[Surgical and combined treatment of patients with duodenal stromal tumors]. / Osobennosti khirurgicheskogo i kombinirovannogo lecheniya bol'nykh stromal'noi opukhol'yu dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the immediate and long-term results of surgical and combined treatment of patients with duodenal stromal tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 47 patients with duodenal stromal tumors for the period 2002-2019. All patients underwent treatment at the Blokhin National Cancer Research Center. Six patients had metastatic disease, 2 ones - a rare syndrome of duodenal stromal tumor associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, other 39 patients had a localized and locally-advanced disease. Surgical treatment was performed in 37 patients (limited resections (LR) in 24 cases and gastropancreaticoduodenectomy in 13 cases).Incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower after limited resections compared to gastropancreaticoduodenectomy (22.2% (6/24) vs. 61.5% (8/13), respectively). Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade 3) occurred in 4.2% (1/24) vs. 15.3% (2/13) of patients, respectively. Postoperative mortality was absent in both groups. We observed no significant differences in long-term results. Overall 5-year survival was 91% and 70% (p=0.5960), 5-year recurrence-free survival - 65 and 70% (p=0.6226), respectively. CONCLUSION: Considering similar survival rates, lower postoperative morbidity and better quality of life, limited duodenal resections are preferred for duodenal stromal tumors.

[Surgical treatment of patients with leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie bol'nykh s leiomiosarkomoi nizhnei poloi veny.

AIM: To evaluate the results of surgical treatment of patients with leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For the period 2003-2016 21 patients with leiomyosarcoma of IVC were operated at the abdominal department of Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center. 23.8% patients (n=5) underwent longitudinal resection of IVC, 23.8% (n=5) - circular resection and ligation of IVC, 23.8% (n=5) - circular resection and ligation of IVC, left renal vein ligation, 9.5% (n=2) - circular resection and replacement of IVC, 9.5% (n=2) - circular resection and replacement of IVC, ligation of left renal vein, 9.5% (n=2) - circular resection and replacement of IVC, left renal vein implantation into the prosthesis. RESULTS: The incidence of postoperative complications was 38% (n=8). Postoperative mortality was 4.8% (n=1). R1-resection was made in 4.8% patients (n=1). 1- and 2-year recurrence-free survival was 67% and 50% respectively. Overall 1- and 2-year survival was 86% and 68% respectively. CONCLUSION: In patients with leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava surgery is feasible and safe with satisfactory long-term results.

[Iliac arteries and aortic repair in patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma]. / Plastika podvzdoshnykh arterii i aorty u bol'nykh neorgannoi zabriushinnoi sarkomoi (s kommentariem).

AIM: To evaluate the results of surgical treatment in patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma and invasion into great vessels. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For the period 2009-2016 fourteenth patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma underwent resection and repair of great vessels at the abdominal department of N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center. In 12 cases circular resection of infrarenal aorta, aortic bifurcation and iliac arteries followed by their replacement was made. 2 patients underwent circular resection of iliac arteries. RESULTS: Postoperative morbidity was 42.8%. There was no postoperative mortality. 10 of 14 patients are alive from 2 to 70 months after surgery. One patient died in 2 months postoperatively from unknown reasons, 3 patients died in 18, 20 and 30 months respectively due to progression of the disease. CONCLUSION: Overall survival and acceptable surgical risk underline the value of en block resection of retroperitoneal sarcoma together with involvement blood vessels.

[Surgical strategy for locally-advanced right-sided colonic cancer]. / Strategiia khirurgicheskogo lecheniia mestno-rasprostranennogo raka pravoi poloviny obodochnoi kishki.

AIM: To present early and remote surgical outcomes in patients with locally-advanced right-sided colonic cancer, invasion of pancreatic head and/or duodenal wall. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Early and remote surgical outcomes were analyzed in 27 patients who underwent gastropancreatoduodenectomy combined with right-sided hemicolectomy (ileotransversostomy extirpation) for locally-advanced right-sided colonic cancer. RESULTS: Mean time of surgery was 300 (240-460) minutes, intraoperative blood loss - 2000 (500-7200) ml. Postoperative complications were observed in 15 (55.6%) patients. 3 (11.1%) patients died in early postoperative period. Overall 1-, 3- and 5-year survival was 92.7%, 48% and 36,5% respectively. Median was 33 months. CONCLUSION: Advanced combined surgery for locally-advanced right-sided colonic cancer, invasion of pancreatic head and/or duodenal wall is associated with acceptable incidence of postoperative complications, early and long-term mortality.

[Celiac trunk resection in patients with pancreatic cancer and severe pain syndrome]. / Rezektsiya chrevnogo stvola pri rake tela i khvosta podzheludochnoi zhelezy u bol'nykh s vyrazhennym bolevym sindromom.

AIM: To show the advisability, satisfactory tolerance and good analgesic effect of surgery for pancreatic ductal carcinoma with celiac trunk invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Distal subtotal pancreatectomy with resection of celiac trunk and common hepatic artery was made in 21 patients. RESULTS: Early postoperative complications after distal subtotal pancreatectomy with celiac trunk resection occurred in 10 (47.6%) patients. There was no postoperative mortality. Resection edges including retroperitoneal space and pancreas did not contain tumor cells according to histological examination. Complete analgesic effect was obtained in 100% of patients after distal subtotal pancreatectomy with celiac trunk resection and neurodissection. 1- and 2-year survival was 59.1% and 21.5% respectively in patients with locally advanced pancreatic ductal carcinoma who underwent distal subtotal pancreatectomy with celiac trunk resection, median - 13 months, maximum lifetime - 57 months. CONCLUSION: Distal subtotal pancreatectomy with resection of celiac trunk and common hepatic artery is safe, provides significant analgesic effect, increases resectability and expands the indications for pancreatectomy.
