Introduction: Current literature supports the claim that performing a cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CPD) as treatment for pancreatic cancer (PC) is associated with an increase in median survival, both in octogenarian (≥80 years) patients as well as younger patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective and comparative trial, comparing results for CPD performed on 30 patients ≥80 years with PC and 159 patients <80 years.
Results: The patients in the octogenarian group showed a significantly higher rate of preoperative cardiovascular morbidity and a more aggressive tumoral behaviour, including more significant preoperative anemia, jaundice and levels of CA 19-9, higher vascular and neural invasion, and a lower rate of R0 resection despite using the same surgical technique.
