RESUMEN

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is principally characterized by low-grade cytology without evidence of invasion to other organs. We report a LAMN surgical case whose appendiceal tumor penetrated the sigmoid colon wall. An 87-year-old man was referred for endoscopic resection (ER) of a colon polyp. Despite four ERs over 5 years, the polyp recurred at the same site. Laparoscopic surgery revealed a dilated appendix firmly attached to the sigmoid colon. We performed en bloc resection of both the sigmoid colon and appendix without tumor exposure. The histopathological evaluation showed that the LAMN had penetrated the sigmoid colon wall, forming two polyps on the colonic mucosa. In cases where the appendiceal-colonic fistula is suspected, en bloc resection of the appendix and colon wall should be considered.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Clinical findings and postoperative follow-up data on remnant gastric cancer (RGC) are limited due to its rarity. Additionally, the preoperative staging, radical surgery, and managing recurrence in RGC present significant clinical challenges. METHODS: We analyzed the clinicopathological findings, adjuvant chemotherapy, and patterns of postoperative recurrence of 313 consecutive patients who underwent curative surgery for RGC at 17 Japanese institutions. This study investigated the optimal management of RGC and the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) on recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS: Pathological stages I, II, and III were observed in 55.9% (N = 175), 24.9% (N = 78), and 19.2% (N = 60) of the patients, respectively. The overall concordance rate between clinical and pathological T staging was 58.3%, with a clinical T4 sensitivity of 41.4% for diagnosing pathological T4. During the median follow-up period of 4.6 years, disease recurrence occurred in 24.3% of patients. Most recurrences (over 80%) occurred within 2.5 years, and 96.1% within 5 years after RGC surgery. Peritoneal recurrence was the most common in patients with advanced RGC, accounting for 14.1% in stage II and 28.3% in stage III. Multivariable regression analysis showed that AC was significantly associated with a longer RFS, with a hazard ratio of 0.45 (95% confidence interval: 0.26-0.76). CONCLUSIONS: Our study underscores the importance of early detection, accurate preoperative staging, and postoperative surveillance in managing advanced RGC cases. Despite some limitations, our findings indicate that AC may provide survival benefits comparable to those seen in primary gastric cancer.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Body weight loss (BWL) after gastrectomy impact on the short- and long-term outcomes. Oral nutritional supplement (ONS) has potential to prevent BWL in patients after gastrectomy. However, there is no consistent evidence supporting the beneficial effects of ONS on BWL, muscle strength and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ONS formulated primarily with carbohydrate and protein on BWL, muscle strength, and HRQoL. METHODS: This will be a multicenter, open-label, parallel, randomized controlled trial in patients with gastric cancer who will undergo gastrectomy. A total of 120 patients who will undergo gastrectomy will be randomly assigned to the ONS group or usual care (control) group in a 1:1 ratio. The stratification factors will be the clinical stage (I or ≥ II) and surgical procedures (total gastrectomy or other procedure). In the ONS group, the patients will receive 400 kcal (400 ml)/day of ONS from postoperative day 5 to 7, and the intervention will continue postoperatively for 8 weeks. The control group patients will be given a regular diet. The primary outcome will be the percentage of BWL (%BWL) from baseline to 8 weeks postoperatively. The secondary outcomes will be muscle strength (handgrip strength), HRQoL (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-OG25, EQ-5D-5L), nutritional status (hemoglobin, lymphocyte count, albumin), and dietary intake. All analyses will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. DISCUSSION: This study will provide evidence showing whether or not ONS with simple nutritional ingredients can improve patient adherence and HRQoL by reducing BWL after gastrectomy. If supported by the study results, nutritional support with simple nutrients will be recommended to patients after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Esophageal diverticulum is commonly associated with esophageal motility disorders, which can be diagnosed using high-resolution manometry (HRM) according to the Chicago classification. Although midesophageal diverticulum (M-ED) is associated with inflammatory processes, esophageal motility disorders have been recently identified as an etiology of M-ED. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a patient with M-ED and elevated intrabolus pressure (IBP), which did not meet the criteria for esophageal motility disorders according to the Chicago classification. A 71-year-old man presented with gradually worsening dysphagia for two years and was diagnosed as having an 8-cm-long M-ED and multiple small diverticula in lower esophagus. HRM revealed a median integrated relaxation pressure of 14.6 mmHg, a distal latency of 6.4 s, and an average maximum IBP of 35.7 mmHg. He underwent thoracoscopic resection of the M-ED and myotomy, which successfully alleviated the symptoms and reduced the intrabolus pressure to normal levels. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to recognize the esophageal diverticulum pathology with HRM findings even in cases where the results may not meet the Chicago classification and to include myotomy based on the results.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Even in cancer of unknown primary (CUP), which is rare clinical condition, solitary anterosuperior lymph node (LN) along the common hepatic artery (No.8a LN) enlargement diagnosed as metastatic adenocarcinoma has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 68-year-old Japanese male, with a history of early gastric cancer that had been completely treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection 26 years ago, was detected a single enlarged nodule along the common hepatic artery, No.8a LN, incidentally by computed tomography performed for monitoring of interstitial pneumonia. Endoscopic ultra-sound-guided fine needle aspiration revealed that this nodule was adenocarcinoma suggestive of metastasis, but other imaging studies, including upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, positron emission tomography, and ultrasonography did not detect any primary cancer. We have finally diagnosed as the LN metastasis of CUP and performed laparoscopic lymphadenectomy for this tumor. The tumor was approximately 5 cm in size, was in close proximity to the pancreas, and involved part of the right gastric artery and vein. LNs in the No.5 and No.8a areas, including this tumor, were dissected laparoscopically, and radical resection was achieved. The patient had no postoperative complication and was discharged on postoperative day 10. Immunohistopathological findings revealed that the tumor was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and different from the histology of gastric cancer resected 26 years ago, although the tumor was suggestive of gastrointestinal origin. Imaging studies performed 2 and 6 months after discharge also did not reveal a primary site. CONCLUSION: We reported a case of solitary No.8a LN adenocarcinoma of CUP. For diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, radical resection is recommended for single enlarged intra-abdominal LN of CUP.

RESUMEN

Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with central vessel ligation has been widely accepted for its oncological benefits in colon cancer surgery. However, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy involves a risk for vascular injury during dissection around the surgical trunk. This technical difficulty has been attributed to the limited movement of conventional laparoscopic forceps. Although robotic devices can overcome the restricted motion of laparoscopic devices, they are not yet widely used. The ArtiSential is an articulating laparoscopic instrument that has a two-joint end-effector that enables a wide range of motion precisely reflecting the surgeon's finger movements, and is designed to compensate for the drawbacks of conventional laparoscopic tools. The present study demonstrated the utility of articulating instruments in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy by comparing the authors' laparoscopic procedures, using articulating instruments, with robotic procedures. Articulating laparoscopic instruments can be successfully maneuvered in virtually the same manner as robotic devices and, as such, represent a viable alternative to robotic surgery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Esophagectomy is the primary surgical treatment for esophageal cancer, although other treatment approaches are often incorporated, including preoperative chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. The two major routes of esophageal reconstruction after esophagectomy are the anterior mediastinal (retrosternal, heterotopic) and posterior mediastinal (prevertebral, orthotopic) routes. However, which of these two routes of reconstruction is the most appropriate remains controversial. This systematic review aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of anterior mediastinal reconstruction with those of posterior mediastinal reconstruction after esophagectomy in esophageal cancer. METHODS: In January 2022, a literature search of the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases was conducted to identify all published and unpublished randomized controlled trials, regardless of language. Eight studies were included for quantitative synthesis. RESULTS: Postoperative death (9/129 and 4/125, risk ratio [RR]: 2.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.65-6.64) and incidence of anastomotic leak (24/208 and 26/208, RR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.56-1.62) were not significantly different between the two mediastinal reconstructions. We could not perform a meta-analysis for quality of life, loss of body weight, or postoperative hospital stay due to data limitations. CONCLUSION: Overall, there was low-quality evidence to suggest that the outcomes of the anterior and posterior mediastinal routes of reconstruction are not significantly different in patients with esophageal cancer.

RESUMEN

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic affected cancer surgeries and advanced cancer diagnoses; however, the trends in patient characteristics in medical institutions during this time, and the surgical approaches used are unclear. We investigated the impact of the pandemic on gastric and colorectal cancer surgeries in the Kinki region of Japan. We grouped 1688 gastric and 3493 colorectal cancer surgeries into three periods: "pre-pandemic" (April 2019-March 2020), "pandemic 1" (April 2020-March 2021), and "pandemic 2" (April 2021-September 2021), to investigate changes in the number of surgeries, patient characteristics, surgical approaches, and cancer progression after surgery. Gastric and colorectal cancer surgeries decreased from the pre-pandemic levels, by 20% and 4%, respectively, in pandemic 1, and by 31% and 19%, respectively, in pandemic 2. This decrease had not recovered to pre-pandemic levels by September, 2021. Patient characteristics, surgical approaches, and cancer progression of gastric and colorectal surgeries did not change remarkably as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Loss of skeletal muscle mass after gastrectomy for gastric cancer leads to decreased quality of life and poor postoperative survival. However, few studies have examined the postoperative loss of skeletal muscle mass following minimally invasive gastrectomy. This study investigated the impact of minimally invasive total gastrectomy (MI-TG) on changes in skeletal muscle mass during the early postoperative period. METHODS: Patients who underwent MI-TG or minimally invasive distal or proximal gastrectomy (MI-nonTG) for cStage I-III gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed (n = 58 vs. 182). Their body composition was measured before surgery and 2 months after surgery. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to clarify the impact of the surgical procedure on skeletal muscle index changes using clinically relevant covariates. RESULTS: Skeletal muscle mass decreased more in the MI-TG group than in the MI-nonTG group (median [interquartile range]; -5.9% [-10.6, -3.7] vs -4.5% [-7.3, -1.9], P = 0.004). In multivariable linear regression analysis using clinically relevant covariates, MI-TG was an independent risk factor for postoperative loss of skeletal muscle mass (coefficient - 2.6%, 95% CI -4.5 to -0.68, P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Total gastrectomy was a risk factor for loss of skeletal muscle mass during the early postoperative period. If oncologically feasible, proximal or distal gastrectomy with a small remnant stomach should be considered.

RESUMEN

A 47-year-old man underwent low anterior resection for rectal cancer and was surveilled for 5 years without metastasis. Twenty-four years later, the patient developed an implantation cyst at the anastomotic site. Two years after the diagnosis, colonoscopy revealed a disintegrated area in the lesion, and pathological examination of the biopsy specimen revealed adenocarcinoma. Due to the suspicion of invasion into the surrounding organs, the patient underwent laparoscopic total pelvic exenteration after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. A transabdominal and transperineal endoscopic approach was used for safe en bloc excision of the tumor. Pathological examination of the specimen confirmed mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from the implantation cyst. Although an implantation cyst is considered benign, it is important to suspect malignant transformation when its appearance changes. For the accurate diagnosis of implantation cysts, surgeons, endoscopists, and radiologists should be aware of this disease.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Despite growing evidence of the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for primary gastric cancer, MIS for remnant gastric cancer (RGC) remains controversial due to the rarity of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical and oncological outcomes of MIS for radical resection of RGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with RGC who underwent surgery between 2005 and 2020 at 17 institutions were included, and a propensity score matching analysis was performed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of MIS with open surgery. RESULTS: A total of 327 patients were included in this study and 186 patients were analyzed after matching. The risk ratios for overall and severe complications were 0.76 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45, 1.27] and 0.65 (95% CI: 0.32, 1.29), respectively. The MIS group had significantly less blood loss [mean difference (MD), -409 mL; 95% CI: -538, -281] and a shorter hospital stay (MD, -6.5 days; 95% CI: -13.1, 0.1) than the open surgery group. The median follow-up duration of this cohort was 4.6 years, and the 3-year overall survival were 77.9% and 76.2% in the MIS and open surgery groups, respectively [hazard ratio (HR), 0.78; 95% CI: 0.45, 1.36]. The 3-year relapse-free survival were 71.9% and 62.2% in the MIS and open surgery groups, respectively (HR, 0.71; 95% CI: 0.44, 1.16). CONCLUSIONS: MIS for RGC showed favorable short- and long-term outcomes compared to open surgery. MIS is a promising option for radical surgery for RGC.

RESUMEN

Background: Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by a tumor-producing high molecular weight form of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) known as big IGF2. The only curative treatment for this condition is surgical resection of the responsible tumors. However, this may not be feasible in cases with multiple metastases at diagnosis of NICTH, and no standard treatment strategy for multiple tumors has been established. The effects of pharmacological therapies including somatostatin analogs are often inefficient and remain difficult to predict. Case description: A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to impaired consciousness and severe hypoglycemia. His medical history included diagnosis of a left temporal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) at the age of 48 years, after which local recurrent and metastatic tumors were repeatedly resected. Four years before admission, multiple intraabdominal and subcutaneous tumors were detected and, being asymptomatic, were managed conservatively. Laboratory exam on admission demonstrated hypoglycemia accompanied with low serum insulin and IGF1 levels. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple intraabdominal and subcutaneous tumors increasing in size. Serum big IGF2 was detected on immunoblot analysis, and he was diagnosed as NICTH. In addition, tumor uptake was observed on 68Ga-labelled 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid-d-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotide positron emission tomography/CT (DOTATOC-PET/CT). Since larger tumor is more suspicious about responsible producibility of big IGF2, we planned to resect large ones preferentially and reduce the amounts of residual tumors. Debulking surgery was performed by removing eleven intraabdominal tumors; the hypoglycemia was then completely corrected. Histological analyses revealed the resected tumors to be metastases of SFT having somatostatin receptor 2 expression. In immunoblot analysis, the resected tumors were found to be positive for big IGF2; serum big IGF2 was undetectable after surgery. Conclusion: We present a case of NICTH with multiple metastatic SFTs. We strategically performed debulking surgery, which led to remission of hypoglycemia. This result demonstrates a pioneering practical solution for NICTH cases with multiple tumors. In addition, in cases of SFTs presenting with NICTH, positivity of DOTATOC-PET/CT as well as single-dose administration of octreotide may be predictive of the efficacy of somatostatin-based therapy.

RESUMEN

Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a rare hereditary subtype of cutaneous porphyria characterized by photosensitivity. Increased exposure to light irradiation may precipitate acute liver failure, and surgical light-induced intestinal burns and perforations are known to occur. We report a case of EPP in a patient who underwent laparoscopic partial cecectomy for appendiceal mucocele. A 55-year-old man with EPP was presented for treatment of appendiceal mucocele. A light test using two types of laparoscopes (Companies O and S) was performed preoperatively. Light from the laparoscope manufactured by Company O caused photosensitivity; this effect was not observed with light from the laparoscope manufactured by Company S. Therefore, we performed laparoscopic partial cecectomy through a single umbilical incision using the laparoscope from Company S. Except for the incision site, the patient's skin was completely covered using surgical drapes. No intra- or postoperative complications were observed. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm.

RESUMEN

The supraclavicular lymph nodes (SCLNs) have been regarded as regional nodes for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan and eastern Asian countries, whereas their involvement has been regarded as distant metastasis in Western countries. The importance of thorough dissection of the lymphatic chain along the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the cervical paraesophageal nodes, has become well understood; therefore, the contemporary clinical question is whether prophylactic SCLN dissection (SLND) in addition to cervical paraesophageal node dissection is beneficial for patients with ESCC. We analyzed studies comparing esophagectomy with SLND vs. esophagectomy without SLND, in both of which cervical paraesophageal node dissection had been completed, based on a comprehensive literature search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. Our meta-analysis focused on two long-term outcomes: 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates; and three short-term outcomes: pneumonia, recurrent nerve palsy, and anastomotic leakage. Four studies, with a collective total of 1584 patients were included in the review. No significant differences were found between esophagectomy with SLND vs. esophagectomy without SLND in the meta-analysis of both long-term (3-year and 5-year OS; risk ratio 1.09, 95% CI 0.94-1.26, P = 0.28, and risk ratio 1.14, 95% CI 0.96-1.35, P = 0.15, respectively) and short-term outcomes. Based on our analysis, no clear data support prophylactic SLND on the cervical paraesophageal node dissection.

RESUMEN

The objective of this study was to develop a new preparation method for cisplatin (CDDP)-incorporated gelatin hydrogels without using chemical crosslinking nor a vacuum heating instrument for dehydrothermal crosslinking. By simply mixing CDDP and gelatin, CDDP-crosslinked gelatin hydrogels (CCGH) were prepared. CDDP functions as a crosslinking agent of gelatin to form the gelatin hydrogel. Simultaneously, CDDP is incorporated into the gelatin hydrogel as a controlled release carrier. CDDP's in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy after incorporation into CCGH was evaluated. In the in vitro system, the CDDP was released gradually due to CCGH degradation with an initial burst release of approximately 16%. CDDP metal-coordinated with the degraded fragment of gelatin was released from CCGH with maintaining the anticancer activity. After intraperitoneal administration of CCGH, CDDP was detected in the blood circulation while its toxicity was low. Following intraperitoneal administration of CCGH in a murine peritoneal dissemination model of human gastric cancer MKN45-Luc cell line, the survival time was significantly prolonged compared with free CDDP solution. It is concluded that CCGH prepared by the CDDP-based crosslinking of gelatin is an excellent sustained release system of CDDP to achieve superior anticancer effects with minimal side effects compared with free CDDP solution.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The treatment strategy for metastatic lesions of primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is currently determined on a case-by-case basis, based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for cutaneous melanoma. The NCCN guidelines state that resection should be considered in patients with resectable metastatic recurrence. Herein, we report a case of long-term survival treated with three metastasectomies and two subsequent adjuvant nivolumab therapies for the metastatic recurrence of PMME. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old female patient with PMME underwent thoracoscopic subtotal esophagectomy, gastric tube reconstruction via the posterior mediastinal route, and cervical esophagogastric anastomosis. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed that the tumor was PMME with tumor invasion into the muscularis propria and no lymph node metastasis. At the age of 68 years, she developed intestinal invagination due to jejunal metastasis of malignant melanoma and underwent resection of the jejunum. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed two metastases of malignant melanoma in the jejunum and one metastasis to the mesenteric lymph node. At the age of 75 years, a recurrence of malignant melanoma was found in the cervical esophagus. She underwent thoracoscopic mobilization of the gastric tube and esophagus followed by cervical esophagectomy and reconstruction with a free jejunum flap. She received 24 courses of nivolumab therapy for 1 year as a postoperative adjuvant therapy. Subsequently, at the age of 78 years, an enlarged left cervical lymph node and a mass in the right lower lobe of the lung were found. She underwent left cervical lymph node dissection and thoracoscopic wedge resection of the right lung. Histopathological examination of the resected specimens revealed that both tumors were metastases of malignant melanoma. At age 79 years, she received eight courses of nivolumab therapy as a second postoperative adjuvant therapy, with no sign of recurrence in a 9-month follow-up period after the third metastasectomy. CONCLUSION: In cases of metastatic recurrence of PMME, aggressive resection of oligometastasis with postoperative adjuvant nivolumab therapy may result in long-term survival.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are still at a high risk of developing second primary malignancies (SPMs) after definitive therapies. We evaluated the development of SPMs and explored its risk factors in patients with clinical T1bN0 ESCC. METHODS: JCOG0502 prospectively compared esophagectomy with definitive chemo-radiotherapy for clinical T1bN0 ESCC. Here, we reviewed all JCOG0502 patients' data for SPMs and investigated the risk factors for SPMs using uni-variable and multivariable analyses by Fine and Gray model. RESULTS: Among 379 enrolled patients, 213 underwent esophagectomy and 166 received chemo-radiotherapy. Patient characteristics were male (85%); median age [63 (range 41-75) years; location of the primary tumor (upper/middle/lower thoracic esophagus, 11%/63%/27%, respectively]; alcohol consumption history (79%); smoking history (66%); prevalence of no/several/many/unknown Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) (45%/36%/8%/11%, respectively). In a median follow-up of 7.1 years, 118 SPMs occurred in 99 (26%) patients. Cumulative incidences of SPMs after 3, 5, and 10 years were 9%, 15%, and 36%, respectively. The most common primary tumor sites were the head and neck (35%), stomach (20%) and lungs (14%). In multivariable analyses, compared to no LVLs, several LVLs [hazard ratio (HR) 2.24, 95% confidential interval (CI) 1.32-3.81] and many LVLs (HR 2.88, 95% CI 1.27-6.52) were significantly associated with the development of SPMs. Sixteen patients died due to the SPMs. CONCLUSION: The incidence of SPMs was high. The presence of LVLs, which was a predictive factor for SPMs, may be useful for surveillance planning.
