RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The actual situation of oral care and oral troubles for patients with gastric cancer received chemotherapy is not clear. METHODS: Questionnaire survey in the form of oral questions was performed for patients with gastric cancer who received chemotherapy from December 2021 to February 2022. The relevance between the survey results and background factors was examined using the χ2 test. RESULTS: We performed the questionnaire survey for 36 patients. Of the 36 patients, 29 patients received dental check-up before starting chemotherapy. Fourteen of the 29 patients(48%)continued the dental check-up. Of 14 patients who continued the dental check-up, 9 patients were 65 years or older, while 14 of 15 patients who discontinued the dental check-up were 65 years or older. Continuity of dental check-up was low among the elderly patients. The rate of dysgeusia were 78 vs 30% in the patients who adopted and who did not adopt oral care other than toothbrushing(p=0.01). The frequency of oral troubles was dysgeusia(47%), stomatitis(42%), and dry mouth(36%). The severity of the oral troubles was, in order, dysgeusia, dry mouth, and pain. The most common side effect due to chemotherapy causing decreased food intake was dysgeusia. CONCLUSIONS: Dysgeusia was the most frequent and severe oral trouble.

BACKGROUND: According to the sixth Gastric Cancer Treatment Guideline, the regimen included nab-paclitaxel(nab-PTX) is a conditional recommendation as second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. However, the selection criteria of nab-PTX is not clear. METHOD: Questionnaire survey as narrative approach on the problems of paclitaxel premedication, the symptoms due to paclitaxel containing alcohol, and infusion time was conducted for patients who had been treated with paclitaxel. RESULTS: Thirty-six patients answered the questionnaire. Nonelderly patients(<65 years)or patients without comorbid medications complained of dissatisfaction with the inconvenience due to premedication significantly more than elderly patients(≥65 years)or patients with comorbid medications. Females or nonelderly patients were significantly more troubled by sleepiness due to premedication than males or elderly patients. Eight out of 11 patients who had visited hospital by driving a car for first-line treatment were troubled by prohibition of driving on the day of treatment. Thirty out of 36 patients answered that they would feel benefits from 30-minutes shortening of infusion time. CONCLUSION: Questionnaire survey suggests that we may select the patients for nab-PTX properly by clarifying the inconvenience of daily life associated with premedication, the way of transportation for visiting hospital, and the benefits by shortening of infusion time.

A 30s female complaining of anal pain and melena was referred to our hospital. The support by adolescent-and-young- adult(AYA)team was initiated after the first encounter. Colonoscopic examination revealed an ulcerated tumor on the anterior wall of anal canal with its anal margin on anal verge and the tumor was diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma. Contrast- enhanced CT and MRI revealed adjacency of tumor and vagina, enlarged lymph nodes and multiple pulmonary nodules. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)-positron emission tomography(PET)additionally revealed tracer accumulation in left sciatica, which led us to the diagnosis of advanced anal cancer. We planned and safely performed concomitant partial vaginal resection in robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for the palliative purpose after discussion on physical and psychosocial issues including stoma and fertility with the patient, her family and AYA members. The pathological diagnosis was pT4b(vagina)N1aM1b, pStage â £B, and the local margin was pathologically negative. The postoperative course was smooth and she was discharged on postoperative day 16. Fifty one days after operation, she started systemic chemotherapy after decision on not to take ovarian samples and continues systemic chemotherapy as of writing. Support by AYA team was effective to facilitate the patient's decision-making and the communication between the patient and the medical team.

A 70s male, who had undergone single-incision laparoscopic ileocecal resection for ascending colon cancer with pathological diagnosis of T3N3M0, Stage â ¢c(without adjuvant chemotherapy), had enhanced-computed tomography(CT)for 3-month follow-up and a hepatic low-density area, an newly emergent nodule behind inferior vena cava and distal ileal tumor were found. Three months later, enhanced CT showed that the distal ileal tumor got exponentially larger and the diagnosis of"malignant lymphoma"was suspected. The patient became sepsis, so we planned and safely performed partial resection of the tumor. The pathological diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Postoperative course was smooth except for the Clostridium difficile colitis and he was discharged on postoperative day 19. Although the regrowth of the remnant tumor was observed soon after surgery, partial response was confirmed after introduction of systemic chemotherapy. When we cope with malignant lymphoma of small intestine, we need to keep it in mind that surgery is an option for the prevention of perforation and bacterial translocation.

A 60s female, who had undergone single-incision laparoscopic ileocecal resection for ascending colon cancer with pathological diagnosis of T3N1bM0, Stage â ¢b, followed by adjuvant therapy with 8 courses CAPOX 2 years ago, had enhanced- computed tomography(CT)for follow-up and a 15-mm nodule near anastomotic site was found. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography(PET)CT revealed abnormal accumulation of 18F-FDG only to the lesion and diagnosis of"anastomotic recurrence"was made. We planned and safely performed resection of the anastomotic site and the nodule. The pathological diagnosis was fibromatosis-like tumor without evidence of recurrence, and margin was negative. Postoperative course was smooth and she was discharged on postoperative day 9. When we diagnose local recurrence, we need to keep it in mind that fibromatosis is one of the differential diagnoses, although its incidence rate is low.

INTRODUCTION: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus S-1(NAC GS)has been reported to prolong the prognosis of resectable pancreatic cancer, and is now being used in daily practice. In this study, we investigated the tolerability and outcome of neoadjuvant GS therapy for resectable pancreatic cancer in our hospital. PATIENTS: Fifty-two patients who underwent NAC GS for resectable pancreatic cancer between November 2019 and March 2023 were included in this study. RESULTS: The mean age of all 52 patients was 75 years, 28 were male and 24 were female. Tumor site was pancreatic head cancer in 32 patients, pancreatic body cancer in 13 patients, and pancreatic tail cancer in 8 patients. Only 2 patients of the 52 patients completed 2 cycles of GS therapy with full dose, and dose reduction and treatment deferral were performed in remaining 50 patients. The dose intensity was 78.4% for gemcitabine and 66.7% for S-1. Grade 3 or higher adverse events included neutropenia in 21 patients(40.4%), biliary tract infection in 6 patients(11.5%), fatigue, anorexia, hepatic dysfunction, and constipation in 1 patient each(1.9%). 47 patients(90.4%)underwent R0 resection. 4 patients had pancreatic fistula, which was classified as Grade â ¢ by Clavien-Dindo, and one of them died in the hospital due to bleeding from a pseudoaneurysm. CONCLUSION: NAC GS therapy for resectable pancreatic cancer was considered feasible with appropriate management of adverse events.

The patient was a 78-year-old man. After 4 courses of GEM plus nab-PTX therapy for multiple recurrent liver metastases after pancreatic body cancer surgery, the patient was aware of general malaise and edema of the extremities. Blood tests showed pancytopenia, and he was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of chemotherapy-induced pancytopenia. On the second day, hemolytic anemia with crushed red blood cells was observed, suggesting thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Considering the possibility of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura(TTP), the patient was started on plasma exchange with steroids. After 7 days of plasma exchange, his thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, and renal dysfunction improved, and he was discharged from the hospital on the 28th day. Although GEM-induced TMA is a life-threatening complication, there is no established treatment for it. We report a case of GEM-induced TMA that was successfully treated with plasma exchange.

A 60s male, who had laparoscopic ileocecal resection for ascending colon cancer 2 years ago, had enhanced computed tomography(CT)for follow-up and a 12-mm nodule in Douglas' pouch adjacent to right seminal vesicle and rectum was found. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)-positron emission tomography CT revealed abnormal accumulation of 18F-FDG only to the lesion(standardized uptake value max 2.60)and the diagnosis of peritoneal recurrence of ascending colon cancer was made. We planned and safely performed laparoscopic concomitant right seminal vesiculectomy in low anterior resection. The pathological diagnosis was peritoneal dissemination of colon cancer and the margin was pathologically negative. The postoperative course was smooth except for temporary dysuria and he was discharged on postoperative day 17. As of writing 1 year after surgery, the patient continues to do well with no sign of recurrence. Laparoscopic concomitant seminal vesiculectomy in low anterior resection can be a good option for the curative resection of peritoneal recurrence.

A 60s-year-old male, who had laparoscopic partial colectomy with resection of left colic artery for descending colon cancer 8 years ago and completed 5-year-follow-up without the evidence of recurrence, was diagnosed as anastomotic recurrence of descending colon cancer, and referred to our hospital. We planned and safely performed single-incision laparoscopic colectomy(SILC)with intracorporeal anastomosis(ICA)(operation time of 390 min and estimated blood loss of 60 g). Following the adhesiolysis, the intracorporeal resection of the lesion was performed with automatic stapling device preserving middle colic and inferior mesenteric arteries and veins. Then, after the recovery of the specimen, ICA was performed as follows; after making a small hole just below the staple line at the opposite side of mesenteric attachment, the oral and the anal stump of colon was pulled-up and placed side-by-side with temporary strings and automatic suturing device was inserted into the holes and fired to form a side-to-side anastomosis, then the common stab incision was pulled- up with 3 temporary strings and closed with a stapler. The postoperative course was smooth and discharged on postoperative day 8. The ICA can be a good option for SILC when colonic and vascular tension would be the limiting factor of anastomosis.

The patient was a 60's man, whose chief complaints were melena and weight loss. He visited our hospital, and further evaluation revealed rectal cancer(Ra)invading the abdominal wall with multiple liver metastases. The clinical diagnosis was cT4b(abdominal wall)N2bM1a(H1), cStage â £. We performed a transverse colostomy on the day prior to chemotherapy administration. He was administered 8 courses of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab. After the chemotherapy, the primary tumor and liver metastases showed PR, with a diagnosis of ycT3N1bM1a(H1), Stage â £. We performed a robot-assisted laparoscopic low anterior resection for the primary tumor. Two months later, the partial resection of liver S6 and S8 was performed. The patient has been cancer-free for 6 months now.

CASE: A 77-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for detailed examination of a cystic liver tumor. Contrast-enhanced CT and MRIshowed a cystic liver tumor with an enhanced mural nodule in S6 of the liver. Under a preoperative diagnosis of hemorrhagic hepatic cyst and mucinous cystic neoplasm(MCN)of the liver, extended posterior segmentectomy was performed. Histological examination of the tumor revealed no neoplastic cells, and the tumor was finally diagnosed as a hemorrhagic hepatic cyst of the liver. CONCLUSION: Similar to previous reports of hemorrhagic hepatic cysts, preoperative differential diagnosis from MCN of the liver was difficult in this case. Hemorrhagic hepatic cysts are rare and are sometimes confused with MCN of the liver, especially when an enhanced mural nodule is found in the cyst. The possibility of hemorrhagic hepatic cysts should be considered during diagnosis of liver cystic tumors.

A 70-year-old woman underwent treatment for cecal cancer(pT4bN1M0, Stage â ¢b)in 2010. Four years and 2 months after the first surgery, she underwent ileum resection for stenosis due to perineal dissemination(P3). Two years after this recurrence, during which time she had completed 26 courses of FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab(Bmab), 9 courses of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(CapeOX)plus Bmab, and 3 courses of Cape, no peritoneal dissemination was detected by computed tomography( CT). Thereafter, an additional 19 courses of Cape plus Bmab were introduced, but CEA continued to increase. Right ovarian metastasis was suspected based on CT and FDG-PET/CT examination. Four years and 1 month after the initial recurrence of perineal dissemination, the patient underwent bilateral ovarian resection, during which the lack of peritoneal dissemination was confirmed. Pathologically, right ovarian metastasis was diagnosed. The patient is still alive 4 years and 6 months after the first operation.

We describe a case of residual stomach preserving surgery performed under evaluation of residual gastric blood flow with indocyanine green(ICG)fluorography, for gastric cancer with recurrence of splenic lymph node metastasis after distal gastrectomy( DG)in a 65-year-old man. After 4 courses of S-1 plus CDDP(SP)therapy for advanced gastric cancer with ascites, DG, D2 dissection, and Billroth â reconstruction were performed and radical resection was obtained(L, Type 3, pap/tub, ypT3N1H0P0CY0M0, ypStage â ¡B). Three years and 6 months after the surgery, a mass 4 cm in diameter was found in the splenic hilum, and a pancreatosplenial resection was performed to remove the tumor for diagnosis and treatment purposes. We confirmed that there was no problem with blood flow, and we were able to preserve the stomach. Intraoperative ICG fluorescence imaging was considered a promising method for evaluating residual gastric blood flow.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare inflammatory disease of the gallbladder with distinct histopathological characteristics. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is currently the standard treatment for gallbladder disease. However, the outcomes of LC for XGC have not been completely investigated, due to the rarity of XGC. The present study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes of LC for XGC. Among 3,037 patients undergoing cholecystectomy between 2005 and 2017 at our institution, 58 patients (1.9%) were diagnosed with XGC based on histopathology. Of the patients, LC was performed in 38 (65.5%), and they were enrolled in the present study. The outcome of LC for XGC in the cases was assessed, and was compared with outcomes of LC for other diseases. The average operation time was 109±36 min, and average intraoperative blood loss was 58±85 ml. LC was converted to open cholecystectomy in 6 (15.8%) of the 38 cases. No operative mortality occurred. One patient developed postoperative complications greater than grade II in the Clavien-Dindo classification, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.1±5.8 days. Based on previous reports and the nature of XGC itself, the outcomes reported herein of LC for XGC seemed acceptable. It should be also noted that LC for XGC exhibited a higher conversion rate compared with LC than other benign gallbladder diseases, implying that LC for XGC remains challenging.
RESUMEN
This report describes a case of primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver with hepatolithiasis. A 70's man was followed up at a clinic for hepatolithiasis, gallbladder stone, and dilatation of the intrahepatic duct. He visited our hospital for computed tomography(CT)examination. CT showed a 30mm diameter low-density mass in the S2 liver and dilatation of the intrahe- patic duct filled with hepatolithiasis. Blood examination showed elevated levels of tumor markers(CEA 8.0 ng/mL, CA19-9 19,196 U/mL). We diagnosed the tumor as cholangiocellular carcinoma(cT2N1M0, cStage â £A)with hepatolithiasis and performed left hepatectomy and lymphadenectomy. In the specimen, a 39×22mm diameter solid tumor was detected and the intrahepatic duct was filled with haptolithiasis. Pathologically, a mixture of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma was observed adjacent to the bile duct. Accordingly, a diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma was made(pT3N0M0, pStage â ¢). Multiple liver metastases were detected 8 months after the operation, and chemotherapy was started. He remains alive 11 months after the operation. We experienced a rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma in the liver with hepatolithiasis.

There have been few reports discussing treatments for primary duodenal cancer. In this study, 15 cases of primary duodenal cancer that were treated by curative resection in our hospital between April 2005 and December 2017 were analyzed to study appropriate operative procedures. Prognostic analysis revealed that the median of relapse-free survival and overall survival were 49 months and 74 months, respectively. The 5-year survival rate was 47%. On univariate analysis of relapse-free survival, lymph node metastasis(p<0.01)and post-operative adjuvant therapy(p=0.02)were significant independent prognostic factors. Analysis of the relationship between lymph node metastasis and the depth or location of tumors suggested that pancreaticoduodenectomy with lymph node dissection should be performed to achieve radical resection, since there were some cases that involved lymph node metastasis around the pancreatic head or hepatoduodenal ligament.

A60s woman was followed-up regularly for primary biliary cholangitis and a solitary enlarging hepatic mass in the S6 segment of her liver was discovered by ultrasonography. We diagnosed the mass as hepatocellular carcinoma by contrast ultrasonography, contrast computed tomography, and ethoxbenzyl magnetic resonance imaging and laparoscopic partial hepatectomy of S6 segment was performed. The resected specimen was histopathologicaly diagnosed as liver-reactive lymphoid hyperplasia(RLH). The patient is alive without recurrence 17 months after the surgery. Although liver RLH is a rare disease, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of small liver tumors.

INTRODUCTION: The clinical significance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for acute cholecystitis in elderly patients aged 80 years or older has not been determined. This study aimed to investigate surgical outcomes of LC for acute cholecystitis in elderly patients compared to non-elderly patients. METHODS: Patients who underwent urgent LC for acute cholecystitis were enrolled. Older (≥80 years) and younger patients (<80 years) were compared for perioperative factors to assess surgical outcomes of LC. RESULTS: A total of 351 patients were included; 52 (14.8%) and 299 (85.2%) were categorized as older and younger, respectively. The older group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with concomitant physiological diseases than the younger group and a significantly higher ASA classification. No significant differences between the two groups were found in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, or conversion rate to open surgery. Incidence of postoperative complications and duration of postoperative hospital stay also were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Surgical outcomes of LC for acute cholecystitis in older patients are comparable to those in younger patients, which confirms the feasibility of LC for acute cholecystitis in elderly patients.

A 68-year-old man underwent a subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy(SSPPD)for a distal bile duct carcinoma(BDC)pT3aN1M0, pStage â ¡B and adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine. One year 7 months after the initial surgery, CT revealed a nodule with an increasing tendency in the left lung. As it was difficult to distinguish primary lung cancer from BDC lung metastasis, we performed a thoracoscopic left wedge resection. The histopathology of the resected specimen was BDC lung metastasis. In the follow-up with adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for 10 months, 2 nodules were found in the right lung, and we performed thoracoscopic right S6 segmentectomy. Eight months later, another nodule was found in the left lung, and we performed thoracoscopic left wedge resection. The histopathology was BDC lung metastasis for all the resected specimens. The patient is alive with no evidence of recurrence after 9 months of the latest surgery(4 years 11 months after the initial surgery). Although the standard treatment for metastatic recurrence of BDC is systemic chemotherapy, some cases treated with surgical resection had relatively good prognosis, such as the present case. Surgical resection might be feasible as a treatment option for metastatic recurrence of BDC.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy has gained popularity owing to its merits, such as low invasiveness and reduced bleeding. However, the efficacy of laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy(LRH)has not been confirmed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of LRH compared to that of open repeat hepatectomy(ORH). We performed 60 repeat hepatectomies from January 2011 to March 2019, of which 19 were LRH(Lap group)and 41 were ORH(Open group). This study retrospectively compared the patient characteristics and short-term outcomes of repeat hepatectomy between the Lap and Open groups. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics, except for the type of approach in the previous hepatectomy(p<0.01). The Lap group had lesser blood loss(median: 150 mL vs 355 mL, p<0.01)and shorter postoperative hospital stays(median: 8 days vs 11 days, p<0.01). There were no differences in operation time or severe postoperative complications. LRH is feasible and useful, providing good short-term outcomes.
