Abstract
The ESPAC-1, ESPAC-1 plus, and early ESPAC-3(v1) results (458 randomized patients; 364 deaths) were used to estimate the effectiveness of adjuvant 5FU/FA vs resection alone for pancreatic cancer using meta-analysis. The pooled hazard ratio of 0.70 (95% CI=0.55–0.88) P=0.003, and the median survival of 23.2 (95% CI=20.1–26.5) months with 5FU/FA vs 16.8 (95% CI=14.3–19.2) months with resection alone supports the use of adjuvant 5FU/FA in pancreatic cancer.Keywords
