Characterization of an oligometastatic state in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma undergoing systemic chemotherapy.

Purpose/objectives: Most patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) will present with distant metastatic disease at diagnosis. We sought to identify clinical characteristics associated with prolonged overall survival (OS) in patients presenting with metastatic PDAC.

Materials/methods: Patients presenting with metastatic PDAC that received treatment at our institution with FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine-based chemotherapies between August 1, 2011 and September 1, 2017 were included in the study.
