摘要
Purpose To examine the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of pediatric patients with malignant pancreatic tumors in a population-based cohort. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was utilized to identify all pediatric patients with malignant pancreatic tumors, diagnosed between 1973 and 2013. Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to determine median and five-year overall survival (OS) rates. Univariate survival analysis was executed using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify variables independently associated with mortality. Results A total of 114 patients with pancreatic malignancies were identified. Median patient age was 16 years and the majority of patients were white (64%) females (61.4%). The most prevalent histologic subtype was neuroendocrine tumors (35.1%), whereas pancreatoblastoma was more common during the first decade of life (P < 0.001). Distant metastases were noted in 41.7% of the patients, while 33.3% and 25% had localized and regional disease respectively. Five-year OS rates were 77%, 66.4% and 64.8% for patients with pancreatoblastoma, neuroendocrine and epithelial tumors respectively. No death was observed in the solid pseudopapillary tumor group. Only history of having cancer-directed surgery (CDS) was significantly associated with lower overall mortality (HR: 5.1, 95% CI: 2.1, 12.4). Conclusion Pancreatic malignancies are rare in children. Their prognosis is variable and only CDS was independently associated with superior survival. Evidence rating/classification Prognosis study, Level II.
