Popis: BACKGROUND: Surgical resection of pancreatic metastasis (PM) is the only reported curative treatment for renal cell carcinoma. However, there is currently little information regarding very long-term survival. The primary objective of this study was to determine the 10-year survival of this condition using the largest surgical series reported to date. METHODS: Between May 1987 and June 2003, we conducted a retrospective study of 62 patients surgically treated for PM from renal cell carcinoma at 12 Franco-Belgian surgical centers. Follow-up ended on May 31, 2012. RESULTS: There were 27 male (44 %) and 35 female (56 %) patients with a median age of 54 years [31-75]. Mean disease-free interval from resection of primary tumor to reoperation for pancreatic recurrence was 9.8 years (median 10 years [0-25]). During a median follow-up of 91 months [12-250], 37 recurrences (60 %) were observed. After surgical resection of repeated recurrences, overall median survival time was 52.6 months versus 11.2 months after nonoperative management (p = 0.019). Cumulative 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 72, 63, and 32 %, respectively. The corresponding disease-free survival rates were 54, 35, and 27 %, respectively. Lymph node involvement and existence of extrapancreatic metastases before PM were associated with poor overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Aggressive surgical management of single or multiple PM, even in cases of extrapancreatic disease, should be considered in selected patients to allow a chance of long-term survival.
