Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pancreatic cancer mainly affects the elderly, with over 85% of patients diagnosed after the age of 60 and over half after the age of 70. In France, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is currently around 14,000 new cases per year, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women and the fifth in men.

Surgery is currently the only curative option available to patients, but it is not an option for many patients who already have metastatic or locally advanced cancer at the time of diagnosis. The main studies carried out on this type of intervention in the elderly focus on the surgical aspect, and the tolerability of such surgery is not well studied.

The aim of this study is to describe the impact of pancreatic surgery on the independence in daily activities and quality of life of patients aged over 70 with pancreatic cancer. These patients underwent surgery at Édouard Herriot Hospital (Hospices Civils de Lyon) since July 2021, and the assessment will be conducted through telephone questionnaires.

It is hypothesised that these patients will be able to maintain their independence in terms of daily activities.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients over 70 undergoing pancreatic cancer surgery at the Édouard Herriot Hospital.

This is a non-comparative study, in which all subjects with histologically proven pancreatic cancer (all types) on biopsy or surgical specimen, operated on for this cancer (by cephalic duodenopancreatectomy or left pancreatectomy) at the Édouard Herriot Hospital since July 2021, aged 70 or older at the time of surgery, will be included in the same group.

Phone call

Intervention Type OTHER

The only follow-up visit provided for in the protocol was a telephone contact 3 to 30 months after the patient's surgery. The rest of the data required for the study were obtained from the patient's medical records, collected in the course of routine practice.
