RESUMO
A 28-year-old female with a history of treatment for small intestinal polyps and characteristic pigmentation of her lip was clinically diagnosed with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS). Her sister had the pathogenic variant of STK11 upon genetic testing. A 20-mm polyp was identified in the second part the patient's duodenum on routine gastrointestinal surveillance, and biopsy revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Laparoscopic partial duodenectomy with endoscopy was planned. After confirming the location of the tumor and Kocherization using a laparoscope, the polyp was resected via submucosal dissection under direct visualization with a small incision. The polyp was diagnosed as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in situ and was resected without remnants. PJS is characterized by a high incidence of malignant tumors, and lifelong surveillance for gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal tumors is necessary. The incidence of duodenal cancer is not high among patients with PJS. However, surgery for advanced cancer is highly invasive. It is desirable to detect the tumors at an early stage so that they can be resected via a less invasive treatment method such as endoscopic resection or laparoscopic surgery with an endoscope.

PURPOSE: This retrospective study was performed to investigate the recent trend of occurrence of cancer of the remnant colorectal segment(RCRS)after ileal-pouch anal anastomosis(IPAA)/ileorectal anastomosis(IRA)and to consider the optimal surveillance methods in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP)undergoing(procto)colectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The subject was a total of patients with FAP undergoing IPAA or IRA between 2005 and 2022. Clinicopathological data were extracted from medical charts and analyzed. Cumulative incidence of cancer in the RCRS and overall survival after treatment of such tumors were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: There were 45 male and 56 female. IPAA was performed in 49 patients(hand-sewn; n=33, stapled; n=16)and IRA was performed in 52 patients. The median age at initial colorectal surgery was 32 years old(range, 13-66 years old). Median postoperative follow-up was 11 years(range, 1-48 years). Eighty-one patients were confirmed to have pathogenic variant of APC by genetic test. The cumulative incidence of cancer of the RCRS did not differ between patients undergoing IPAA and those undergoing IRA(p= 0.73, 4.1% versus 1.9% at 10 years). The cumulative 5-year overall survival rate after additional surgery for the tumor of RCRS was 82%. CONCLUSION: This study has several limitations due to single institutional retrospective study with small cases and non-standardized postoperative endoscopic surveillance. However, our results seem to show satisfactory oncological outcomes of patients with FAP in terms of the control of cancer of the RCRS under postoperative periodic surveillance, regardless of the type of colorectal resection.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)are widely used for the treatment of unresectable gastric cancer. We treated approximately 70 patients with ICIs. ICI treatment with pembrolizumab was administered for MSI-high cases and nivolumab for MSS cases in the second- or third-line chemotherapy. We observed 5 cases of complete response. Among these, 2 patients presented with liver metastases, 2 with peritoneal disseminations, and 1 with pulmonary metastasis. In 1 patient, the primary tumor invaded the diaphragm and descending aorta; whereas, in another patient the primary tumor invaded the pancreas and liver. All patients had progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome(CCS)is a rare non-inherited disease characterized by gastrointestinal polyposis and ectodermal abnormalities. We report a rare case of CCS associated with gastric cancer and gastric outlet obstruction with a review of the literature. A 75-year-old man was admitted because of frequent vomiting and hypoproteinemia. He was diagnosed with CCS due to typical clinical and laboratory findings including alopecia, nail atrophy, hypoproteinemia, and typical gastrointestinal polyposis. Upper endoscopic examination also pointed out a large gastric cancer mainly located in the antrum and the reversible pyloric obstruction caused by the gastric tumor. Biopsy of the tumor revealed tubular adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography demonstrated the dilated duodenum caused by packing of the gastric tumor. 1.5 months after prednisolone therapy, he underwent total gastrectomy with complete resection of the dilated duodenal bulb. Histological examination revealed gastric cancer(pap>tub1)classified into Stage â ¢C. Postoperative course was uneventful and he moved to another hospital. To our knowledge, including the present case, there were 20 reported cases of CCS associated with gastric cancer from Japan(1979-2022). Also, 7 cases of CCS associated with gastric outlet obstruction was reported.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) is an attractive option for the treatment of early gastric cancer in the upper third of the stomach. No optimal method of reconstruction after LPG has been established because of problems associated with postoperative reflux. Gastric tube reconstruction, a type of esophagogastrostomy, is a simple procedure, but it is associated with a high frequency of reflux esophagitis (RE). We investigated the relationship between RE and gastric emptying, along with nutritional parameters. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We compared gastric emptying in patients who had undergone curative LPG with gastric tube reconstruction for gastric cancer with that of patients after total gastrectomy (TG), distal gastrectomy (DG) and of healthy volunteers and patients after DG. The LPG group was divided into an RE LPG-RE (+) group and a non-reflux esophagitis (non-RE) an LPG-RE (-) group, and we compared gastric emptying and indices of nutrition, such as body weight and laboratory findings, between those among LPG-RE (+), LPG-RE (-), and TG groups. RESULTS: The time lag between ingestion and peak 13 CO 2 expiration (T lag) in the healthy volunteer group was significantly shorter in the LPG group longer than those in the healthy volunteer LPG group and TG group. The T lag was significantly shorter in the RE LPG-RE (+) group than in the non-RE LPG-RE (-) group. The percentage change in body weight percentage in the non-RE LPG-RE (-) group was significantly larger than that in the RE LPG-RE (+) group at 12 months after surgery. Both the serum albumin and hemoglobin levels in the non-RE LPG-RE (-) tended to be preserved compared with those in the RE LPG-RE (+) group and TG group. CONCLUSIONS: Gastric emptying was accelerated after LPG, and was associated with RE. Our data suggest that RE could be associated with body weight loss after LPG.

This review outlines the process of the development of the endocytoscope (EC) with reference to previously reported studies including our own. The EC is an ultra-high-magnification endoscope capable of imaging at the cellular level. The esophagus is the most suitable site for EC observation because it is amenable to vital staining. The diagnosis of esophageal lesions using EC is based on nuclear density and nuclear abnormality, allowing biopsy histology to be omitted. The observation of nuclear abnormality requires a magnification of ×600 or higher using digital technology. Several staining methods have been proposed, but single staining with toluidine blue or methylene blue is most suitable because the contrast at the border of a cancerous area can be easily identified. A three-tier classification of esophageal lesions visualized by EC is proposed: Type 1 (non-cancerous), Type 2 (endocytoscopic borderline), and Type 3 (cancerous). Since characteristic EC images reflecting pathology can be obtained from non-cancerous esophageal lesions, a modified form of classification with four additional characteristic non-cancerous EC features has also been proposed. Recently, deep-learning AI for analysis of esophageal EC images has revealed that its diagnostic accuracy is comparable to that of expert pathologists.
RESUMO
Endocytoscopy (EC) facilitates real-time histological diagnosis of esophageal lesions in vivo. We developed a deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) system for analysis of EC images and compared its diagnostic ability with that of an expert pathologist and nonexpert endoscopists. Our new AI was based on a vision transformer model (DeiT) and trained using 7983 EC images of the esophagus (2368 malignant and 5615 nonmalignant). The AI evaluated 114 randomly arranged EC pictures (33 ESCC and 81 nonmalignant lesions) from 38 consecutive cases. An expert pathologist and two nonexpert endoscopists also analyzed the same image set according to the modified type classification (adding four EC features of nonmalignant lesions to our previous classification). The area under the curve calculated from the receiver-operating characteristic curve for the AI analysis was 0.92. In per-image analysis, the overall accuracy of the AI, pathologist, and two endoscopists was 91.2%, 91.2%, 85.9%, and 83.3%, respectively. The kappa value between the pathologist and the AI, and between the two endoscopists and the AI showed moderate concordance; that between the pathologist and the two endoscopists showed poor concordance. In per-patient analysis, the overall accuracy of the AI, pathologist, and two endoscopists was 94.7%, 92.1%, 86.8%, and 89.5%, respectively. The modified type classification aided high overall diagnostic accuracy by the pathologist and nonexpert endoscopists. The diagnostic ability of the AI was equal or superior to that of the experienced pathologist. AI is expected to support endoscopists in diagnosing esophageal lesions based on EC images.

A 55-year-old woman had been admitted to a hospital with abdominal bloating. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma was suspected and diagnosed as not resectable. She was then referred to our hospital with dyspnea and difficulties with movement due to the huge mass. An abdominal CT revealed a large mass originating in the left retroperitoneum. The tumor occupied most of the abdominal cavity, resulting in the displacement of her organs. However, there was no evidence of infiltration of the tumor into the aorta and inferior vena cava. Under a provisional diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma, a surgical resection was undertaken. The resected specimen had a maximum diameter of 48 cm and weighed 14 kg. Histopathological examination revealed a differentiated liposarcoma. The patient remains alive 6 months after the operation, without recurrence.

BACKGROUND: Gastric tube reconstruction is a form of esophagogastrostomy performed after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG). It is a simple and safe technique, but it may cause reflux esophagitis (RE) and impair postsurgical QOL. For several years, we have developed the gastric tube reconstruction and performed it on more than 100 patients. This study aimed to determine whether gastric tube reconstruction can be a feasible choice after LPG in regard to surgical safety and postoperative nutritional status. METHODS: The subjects consisted of 171 patients who underwent LPG (n = 102) or laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) (n = 69). We compared the two groups in terms of surgical outcomes, incidence rate of RE, and nutritional status including postoperative weight loss and hemoglobin levels. RESULTS: There were no significant differences with regard to the surgical duration and blood loss between the two groups. The incidence of RE was not significantly higher with LPG than with LTG (16.7% vs. 10.1%, respectively; P = 0.07). Later than 2 years and 6 months after surgery, the body weight percentage of preoperative body weight in the LPG group was significantly higher than that in the LTG group. Hemoglobin and ferritin levels in the LPG group were significantly higher than those in the LTG group, later than one after surgery. The overall survival rates were similar between the two groups (5-year survival rates: 97.1% vs. 94.2% in the LPG and LTG groups, respectively; P = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS: Gastric tube reconstruction after LPG is simple and had better outcomes than LTG in terms of postoperative nutritional status.

Familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP)is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder, and the result of a germ line variant in the adenomatous poplyposis coli(APC)gene. FAP can be associated with various extracolonic lesions including thyroid cancer, which frequently occurs in women. We report the case of a 15-year-old woman diagnosed as FAP with multiple thyroid papillary carcinomas. Her mother had been treated for FAP with colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer in our department. Multiple tumors with a maximum diameter of 17 mm were detected in the right lobe of the thyroid gland during the preoperative examination. Papillary carcinoma was suspected based on fine-needle aspiration cytology. She was diagnosed with FAP because of multiple polyps on colonoscopy. We performed a subtotal thyroidectomy. Pathological findings revealed a cribriform-morular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. We report a rare case of papillary carcinoma of thyroid associated with FAP in a younger woman.

BACKGROUND: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy(CRT)followed by total mesorectal excision(TME)is used for locally advanced rectal cancer, but it can induce postoperative anorectal function. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of preoperative CRT and TME without irradiation to the internal and external sphincter muscles. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Patients were eligible for this study if they met the following inclusion criteria: histologically proven rectal cancer, clinical T3T4N0-2 disease, and a distance between anal margin of tumor and the rental line is more than 2 cm. Twelve patients who underwent preoperative CRT and TME between 2013 and 2017 were enrolled. The primary endpoint was completion rate of sphincter-preserving surgery. RESULTS: All patients completed preoperative CRT without Grade 3 or higher adverse effect. Sphincter-preserving surgery was performed in all cases. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 46.7%, and the local recurrence-free survival rate was 75%, and the overall survival rate was 90.9%. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that preoperative CRT and TME without irradiation to the internal and external sphincter muscles is effective and safe therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.

We investigated changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)in 11 colorectal cancer patients(6 familial adenomatous polyposis, 5 ulcerative colitis)who underwent restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis(IPAA) and diverting ileostomy(DI), the tolerability and adverse events of adjuvant chemotherapy(ACT)in 4 cases. After IPAA, eGFR decreased significantly(p=0.02)and did not return to the preoperative level even after stoma closure(p<0.01). mFOLFOX6 was selected as the regimen in 4 candidates, and no significant changes in eGFR after ACT were observed. The relative dose intensity of oxaliplatin was 91.7%, and no gastrointestinal adverse events of Grade 3 or higher were observed. Although in a small number of cases, mFOLFOX6 as ACT after IPAA and DI may be feasible.

We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological and survival data of 8 patients with unresectable gastric cancer who underwent conversion surgery(CS)following second-line chemotherapy from April 2013 to December 2020. There were 7 males and 1 female patients with a median age of 69(64-76)years old. Five patients had 1 unresectable factor, 2 had 2 unresectable factors, and 1 had 3 unresectable factors. All patients achieved R0 resection. The median survival time(MST) of patients with CS following second-line chemotherapy was significantly longer than that without CS(73.4 vs 12.3 months, respectively). The MST of patients with CS following first-line chemotherapy was significantly longer than that without CS (22.9 vs 12.3 months, respectively). This study suggested that CS following first- or second-line chemotherapy may improve survival duration for unresectable gastric cancer.

Duodenal cancer is a leading cause of death after colectomy in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Detailed endoscopic evaluation of duodenal lesions with potential for carcinoma development is therefore mandatory. Here we investigated the features of duodenal lesions in FAP patients using an endocytoscopy system (ECS). We retrospectively reviewed duodenal lesions in 15 cases of FAP using an ECS (GIF-H290EC) with methylene blue (MB) as the vital dye. With reference to the Spigelman classification, we investigated the number of lesions using white light (WL), narrow-band imaging (NBI), and MB staining. Using the maximum magnification power of the ECS we investigated the histology (duct openings or finger-like projections) and grade of dysplasia (presence or absence of enlarged oval-shaped nuclei) of the lesions. The number of duodenal lesions increased in ascending order of WL, NBI, and MB (P < 0.05). Among 51 MB-unstained lesions, 46 (90.2%) were proven to be duodenal neoplasms histologically. Duct openings were seen in 90.2% of tubular adenomas and tubulovillous adenomas. Finger-like projections were seen in 33.3% of tubular adenomas and in 88.2% of tubulovillous adenomas. Enlarged oval-shaped nuclei were observed in 100% of duodenal cancers, 33.3% of high-grade adenomas, and 9.4% of low-grade adenomas. MB staining allows more accurate detection of duodenal neoplasms in comparison to conventional WL and NBI observation. In cases of FAP, use of the maximum magnification power of the ECS may allow selection of lesions with high malignant potential.

The impact of colonic stenting on long-term prognosis has not yet been clarified. We compared background factors, progression-free survival, and overall survival between patients with stents(stent group)who underwent surgery after colonic stenting as a bridge to surgery and patients without stents(non-stent group)who underwent emergency surgery for left-sided colorectal cancer ileus. There was no difference between the 2 groups in the induction of adjuvant chemotherapy, but the use of oxaliplatin-base was highly introduced in the stent group(p=0.03). The 5-year DFS rates were 55.1% and 70.3%(p=0.21)and the 5-year OS rates were 90.7%and 70%(p=0.35)in the stent and non-stent groups, respectively. In the present study, colon stent placement did not affect long-term prognosis.

Gallbladder metastasis from gastric cancer is often found accidentally during postoperative pathological examinations, and its preoperative diagnosis is very difficult. There are a few reports in diagnostic imaging, and it is well known to have a very poor prognosis. There have been 13 reports on gallbladder metastasis from gastric cancer in the Japanese literature. Among the 13 reports, 10 cases were diagnosed with gallbladder metastasis synchronously and only 1 case was diagnosed as gallbladder metastasis before surgery. One case was reported as hematogenous metastasis, and 9 cases were reported as lymphoid metastasis. In total, 7 patients died, all within the first year after surgery. We experienced a case of synchronous gallbladder metastasis from gastric cancer.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of third-line chemotherapy (CTx) for patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer (GC) refractory to S-1 with or without platinum and taxanes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological and survival data of 26 patients who underwent third-line CTx. RESULTS: Irinotecan therapy (odds ratio=0.12, 95% confidence interval=0.02-0.38; p<0.01) and ≥2 cycles of third-line CTx (odds ratio=0.01, 95% confidence intervaI=0.01-0.11; p<0.01) were independent predictors of longer progression-free survival in multivariate Cox regression analysis. In 18 patients (69%) receiving irinotecan, the overall response rate was 11%, and the disease control rate was 44%. Median progression-free and overall survival were 3.5 and 11.3 months, respectively. Ten patients (56%) had grade 3-4 toxicities, which were managed. CONCLUSION: Irinotecan therapy may become optimal and tolerated in the third-line setting to prolong progression-free survival by increasing the number of treatment cycles.

The proband was a 49-year-old woman who had undergone total colectomy, ileorectostomy, and bilateral ovariectomy for the treatment of cecal(T3N0)and sigmoid colon(T4a, N2b, M1c2[Ova], Stage â £c)cancers. Pathological findings revealed 6 adenomas and 2 adenocarcinoma-in-adenomas in the right colon, other than advanced colon cancers. She had a family history of colorectal cancer meeting the Amsterdam Criteria I, but none of her relatives had definite polyposis. Considering the possibility of Lynch syndrome, the microsatellite-instability test and immunohistochemistry(IHC)examination of the mismatch repair protein were performed, leading to the results of microsatellite stable and proficient mismatch repair protein expression. Therefore, we performed the multigene panel test containing 26 genes using the next-generation sequencing technology. In the APC(5q22.2)gene, a pathogenic variant(exon 12 c.994C>T/p.Arg332*)was identified, leading to a diagnosis of attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis(AFAP). After disclosure of the results to the proband, the single-site variant analysis was performed on her 3 daughters. In her second and third daughters, the same variant was confirmed, and laparoscopic total colectomy was performed 23 and 35 months after the disclosure of the genetic analysis results, respectively. Currently, we are conducting periodical surveillance for the residual rectum.
