Core Tip This retrospective study investigated the prognostic significance of stromal secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) expression in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. High stromal SPARC expression is associated with inferior recurrence-free and overall survival, particularly in patients without adjuvant chemotherapy. External validation using The Cancer Genome Atlas-Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma cohort further supported the association between unfavorable prognosis and high SPARC expression. These findings suggest that stromal SPARC may serve as a meaningful prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
