Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients (pts) with BRPC/LAPC and histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma evaluated at Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion from January 2011-December 2016. Clinical and pathological variables at diagnosis and treatment were recorded. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-rank test.

Symptoms at diagnosis: 79% abdominal pain, 76% weight loss, 55% jaundice. ECOG performance status (PS): 0 (17%), 1 (69%) and 2 (14%). Main location was pancreatic head (76%). Median laboratory values: total bilirubin 1.04 m...
