BACKGROUND AND AIM: Endoscopic ultrasonography guided-celiac plexus neurolysis relieves pain in patients with pancreatic cancer but with often suboptimal and transient results. The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tumor ethanol ablation combined with celiac plexus neurolysis with respect to celiac plexus neurolysis alone for pain management in patients with pancreatic cancer.
METHODS: Among 123 patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer referred to our Institution between 2006 and 2014, 58 treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (Group 1) and 65 with the combined approach (Group 2) were compared. Logistic regression models were applied to identify predictors of pain relief.
RESULTS: The two groups presented similar baseline clinical and tumoral parameters. Pre-procedural visual analog scale score was 7 in both groups (P = 0.8), and tumor max diameter was 38 mm (range 25-59) in Group 1 and 43 mm (22-59) in Group 2 (P = 0.4). The combined treatment increased pain relief and complete pain response rate (P = 0.005 and 0.003, respectively). Median duration of pain relief was 10 (7-14) and 18 (13-20) weeks in the two groups, respectively (P = 0.004). At multivariate regression, initial visual analog scale score and endoscopic technique adopted resulted significantly associated with pain relief. No severe treatment-related adverse events were reported. Median overall survival was 6.5 months (5.1-8.6) in Group 1 and 8.3 months (6-11.4) in Group 2 (P = 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tumor ablation combined with celiac plexus neurolysis appears to be superior to celiac plexus neurolysis alone in terms of pain control and overall survival.
