Surgical treatment as an increase in the survival of patients with liver oligometastasis of ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Patient selection criteria. Review

The work is based on the analysis of the literature data on the problems of treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, identifying a group of patients with more favorable treatment prognosis. The objectives of this review are to study diagnostic criteria, to determine the optimal algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with oligometastatic pancreatic disease. According to the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) in the world, in 2020 the incidence of pancreatic cancer among men and women was about 7.2 and 5.0 per 100 thousand, with a mortality rate of 6.7 and 4.6 %, respectively [1]. At the same time, in most cases, the disease is diagnosed at stage IIIIV, so the results of treatment remain unsatisfactory, 2/3 of patients die within 1 year after the diagnosis is made. The "gold standard" for the treatment of this group of patients today is only systemic antitumor therapy according to the FOLFRINOX regimen, in which the average overall survival is about 11.1 months. Thanks to the development of ideas about the mechanisms of tumor progression, the improvement of diagnostic methods and antitumor treatment, the concept of oligometastatic disease has appeared and is being actively studied. According to the current theory, this group of patients with stage IV tumors can potentially have a better prognosis. The analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature is carried out. According to scientific studies, careful selection and implementation of combined treatment can significantly increase the survival rate of this group of patients. Based on numerous studies, some authors have proposed optimal algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with oligometastatic pancreatic disease.
