RESUMO
Background/Aim: The present study examined the impact of circular stapler size on anastomotic complications, including leakage and stricture in patients undergoing double-stapling technique (DST) anastomosis for left-sided colon or rectal cancer. Patients and Methods: A total of 403 patients were enrolled in this study, with circular stapler sizes of 25, 28, and 29 mm. Results: A small circular stapler (25 mm) was used in 170 cases (42.2%), and a medium-sized circular stapler (28/29 mm) was used in 233 cases (57.8%). After propensity score matching, there was no marked difference in the incidence of anastomotic leakage/stricture between the groups (13.9% vs. 10.9%, 3.0% vs. 1.0%, respectively). Conclusion: The size of the circular stapler was not associated with the incidence of anastomotic leakage or stricture in this cohort.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND/AIM: In colorectal cancer surgery, the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) is relatively high. The development of SSI is related to longer and costlier hospitalization and reduced quality of life; therefore, perioperative prevention of SSI is important. Chemical bowel preparation (CBP) combined with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) may be more effective in preventing surgical site infection (SSI) compared to MBP alone. Since May 2021, we have been administering oral kanamycin and metronidazole as CBP, in addition to MBP, as a preoperative treatment for colorectal cancer surgery on the day before surgery. In this study, we investigated the clinical value of CBP in addition to MBP in colorectal cancer surgery using propensity score matching (PSM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 2017 to December 2021, 136 consecutive patients underwent radical surgery for sigmoid colon and rectal cancer at the Osaka Metropolitan University Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: CBP and N-CBP. In the N-CBP group, we performed only preoperative MBP, whereas in the CBP group, we performed preoperative CBP in addition to MBP. We retrospectively analyzed this relationship with PSM. RESULTS: Overall, 46 patients underwent preoperative CBP and MBP, 90 patients underwent preoperative MBP only. PSM was performed between the CBP and N-CBP groups based on the following ten factors: age, sex, diabetes mellitus, preoperative therapy, Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), operative time, blood loss, stoma, and pathological stage. After PSM, univariate and multivariate analyses of the relationship between SSI and clinicopathological factors were performed. Univariate analysis showed that age and CBP were correlated with the rate of SSI (p=0.039 and p=0.017, respectively), whereas sex was relatively correlated with the rate of SSI (p=0.066). The multivariate analysis of significant factors identified age of 75 or more and non-CBP as an independent risk factor for incisional SSI (HR=9.5; p=0.049 and HR=5.4×e-8; p=0.020). CONCLUSION: Preoperative CBP in addition to MBP was effective in preventing incisional SSI during colorectal cancer surgery.

The early mechanisms of spontaneous tumor initiation that precede malignancy are largely unknown. We show that reduced aPKC levels correlate with stem cell loss and the induction of revival and metaplastic programs in serrated- and conventional-initiated premalignant lesions, which is perpetuated in colorectal cancers (CRCs). Acute inactivation of PKCλ/ι in vivo and in mouse organoids is sufficient to stimulate JNK in non-transformed intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), which promotes cell death and the rapid loss of the intestinal stem cells (ISCs), including those that are LGR5+. This is followed by the accumulation of revival stem cells (RSCs) at the bottom of the crypt and fetal-metaplastic cells (FMCs) at the top, creating two spatiotemporally distinct cell populations that depend on JNK-induced AP-1 and YAP. These cell lineage changes are maintained during cancer initiation and progression and determine the aggressive phenotype of human CRC, irrespective of their serrated or conventional origin.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a target gene of the Hippo signaling pathway. Its differential role in the histological types of gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown; therefore, the present study aimed to confirm the clinical significance of CTGF expression in cancer and stromal cells in patients with GC depending on the histological type. The present study enrolled 589 patients with GC. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze CTGF expression in cancer and stromal cells. CTGF mRNA expression data and the corresponding clinical information of GC samples were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Subsequently, the associations between CTGF expression and several clinicopathological factors were investigated. In the present study, CTGF expression was mainly observed in the cytoplasm of cancer and stromal cells. CTGF expression in stromal cells was significantly associated with CTGF expression in cancer cells (P<0.001). CTGF positivity in stromal cells was also significantly associated with intestinal type, non-scirrhous type, tumor depth (T1-2), lymph node metastasis (negative), lymphatic invasion (negative) and tumor size (<5 cm). Low CTGF expression in stromal cells was independently associated with worse overall survival (OS). Furthermore, the OS of patients with low CTGF expression in stromal cells, especially in patients with diffuse-type GC, was significantly worse than patients with high CTGF expression (P=0.022). This trend was similar to that revealed by TCGA data analysis. In conclusion, low CTGF expression was associated with a significantly worse OS in patients with diffuse-type GC. These data indicated that CTGF, and its control by the Hippo pathway, may be considered potential treatment targets in diffuse-type GC.

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted surgery is steadily becoming more prominent. The majority of reports regarding port site hernias (PSHs) have involved laparoscopic procedures. Currently, it is common to suture the fascia at port sites that are 10 mm or larger; however, the closure of 5-mm port sites is not considered mandatory. The da Vinci® surgical system (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) utilizes a distinctive 8-mm port. We report a case of an early-onset PSH at an 8-mm port site after robotic-assisted ileocecal resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old male patient with a body mass index of 19.7 kg/m2 was diagnosed with cecal cancer and underwent robotic-assisted ileocecal resection. A 3-cm midline incision was made at the umbilicus for insufflation. Under laparoscopic visualization, three ports (12 mm, 8 mm, and 8 mm) were inserted in the lower abdomen. An 8-mm port was inserted in the left subcostal region, and a 5-mm port was inserted in the left lateral abdomen. The procedure was performed without significant intraoperative complications. The fascia was closed only at the umbilicus and 12-mm port site; the fascia at the 8-mm port sites was not closed. The patient was initially discharged without complications; however, on postoperative day 11, the patient was urgently hospitalized again because of PSH incarceration. After manual reduction, the fascia was sutured closed under local anesthesia. The hernial defect was small and barely allowed the insertion of a little finger. There was no evidence of compression or significant damage to the fascia. On postoperative day 27, the patient was discharged after experiencing good recovery. CONCLUSIONS: Robotic-assisted colectomy could contribute to the risk of PSHs because of its surgical characteristics. Although routine closure of the fascia at 8-mm port sites is not mandatory, it may be beneficial in certain cases.
RESUMO
Introduction: Reexposure to anti-EGFR antibodies, such as a reintroduction or rechallenge with anti-EGFR antibodies, has attracted much attention in the field of metastatic colorectal cancer. A reintroduction of anti-EGFR antibodies often shows good therapeutic outcomes, as most patients eligible for such reintroduction discontinued treatment due to adverse events despite a good treatment response during front-line treatment. We herein report a case demonstrating an improvement in exertional dyspnea after the reintroduction of anti-EGFR antibody in a patient with metastatic rectal cancer who developed cancerous lymphangiopathy. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man who had undergone curative surgery for stage IIIB rectal cancer was diagnosed with multiple lung metastases. During the late-line treatment, respiratory failure developed because of multiple lung metastases and cancerous lymphangiopathy. Two months after the initiation of irinotecan + cetuximab, which had been discontinued due to acneiform eruptions despite a good treatment response as a first-line treatment, his dyspnea and performance status dramatically improved. Conclusion: This case indicates that the reintroduction of anti-EGFR antibody to patients who have discontinued anti-EGFR antibody due to skin toxicity despite a good treatment response is a very useful treatment option for metastatic colorectal cancer.
RESUMO
PURPOSES: Subtotal esophagectomy for esophageal cancer (EC) is associated with high morbidity rates. Tight glycemic control using an artificial pancreas (AP) is one of the promising strategies to reduce postoperative inflammation and morbidities. However, the effects of tight glycemic control using AP in patients with EC are yet to be fully elucidated. METHOD: This study reviewed 96 patients with EC who underwent subtotal esophagectomy. The postoperative inflammation parameters and morbidity rates were compared between patients who used the AP (n = 27) or not (control group, n = 69). AP is a closed-loop system that comprises a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump. RESULTS: The numbers of white blood cells (WBC) and Neutrophils (Neut) were noted to be lower in the AP group than in the control group, but with no significant difference. The ratio in which the number of WBC, Neut, and CRP on each postoperative day (POD) was divided by those tested preoperatively was used to standardize the results. The ratio of WBC and Neut on 1POD was significantly lower in the AP group than in the control group. The rate of surgical site infection was lower in the AP group than in the control group. CONCLUSION: AP significantly decreased WBC and Neut on 1POD; this suggests the beneficial effects of AP in alleviating postoperative inflammation.

BACKGROUND: For patients with gastric cancer, a well-balanced treatment that considers both oncological aspects and surgical risk is demanded. This study aimed to explore the optimal extent of lymph node dissection (LND) for patients with gastric cancer according to surgical risk, stratified by the risk calculator system produced by the Japan National Clinical Database (NCD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 187 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Using the median predicted anastomotic leak rate obtained by the NCD risk calculator as the cutoff value, we classified 97 and 90 patients as having high and low risks, respectively. RESULTS: In low-risk patients, although limited LND reduced the postoperative intraabdominal infectious complications (IAIC), multivariate analysis revealed standard LND as an independent prognostic factor that improved Relapse-free survival (RFS). In high-risk patients, the rates of postoperative IAIC and RFS were similar between standard and limited LND. Pancreatic fistula was not observed in the limited dissection group. CONCLUSION: Limited LND might be the optimal treatment strategy for patients with gastric cancer with high surgical risk.

Purpose: To examine the molecular biological differences between conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and orbital MALT lymphoma in ocular adnexa lymphoma. Methods: Observational case series. A total of 129 consecutive, randomized cases of ocular adnexa MALT lymphoma diagnosed histopathologically between 2008 and 2020.Total RNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue from ocular adnexa MALT lymphoma, and RNA-sequencing was performed. Orbital MALT lymphoma gene expression was compared with that of conjunctival MALT lymphoma. Gene set (GS) analysis detecting for gene set cluster was performed in RNA-sequence. Related proteins were further examined by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, artificial segmentation image used to count stromal area in HE images. Results: GS analysis showed differences in expression in 29 GS types in primary orbital MALT lymphoma (N=5,5, FDR q-value <0.25). The GS with the greatest difference in expression was the GS of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Based on this GS change, immunohistochemical staining was added using E-cadherin as an epithelial marker and vimentin as a mesenchymal marker for EMT. There was significant staining of vimentin in orbital lymphoma (P<0.01, N=129) and of E-cadherin in conjunctival lesions (P=0.023, N=129). Vimentin staining correlated with Ann Arbor staging (1 versus >1) independent of age and sex on multivariate analysis (P=0.004). Stroma area in tumor were significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusion: GS changes including EMT and stromal area in tumor were used to demonstrate the molecular biological differences between conjunctival MALT lymphoma and orbital MALT lymphoma in ocular adnexa lymphomas.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND/AIM: The adoption of intracorporeal anastomosis in minimally invasive surgery for colon cancer has gradually expanded owing to its many advantages. However, intracorporeal anastomosis has the disadvantage of a longer operative time than extracorporeal anastomosis. One reason that intracorporeal anastomosis takes longer to perform is the closure of the common enterotomy. The present study evaluated the effect of bidirectional barbed sutures on the duration of common enterotomy closure in intracorporeal anastomosis for minimally invasive colectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The time required for common enterotomy closure was measured with a simulator using an intestinal model. A two-layer suture with continuous full-thickness suture followed by a continuous serosal-muscular suture was adopted. The time required to close the common enterotomy using two unidirectional barbed sutures and one bidirectional barbed suture was measured five times each. RESULTS: The duration of common enterotomy closure using bidirectional barbed suture was significantly shorter than that using two conventional barbed sutures. CONCLUSION: Bidirectional barbed sutures are useful for closing the common enterotomy in intracorporeal anastomosis for minimally invasive colectomy.

The metabolic and signaling pathways regulating aggressive mesenchymal colorectal cancer (CRC) initiation and progression through the serrated route are largely unknown. Although relatively well characterized as BRAF mutant cancers, their poor response to current targeted therapy, difficult preneoplastic detection, and challenging endoscopic resection make the identification of their metabolic requirements a priority. Here, we demonstrate that the phosphorylation of SCAP by the atypical PKC (aPKC), PKCλ/ι promotes its degradation and inhibits the processing and activation of SREBP2, the master regulator of cholesterol biosynthesis. We show that the upregulation of SREBP2 and cholesterol by reduced aPKC levels is essential for controlling metaplasia and generating the most aggressive cell subpopulation in serrated tumors in mice and humans. Since these alterations are also detected prior to neoplastic transformation, together with the sensitivity of these tumors to cholesterol metabolism inhibitors, our data indicate that targeting cholesterol biosynthesis is a potential mechanism for serrated chemoprevention.

Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) in laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colon cancer (RSCC) requires a precise understanding of the vascular anatomy. The efficacy of intraoperative ultrasound (IUS) in the identification of blood vessels for RSCC surgery was not evaluated. The aim of this study was to compare the intraoperative and short-term outcomes of CME with CVL with or without IUS by laparoscopic surgery for RSCC. We performed IUS on 26 patients of RSCC and compared with a total of 124 patients who underwent the surgery for RSCC at our institution. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the confounding effects to imbalances in the use of IUS. The IUS identified the main feeding artery and the accompanying vein in all 26 cases. After PSM, the amount of intraoperative blood loss in the IUS group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group (5 ml vs. 30 ml, p = 0.035) and no significant difference of the postoperative complications was observed. The IUS reduced the risk of bleeding in the surgery for RSCC. The IUS is a safe and feasible technique that help the surgeons for anatomical understandings under real-time condition in the laparoscopic surgery of RSCC.

BACKGROUND/AIM: CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) in tumor sites are associated with a favorable prognosis and predict the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors. The detection of CD103+ TRM infiltration in biopsy samples could be beneficial for patients without surgical indications. However, the usefulness of TRM detection in biopsy tissue and the difference in TRM status between biopsy and surgical specimens' post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy have not been elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate whether we can detect TRM in biopsy specimens and the impact of chemotherapy on TRM infiltration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tissue sections were obtained from 46 patients with esophageal cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent radical esophagectomy in 2017. Immunohistochemistry was performed using an anti-CD103 antibody for biopsy and surgical specimens. We examined the relationship between CD103 expression, clinicopathological features, and prognosis for each patient. RESULTS: TRM infiltration was detected in the biopsy specimens. CD103 expression in biopsy specimens correlated with that in surgical specimens. Although there was no statistical significance in clinicopathological findings between CD103high and CD103low, patients with CD103high biopsy specimens exhibited favorable prognosis. The number of CD103+ cells was increased by chemotherapy: though with no survival benefit. CONCLUSION: Regardless of surgical indication, we were able to determine the TRM status even in biopsy specimens. CD103 evaluation at biopsy may be more useful and practical than evaluation in surgical specimens, enabling prediction of prognosis and response to immune therapy.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs)remodel the extracellular matrix(ECM)and shape the tumor microenvironment (TME), resulting in immune escape and the promotion of tumor metastasis. Using an orthotopic tumor model of colorectal cancers(CRCs)in mice, we demonstrated that the single-cell RNA sequencing of orthotopic rectal tumors identified a subpopulation of CAFs that modulate the immune response. In this review, we report that understanding the role of CAFs in the TME concerning tumor immunity may lead to future avenues for CAF-targeted therapy.

BACKGROUND: Thoracic duct cysts are extremely rare mediastinal tumors. We report a case of a thoracic duct cyst extending from the caudal aspect of the left main bronchus to the left renal artery that was safely and completely resected via bilateral thoracoscopic surgery in the prone position. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old male was referred to our hospital for follow-up computed tomography (CT) of prostate cancer, which revealed a mediastinal tumor and fatty low-density along the posterior mediastinum of the para-aortic artery with a slightly high-density component. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a T2-weighted image with high intensity. The preoperative radiological diagnosis was lipoma or well-differentiated liposarcoma. CT in the prone position suggested that the tumor could be resected from the thoracic cavity to the caudal side, and bilateral thoracoscopic surgery was performed in the prone position. Based on the surgical findings, the tumor was diagnosed as a thoracic duct cyst rather than a lipoma. Dissection around the thoracic duct cyst was performed using a vessel-sealing system to prevent leakage of the chyle, and reliable clipping was performed to resect the cisterna chyli. Histopathological examination revealed smooth muscle structures around the cyst, suggestive of a thoracic duct cyst. The diagnosis of a thoracic duct cyst was made based on a high triglyceride level of 1310 mg/dL on examination of the milky-white cyst fluid. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged 4 days postoperatively. A CT scan performed 13 months after surgery showed no recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: A rare thoracic duct cyst extending from the mediastinum to the cisterna chyli was safely and completely resected using bilateral thoracoscopic surgery, with the patient in the prone position.
RESUMO
Mesenchymal activation, characterized by dense stromal infiltration of immune and mesenchymal cells, fuels the aggressiveness of colorectal cancers (CRC), driving progression and metastasis. Targetable molecules in the tumor microenvironment (TME) need to be identified to improve the outcome in CRC patients with this aggressive phenotype. This study reports a positive link between high thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) expression and mesenchymal characteristics, immunosuppression, and unfavorable CRC prognosis. Bone marrow-derived monocyte-like cells recruited by CXCL12 are the primary source of THBS1, which contributes to the development of metastasis by inducing cytotoxic T-cell exhaustion and impairing vascularization. Furthermore, in orthotopically generated CRC models in male mice, THBS1 loss in the TME renders tumors partially sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-cancer drugs. Our study establishes THBS1 as a potential biomarker for identifying mesenchymal CRC and as a critical suppressor of antitumor immunity that contributes to the progression of this malignancy with a poor prognosis.

BACKGROUND: The powered circular stapler, which was developed with the aim of providing reliable and reproducible anastomosis, provides complete anastomosis, resulting in a reduced risk of anastomotic leakage. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of anastomotic leakage between a conventional manual circular stapler (MCS) and the ECHELON CIRCULAR™ Powered Stapler (ECPS) in patients with left-sided colorectal cancer who underwent anastomosis with the double stapling technique. METHODS: A total of 187 patients with left-sided colorectal cancer who underwent anastomosis with the double stapling technique with a conventional MCS or the ECPS during surgery at Osaka City University Hospital between January 2016 and July 2022 were enrolled in this study. RESULTS: The incidence of anastomotic leakage in the ECPS group was significantly lower than that in the MCS group (4.4% versus 14.3%, p = 0.048). Furthermore, even after propensity score matching, an association was found between the use of the ECPS and a reduced incidence of anastomotic leakage. CONCLUSION: The ECPS has the potential to help reduce the rate of anastomotic leakage in left-sided colorectal surgery.

BACKGROUND/AIM: In addition to oncological and treatment factors, the outcomes of cancer treatment are greatly influenced by host factors, such as the nutritional status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the preoperative nutritional status and the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients using three nutritional indices. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The target cohort consisted of 529 patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer, who underwent curative surgery between January 2015 and December 2019. The nutritional indices were calculated according to the equations that follow. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI)=10×serum albumin concentration (g/dl) +0.005×peripheral lymphocyte count (/µl). Nutritional risk index (NRI)=15.19×serum albumin concentration (g/dl)+41.7×present weight/usual weight. Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI)=14.89×serum albumin concentration (g/dl)+41.7×present weight/ideal weight. Ideal weight was calculated as follows: height(cm)-100-[(height(cm)-150)/4] for men and height(cm)-100-[(height(cm)-150)/2.5] for women. RESULTS: In common with all nutritional indices (PNI, NRI and GNRI), the low-nutritional index group had significantly lower relapse-free and overall survival rates than the high-nutritional index group. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis according to the NRI showed the association of the NRI with the patient prognosis for each stage. CONCLUSION: The preoperative nutritional status may have a close relationship with the prognosis in patients who receive curative surgery for colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Recently, the prognostic immune and nutritional index (PINI), which is calculated from the peripheral monocyte count and serum albumin level, has been reported to be useful as a prognostic marker in Korean and Chinese patients with colorectal cancer. The present study therefore examined the usefulness of the PINI as a marker for predicting the prognosis in Japanese colorectal cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 529 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage I-III colorectal cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study. The PINI was calculated as [serum albumin concentration (g/dl)×0.9]-[peripheral monocyte count (mm3)×0.0007]. RESULTS: The median PINI was 3.242 (range=1.250-4.091). A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the appropriate cut-off value of the PINI was 3.047. The low-PINI group had significantly lower relapse-free and overall survival rates than the high-PINI group (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSION: The PINI based on host factors is useful as a prognostic marker for Japanese patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer.
