Summary: | In recent years, new treatment options have become available for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) including 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan and oxaliplatin. The impact hereof has not been assessed in nationwide cohort studies. This population-based study aimed to investigate nationwide trends in incidence, treatment and survival of PDAC.
Patients with PDAC (1997–2016) were included from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Results were categorised by treatment and by period of diagnosis (1997–2000, 2001–2004, 2005–2008, 2009–2012 and 2013–2016). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to calculate overall survival.
In a national cohort of 36,453 patients with PDAC, the incidence increased from 12.1 (1997–2000) to 15.3 (2013–2016) per 100,000 (p |
