    Solid Pseudopapillary Tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms with generally favorable prognosis after surgical resection.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 293 patients with resectable, non-metastatic SPTs using data from the SEER database to identify prognostic factors.

  • 3

    Key findings indicated that older age, positive lymph nodes, and high lymph-node ratio significantly correlated with worse overall survival.

  • 4

    The overall 5-year survival rate for the cohort was 96.2%, highlighting the generally favorable outcomes for patients with SPTs.

  • 5

    Multivariate analysis confirmed that age, lymph node involvement, and tumor location are independent predictors of prognosis in SPTs.
