Note. CA 19-9: carbohydrate antigen 19-9; DFS: disease-free survival; DSS: disease-specific survival; max: the maximum of follow-up time; M/F: male/female; NR: not reported; OS: overall survival; SD: standard deviation. The total number of patients in each included study, with displaying them as male/female. The sample time was defined according to the time of operation. The mean age of patients with corresponding SD or median age with corresponding range. The rate of patients with high level of CA 19-9. The mean follow-up period with corresponding SD or median follow-up period with corresponding range. The outcomes assessed (DFS, DSS, or/and OS) were presented in each included study. The quality of the included studies was assessed with the nine-star Newcastle-Ottawa Scale criteria.
