Impact of Selection Bias on the Utilization of Adjuvant Therapy for Pancreas Adenocarcinoma
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 10/26/09

Russ AJ et al. – One–third of patients in this contemporary dataset of patients did not go on to receive adjuvant therapy. The likelihood of receiving adjuvant treatment is negatively impacted by the course of postoperative recovery. Moreover, the fact that adjuvant therapy was undertaken less often for older patients and patients with favorable pathological features highlights the selection bias impacting the decision to pursue postoperative therapy for this disease. This selective utilization of postoperative therapy for patients with adverse oncological characteristics is likely to bias any retrospective analysis attempting to measure the efficacy of adjuvant treatment for pancreas adenocarcinoma.
