Objective: To analyze the R1 rate of the pancreatic head carcinoma resection specimens which delt with a unified protocol by two different R1 criteria.
Methods: Between November 2011 and October 2013, a unified pathological protocol was prospectively used to handle 70 consecutive pancreatioduodenectomy specimens for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Apart from the pancreatic transection margin, the bile duct and stomach/jejunum margins, different colors were used to stain the anterior surface, the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) groove margin, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) margin, and the posterior surface. Axial slicing technique was used to dissect the pancreatioduodenectomy specimens.
Results: Among the 70 patients, 3, 30 and 37 patients were classified as well, moderately and poorly differentiated respectively;7, 15 and 48 patients were classified as pT1, pT2 and pT3 respectively.Forty patients (57.1%) had metastases in regional lymph nodes (pN1) , and 16 patients (22.9%) had metastases in para-aortic nodes.Resection of the portal vein and/or the superior mesenteric vein was performed in 13 patients (18.6%) .When applying the UICC criteria, 26 cancer resections were classified R1 (37.1%) , 33 margins were turned out to be R1. The SMV groove margin and SMA margin were infiltrated in 13 specimens (13/33, 39.4%) respectively.When applying the Royal College of Pathologist's criteria, 39 cancer resections were classified R1 (55.7%) , 51 margins were turned out to be R1. The SMV groove margin and SMA margin were infiltrated in 18 (18/51, 35.3%) and 19 (19/51, 37.3%) specimen respectively.Until April 2014, the median follow-up was 18(range 6-42) months.
Conclusions: Applying the unified protocol for pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma specimens results in an significant R1 rate of the resection margins, and the R1 rate is related to the R1 criterion. The SMV groove margin and SMA margin are the two most frequent sites of R1.

Pancreatoduodenectomy with venous resection for ductal adenocarcinoma rarely achieves complete (R0) resection.

Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway; Department of Pathology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy with venous resection is considered standard of care for patients with tumour involvement of the superior mesenteric/portal vein (SMV/PV) and deemed justified if an R0-resection can be achieved. The aim of this study was to provide a detailed pathology assessment of the site and extent of margin involvement in specimens resulting from pancreatoduodenectomy with venous resection.
Methods: Retrospective observational study including patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy with or without venous resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between 2015 and 2017.

Aim: This study was conducted to analyze the changes in margin positivity in pancreaticoduodenectomies, on using a standardized protocol, which bread loafs the pancreas and duodenum in the axial plane for adenocarcinomas arising in the pancreatic head, ampulla, terminal common bile duct (CBD), and duodenum, and then to assess whether these tumor subsets involve the margins in different ways.
Methods: The analysis was performed on 70 consecutive specimens, the pre-protocol specimens serving as the control group.
Results And Conclusions: Tumors originating from the pancreatic head, ampulla, terminal CBD, and duodenum showed a consistent increase in their R1 incidence, post-protocol.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a French multicentre prospective evaluation of resection margins in 150 evaluable specimens.

Department of Surgery, Institute Paoli Calmettes, Marseille, France.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of a standardized pathological protocol on resection margin status after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for ductal adenocarcinoma.
Methods: A total of 150 patients operated during 2008-2010 were included in a prospective multicentre study using a 'quality protocol'. Multicolour inking by the surgeon identified three resection margins: the portal vein-superior mesenteric vein margin (PV-SMVm) or mesenterico-portal vein groove; the superior mesenteric artery margin (SMAm), and the posterior margin.
