(1) Background: This study identified the clinical outcome and prognostic factors of resected non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma (NADA) in a single tertiary cancer center. (2) Methods: The medical records of 109 patients with NADA who underwent curative surgery between 2000 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. (3) Results: The mean age was 62.4 years with a male predominance (70.6%). The majority of tumors were located at the 2nd portion (58.7%). Fifty-seven patients (52.3%) had symptoms at diagnosis. CA19-9 was elevated in 32 patients (29.4%). Of this cohort, most patients were diagnosed as stage III (64.2%). The median overall survival was 92.9 months, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 84.4%, 71.6%, and 53.7%, respectively. In univariate and multivariate analysis, age, symptoms, CA19-9, and margin status were associated with overall survival and symptoms, CA19-9 and margin status were also associated with recurrence. When correlating symptoms with stages, patients with symptoms at diagnosis had more advanced stages (all p < 0.001). (4) Conclusion: Old age, elevated CA19-9, symptoms, and margin status were independent prognostic factors of NADA, and the patients with symptoms at diagnosis tend to have more advanced stages and a poor prognosis.
