Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0

Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0. The most common grade 1-2 non-hematologic and hematologic toxicities were collected for this outcome.

Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0. The most common grade 3-4 non-hematologic and hematologic toxicities were collected for this outcome.

DFS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to relapse or death, whichever occurred first.

OS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up.

Region of Enrollment

-There are some staging differences between biliary tract cancer, pancreatic cancer, and ampullary cancer but general staging information is listed below:

* Stage I (best outcome) and Stage II means that there is only cancer in the primary site with no spread to local lymph nodes or spread to other sites of the body.
* Stage III means that the cancer is in the primary site, possibly in nerves and blood vessels around the primary site, and may be in nearby lymph nodes.
* Stage IV means that the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body (worst outcome)

Overall stage

Pancreatic cancer

Biliary tract cancer

Ampullary cancer

Disease type

* T describes the size of the main (primary) tumor and whether it has grown outside the primary site and into nearby organs.
* T1 is generally associated with a better outcome and the outcome generally worsens as you increase the T number

T-stage

N describes the spread to nearby (regional) lymph nodes.

X: Nearby (regional) lymph nodes cannot be assessed.

N0: The cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes.

N1: The cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.

N-stage

Well

Moderate

Poor

Not reported

Well-differentiated cancer cells look more like normal cells and tend to grow and spread more slowly than poorly differentiated or undifferentiated cancer cells.

Differentiation

Not Reported

Lymphovascular involvement

40-100

>100

* Generally the higher the CA19-9 level the more the cancer is growing
* High CA 19-9 levels can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions such as gallstones, a blockage of the bile duct (jaundice), pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and liver disease.
