396 3 HEPATOBILIARY AND PANCREAS CANCER
https://t.me/medicina_free
The deliverability of chemotherapy may be more feasible in the neoadjuvant setting, as shown in the phase 2 AGITG GAP study with 93% of patients completing two cycles of neoadju­vant chemotherapy with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, com­pared to 63% of patients who completed all four cycles of postoperative chemotherapy (Barbour et al. 2020). Achieving an R0 resection translated to an increase in mOS of a further 10 months compared to an R1 resection.
To date, there is no Phase III RCT data supporting the use of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable pancreatic can­cer. It should only be considered in the setting of a clinical trial.
Summary of Indications for Neoadjuvant therapy
Resectable
• Neoadjuvant therapy remains unproven and should be explored
within clinical trials.
Borderline resectable
• Neoadjuvant therapy should be recommended.
• The recommended chemotherapy regimens are (m)FOLFIRINOX, or
gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel.
• Neoadjuvant CRT has the most compelling mature randomized data
with an improved OS and R0 resection rate.
Locally advanced
• Consider enrolling the patient in a clinical trial
• 20–30% of patients who undergo neoadjuvant therapy may convert
to surgical resection
• Chemotherapy, chemoradiation, or a combination can be considered
status or comorbidities which would limit multi-agent chemo­therapy, gemcitabine monotherapy is preferred. If a patient is unsuitable for platinum-based chemotherapy, such as the presence of peripheral neuropathy, then the combination of gemcitabine and capecitabine is used.

Adjuvant Therapy
For all patients who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy, the current guidelines, including ASCO (Khorana et al. 2019), ESMO (Ducreux et al. 2015), and NCCN (Tempero et al. 2021) recommend six months of adjuvant therapy. These are summa­rized in the Table below. A new baseline CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis post-surgery, and CA19.9 measurement should be performed. If metastatic disease is not identified, then adjuvant therapy is recommended, and should commence within 12 weeks of surgical resection. The preferred options are for adjuvant chemotherapy, or a combination of chemotherapy ± chemoradiation. As completion of six months of adjuvant chemotherapy is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, so adequate time should be given for the patient to recover from surgery but still commence within the 12-week window (Valle et al. 2014). The options for chemotherapy include modified FOLFIRNOX (Conroy et al. 2018), gem­citabine/capecitabine (Neoptolemos et al. 2017), or gem­citabine monotherapy (Oettle et al. 2013) [see Table below]. FOLFIRINOX is suitable for patients with an excellent performance status. If a patient has a borderline performance
In Australia, modified FOLFIRINOX tends to be used over standard FOLFIRINOX (Conroy et al. 2018). Of note, the trial included patients up to age 79 in the mFOLFIRINOX arm, with 19% of patients aged 70 or over. There was no difference in adverse events from treatment between the treatment arms in older patients (age ≥70 years).
The evidence for combination gemcitabine and capecitabine comes from the ESPAC-4 trial (Neoptolemos et al. 2017). Five-year OS data showed 28% overall survival with gem­citabine/capecitabine compared with 20% in the gemcitabine only arm [HR 0.84; 95% CI, 0.70 – 0.99; p=0.049]. Adjuvant gemcitabine doubles OS with gemcitabine (20.7%) compared to observation (10.4%) (Oettle et al. 2013) at 5 years, and the benefit is maintained at 10 years (OS 12.2% GEM v 7.7% OBS).
The use of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine in the adjuvant setting was evaluated in APACT. This study did not meet its primary end point of DFS as assessed by independent review (Reni et al.
2019). The authors commented that the DFS in the gemcitabine arm was higher than historical controls, and the use of inde­pendently assessed as opposed to investigator assessed end­points may have had an impact.

There is no conclusive evidence for adjuvant therapy in patients who received neoadjuvant therapy, with no RCT show­ing that further chemotherapy beyond six months of neoadju­vant or perioperative chemotherapy has any benefit. Chemoradiation for those patients with a positive R1 resection margin and/or positive lymph node after preoperative therapy can be considered (Khorana et al. 2019) but there is no randomized evidence supporting this approach.
Other Considerations for Systemic Therapy
The most common mutations in familial pancreatic cancer are BRCA1 and BRCA2, detected in 2–3% (Petersen 2016; Young et al. 2018) of patients with pancreas cancer, with higher rates seen in patients of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage (Pilarski 2019). Recent data suggests platinum sensitivity of BRCA-mutated PDAC (Kowalewski et al. 2018).
The use of a PARPi as maintenance treatment has been eval­uated in a phase 3 trial for patients with PDAC associated with a germline BRCA mutation (POLO – (Golan et al. 2019)). In this trial, after an initial response of at least stable disease to upfront platinum-based chemotherapy of at least 16 weeks’ duration; patients were randomized to receive either Olaparib or placebo. Patients in the Olaparib arm had a higher PFS of 7.4 months compared with 3.8 months in patients who received placebo (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.35, 0.82; p = 0.004), however there was no significant difference in median OS at median 31-month follow-up – 19.0 months in the olaparib arm compared to 19.2 months with placebo (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.56, 1.22; p = 0.3487).
A combination approach of a PARPi with chemotherapy in the upfront setting for advanced PDAC (Stage III/IV) was
evaluated with veliparib in the phase II trial with gemcitabine and capecitabine. There was no statistically significant benefit to the addition of veliparib to chemotherapy (O’Reilly et al.
2020). An emerging option is the combination of PARPi with ICI
which has shown promising results in a proof-of-concept study (Lampert et al. 2020). The combination of Olaparib with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab as maintenance therapy after platinum based chemotherapy is being evaluated in a randomized phase II trial SWOG S2001 [NCT04548752].
Metastatic Disease
It is important to discuss the goals of care at the outset of a patient diagnosed with metastatic PDAC and early referral to palliative care service is recommended. Enrolment in a clinical trial should be considered for all patients deemed suitable by the treating clinician. Other considerations include performance status, patient preference for systemic therapy, cancer-related symptoms, comorbidities, impact of disease on quality of life and psychological status, and support systems (Sohal et al. 2016). A suggested treatment algorithm is shown in Figure 2. Best supportive care is rec­ommended for patients with a poor performance status (ECOG PS 3) and comorbidities which impact treatment, but systemic therapy can be considered for individual patients. Biliary obstruction should be relieved with stenting as required, and adequate liver function is required for administration of systemic therapy. Many published studies allow bilirubin levels up to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (Conroy et al. 2011). The use of immune checkpoint

inhibitors and NTRK inhibitors are discussed in the previous section (Other considerations for systemic therapy).
For patients with comorbidities impacting treatment or ECOG PS 2, either gemcitabine monotherapy (Burris et al. 1997), capecitabine or infusional 5-fluourouacil can be used as per the NCCN (Tempero et al. 2021) and ESMO Guidelines (Ducreux et al. 2015). In certain cases, such as young patients with ECOG PS 2 and no comorbidities, a more intensive regimen may be con­sidered as per the clinician’s discretion. FOLFIRINOX (or modi­fied FOLFIRINOX) should be offered to patients with a good performance status (ECOG PS 0 or 1) and well-controlled comorbidities (Conroy et al. 2011). Median OS was greater in patients who received FOLFIRINOX (11.1 months v 6.8 months) compared to gemcitabine [HR 0.57; 95% CI, 0.45 – 0.73; p=0.001]. Of note, only patients up to age 75 were enrolled in this study so the use of FOLFIRINOX/mFOLFIRINOX in older patients should be carefully considered. Gemcitabine/cisplatin can be considered for patients with a BRCA1/2 or PALB2 muta­tion as an alternate platinum containing regimen.
An alternative first-line therapy is gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (Von Hoff et al. 2013). In this study, median overall survival was greater for patients who received gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel compared with patients who received gemcitabine alone (8.5 months vs 6.7 months) [HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.62 to 0.83; p=0.001]. Common Grade 3/4 toxicities include neutropenia, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, febrile neutropenia, and diarrhea.
Based on expert consensus recommendations, patients who received FOLFIRINOX as first-line treatment can be offered gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel as second-line therapy, and vice versa, as long as their performance status and comorbidities allow further systemic therapy (Sohal et al. 2016). Other sec­ond line therapies can be offered to patients with an adequate performance status allowing further systemic therapy (ECOG PS 2). Selected patients who have progression at single sites may benefit from chemoradiation (Tempero et al. 2021).
Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy may be considered for patients with MSI-H/dMMR pancreatic cancer (Marabelle et al.
2020). On the basis of the results of basket trials, larotrectinib (Drilon et al. 2018), and entrectinib (Doebele et al. 2020) have been approved for patients with NTRK gene fusions. As there is currently no evidence guiding duration of therapy, this should be guided by patient preference for continued systemic therapy, response to treatment, and toxicity of therapy (Sohal et al. 2016).
Radiation Therapy
Stephen R. Thompson
The only curative treatment for pancreatic cancer is surgery, but as discussed above, only 20–30% of patients will have resectable disease (Butturini et al. 2008). The role of radiation therapy (RT) is controversial, and can be classified as definitive
for locally advanced disease, neoadjuvant or adjuvant in addition to surgery, or palliative for medically unfit patients or in the presence of metastatic disease (Tempero et al. 2021). Each of these will be outlined below, including a summary of the highest quality data available, RT approaches, and results.
Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
For those patients with LAPC, the mainstay of management is with palliative chemotherapy (Tempero et al. 2021). Data regarding the potential additional benefit of adding RT has been confounded by a lack of high quality randomized evi­dence, with those few randomized studies that have been per­formed being antiquated and/or underpowered (Hazel et al. 1981; Klaassen et al. 1985; Loehrer et al. 2011) or detrimental with irradiation that was too toxic (60Gy with concurrent cisplatin/5FU) (Chauffert et al. 2008). One large, modern trial has been conducted: LAP07 (Hammel et al. 2016), showing that after 16 weeks of induction gemcitabine (allowing time for the potential early development of metastatic disease), chemo­radiotherapy with capecitabine (830mg/m2 BD on RT days) to 54Gy in 30 fractions targeting the gross tumor only, compared to continuing gemcitabine, resulted in a small benefit: reduced local progression (32% versus 46%, p=0.03), borderline significant improvement in progression-free survival (9.9 months versus 8.4 months, p=0.06) with similar toxicity except increased G3-4 nausea (5.9% vs 0%, p=0.008). Thus, for LAPC, options include systemic treatment alone or the addition of chemoradiotherapy after chemotherapy. It may be that with better hematogenous disease control with more effective systemic treatment (Suker et al. 2016), the addition of RT may be more important in achieving local control.
Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
Neoadjuvant treatment potentially reduces the significant risks of positive margins and local and distant recurrence, and avoids futile surgery by identification of early development of meta­static disease (Toesca et al. 2018). Two small randomized phase II studies (Golcher et al. 2015; Jang et al. 2018) and a Phase III study (Versteijne et al. 2020) have shown that for BRPC, neoad­juvant chemoradiotherapy reduces the rate of positive margins and improves local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival (17.6 versus 13.2 months, p=0.029). The data does not however prove that RT is an essential component of the neoad­juvant treatment. Our approach for fit patients is to treat with neoadjuvant modified FOLFIRINOX 4–8 cycles, and if insuffi­cient response then RT 45 Gy in 25 fractions (often with simul­taneous integrated boost to 50 Gy to sites of threatened margins along vessels) with concurrent capecitabine 830 mg/m2 BD on RT days (Tempero et al. 2021) aiming to achieve resectability with negative margins.
20 MANAGEMENT OF PRIMARY PANCREATIC CANCER 399

Resected Pancreatic Cancer
Randomized trials regarding potential benefits of adjuvant RT are confounded by underpowering (Van Laethem et al. 2010) or antiquated toxic RT negatively impacting on adjuvant che­motherapy delivery and thus survival (Neoptolemos et al.
2004). Adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival and should be prioritized (Conroy et al. 2018). However, between ¼ and ½ of patients will develop loco-regional recurrence (Conroy et al. 2018, Jones et al. 2019), with associated morbidity such as pain, bleeding, or obstruction and with resulting survival being as poor as for patients that develop metastatic disease (Jones et al.
2019). This provides a rationale for adding adjuvant RT which reduces local recurrence (Van Laethem et al. 2010) and by extrapolation from neoadjuvant trials (Versteijne et al. 2020) may thereby improve overall survival. We recommend adju­vant chemotherapy for 4–6 months, re-stage, and if no distant disease offer selected patients adjuvant chemoradiotherapy to 45 Gy in 25 fractions (with simultaneous integrated boost to 50 Gy to sites of close margins along vessels) with concurrent capecitabine 830 mg/m2 BD on RT days (Tempero et al. 2021).
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
SBRT is an RT technique that precisely applies high doses of hypofractionated RT to small volumes and has shown prom­ising results for LAPC (Petrelli et al. 2017) and for BRPC (Mellon et al. 2015). The addition of SABR to chemotherapy did not improve outcomes in BRPC in the Alliance randomized phase II trial (Katz et al. 2021). For both BRPC and LAPC this approach is being tested in the MASTERPLAN randomized phase II trial (Oar et al. 2021).
Palliative Radiotherapy
Locally uncontrolled disease commonly causes symptoms including pain, bleeding, or obstruction (Tempero et al. 2021). Short courses of palliative radiotherapy utilizing schedules such as 8 Gy times 1–3 fractions (Ebrahimi et al. 2018) or 25 Gy in 5 frac­tions (Wang et al. 2018) usually achieve improvement in pain (66% and 79% respectively) and are relatively well tolerated with commonest toxicities being mild acute nausea (51% and 30%) and pain flare (33% and 21%). Palliative radiotherapy may also be used for symptomatic sites of metastatic disease (Tempero et al. 2021).
Palliative Medicine
Jessica AL Borbasi & Rebecca Strutt
Quality of life and timely referral to specialized Palliative Medicine is of paramount importance for patients with pancreatic cancer (Sohal et al. 2016). Nearly all patients with pancreatic cancer report pain, and of these the majority have
moderate to severe pain (Lohse and Brothers 2020; Westermann et al. 2019). Pain is caused by perineural invasion of the coeliac plexus, tumor obstruction of the main pancreatic duct, bowel or gastric outlet obstruction, infiltrative or metastatic pain (liver and peritoneum), surgical pain, and ascites (Drewes et al. 2018; Lohse and Brothers 2020). The pain is nociceptive, somatic, neuropathic, and visceral in nature (Lohse and Brothers 2020), and inadequate pain management can interfere with quality of life impairing activity and emotions (Damm etal. 2020).
The initial management of pain should follow the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) analgesic pain ladder with the use of regular paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents – unless pre-existing conditions pre­clude their use (Drewes et al. 2018). Given the severity of pain many patients require opioids (Zylberberg et al. 2022). Clinician expertise can overcome common fears regarding the use of opi­oids, and neuropathic agents should also be considered such as gabapentinoids or duloxetine (Lee et al. 2021; Reid et al. 2008). Non-opioid options include radiotherapy and nerve blocks (Buwenge et al. 2018; Wang et al. 2018). The pancreas is inner­vated by the coeliac plexus; the pancreatic tail also has innerva­tion from the splenic plexus (Bapat et al. 2011). Direct perineural invasion occurs in the majority of patients causing typical epi­gastric and back pain (Bapat et al. 2011). Neurolytic blocks are recommended for patients with uncontrolled pancreatic pain despite opioids or those experiencing unacceptable opioid side effects (Amr and Makharita, 2013; Drewes et al. 2018).
Coeliac Plexus Block (CPB) and Coeliac Plexus Neurolysis (CPN) are often used interchangeably but a block is a transient interruption of pain transmission, usually with a local anes­thetic without causing permanent nerve damage, whereas neurolysis is generally considered to be permanent procedure (Sachdev and Gress 2018). Neurolysis can be achieved via chemical (alcohol or phenol) or thermal (radiofrequency ablation-RFA) techniques. CPN can be performed via sur­gical splanchnectomy, percutaneously (PQ)-CPN, or via an endoscopic ultrasound guide (EUS)-CPN. A meta-analysis showed that CPN improved analgesia and decreased opioid– induced adverse effects in comparison with conventional analgesic treatment (Mercadante et al. 2015). Regarding the method of neurolysis, a small randomized single blinded study showed that EUS-RFA provided more pain relief over EUS­CPN (chemical) and improved the quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer (Bang et al. 2019). However, there is not enough evidence currently to recommend EUS-RFA over EUS-CPN. It is important not to indicate to patients that they will be able to stop opioids completely after CPN. The most common side effects are orthostatic hypotension and diar­rhea, but complications are rare (Nagels et al. 2013). Patients with disease at the head of the pancreas are more likely to respond positively to CPN compared to patients with disease

https://t.me/medicina_free
in the body or tail of the pancreas (Rykowski and Hilgier
2000). In addition patients with more locally advanced dis­ease or metastatic disease are less likely to respond, possibly due to more pain mechanisms being involved (Rykowski and Hilgier 2000).
As such, there is good quality evidence demonstrating the analgesic efficacy of CPN but limited data regarding the tech­nique of choice (Mercadante et al. 2015). However, CPN has not been shown to consistently improve quality of life, improve survival, or reduce opioid consumption (Nagels et al. 2013; Wong et al. 2004) . Nonetheless, interventional techniques such as CPN have been described as a fourth step in the WHO anal­gesic pain ladder; these procedures may be necessary for patients with severe pain (Pergolizzi and Raffa 2014). Most patients receive partial or complete symptomatic relief up until their death (Kawamata et al. 1996). Clinicians should refer to interventional radiologists or pain specialists to ascertain what procedures are available locally.
Pain is not the only burdensome symptom in this group who also suffer nausea, anorexia, depression, fatigue, dry mouth, cachexia, maldigestion, and other symptoms from pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (Labori et al. 2006). Palliative Medicine is well placed to address these physical burdens as well as patient’s psychosocial and spiritual needs (WHO). Care extends to families including partners of patients with pancreatic can­cer. Caregivers are known to carry a high psychological burden and have an increased risk of depression requiring medications (Dengsø et al. 2021).
Early palliative care results in fewer inappropriate admissions to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the end of life and fewer pre­sentations to the Emergency Department (ED). These patients tended to be female and older (Bevins et al. 2021). A Canadian study showed that provision of inpatient or outpatient Palliative Care was associated with a reduction in all four measures of aggressive care near death (chemotherapy, ICU admissions, multiple ED visits, and hospitalizations), compared to patients who did not receive Palliative Care. Also, as the frequency of Palliative Care consultations rose, the likelihood of inappro­priate interventions fell (Jang et al. 2015). This supports referral at the time of diagnosis (Sohal et al. 2016).
Summary
Omali Pitiyarachchi & David Goldstein
Patients with pancreatic cancer have a poor prognosis and are often diagnosed late with advanced disease due to vague pre­senting symptoms. When a pancreatic tumor is suspected, prompt investigation is recommended to make a tissue diag­nosis. Patients should be referred to a recognized sub-specialty MDT with the capability of managing patients with pancreatic tumors. Network MDTs can be used to include clinicians from
more regional centers or centers without the subspecialty exper­tise, to provide multimodality therapy options for all patients.
Some patients may proceed straight to resection, but confir­mation of malignancy is required for patients with metastatic disease, and for patients where neoadjuvant therapy is being considered. A dual phase contrast enhanced computed tomog­raphy is the preferred imaging modality to evaluate resect­ability, and should be performed within four weeks of diagnosis (Imaging section). Patients are categorized as having resect­able, borderline resectable, locally advanced and metastatic dis­ease depending on the extent of tumor spread, and the anatomic, biological, and conditional factors as outlined in the Surgical section of this chapter. The only chance of a cure is with surgical resection, so it is important to consider neoadju­vant therapy for patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced disease. As outlined in the Systemic therapy and Radiation sections, neoadjuvant therapy can convert patients with unresectable disease at diagnosis to potentially resectable. Consider enrolling patients into a clinical trial if possible.
The mainstay of systemic therapy is with chemotherapy, but in special cases such as patients with MSI-H/dMMR or NTRK gene fusions, more targeted treatment could be considered. All patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but especially those with unresectable and metastatic disease, should be referred to Palliative Care early in the diagnosis. It is important to con­sider the burden on caregivers.
There have been some small gains in outcomes over the past few years and the impact of best practice adjuvant and neoad­juvant therapy is likely to lead to additional gains. However, it is still a very poor outcome cancer with an unacceptably high mortality to incidence ratio.
