435 Background: Pancreatic cancer patients with liver metastases had much poorer prognosis than those with other metastatic patterns. This study aimed to develop and validate a radiomics model to discriminate pancreatic cancer patients with liver metastases from patients with other metastatic patterns. Methods: We evaluated 77 patients advanced pancreatic cancer (APC) with different metastatic patterns and performed texture analysis on the region of interest (ROI). 58 patients and 19 patients were allocated randomly into the training cohort and the validation cohort with almost the same proportion of patients with liver metastases. An independent samples t-test was used for initial feature selection in the training cohort. Random Forest Classifier (RFC) was used to construct models based on these features in both cohorts and a radiomics signature (RS) was derived from the model. Then a nomogram was constructed based on RS and CA19-9, and validated with calibration plot and decision curve. The prognostic value of RS was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier methods. Results: A nomogram based on the RS and CA19-9 was constructed and it demonstrated good discrimination in the training cohort (AUC = 0.93) and validation cohort (AUC = 0.81). Kaplan-meier methods showed that patients with RS>0.61 had much poorer OS than patients with RS < 0.61 in both cohorts. Conclusions:This study presents a radiomics nomogram incorporating both RS and CA19-9, which can be used to discriminate advanced pancreatic cancer patients with liver metastases from patients with other metastatic patterns.

326 Background: It is well known that locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients have a poor prognosis. Recently, hematologic markers showing systemic inflammatory status such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have aroused much attention due to its potential to predict patient survival. In this study, we investigated whether pre-treatment NLR and PLR independently and in combination would be significant prognostic factors for survival in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: A total of 497 locally advanced (borderline resectable and unresectable) pancreatic cancer patients who received neoadjuvant or definitive chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) between January 2005 and December 2015 were included in this study. NLR and PLR prior to the start of treatment within 2 weeks were defined as pre-treatment NLR and PLR. We divided the patients with the median values of pre-treatment NLR and PLR; NLR < 2.44 group (n = 248), NLR ≥ 2.44 group (n = 249), PLR < 149 group (n = 248) and PLR ≥ 149 (n = 249) group. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between each group for NLR and PLR. Results: Median overall survival was 15.7 months (range, 2.3-128.5 months). For NLR, the OS, PFS rates were significantly lower in the NLR ≥ 2.44 group, with 1-year OS rates of 67.9% and 61.5% (p = 0.003) and 1-year PFS rates of 38.1% and 32.4% (p = 0.003), for NLR < 2.44 and ≥ 2.44 group, respectively. The PLR ≥ 149 group also showed significantly poorer OS and PFS than PLR < 149 group. The 1-year OS rates were 68.1% and 61.3% (p = 0.029) and 1-year PFS rates were 37.9% and 32.5% (p = 0.027), for PLR < 149 and ≥ 149 group, respectively. When multivariate analysis was performed, NLR ≥ 2.44 remained as a significant adverse factor for OS (p = 0.011) and PFS (p = 0.026). PLR > 149 also proved to be a significant factor for poorer OS (p = 0.003) and PFS (p = 0.021). Conclusions: Elevated pre-treatment NLR and PLR independently and in combination significantly predicted poor OS and PFS. Pre-treatment NLR and PLR are useful prognostic factors for OS and PFS in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients.

e15713 Background: Remnant pancreatic volume (RPV) is a well-known marker for short-term outcomes in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. However, in terms of the long-term outcomes, the significance of the RPV remains unclear. Here, we addressed whether the RPV is a predictor of long-term outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients by comparing various cancer-, patient-, and surgery-related prognostic factors and systemic inflammatory response markers in a retrospective cohort. Methods: The RPV was measured on the 3D image, revealing the actual pancreatic parenchymal remnant volume. Ninety-one patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) were retrospectively enrolled. We divided the cohort into high- and low-RPV groups based on a cut-off value ( > 35.5 cm3, n = 66 and ≤ 35.5 cm3, n = 25, respectively). The patient characteristics, perioperative outcomes and median survival times (MSTs) were respectively compared between the two groups. Using multivariate analysis, the RPV and other well-known prognostic factors were independently assessed. Results: A significant difference in the RPV value was observed with respect to the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (high, 18 [55%] vs. low, 9 [16%], p < 0.001). The MSTs (days) were significantly different between the two groups (high, 823 vs. low, 482, p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified the RPV (≤ 31.5 cm3) (hazard ratio [HR], 2.015; p = 0.011), lymph node metastasis (HR, 8.415; p = 0.002), adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 5.352; p < 0.001), presence of stage III/IV disease (HR, 2.352; p = 0.029), and pathological fibrosis (HR, 1.771; p = 0.031) as independent prognostic factors. Conclusions: The present study suggests that the RPV is an additional useful predictor of both long-term and short-term outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients after PD.
