%X UNASSIGNED: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive human tumor that is typically diagnosed at a later stage when surgery is not possible.
UNASSIGNED: We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a solitary hepatic lesion and a pancreatic body lesion. The pancreatic body lesion was biopsied endoscopically, and a tissue diagnosis was obtained to confirm the diagnosis of PDAC. She was then treated with 12 cycles of FOLFIRINOX with stable disease on CT. Due to the history of a hepatic lesion, she received 11 cycles of gemcitabine/Abraxane and a combination of a MEK inhibitor, Mekinist, and a BRAF inhibitor, BRAFTOVI. Subsequently, the patient underwent a liver biopsy. The biopsy result was negative, and the tumor was deemed resectable. The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy. Surgical pathology demonstrated a 1.1-cm low-grade papillary mucinous neoplasm with negative margins and lymph nodes, staged T0N0. Adjuvant chemotherapy was not administered.
UNASSIGNED: To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who received prolonged IV and oral chemotherapy. At the time of the operation, the pathological stage was T0N0. The patient has recently been seen 9 months after surgery with no evidence cancer recurrence. Additionally, ctDNA remains negative.
