of open conversion and postoperative complications. RESULTS MIDP has steadily increased during the last 15 years when compared to open distal pancreatectomy, from 10.8% to 84.9%. Also, MIDP for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been steadily increasing from 5.6% to 68.4%. According to the 5-year intervals, lengths of hospital stay decreased, but age and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) ≥3 increased; conversely, the rates of Clavien-Dindo classification ≥grade 3 (9.5%) and postoperative pancreatic fistula (39.7%) showed no differences. The 90-day mortality and open conversion rates were 0.2% and 3.5%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed malignancy and extended pancreatectomy were risk factors for open conversion. Furthermore, the poor prognostic factors for severe complications were malignancy, extended pancreatectomy, and ASA ≥3. CONCLUSION MIDP has become a popular procedure not only for benign cases but also for malignant ones. However, well-organized training, experience and skill are necessary, especially for poor-performance patients and extensively malignant conditions.

Abstract
593 Background: Extranodal extension (ENE) is an established prognostic factor of several gastrointestinal cancers; furthermore, ENE is already included as one component of nodal category of oral cavity, penis, and vulvar cancers. However, the prognostic impact of ENE in pancreatic cancer remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate prognostic implication of ENE in patients with surgically resected pancreatic cancer. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records and pathologic slides of 503 surgically resected pancreatic head cancer patients, who consecutively underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pathologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between January 2009 and December 2013. Patients were categorized into subgroups according to ENE status and AJCC 8th pancreatic cancer staging system. We compared the disease-free survival rates of the patients according to ENE status. Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to evaluate prognostic factors for the disease-free survival of pancreatic head cancer. Results: ENE-positive patient group showed a larger tumor size, a higher rate of lymph node metastasis, and a tendency to be positive for lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and resection margin (p < 0.001). Patients with ENE had lower overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates compared with those without ENE (N0, 30 months; LN+/ENE-, 20 months; LN+/ENE+, 16 months; p < 0.001), (N0, 13 months; LN+/ENE-, 8 months; LN+/ENE+, 5 months; p < 0.001). Patients with higher N categories had lower OS and DFS rates. In addition, even in the same N stage, patients with ENE showed lower OS and DFS rates than those without ENE (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in survival rates between patients in the N1/ENE+ group and the N2/ENE- group. Additionally, ENE was an independent prognostic factor for pancreatic cancer. Conclusions: ENE significantly influenced adverse prognosis among patients with pancreatic head cancer especially for those with nodal metastasis. Therefore, ENE should be considered as a prognostic factor in the future editions of the AJCC staging system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This individual-patient data meta-analysis investigated the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols compared with conventional care on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched systematically for articles reporting outcomes of ERAS after pancreatoduodenectomy published up to August 2020. Comparative studies were included. Main outcomes were postoperative functional recovery elements, postoperative morbidity, duration of hospital stay, and readmission. RESULTS Individual-patient data were obtained from 17 of 31 eligible studies comprising 3108 patients. Time to liquid (mean difference (MD) -3.23 (95 per cent c.i. -4.62 to -1.85) days; P < 0.001) and solid (-3.84 (-5.09 to -2.60) days; P < 0.001) intake, time to passage of first stool (MD -1.38 (-1.82 to -0.94) days; P < 0.001) and time to removal of the nasogastric tube (3.03 (-4.87 to -1.18) days; P = 0.001) were reduced with ERAS. ERAS was associated with lower overall morbidity (risk difference (RD) -0.04, 95 per cent c.i. -0.08 to -0.01; P = 0.015), less delayed gastric emptying (RD -0.11, -0.22 to -0.01; P = 0.039) and a shorter duration of hospital stay (MD -2.33 (-2.98 to -1.69) days; P < 0.001) without a higher readmission rate. CONCLUSION ERAS improved postoperative outcome after pancreatoduodenectomy. Implementation should be encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although surgery is the primary treatment for ampullary cancer (AC), the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (CTx) has not yet been confirmed. METHODS AC patients who were administered 5-fluorouracil(FU)/leucovorin(LV)-based CTx after curative intent surgery between 2011 and 2019 were included. Prognosis was compared between the observation (OB) and CTx groups after propensity score matching (PSM) using perioperative variables to control differences in patient characteristics. RESULTS Before PSM, of 475 patients, those in the CTx group (n = 281) had worse 5-year overall survival (OS) (82.1% vs. 78.5%, p = 0.017) and worse 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) (54.9% vs. 75.7%, p < 0.001) than those in the OB group (n = 194). In addition, the CTx group had a higher rate of poor prognostic factors such as a high T stage (p < 0.001), node metastasis (p < 0.001), and poor differentiation (p < 0.001). After PSM, perioperative outcomes were comparable. In addition, there were no significant differences in OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.085; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.688-1.710; p = 0.726) or RFS (HR, 0.883; 95% CI, 0.613 1.272; p = 0.505) between the CTx (n = 123) and OB (n = 123) groups even after stratification by TNM stage. Intestinal subtype showed better 5-year OS (83.7% vs 33.2%, p = 0.015) and RFS (46.5% vs 24.9%, p = 0.035) rate compared with pancreatobiliary/mixed subtype. CONCLUSION Patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy based on 5-FU/LV showed comparable oncologic outcomes to patients in the OB group even after stratification by tumor stage. The patients with intestinal subtype showed oncologic benefit for adjuvant 5-FU/LV CTx compared with pancreatobiliary or mixed subtypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to perform mRNA-miRNA regulatory network analyses to identify a miRNA panel for molecular subtype identification and stratification of high-risk patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). BACKGROUND Recent transcriptional profiling effort in PDAC has led to the identification of molecular subtypes that associate with poor survival; however, their clinical significance for risk stratification in patients with PDAC has been challenging. METHODS By performing a systematic analysis in The Cancer Genome Atlas and International Cancer Genome Consortium cohorts, we discovered a panel of miRNAs that associated with squamous and other poor molecular subtypes in PDAC. Subsequently, we used logistic regression analysis to develop models for risk stratification and Cox proportional hazard analysis to determine survival prediction probability of this signature in multiple cohorts of 433 patients with PDAC, including a tissue cohort (n = 199) and a preoperative serum cohort (n = 51). RESULTS We identified a panel of 9 miRNAs that were significantly upregulated (miR-205-5p and -934) or downregulated (miR-192-5p, 194-5p, 194-3p, 215-5p, 375-3p, 552-3p, and 1251-5p) in PDAC molecular subtypes with poor survival [squamous, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) = 0.90; basal, AUC = 0.89; and quasimesenchymal, AUC = 0.83]. The validation of this miRNA panel in a tissue clinical cohort was a significant predictor of overall survival (hazard ratio = 2.48, P < 0.0001), and this predictive accuracy improved further in a risk nomogram which included key clinicopathological factors. Finally, we were able to successfully translate this miRNA predictive signature into a liquid biopsy-based assay in preoperative serum specimens from PDAC patients (hazard ratio: 2.85, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION We report a novel miRNA risk-stratification signature that can be used as a noninvasive assay for the identification of high-risk patients and potential disease monitoring in patients with PDAC.

Abstract
With the aim of fabricating drug-loaded implantable patches, a 3D printing technique was employed to produce novel coaxial hydrogel patches. The core-section of these patches contained a dopamine-modified methacrylated alginate hydrogel loaded with a chemotherapeutic drug (Gemcitabine), while their shell section was solely comprised of a methacrylated alginate hydrogel. Subsequently, these patches were further modified with CaCO3 cross linker and a polylactic acid (PLA) coating to facilitate prolonged release of the drug. Consequently, the results showed that addition of CaCO3 to the formula enhanced the mechanical properties of the patches and significantly reduced their swelling ratio as compared to that for patches without CaCO3. Furthermore, addition of PLA coating to CaCO3-containing patches has further reduced their swelling ratio, which then significantly slowed down the release of Gemcitabine, to a point where 4-layered patches could release the drug over a period of 7 days in vitro. Remarkably, it was shown that 3-layered and 4-layered Gemcitabine loaded patches were successful in inhibiting pancreatic cancer cell growth for a period of 14 days when tested in vitro. Lastly, in vivo experiments showed that gemcitabine-loaded 4-layered patches were capable of reducing the tumor growth rate and caused no severe toxicity when tested in mice. Altogether, 3D printed hydrogel patches might be used as biocompatible implants for local delivery of drugs to diseased site, to either shrink the tumor or to prevent the tumor recurrence after resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival outcomes and optimal extent of surgery of T2 gallbladder cancers remain controversial. We aimed to investigate the difference in overall/disease-free survival rates and assess the prognosis of T2 gallbladder cancers. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of 147 patients who underwent surgical resection for pathologically confirmed T2 gallbladder cancer between January 2003 and December 2012. Patients were categorized into two groups according to the tumor location (T2a vs. T2b) and three groups according to surgery method (simple cholecystectomy, cholecystectomy with lymph node dissection, and extended cholecystectomy). We compared the overall and disease-free survival rates according to T2 subgroups and surgery methods. Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to evaluate prognostic factors for the overall survival of T2 gallbladder cancer. RESULTS Of all patients, 40 (27.2%) and 107 (72.8%) were diagnosed with T2a and T2b gallbladder cancers, respectively. The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were 75.0% vs. 73.8% (p = 0.653) and 72.5% vs. 70.1% (p = 0.479) in T2a and T2b gallbladder cancers, respectively. There was no difference in the survival rate among T2a gallbladder cancer according to the surgery method. However, in T2b gallbladder cancer, extended cholecystectomy showed a better overall survival than simple cholecystectomy and cholecystectomy with lymph node dissection groups (p = 0.043 and p = 0.003, respectively). CONCLUSIONS There is no difference in overall and disease-free survival rates according to the location of T2 gallbladder cancers. Extended cholecystectomy increases overall survival rate, especially in T2b gallbladder cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a serious disease with a poor prognosis. Only a minority of patients undergo surgery due to the advanced stage of the disease, and patients with early-stage disease, who are expected to have a better prognosis, often experience recurrence. Thus, it is important to identify the risk factors for early recurrence and to develop an adequate treatment plan.
AIM To evaluate the predictive factors associated with the early recurrence of early-stage PDAC.
METHODS This study enrolled 407 patients with stage I PDAC undergoing upfront surgical resection between January 2000 and April 2016. Early recurrence was defined as a diagnosis of recurrence within 6 mo of surgery. The optimal cutoff values were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for early recurrence.
RESULTS Of the 407 patients, 98 patients (24.1%) experienced early disease recurrence: 26 (26.5%) local and 72 (73.5%) distant sites. In total, 253 (62.2%) patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. On ROC curve analysis, the optimal cutoff values for early recurrence were 70 U/mL and 2.85 cm for carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) levels and tumor size, respectively. Of the 181 patients with CA 19-9 level > 70 U/mL, 59 (32.6%) had early recurrence, compared to 39 (17.4%) of 226 patients with CA 19-9 level ≤ 70 U/mL (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that CA 19-9 level > 70 U/mL (P = 0.006), tumor size > 2.85 cm (P = 0.004), poor differentiation (P = 0.008), and non-adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.025) were significant risk factors for early recurrence in early-stage PDAC.
CONCLUSION Elevated CA 19-9 level (cutoff value > 70 U/mL) can be a reliable predictive factor for early recurrence in early-stage PDAC. As adjuvant chemotherapy can prevent early recurrence, it should be recommended for patients susceptible to early recurrence.

Abstract
Most nanoparticles show much higher uptake in mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) organs than in tumors, which has been a long-lasting dilemma in nanomedicine. Here, we report an imaging strategy that selectively decreases MPS organ uptakes by utilizing the differential esterase activity in tumors and other organs. When an esterase-labile radiotracer loaded liposome was injected into the body, radioactivity was rapidly excreted from the liver and spleen after breakage of the ester bond by esterase. However, the lipophilic radiotracer delivered to the tumor remained in the tumor with minimal bond cleavage. The underlying mechanism was fully characterized in vitro and in vivo in colon tumor models. As a proof of concept, the liposomal radiotracer was further optimized for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. The folate-coated liposomal radiotracer showed highly selective tumor uptake. At 4 h postinjection, a pancreatic tumor a few millimeters in size was unambiguously visualized in orthotopic tumor models by PET imaging. At 24 h, an exceptionally high tumor-to-background ratio was achieved, enabling the visualization of tumors alone with minimal background noise. More than 9% of the total radioactivity was found in the tumor. Utilizing our imaging strategy, various tumor imaging agents can be developed for sensitive detection with ultrahigh contrast.
