ALB and neoplasm: Except for the extent of LN dissection, the univariate survival analysis results show that preoperative albumin level, total bilirubin level, tumor marker, dilation of main pancreatic duct or common bile duct, preoperative biliary drainage, intraoperative vein reconstruction, N stage, and LN14 (±) did not make a difference on OS and DFS time (Tables 6, 7) although the MDFST of patients with a T4 stage tumor was shorter than those with not-T4 stage (8.3 months vs. 12.7 months, p = 0.020).
