22 gru 2021 · Patients <60 years underwent resection of the tumour more often (22 vs. 14% p < 0.001), more often received chemotherapy, and had a better median OS (6.9 vs. 3.3 months, p < 0.001) compared to older patients.
Overall survival of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer according to patient age (P=0.039). In the univariate analysis, elderly patients had poorer outcomes compared to younger patients (median survival, 114 vs. 198 days, respectively; P=0.04) ().In addition, patients with a poor performance status, high CA19-9 and CEA levels, jaundice, leukocytosis and unresponsiveness to chemotherapy ...
26 lis 2018 · Currently, localized disease offers the only chance for cure. Unfortunately, only about 10% of diagnoses are made at the localized stage, largely because symptoms are nonspecific until advanced stage. Because of this, five-year overall survival for pancreatic cancer remains dismally low at 8% [1].
1 lip 2001 · By 2030, 20% of the population will be over 65 years of age.[1] As the elderly population increases, oncologists will be faced with a progressively larger number of older patients with cancer.

15 lis 2022 · Dr. Truty says patients who are able to have surgery to remove their pancreatic cancer can live significantly longer, but in cases where the tumor has grown outside of the pancreas to encase critical blood vessels, pancreatic cancer has been considered inoperable.
20 gru 2020 · With the ongoing aging of the patient population and an increasing incidence of pancreatic cancer, this patient group becomes more relevant. This study aims to clarify the association between increasing age, treatment and overall survival in patients with LAPC.
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor, with an average 5-year survival rate of less than 7% . It can have distant metastasis in the early stage, and is likely to invade local nerves and blood vessels.
