- Study used TriNetX data to compare survival outcomes of resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by tumor location.
- Head tumors had higher 30-day mortality (2.3% vs. 0.9%) and increased sepsis risk compared to body/tail tumors.
- Long-term mortality was greater for head tumors (39.8% vs. 31.6%), with median survival shorter (1131 vs. 2020 days).
- Findings indicate tumor location is an independent prognostic factor, supporting location-specific treatment strategies.
