2014 
305 Background: FOLFIRINOX, one of the gold standard in metastatic pancreatic cancer as first-line therapy for patients under 76 years with PS 0-1, good haematological and renal function and a subnormal bilirubin level (Prodige 4 criteria), was analysed in Brittany (B) and Pays de la Loire (PL) in routine clinical practice. Methods: Our aim is to evaluate the use of Folfirinox between July 2010 and December 2012 in B/PL. Results: Data of 340 patients have been studied (198 men, median age 63 years [29-81]). 208 patients were metastatic at diagnosis (liver 67%). 62 primary tumors were resected and 51 patients had received previous adjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine, n=48). The median progression free survival PFS and overall survival OS were respectively 6.80 months IC95% [6.18-7.43] and 10.97 months IC 95% [9.56-11.83]. Patients could be divided into 4 groups : Group 1 composed of patients treated according to Prodige 4 trial (n=242), Group 2 1st line metastatic patients with at least one Prodige 4 non-el...
