RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Risk-reducing operations are an important part of the management of hereditary predisposition to cancer. In selected cases, they can considerably reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cancer in this population. OBJECTIVES: The Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology (BSSO) developed this guideline to establish national benchmarks for cancer risk-reducing operations. METHODS: The guideline was prepared from May to December 2021 by a multidisciplinary team of experts to discuss the surgical management of cancer predisposition syndromes. Fourteen questions were defined and assigned to expert groups that reviewed the literature and drafted preliminary recommendations. Following a review by the coordinators and a second review by all participants, the groups made final adjustments, classified the level of evidence, and voted on the recommendations. RESULTS: For all questions including risk-reduction bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, and mastectomy, major agreement was achieved by the participants, always using accessible alternatives. CONCLUSION: This and its accompanying article represent the first guideline in cancer risk reduction surgery developed by the BSSO, and it should serve as an important reference for the management of families with cancer predisposition.

BACKGROUND: Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a frequent complication in advanced cancer patients and especially those with abdominal tumors. The clinical management of MBO requires a specific and individualized approach based on the disease prognosis. Surgery is recommended. Less invasive approaches such as endoscopic treatments should be considered when surgery is contraindicated. The priority of care for inoperable and consolidated MBO is to control the symptoms and promote the maximum level of comfort. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop recommendations for the effective management of MBO. METHODS: A questionnaire was administered to all members of the Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology, of whom 41 surgeons participated in the survey. A literature review of studies retrieved from the National Library of Medicine database was conducted on particular topics chosen by the participants. These topics addressed questions regarding the MBO management, to define the level of evidence and strength of each recommendation, and an adapted version of the Infectious Diseases Society of America Health Service rating system was used. RESULTS: Most aspects of the medical approach and management strategies reviewed were strongly recommended by the participants. CONCLUSIONS: Guidelines outlining the strategies for management MBO were developed based on the strongest evidence available in the literature.

OBJECTIVE: to suggest a script for surgical oncology assistance in COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. METHOD: a narrative review and a "brainstorming" consensus were carried out after discussion with more than 350 Brazilian specialists and renowned surgeons from Portugal, France, Italy and United States of America. RESULTS: consensus on testing for COVID-19: 1- All patients to be operated should be tested between 24 and 48 before the procedure; 2- The team that has contact with sick or symptomatic patients should be tested; 3 - Chest tomography was suggested to investigate pulmonary changes. Consensus on protection of care teams: 1 - Use of surgical masks inside the hospitals. Use of N95 masks for all professionals in the operating room; 2 - Selection of cases for minimally invasive surgery and maximum pneumoperitoneal aspiration before removal of the surgical specimen; 2 - Optimization of the number of people in teams, with a minimum number of professionals, reducing their occupational exposure, the consumption of protective equipment and the circulation of people in the hospital environment; 3 - Isolation of contaminated patients. Priority consensus: 1- Construction of service priorities; 2 - Interdisciplinary discussion on minimally invasive or conventional pathways. CONCLUSION: the Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology (BSSO) suggests a script for coping with oncological treatment, remembering that the impoundment in the assistance of these cases, can configure a new wave of overload in health systems.

RESUMO Objetivo: sugerir roteiro de assistência oncológica cirúrgica em meio à pandemia COVID-19 no Brasil. Método: foi realizada revisão narrativa da literatura e consenso tipo "brainstorming" após discussão com mais de 350 especialistas brasileiros e cirurgiões renomados de Portugal, França, Itália e Estados Unidos da América. Resultados: consenso sobre testagem para COVID-19: 1-Todos os pacientes a serem operados devem ser testados entre 24 e 48 antes do procedimento; 2-Equipe que tenha contato com doentes ou sintomáticos deve ser testada; 3-Tomografia de tórax foi sugerida para pesquisa de alterações pulmonares. Consenso sobre proteção das equipes de assistência: 1-Uso de máscaras cirúrgicas dentro de hospitais. Uso de máscaras N95 para todos os profissionais na sala cirúrgica; 2-Seleção dos casos para cirurgia minimamente invasiva e aspiração máxima do pneumoperitônio antes da retirada da peça cirúrgica; 2-Otimização das equipes, com número mínimo de profissionais, reduzindo a exposição ocupacional, o consumo de equipamento de proteção e a circulação de pessoas no ambiente hospitalar; 3 -Isolamento de pacientes contaminados. Consenso sobre priorizações: 1-Construção de prioridades de atendimento; 2- Discussão interdisciplinar sobre via minimamente invasiva ou convencional. Conclusão: a Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Oncológica (SBCO) sugere roteiro de enfrentamento para o tratamento oncológico, lembrando que o represamento na assistência desses casos, pode configurar uma nova onda de sobrecarga em sistemas de saúde.
