The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor, even in those patients who had underwent surgery, the 5-year survival is still less than 10%. Current guidelines recommend Gemcitabine monotherapy for R0 resection of pancreatic cancer. Inflammation plays an critical role in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. Here we intend to assess the synergistic effect of using celecoxib in combination with gemcitabine on the treatment of R0 resection of pancreatic cancer.
We choose those patients who had underwent the R0 resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients, and divided them into two groups randomly, one group patients were given gemcitabine only according the current guidelines, while the other group patients were given gemcitabine combined with the anti-inflammation agent Celecoxib. The disease free survivals, drugs related side effects, overall survivals and other endpoints events were recorded and analyzed, to assess the celecoxib could or couldn't synergist the gemcitabine anti tumor effect on R0 resection pancreatic cancer patients.
