OBJECTIVE: To describe long-term quality of life (QOL) and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer in the modern era.
BACKGROUND: As advances in pancreatic cancer management improve outcomes, it is essential to assess long-term patient-reported outcomes after surgery.
METHODS: Patients who underwent curative intent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer between January 2011 and June 2019 from a single center were identified. Patients alive ≥3 years after surgery were considered long-term survivors (LTS). LTS who were alive in June 2022 received a 55-question survey to assess their QOL (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and GI symptoms (EORTC-PAN26 and Problem Areas in Diabetes Questionnaire). Responses were compared against population norms. Clinicodemographic characteristics in LTS versus non-LTS and survey completion were compared.
RESULTS: Six hundred seventy-two patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer; 340 were LTS. One hundred thirty-seven patients of the 238 eligible to complete the survey responded (response rate: 58%). Compared to the US general population, LTS reported significantly higher QOL (75 vs 64; P <0.001), less nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, and constipation, but more diarrhea (all P <0.001). Most patients (n=136/137, 99%) reported experiencing postoperative GI symptoms related to pancreatic insufficiency (n=71/135, 53%), reflux (n=61/135, 45%), and delayed gastric emptying (n=31/136, 23%). Most patients (n=113/136, 83%) reported that digestive symptoms overall had little to no impact on QOL, and 91% (n=124/136) would undergo surgery again.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite known long-term complications following pancreatoduodenectomy, cancer survivors appear to have excellent QOL. Specific long-term gastrointestinal symptoms data should be utilized for preoperative education and follow-up planning.
