Aim: Few published studies comprehensively describe the characteristics of patients with pancreatic cancer and their treatment in clinical practice. This study aimed to describe the current clinical practice for treating pancreatic cancer in Catalonia, along with the associated survival and treatment costs. Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer from 2014 to 2018, using data from the healthcare records of the Public Health System of Catalonia, was conducted. Treatment patterns and costs were described by age groups from 2014 to 2018, with survival reported until December 2021. Results: The proportion of patients receiving surgery with curative intent was low, especially in older patients (23% of patients <60 years and 9% of patients ≥80 years). The percentage of patients treated with drugs for unresectable disease also decreased with age (45% of patients <60 years and 8% of patients ≥80 years). Although age was associated with significant differences in survival after curative surgery, no differences attributable to age were observed in patients who received pharmacological treatment for unresectable disease. In patients under 60 years of age, the mean cost of the first year of treatment was EUR 17,730 (standard deviation [SD] 5754) in those receiving surgery and EUR 5398 (SD 9581) in those on pharmacological treatment for unresectable disease. In patients over 80, the mean costs were EUR 15,339 (SD 2634) and EUR 1845 (SD 3413), respectively. Conclusions: Half of the patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer did not receive specific treatment. Surgery with curative intent was associated with longer survival, but only 18% of (mostly younger) patients received this treatment. Chemotherapy was also used less frequently in patients of advanced age, though survival in treated patients was comparable across all age groups, so careful oncogeriatric assessment is advisable to ensure the most appropriate indication for eligibility in older patients. In general, earlier diagnosis and more effective pharmacological treatments are necessary to treat frail patients with high comorbidity, a common profile in older patients.
