description Abstract Objective To investigate the prognostic prediction of a new indicator, combined by tumor grade and Ki-67, in patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods Data were retrospectively collected from consecutive patients who underwent primary resection of pancreas from December 2012 to December 2017. Tumor grade and Ki-67 were reviewed from routine pathological reports. G-Ki67 was classified as three categories as I (G1/2 and Ki-67 < 40%), II (G1/2 and Ki-67 ≥ 40%), and III(G3/4 and all Ki-67). Results Cox regression analyses revealed that tumor stage (II vs. I: hazard ratio (HR), 3.781; 95% confidence index (CI), 2.844–5.025; P < 0.001; III vs. I: HR, 7.476; 95% CI, 5.481–10.20; P < 0.001) and G-Ki67 (II vs. I: HR, 1.299; 95% CI, 1.038–1.624; P = 0.022; III vs. I: HR, 1.942; 95% CI, 1.477–2.554; P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors in the developing cohort. The result was rectified in the validation cohort. In subgroups analysis, G-Ki67 (II vs. I: HR, 1.866 ; 95% CI, 1.045–3.334; P = 0.035; III vs. I: HR, 2.333 ; 95% CI, 1.156–4.705; P = 0.018) also had a high differentiation for survival prediction. Conclusion Our findings indicate that three-categories of G-Ki67 in resectable PDAC according to the routine pathological descriptions provided additional prognostic information complementary to the TNM staging system.
