RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a poorly immunogenic malignancy associated with limited survival. Syngeneic immunocompetent mouse models of CCA are an essential tool to elucidate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), understand mechanisms of tumor immune evasion, and test novel immunotherapeutic strategies. The scope of this study was to develop and characterize immunocompetent CCA models with distinct genetic drivers, and correlate tumor genomics, immunobiology, and therapeutic response. METHODS: A multifaceted approach including scRNA-seq, CITE-seq, whole exome and bulk RNA sequencing was employed. FDA-approved PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies were tested in humanized PD-1/PD-L1 mice (HuPD-H1). RESULTS: A genetic mouse model of intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) driven by intrabiliary transduction of Fbxw7ΔF/Akt that mimics human iCCA was generated. From the Fbxw7ΔF/Akt tumors, a murine cell line (FAC) and syngeneic model with genetic and phenotypic characteristics of human iCCA were developed. Established SB1 (YAPS127A/Akt) and KPPC (KrasG12Dp53L/L) models were compared to the FAC model. Although the models had transcriptomic similarities, they had substantial differences as well. Mutation patterns of FAC, SB1, and KPPC cells matched different mutational signatures in Western and Japanese CCA patient cohorts. KPPC tumors had a high tumor mutation burden. FAC tumors had a T cell-infiltrated TIME, while SB1 tumors had a preponderance of suppressive myeloid cells. FAC, SB1, and KPPC tumors matched different immune signatures in human iCCA cohorts. Moreover, FAC, SB1, and KPPC tumor-bearing HuPD-H1 mice displayed differential responses to nivolumab or durvalumab. CONCLUSIONS: Syngeneic iCCA models display a correlation between tumor genotype and TIME phenotype, with differential responses to FDA-approved immunotherapies. This study underscores the importance of leveraging multiple preclinical models to understand responses to immunotherapy in different genetic subsets of human CCA. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS: Understanding the relationship between tumor genotype and the phenotype of the immune microenvironment is an unmet need in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Herein, we use syngeneic murine models of intrahepatic CCA with different genetic drivers to demonstrate a correlation between tumor genotype and immune microenvironment phenotype in murine models, which is associated with differential responses to FDA-approved immunotherapies. This information will help guide other preclinical studies. Additionally, it emphasizes that immune checkpoint inhibition in patients with CCA is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Our observations suggest that, as for targeted therapies, patients should be stratified and selected for treatment according to their tumor genetics.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe long-term quality of life (QOL) and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer in the modern era. BACKGROUND: As advances in pancreatic cancer management improve outcomes, it is essential to assess long-term patient-reported outcomes after surgery. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative intent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer between January 2011 and June 2019 from a single center were identified. Patients alive ≥3 years after surgery were considered long-term survivors (LTS). LTS who were alive in June 2022 received a 55-question survey to assess their QOL (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and GI symptoms (EORTC-PAN26 and Problem Areas in Diabetes Questionnaire). Responses were compared against population norms. Clinicodemographic characteristics in LTS versus non-LTS and survey completion were compared. RESULTS: Six hundred seventy-two patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer; 340 were LTS. One hundred thirty-seven patients of the 238 eligible to complete the survey responded (response rate: 58%). Compared to the US general population, LTS reported significantly higher QOL (75 vs 64; P <0.001), less nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, and constipation, but more diarrhea (all P <0.001). Most patients (n=136/137, 99%) reported experiencing postoperative GI symptoms related to pancreatic insufficiency (n=71/135, 53%), reflux (n=61/135, 45%), and delayed gastric emptying (n=31/136, 23%). Most patients (n=113/136, 83%) reported that digestive symptoms overall had little to no impact on QOL, and 91% (n=124/136) would undergo surgery again. CONCLUSIONS: Despite known long-term complications following pancreatoduodenectomy, cancer survivors appear to have excellent QOL. Specific long-term gastrointestinal symptoms data should be utilized for preoperative education and follow-up planning.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive hepatectomy can improve survival and symptoms of hormonal excess in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (siNET) liver metastases, but whether to proceed when peritoneal metastases are encountered at the time of planned cytoreductive hepatectomy is controversial. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of patients who underwent surgical management of metastatic siNETs at Mayo Clinic between 2000 and 2020. Patients who underwent cytoreductive operation for isolated liver metastases or both liver and peritoneal metastases were compared. RESULTS: Of 261 patients who underwent cytoreductive operation for siNETs, 211 had isolated liver metastases and 50 had liver and peritoneal metastases. Complete cytoreduction was achieved in 78% of patients with isolated liver metastases and 56% of those with liver and peritoneal metastases (p = 0.002). After complete cytoreduction, median overall survival (OS) was 11.5 years for isolated liver metastases and 11.2 years for liver and peritoneal metastases (p = 0.10), and relief of carcinoid syndrome was ≥ 97% in both groups. After incomplete cytoreduction with debulking of > 90% of hepatic disease and/or closing Lyon score of 1-2, median OS was 6.4 years for isolated liver metastases and 7.1 years for liver and peritoneal metastases (p = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with siNETs metastatic to both the liver and peritoneum have favorable outcomes after aggressive surgical cytoreduction, with the best outcomes observed after complete cytoreduction. Therefore, the presence of peritoneal metastases should not by itself preclude surgical cytoreduction in this population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The management of invasive intraductal papillary mucinous cystic neoplasm (I-IPMN) does not differ from de novo pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, I-IPMNs are debated to have better prognosis. Despite being managed similarly to PDAC, no data are available on the response of I-IPMN to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: All patients undergoing pancreatic resection for a pancreatic adenocarcinoma from 2011 to 2022 were included. The PDAC and I-IPMN cohorts were compared to evaluate response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: This study included 1052 PDAC patients and 105 I-IPMN patients. NAT was performed in 25% of I-IPMN patients and 65% of PDAC patients. I-IPMN showed a similar pattern of pathological response to NAT compared with PDAC (p = 0.231). Furthermore, positron emission tomography (PET) response (71% vs. 61%; p = 0.447), CA19.9 normalization (85% vs. 76%, p = 0.290), and radiological response (32% vs. 37%, p = 0.628) were comparable between I-IPMN and PDAC. A significantly higher OS and disease-free survival (DFS) of I-IPMN was denoted by Kaplan-Meier analysis, with a p-value of < 0.001 in both plots. In a multivariate analysis, I-IPMN histology was independently associated with lower risk of recurrence and death. CONCLUSIONS: I-IPMN patients have a longer OS and DFS after surgical treatment when compared with PDAC patients. The more favorable oncologic outcome of I-IPMNs does not seem to be related to early detection, as I-IPMN histological subclass is independently associated with a lower risk of disease recurrence. Moreover, neoadjuvant effect on I-IPMN was non-inferior to PDAC in terms of pathological, CA19.9, PET, and radiological response and thus can be considered in selected patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), complications of portal hypertension, and disease recurrence determine the outcome for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing liver resection. This study aimed to evaluate the von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF-Ag) as a non-invasive test for clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) and a predictive biomarker for time to recurrence (TTR) and overall survival (OS). METHODS: The study recruited 72 HCC patients with detailed preoperative workup from a prospective trial (NCT02118545) and followed for complications, TTR, and OS. Additionally, 163 compensated patients with resectable HCC were recruited to evaluate vWF-Ag cutoffs for ruling out or ruling in CSPH. Finally, vWF-Ag cutoffs were prospectively evaluated in an external validation cohort of 34 HCC patients undergoing liver resection. RESULTS: In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, vWF-Ag (area under the curve [AUC], 0.828) was similarly predictive of PHLF as indocyanine green clearance (disappearance rate: AUC, 0.880; retention rate: AUC, 0.894), whereas computation of future liver remnant was inferior (AUC, 0.756). Cox-regression showed an association of vWF-Ag with TTR (per 10%: hazard ratio [HR], 1.056; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.017-1.097) and OS (per 10%: HR, 1.067; 95% CI 1.022-1.113). In the analyses, VWF-Ag yielded an AUC of 0.824 for diagnosing CSPH, with a vWF-Ag of 182% or lower ruling out and higher than 291% ruling in CSPH. Therefore, a highest-risk group (> 291%, 9.7% of patients) with a 57.1% incidence of PHLF was identified, whereas no patient with a vWF-Ag of 182% or lower (52.7%) experienced PHLF. The predictive value of vWF-Ag for PHLF and OS was externally validated. CONCLUSION: For patients with resectable HCC, VWF-Ag allows for simplified preoperative risk stratification. Patients with vWF-Ag levels higher than 291% might be considered for alternative treatments, whereas vWF-Ag levels of 182% or lower identify patients best suited for surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical cytoreduction for neuroendocrine tumor liver metastasis (NETLM) consistently shows positive long-term outcomes. Despite reservations in guidelines for surgery when the primary tumor is unidentified (UP-NET), this study compared the surgical and oncologic long-term outcomes between patients with these rare cases undergoing cytoreductive surgery and patients who had liver resection for known primaries. METHODS: The study identified 32 unknown primary liver metastases (UP-NETLM) in 522 retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent resection of well-differentiated NETLM between January 2000 and December 2020. Tumor and patient characteristics were compared with those in 490 cases of liver metastasis from small intestinal (SI-NETLM) or pancreatic (pNETLM) primaries. Survival analysis was performed to highlight long-term outcome differences. Surgical outcomes were compared between liver resections alone and simultaneous primary resections to assess surgical risk distinctions. RESULTS: The UP-NET patients had fewer NETLMs (p = 0.004), which on the average were larger than SI-NETLMs or pNETLMs (p = 0.002). Expression of Ki-67 was balanced among the groups. Major hepatectomy was performed more often in the UP-NETLM group (p = 0.017). The 10-year survival rate of 53% for UP-NETLM was comparable with that for SI-NETML (58%; p = 0.463) and pNETLMs (47%; p = 0.497). The median hepatic progression-free survival was 26 months for the UP-NETLM patients and 25 months for the SI-NETLM patients compared to 12 months for the pNETLM patients (p < 0.001). Perioperative mortality was lower than 2%, and severe postoperative morbidity occurred in 21%, similarly distributed among all the groups. CONCLUSION: The surgical risk and long-term outcomes for the UP-NETLM patients were comparable with those for other NETLM cases, affirming the validity of equally aggressive surgical cytoreduction as a therapeutic option in carefully selected cases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic cancer has a profound impact on patients' lives. However, the long-term financial implications are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: Assess the financial burden of long-term survivors who underwent PD. METHODS: Patients who underwent PD between January 2011 and June 2019 were identified. To evaluate the long-term financial burden, patients surviving ≥ 3 years post-resection were prospectively surveyed using the Comprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST-FACIT) and a customized institutionally developed questionnaire. A logistic regression model predicting high financial toxicity was used to identify predictive factors. RESULTS: Among 238 eligible patients, 137 (57.6%) responded. Responders had a median age of 66 (59-73) years, with 86.7% identifying as financial prosperous or comfortable. However, 33.3% experienced financial distress due to treatment costs, 27.3% demonstrated high financial toxicity on the COST-FACIT survey, and 37.2% made sacrifices to afford treatment. Only 8.9% stated that the treatment costs influenced their decisions, and the majority (85.9%) did not discuss financial implications with healthcare providers. Multivariable analysis identified younger age as a risk factor for high financial toxicity. CONCLUSION: One in three long-term survivors experienced high financial toxicity, with younger age being a predictor. This emphasizes the need for efforts to provide comprehensive support and guidance to patients to navigate their oncological journey.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The introduction of laparoscopy in 1989 revolutionized surgical practices, reducing post-operative complications, and enhancing outcomes. Despite its benefits, limitations in laparoscopic tools have led to continued use of open surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery emerged to address these limitations, but its adoption trends and potential impact on open and laparoscopic surgery require analysis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis used the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) databases from 2012 to 2021. The study encompassed various abdominal procedures, employing Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models to analyze the dynamic relationships between surgical techniques. The models predicted future trends in open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery until Q2 of 2025. RESULTS: The analysis included 360,171 patients across diverse procedures. In urology, robotic surgery dominated prostatectomies (83.1% in 2021) and nephrectomies (55.1% in 2021), while the open approach remained the predominant surgical technique for cystectomies (72.5% in 2021). In general surgery, robotic colectomies were forecasted to surpass laparoscopy, becoming the primary approach by 2024 (45.7% in 2025). Proctectomies also showed a shift towards robotic surgery, predicted to surpass laparoscopy and open surgery by 2025 (32.3%). Pancreatectomies witnessed a steady growth in robotic surgery, surpassing laparoscopy in 2021, with forecasts indicating further increase. While hepatectomies remained predominantly open (70.0% in 2025), esophagectomies saw a rise in robotic surgery, predicted to become the primary approach by 2025 (52.3%). CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests a transformative shift towards robotic-assisted surgery, poised to dominate various minimally invasive procedures. The forecasts indicate that robotic surgery may surpass laparoscopy and open surgery in colectomies, proctectomies, pancreatectomies, and esophagectomies by 2025. This anticipated change emphasizes the need for proactive adjustments in surgical training programs to align with evolving surgical practices. The findings have substantial implications for future healthcare practices, necessitating a balance between traditional laparoscopy and the burgeoning role of robotic-assisted surgery.

RESUMO

Importance: Tranexamic acid reduces bleeding and blood transfusion in many types of surgery, but its effect in patients undergoing liver resection for a cancer-related indication remains unclear. Objective: To determine whether tranexamic acid reduces red blood cell transfusion within 7 days of liver resection. Design, Setting, and Participants: Multicenter randomized clinical trial of tranexamic acid vs placebo conducted from December 1, 2014, to November 8, 2022, at 10 hepatopancreaticobiliary sites in Canada and 1 site in the United States, with 90-day follow-up. Participants, clinicians, and data collectors were blinded to allocation. A volunteer sample of 1384 patients undergoing liver resection for a cancer-related indication met eligibility criteria and consented to randomization. Interventions: Tranexamic acid (1-g bolus followed by 1-g infusion over 8 hours; n = 619) or matching placebo (n = 626) beginning at induction of anesthesia. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was receipt of red blood cell transfusion within 7 days of surgery. Results: The primary analysis included 1245 participants (mean age, 63.2 years; 39.8% female; 56.1% with a diagnosis of colorectal liver metastases). Perioperative characteristics were similar between groups. Red blood cell transfusion occurred in 16.3% of participants (n = 101) in the tranexamic acid group and 14.5% (n = 91) in the placebo group (odds ratio, 1.15 [95% CI, 0.84-1.56]; P = .38; absolute difference, 2% [95% CI, -2% to 6%]). Measured intraoperative blood loss (tranexamic acid, 817.3 mL; placebo, 836.7 mL; P = .75) and total estimated blood loss over 7 days (tranexamic acid, 1504.0 mL; placebo, 1551.2 mL; P = .38) were similar between groups. Participants receiving tranexamic acid experienced significantly more complications compared with placebo (odds ratio, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.02-1.60]; P = .03), with no significant difference in venous thromboembolism (odds ratio, 1.68 [95% CI, 0.95-3.07]; P = .08). Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients undergoing liver resection for a cancer-related indication, tranexamic acid did not reduce bleeding or blood transfusion but increased perioperative complications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) impacts patients in their 60s, but its incidence in younger patients is increasing. We hypothesize that younger patients may have worse oncologic outcomes. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative pancreatic resection for PDAC between January 2011 and December 2021 at a single institution were analyzed. Early-onset pancreatic cancer (EOPC) was defined as pancreatic cancer diagnosed in patients ≤50 years. Clinical and survival outcomes were compared between EOPC and Conventional Onset Pancreas Cancer (COPC). RESULTS: A total of 1133 patients were identified, 65 (5.7%) were EOPC. Preoperative patient characteristics including sex, smoking status, alcohol habitus, diabetes mellitus, CA 19-9, and neoadjuvant therapy were similar between EOPC and COPC (p > 0.05). EOPC patients were more likely non-white (p = 0.03), had lower ASA scores (p = 0.02) and larger median tumor size (33 vs 28 mm, p = 0.04), but had similar pathological stages and rate of R0 resections (p > 0.05). Postoperative outcomes were similar (p > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in overall (HR 0.93, CI 0.64, 1.33; p = 0.68) or recurrence free (HR 1.05, CI 0.75, 1.48; p = 0.77) survival between the EOPC and COPC after adjusting for significant factors. CONCLUSION: Patients with EOPC who underwent surgical resection had similar oncological outcomes compared to patients with COPC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is the second most common hepatic malignancy and has a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the standard of care for patients with resectable disease, representing 30-40% of cases. Increasingly, neoadjuvant systemic therapy is being utilized in patients due to high-risk anatomic or biologic considerations. However, data on the clinical effect of this approach are limited. We performed a cohort study to evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with oncologically high-risk iCCA. METHODS: iCCA patients (n = 181) between the years 2014-2020 were reviewed for clinical, histopathologic, treatment, and outcome-related data. Tumor regression grade was scored per CAP criteria for gastrointestinal carcinomas. RESULTS: 47 iCCA patients received neoadjuvant therapy and 72 did not. Neoadjuvant treatment led to objective response and tumor regression by CAP score. After adjustment for age, clinical stage, and tumor size, the outcomes of patients who had neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery were not significantly different from those patients who had surgery first. DISCUSSION: In conclusion, neoadjuvant therapy in iCCA facilitated surgical care. The progression-free and overall survival for surgical patients with and without neoadjuvant therapy were not significantly different suggesting this approach needs further exploration as an effective treatment paradigm.

RESUMO

Experimental data suggested activation of yes-associated protein (YAP-1) as a critical regulator of liver regeneration (LR). Serotonin (5-HT) promotes LR in rodent models and has been proposed to act via YAP-1. How 5-HT affects LR is incompletely understood. A possible mechanism how 5-HT affects human LR was explored. Sixty-one patients were included. Tissue samples prior and 2 h after induction of LR were collected. Circulating levels of 5-HT and osteopontin (OPN) were assessed. YAP-1, its phosphorylation states, cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) and OPN were assessed using immunofluorescence. A mouse model of biliary epithelial cells (BECs) specific deletion of YAP/TAZ was developed. YAP-1 increased as early as 2 h after induction of LR (p = 0.025) predominantly in BECs. BEC specific deletion of YAP/TAZ reduced LR after 70% partial hepatectomy in mice (Ki67%, p < 0.001). SSRI treatment, depleting intra-platelet 5-HT, abolished YAP-1 and OPN induction upon LR. Portal vein 5-HT levels correlated with intrahepatic YAP-1 expression upon LR (R = 0.703, p = 0.035). OPN colocalized with YAP-1 in BECs and its circulating levels increased in the liver vein 2 h after induction of LR (p = 0.017). In the context of LR tyrosine-phosphorylated YAP-1 significantly increased (p = 0.042). Stimulating BECs with 5-HT resulted in increased YAP-1 activation via tyrosine-phosphorylation and subsequently increased OPN expression. BECs YAP-1 appears to be critical for LR in mice and humans. Our evidence suggests that 5-HT, at least in part, exerts its pro-regenerative effects via YAP-1 tyrosine-phosphorylation in BECs and subsequent OPN-dependent paracrine immunomodulation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: There is an unmet need to develop novel, effective medical therapies for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The Hippo pathway effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP), is oncogenic in CCA, but has historically been difficult to target therapeutically. Recently, we described a novel role for the LCK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase (LCK) in activating YAP through tyrosine phosphorylation. This led to the hypothesis that LCK is a viable therapeutic target in CCA via regulation of YAP activity. METHODS: A novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor with relative selectivity for LCK, NTRC 0652-0, was pharmacodynamically profiled in vitro and in CCA cells. A panel of eight CCA patient-derived organoids were characterized and tested for sensitivity to NTRC 0652-0. Two patient-derived xenograft models bearing fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2)-rearrangements were utilized for in vivo assessment of pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and efficacy. RESULTS: NTRC 0652-0 demonstrated selectivity for LCK inhibition in vitro and in CCA cells. LCK inhibition with NTRC 0652-0 led to decreased tyrosine phosphorylation, nuclear localization, and co-transcriptional activity of YAP, and resulted in apoptotic cell death in CCA cell lines. A subset of tested patient-derived organoids demonstrated sensitivity to NTRC 0652-0. CCAs with FGFR2 fusions were identified as a potentially susceptible and clinically relevant genetic subset. In patient-derived xenograft models of FGFR2 fusion-positive CCA, daily oral treatment with NTRC 0652-0 resulted in stable plasma and tumor drug levels, acceptable toxicity, decreased YAP tyrosine phosphorylation, and significantly decreased tumor growth. CONCLUSIONS: A novel LCK inhibitor, NTRC 0652-0, inhibited YAP signaling and demonstrated preclinical efficacy in CCA cell lines, and patient-derived organoid and xenograft models. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS: Although aberrant YAP activation is frequently seen in CCA, YAP targeted therapies are not yet clinically available. Herein we show that a novel LCK-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (NTRC 0652-0) effectively inhibits YAP tyrosine phosphorylation and cotranscriptional activity and is well tolerated and cytotoxic in multiple preclinical models. The data suggest this approach may be effective in CCA with YAP dependence or FGFR2 fusions, and these findings warrant further investigation in phase I clinical trials.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND: Clinically significant posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF B+C) remains the main cause of mortality after major hepatic resection. This study aimed to establish an APRI+ALBI, aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio (APRI) combined with albumin-bilirubin grade (ALBI), based multivariable model (MVM) to predict PHLF and compare its performance to indocyanine green clearance (ICG-R15 or ICG-PDR) and albumin-ICG evaluation (ALICE). METHODS: 12,056 patients from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database were used to generate a MVM to predict PHLF B+C. The model was determined using stepwise backwards elimination. Performance of the model was tested using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and validated in an international cohort of 2,525 patients. In 620 patients, the APRI+ALBI MVM, trained in the NSQIP cohort, was compared with MVM's based on other liver function tests (ICG clearance, ALICE) by comparing the areas under the curve (AUC). RESULTS: A MVM including APRI+ALBI, age, sex, tumor type and extent of resection was found to predict PHLF B+C with an AUC of 0.77, with comparable performance in the validation cohort (AUC 0.74). In direct comparison with other MVM's based on more expensive and time-consuming liver function tests (ICG clearance, ALICE), the APRI+ALBI MVM demonstrated equal predictive potential for PHLF B+C. A smartphone application for calculation of the APRI+ALBI MVM was designed. CONCLUSION: Risk assessment via the APRI+ALBI MVM for PHLF B+C increases preoperative predictive accuracy and represents an universally available and cost-effective risk assessment prior to hepatectomy, facilitated by a freely available smartphone app.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Distant metastases are the strongest predictor of poor prognosis for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Cytoreductive hepatectomy (CRH) can relieve symptoms of hormonal excess and prolong survival for patients with liver metastases (NETLMs), but long-term outcomes are poorly characterized. METHODS: This retrospective single-institution analysis analyzed patients who underwent CRH for well-differentiated NETLMs from 2000 to 2020. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated symptom-free interval and overall and progression-free survival. Multivariable Cox regression analysis evaluated factors associated with survival. RESULTS: The inclusion criteria were met by 546 patients. The most common primary sites were the small intestine (n = 279) and the pancreas (n = 194). Simultaneous primary tumor resection was performed for 60 % of the cases. Major hepatectomy comprised 27% of the cases, but this rate decreased during the study period (p < 0.001). Major complications occurred in 20%, and the 90-day mortality rate was 1.6%. Functional disease was present in 37 %, and symptomatic relief was achieved in 96%. The median symptom-free interval was 41 months (62 months after complete cytoreduction and 21 months with gross residual disease) (p = 0.021). The median overall survival was 122 months, and progression-free survival was 17 months. In the multivariable analysis, worse overall survival was associated with age, pancreatic primary tumor, Ki-67, number and size of lesions, and extrahepatic metastases, with Ki-67 as the strongest predictor (odds ratio [OR], 1.90 for Ki-67 [3-20%; p = 0.018] and OR, 4.25 for Ki-67 [>20%; p < 0.001]). CONCLUSION: The study showed that CRH for NETLMs is associated with low perioperative morbidity and mortality and excellent overall survival, although the majority will experience recurrence/progression. For patients with functional tumors, CRH can provide durable symptomatic relief.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We assessed the accuracy of preoperative gallium-68 DOTA-Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in estimating multifocality and nodal metastases of small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (sbNETs). METHODS: A multicenter analysis was performed on patients with sbNETs who underwent preoperative DOTATATE PET imaging and surgical resection, with manual palpation of the entire length of the small bowel, between January 2016 and August 2022. Preoperative imaging reports and blinded secondary imaging reviews were compared to the final postoperative pathology reports. Descriptive statistics were applied. RESULTS: One-hundred and four patients met inclusion criteria. Pathology showed 53 (51%) patients had multifocal sbNETs and 96 (92%) had nodal metastases. The original preoperative DOTATATE PET imaging identified multifocal sbNET in 28 (27%) patients and lymph node (LN) metastases in 80 (77%) patients. Based on original radiology reports, sensitivity for multifocal sbNET identification was 45%, specificity was 92%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 86%, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 62%. For the identification of LN metastases, sensitivity was 82%, specificity was 88%, PPV was 99%, and NPV was 29%. CONCLUSIONS: Although DOTATATE PET imaging is specific and relatively accurate, sensitivity and NPV are insufficient to guide surgical planning. Preoperative use should not replace open palpation to identify additional synchronous lesions or to omit regional lymphadenectomy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Data regarding laparoscopic liver resections(LLRs) for Gallbladder cancer(GBC) and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma(iCCA) are sparse. This study compared LLRs with open liver resections(OLRs) in a high-volume center. METHODS: Data of patients who underwent LLR or OLR for GBC or iCCA at Mayo-Clinic between 01/2016 and 04/2021 were retrospectively compared. Proportional hazards models were used to compare the approach on survival. RESULTS: 32 and 52 patients underwent LLR and OLR during the study period, respectively. 64 and 20 patients had iCCA and GBC, respectively. LLR had lower median blood loss (250 mL vs. 475 mL, p = 0.001) and shorter median length of stay compared to OLR (3.0 days vs. 6.0 days, p = 0.001). LLR and OLR did not differ in post-operative major complication (25% vs. 32.7%, p = 0.62), negative margin (100% vs. 90.4%, p = 0.15) and completeness of lymphadenectomy rates (36.8% vs. 45.5%, p = 0.59). The median number of harvested lymph node was 4.0 and 5.0 for LLR and OLR, respectively (p = 0.347). There were no associations between approach and 3-year overall and disease-free survival between LLR and OLR (49.8% vs. 63.2% and 39.6% vs. 21.5%, p = 0.66 and p = 0.69). DISCUSSION: With appropriate patient selection and when compared to OLRs, LLRs for GBC and iCCA are feasible, safe and offer potential short-term benefits without compromising on oncological resection principals and long-term outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Open combined resections of colorectal primary tumors and synchronous liver metastases have become common in selected cases. However, evidences favoring a minimally invasive (MIS) approach are still limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of MIS vs. open synchronous liver and colorectal resections. METHODS: 384 cases of synchronous colorectal and liver resections performed at one institution were identified during the study period. MIS vs open approach were compared after a propensity score matching; surgical outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: MIS cases featured longer operative time (399 vs 300 min, p < 0.001), fewer blood loss (200 vs 500 ml, p = 0.003), and shorter hospitalization (median LOS 4 vs 6 days, p = 0.001). No difference was observed between the two groups for use of Pringle maneuver (p = 0.083), intraoperative blood transfusion (p = 0.061), achievement of negative colorectal (p = 0.176) and liver margins (p = 1.000), postoperative complications (p = 1.000) and significant (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3a) complications (p = 0.817), delay of adjuvant therapy due to complications (p = 0.555), 30- and 90-day mortality. CONCLUSION: Synchronous colorectal and liver metastases resections via a minimally-invasive approach in high-volume centers with appropriate expertise result in significantly lower blood loss and length of stay despite longer operative time in comparison to open, with no oncological inferiority.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite multiple randomized trials, the role of perioperative chemotherapy in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) is still under debate. In this systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA), we aim to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative systemic therapies for patients with CRLM. METHODS: We searched various databases for abstracts and full-text articles published from database inception through May 2021.We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the addition of perioperative (post, pre, or both) systemic therapies to surgery alone in patients with CRLM. The outcomes were compared according to the chemotherapy regimen using a random effects model. Outcomes of interest included disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Seven RCTs with a total of 1504 patients with CRLM were included. Six studies included post-operative treatment and one evaluated perioperative (pre- and postoperative) therapy. Fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy was the most used systemic therapy. NMA showed benefit of adding perioperative therapy to surgery in terms of DFS (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.63 to 0.84). However, these findings did not translate into a statistically significant OS benefit (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.05). NMA did not show any advantage of one regimen over another including oxaliplatin or irinotecan. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review and NMA of 7 RCTs found that the addition of perioperative systemic treatment for resectable CRLM could improve disease-free survival but not overall survival. Based on the findings, addition of perioperative treatment in resectable CRLM should be individualized weighing the risks and benefits.
