Impact of radiation and surgery for intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct: A population-based analysis.

363 Background: Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the Bile Duct (IPNB), either in-situ or invasive, is a histological variant with better prognosis then the more common adenocarcinoma. This study’s purpose is to use the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to evaluate prognostic factors: histology, stage, location, extent of surgery and the use of radiation therapy (RT). Methods: Cases from 1973-2011 were acquired. Inclusion criteria included intrahepatic (IHD), extrahepatic bile duct (EHD) or ampulla of vater (AoV) locations, first primary, extent of surgery and RT history. Kaplan-Meier and Log-Rank methods measured overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DSS) in months (m) and their medians (MOS, MDSS). Cox multivariate regression computed hazard ratios (HR) controlling for stage, treatment, surgical extent and histology. Results: . For non-invasive cases, 14% were IPNB (n = 31). Survival was similar for EHD & AoV cases. Surgery was associated with prolonged MOS of 120m...
