註釋Abstract: Due to increasing life expectancy and improved diagnostic sensitivity, a growing number of older patients are presenting with resectable pancreatic disease entities and are being evaluated for surgery. Intended as an internal quality control for patient selection, we aimed at evaluating septuagenarians and octogenarians compared with patients younger than 70 years of age regarding early postoperative outcome in general, and long-term oncologic outcome in the case of resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A total number of 1231 patients who underwent pancreatic resection for any entity between 2007 and 2019 at our tertiary university medical center in Germany were retrospectively analyzed, accessing a prospectively maintained database. Participants were divided into three groups based on age (70 years: N = 761; 70-79 years: N = 385; 80-89 years: N = 85) and were evaluated with regard to perioperative variables, postoperative morbidity, mortality and overall survival for the subgroup of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Pancreatic resection in older individuals was not infrequent. When surgery was performed for carcinoma, patients 70 years of age even constituted almost half of the cases. In spite of increased American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA)-scores and more frequent comorbidities in older patients, similar rates for postoperative morbidity and mortality were observed in all age groups. A significant disparity in the use of (neo-) adjuvant therapy between younger and older pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients was detected. However, median overall survival did not significantly differ between all age groups (
