Ongoing Failure to Deliver Guideline-Concordant Care for Patients with Pancreatic Cancer
2025
Overview
(1) Background: Comprehensive evaluation of guideline-concordant care (GCC) across all PDAC stages has yet to be thoroughly conducted. This study aimed to characterize treatment patterns and assess factors associated with receiving GCC among patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in California. (2) Methods: Data on adult patients with PDAC were extracted from the California Cancer Registry (2004–2020). GCC is defined according to the recommendations provided by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with receiving GCC. A Cox model was used to examine the association of GCC with overall survival. (3) Results: A total of 50,346 PDAC patients were included (stage 1: 10%; stage 2: 25%; stage 3: 11%; stage 4: 54%). Only 46.7% of all patients received GCC (stage 1: 20%; stage 2: 40%; stage 3: 69%; stage 4: 50%). Only 31% of stage 1 patients underwent surgery. Factors inversely associated with receiving GCC were Hispanic ethnicity (OR 0.78; p < 0.001), Black race (OR 0.74; p < 0.001), having no insurance (OR 0.40; p < 0.001]), and a Charlson–Deyo score of ≥2 (OR 0.68; p < 0.001). Adherence to GCC was associated with improved survival (Hazard Ratio 0.39; p < 0.001). Notably, patients with stage 1 PDAC who received GCC had a median survival of 47 months vs. 8 months for those who did not. (4) Conclusions: Although stage 1 PDAC patients have the greatest potential for survival with GCC, only 20% of patients received such treatment. Thus, it is crucial to identify and address the modifiable factors contributing to these suboptimal care patterns.
