RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery has gained momentum for left pancreatic resections. However, debate remains about whether it has any advantage over open surgery for distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. METHODS: This retrospective review examined pancreatectomies performed for resectable pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors at 21 centers in France between January 2014 and December 2018. Short and long-term outcomes were compared before and after propensity score matching based on tumor size, sex, age, body mass index, center, and method of pancreatic transection. RESULTS: During the period study, 274 patients underwent left pancreatic resection for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors [109 underwent distal splenopancreatectomy, and 165 underwent spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy [(splenic vessel preservation (n = 97; 58.7%)/splenic vessel resection (n = 68; 41.3%)]. Before propensity score matching, minimally invasive surgery was associated with a lower rate of major morbidity (P = .004), lower rate of postoperative delayed gastric emptying (P = .04), and higher rate of "textbook" outcomes (P = .04). After propensity score matching, there were 2 groups of 54 patients (n = 30 distal splenopancreatectomy; n = 78 spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy). Minimally invasive surgery was associated with less blood loss (P = .05), decreased rate of major morbidity (6% vs. 24%; P = .02), less delayed gastric emptying (P = .05) despite similar rates of postoperative fistula, hemorrhage, and reoperation (P > .05). The 5-year overall survival (79% vs. 75%; P = .74) and recurrence-free survival (10% vs 17%; P = .39) were similar. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive surgery for left pancreatic resection can be safely proposed for patients with resectable left pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Minimally invasive surgery decreases the rate of major complications while providing comparable long-term oncologic outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Although several prognostic factors in GIST have been well studied such as tumour size, mitotic rate, or localization, the influence of microscopic margins or R1 resection remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of R1 resection on the prognosis of GIST in a large multicentre retrospective series of patients. METHODS: From 2001 to 2013, 1413 patients who underwent surgery for any site of GIST were identified from 61 European centers. 1098 patients were included, excluding synchronous metastases, concurrent malignancies, R2 resection or GIST recurrence. Tumour rupture (TR) was reclassified according to the Oslo sarcoma classification. Cox proportional hazards ratio and Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were used to analyse 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS: Of 1098 patients, 38 (3%) underwent R1 resection with a risk of TR of 11%. The 5-year RFS was 89.6% with a median follow-up of 81 months [range: 31.2-152 months]. On univariate analysis, lower RFS was significantly associated with R1 resection [HR = 2.13; p = 0.04], high risk score according to the modified NIH classification, administration of adjuvant therapy [HR = 2.24; p < 0.001] and intraoperative complications [HR = 2.82; p < 0.001]. Only intraoperative complications [HR = 1.79; p = 0.02] and high risk according to the modified NIH classification including the updated definition of TR [HR = 3.43; p = 0.04] remained significant on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: This study shows that positive microscopic margins are not an independent predictive factor for RFS in GIST when taking into account the up-dated classification of TR. R1 resection may be considered a reasonable alternative to avoid major functional sequelae and should not lead to reoperation.

BACKGROUND: Ampullary lesions are rare and can be locally treated either with endoscopic papillectomy or transduodenal surgical ampullectomy. Management of local recurrence after a first-line treatment has been poorly studied. METHODS: Patients with a local recurrence of an ampullary lesion initially treated with endoscopic papillectomy or transduodenal surgical ampullectomy were retrospectively included from a multi-institutional database (58 centers) between 2005 and 2018. RESULTS: A total of 103 patients were included, 21 (20.4%) treated with redo endoscopic papillectomy, 14 (13.6%) with transduodenal surgical ampullectomy, and 68 (66%) with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Redo endoscopic papillectomy had low morbidity with 4.8% (n = 1) severe to fatal complications and a R0 rate of 81% (n = 17). Transduodenal surgical ampullectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy after a first procedure had a higher morbidity with Clavien III and more complications, respectively, 28.6% (n = 4) and 25% (n = 17); R0 resection rates were 85.7% (n = 12) and 92.6% (n = 63), both without statistically significant difference compared to endoscopic papillectomy (P = .1 and 0.2). Pancreaticoduodenectomy had 4.4% (n = 2) mortality. No deaths were registered after transduodenal surgical ampullectomy or endoscopic papillectomy. Recurrences treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy were more likely to be adenocarcinomas (79.4%, n = 54 vs 21.4%, n = 3 for transduodenal surgical ampullectomy and 4.8%, n = 1 for endoscopic papillectomy, P < .0001). Three-year overall survival and disease-free survival were comparable. CONCLUSION: Endoscopy is appropriate for noninvasive recurrences, with resection rate and survival outcomes comparable to surgery. Surgery applies more to invasive recurrences, with transduodenal surgical ampullectomy rather for carcinoma in situ and early cancers and pancreaticoduodenectomy for more advanced tumors.

OBJECTIVE: Defining robust and standardized outcome references for distal pancreatectomy (DP) by using Benchmark analysis. BACKGROUND: Outcomes after DP are recorded in medium or small-sized studies without standardized analysis. Therefore, the best results remain uncertain. METHODS: This multicenter study included all patients undergoing DP for resectable benign or malignant tumors in 21 French expert centers in pancreas surgery from 2014 to 2018. A low-risk cohort defined by no significant comorbidities was analyzed to establish 18 outcome benchmarks for DP. These values were tested in high risk, minimally invasive and benign tumor cohorts. RESULTS: A total of 1188 patients were identified and 749 low-risk patients were screened to establish Benchmark cut-offs. Therefore, Benchmark rate for mini-invasive approach was ≥36.8%. Benchmark cut-offs for postoperative mortality, major morbidity grade ≥3a and clinically significant pancreatic fistula rates were 0%, ≤27%, and ≤28%, respectively. The benchmark rate for readmission was ≤16%. For patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cut-offs were ≥75%, ≥69.5%, and ≥66% for free resection margins (R0), 1-year disease-free survival and 3-year overall survival, respectively. The rate of mini-invasive approach in high-risk cohort was lower than the Benchmark cut-off (34.1% vs ≥36.8%). All Benchmark cut-offs were respected for benign tumor group. The proportion of benchmark cases was correlated to outcomes of DP. Centers with a majority of low-risk patients had worse results than those operating complex cases. CONCLUSION: This large-scale study is the first benchmark analysis of DP outcomes and provides robust and standardized data. This may allow for comparisons between surgeons, centers, studies, and surgical techniques.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the use of a reinforced stapler (RS) during distal pancreatectomy (DP) on postoperative outcomes. BACKGROUND: DP remains associated with significant postoperative morbidity owing to pancreatic fistula (PF). To date, there is no consensus on the management of the pancreatic stump. The use of an RS potentially represents a simple way to decrease the rate of PF. METHODS: The REPLAY study (NCT03030170) is a prospective, multicenter, randomized study. Patients who underwent DP were randomized (1:1 ratio) in 2 groups for the use of a standard stapler (SS) or an RS to close remnant pancreatic parenchyma. The primary endpoint was the rate of overall PF. Secondary endpoints included severity of PF, length of hospital stay, overall morbidity, and rate of readmission for a PF within 90 days. Participants were blinded to the procedure actually carried out. RESULTS: A total of 199 were analyzed (SS, n=99; RS, n=100). One patient who did not undergo surgery was excluded. Baseline characteristics were comparable in both groups. The rate of overall PF was higher in RS group (SS: 67.7%, RS: 83%, P =0.0121), but the rate of clinically relevant PF was similar (SS: 11.1%, RS: 14%, P =0.5387). Mean length of total hospital stay, readmission for PF, postoperative morbidity, and mortality at 90 days were similar. CONCLUSION: The results of this randomized clinical trial did not favor the use of RS during DP to reduce the rate of PF.

BACKGROUND: The overall natural history, risk of death and surgical burden of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is not well known. METHODS: Patients with MEN1 from a nationwide cohort were included. The survival of patients with MEN1 was compared with that of the general population using simulated controls. The cumulative probabilities of MEN1-specific operations and postoperative mortality were assessed, and surgical sequences were analysed using sunburst charts and Venn diagrams. RESULTS: A total of 1386 patients with MEN1 were included. Life expectancy was significantly reduced in patients with MEN1 compared with simulated controls from the general population, with a lifetime difference of 15 years. Mutations affecting the JunD interaction domain had a significant negative impact on survival. Survival for patients with MEN1 compared with the general population improved over time. The probability of experiencing at least one specific MEN1 operation was above 95 per cent after 75 years, and most patients had surgery at least twice during their lifetime. Time to a 50 per cent risk of MEN1 surgery was 30.5 years for patients born after 1960, compared with 47.9 years for those born before 1960. Sex and mutations affecting the JunD interacting domain had no impact on time to first surgery. There was considerable heterogeneity in surgical sequences, with no specific clinical pathway. CONCLUSION: Life expectancy was significantly lower among patients with MEN1 compared with the general population, and further decreased in patients with mutations affecting the JunD interacting domain. Almost all patients underwent at least one MEN1-specific operation during their lifetime, but there was no standardized sequence of surgery.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNENs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors derived from cells with neuroendocrine differentiation. They are considered malignant by default. However, their outcomes are variable depending on their presentation in the onset of hereditary syndromes, hormonal secretion, grading, and extension. Therefore, although surgical treatment has long been suggested as the only treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, its modalities are an evolving landscape. For selected patients (small, localized, non-functional panNENs), a "wait and see" strategy is suggested, as it is in the setting of multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia type 1, but the accurate size cut-off remains to be established. Parenchyma-sparring pancreatectomy, aiming to limit pancreatic insufficiency, are also emerging procedures, which place beyond the treatment of insulinomas and small non-functional panNENs (in association with lymph node picking) remains to be clarified. Furthermore, giving the fact that the liver is generally the only metastatic site, surgery keeps a place of choice alongside medical therapies in the treatment of metastatic disease, but its modalities and extensions are still a matter of debate. This narrative review aims to describe the current recommended surgical management for pancreatic NENs and controversies in light of the actual recommendations and recent literature.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of global physician empathy and its three subdimensions (establishing rapport, emotional and cognitive processes) on the severity of postoperative complications in a sample of cancer patients. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data on 256 patients with esogastric cancer from the French national FREGAT database. Empathy and its subdimensions were assessed using the patient-reported CARE scale and the severity of medical and surgical complications was reported with the Clavien-Dindo classification system. The usual covariates were included in multinomial logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Physician empathy predicted the odds of reporting major complications. When patients perceived high empathy, they were less likely to report major complications compared to no complications (OR = .95, 95% CI = [.91-.99], p = .029). Among the three dimensions, only "establishing rapport" (OR = .84, 95% CI = [.73-.98], p = .019) and the "emotional process" (OR = .85, 95% CI = [.74-.98], p = .022) predicted major complications. CONCLUSIONS: Physician empathy is essential before surgery. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms associating empathy with health outcomes in cancer. Physicians should be trained to establish good rapport with patients, especially in the preoperative period.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare retrospectively 18F-DOPA PET/CT versus 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in a group of patients affected by midgut NET. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with histologically proven grade 1 or grade 2 midgut NET were explored after injection of 150 MBq of 68Ga-DOTANOC and 210 MBq of 18F-DOPA. The PET/CTs were analyzed visually and semiquantitatively at the patient level, regional level (7 defined regions), and lesion level (maximum of 5 lesions/organ). The criterion standard was determined on the basis of histology and imaging follow-up. RESULTS: Thirty patients (17 males and 13 females; median age, 63.5 years [37-82 years]) were included. Both PET/CTs were negative in 3 patients and positive in 25 patients. PET/CTs were discordant in 2 patients, with 18F-DOPA positive and 68Ga-DOTANOC negative. 18F-DOPA PET/CT detected more involved regions and more metastatic lesions than 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in 6 (20%) and 10 (33.3%) patients, respectively. Of the 81 confirmed affected regions, 77 (95%) were detected by 18F-DOPA PET/CT and 71 (87.7%) by 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT (P < 0.0001). 18F-DOPA PET/CT detected significantly more lesions (211/221) than 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT (195/221), corresponding to a sensitivity of 95.5% and 88.2%, respectively (P < 0.0001). Tumor-to-background ratios were more favorable in liver for 18F-DOPA than for 68Ga-DOTANOC. Interestingly, a correlation was found between 18F-DOPA SUVmax and tumor burden and especially with the number of regions involved by the disease (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: 18F-DOPA PET/CT is superior to 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT for the detection of lesions, and when available, this tracer may be recommended as the first-line examination for an accurate staging of midgut NET.

(1) Background: preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with bacterial biliary contamination (>85%) and a significant increase in global and infectious complications. In view of the lack of published data, the aim of our study was to investigate the impact of fungal biliary contamination after biliary drainage on the complication rate after PD. (2) Methods: a multicentric retrospective study that included 224 patients who underwent PD after biliary drainage with intraoperative biliary culture. (3) Results: the global rate of positive intraoperative biliary sample was 92%. Respectively, the global rate of biliary bacterial contamination and the rate of fungal contamination were 75% and 25%, making it possible to identify two subgroups: bacterial contamination only (B+, n = 154), and bacterial and fungal contamination (BF+, n = 52). An extended duration of preoperative drainage (62 vs. 49 days; p = 0.08) increased the risk of fungal contamination. The overall and infectious complication rates were not different between the two groups. In the event of postoperative infectious or surgical complications, the infectious samples taken did not reveal more fungal infections in the BF+ group. (4) Conclusions: fungal biliary contamination, although frequent, does not seem to increase the rate of global and infectious complications after PD, preceded by preoperative biliary drainage.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The benefits of systematic re-excision (RE) after initial unplanned excision (UE) of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) are unknown. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of delayed RE versus systematic RE after UE on overall survival (OS), metastatic relapse-free survival (MRFS), local relapse-free survival (LRFS), and rate of amputation. METHODS: Patients who underwent complete UE, without metastasis or residual disease, for primary extremity or superficial STS between 2007 and 2013 were analyzed. The amputation rate, LRFS, MRFS, and OS were assessed in cases of systematic RE in sarcoma referral centers (Group A), systematic RE outside of community centers (Group B), or without RE (Group C). RESULTS: Groups A, B, and C included 300 (48.2%), 71 (11.4%), and 251 (40.4%) patients, respectively. Median follow-up was 61 months and 5-year OS was 88.4%, 87.3%, and 88% in Groups A, B, and C, respectively (p = 0.22), while 5-year MFRS was 85.4%, 86.2%, and 84.9%, respectively (p = 0.938); RE (p = 0.55) did not influence MRFS. The 5-year LRFS was 83%, 73.5%, and 63.8% in Groups A, B and C, respectively (p = 0.00001). Of the 123 local recurrences observed, 0/28, 1/15, and 5/80 patients in Groups A, B, and C, respectively, required amputation (p = 0.41). Factors influencing LRFS were adjuvant radiotherapy [hazard ratio (HR) 0.21; p = 0.0001], initial R0 resection (HR 0.24, p = 0.0001), and Group A (HR 0.44; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Systematic RE in sarcoma centers offers best local control but does not impact OS. Delayed RE at the time of local relapse, if any, could be an option.

BACKGROUND: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor, an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor, could be ubiquitous but rarely arises from pancreas. Surgery is considered the most appropriate treatment. Nevertheless, activation of mTOR pathway seems to be a common pathogenic event in PEComas paving the way to chemotherapy by mTOR inhibitor. METHOD: A 17 year-old man presented a hypervascular tumor of 55â¯mm, located in the head of pancreas without bile duct or pancreatic duct compression. RESULTS: Histopathology showed epithelioid cells with clear or focally granular eosinophilic cytoplasm with melanocytic (HMB-45, Melan-A) and myoid markers which confirmed diagnosis of PEComa. Given the absence of worrisome feature, we ruled out surgery and decided to initiate treatment with Sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor. After 3.5 years, we showed a significant reduction in size of the tumor. CONCLUSION: This first case of pancreatic PEComa treated by mTOR inhibitor without surgery suggests a good efficiency of this therapy.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (IP-NETs) are rare tumors with heterogeneous outcomes. The aim of our study was to determine the clinical, therapeutic and pathological factors which impact the overall survival (OS) in IP-NETs. METHODS: All the patients diagnosed with IP-NETs at the Nantes University Hospital between October 1994 and October 2013 were retrospectively analysed. Patients with MEN-1 (Type 1 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia) or Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome were excluded. Additionally, a prospective analysis of tumor grade (mitotic index and Ki67 index) was performed on tumor samples. OS was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method and prognostic factors by log-rank test and Cox model. RESULTS: The study included 151 patients. Median age was 60 (range, 14-81). Primary tumor was pancreatic in 86 patients (56.95%) and intestinal in 65 patients (43.05%). Tumors were metastatic (synchronous or metachronous) in 72 patients (47.7%). The median OS was 157 months. For all IP-NETs, age >65 years (P<0.0001), Ki67 >5% (P=0.03), synchronous metastases (P=0.016), primary tumor size >25 mm (P=0.03) and emergency surgery (P=0.007) were independent poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: In this large series of patients with IP-NET, age >65 years, Ki67 >5%, primary tumor size >25 mm, synchronous metastases and emergency surgery for acute complications have been identified as independent poor prognostic factors.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Patients with borderline (BR) or locally advanced (LA) pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) are often treated with induction FOLFIRINOX (FLX). However, the role of additional preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate its impact in patients who underwent resection after induction FLX. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospective consecutive surgical BR or LA PAC patients after induction FLX in 23 French centers between November 2010 and December 2015, treated with or without preoperative additional CRT (FLX vs FLX + CRT groups). RESULTS: Two hundred three patients were included (106 BR, 97 LA PAC). Median number of FLX cycles was 6 (range 1-30); 50% (n = 102) of patients received additional CRT. Median duration between diagnosis and surgery was 5.4 and 8.7 months (P = 0.001) in the FLX and FLX + CRT group, respectively. The 90-day mortality, major complications, and pancreatic fistula rates were 4.4%, 17.7%, and 5.4%, respectively. After 45.1 months follow-up, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival were 45.4 months and 16.2 months, respectively. Patients with additional CRT had higher R0 resection rate (89.2% vs 76.3%; P = 0.017), ypN0 rate (76.2% vs 48.5%; P < 0.001), and higher rate of pathologic major response (33.3% vs 12.9%; P = 0.001). In the FLX + CRT group, patients had lower rate of locoregional relapse (28.3% vs 50.7%; P = 0.004). Patients with additional CRT had longer OS than those receiving FLX alone (57.8 vs 35.5 months; P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Pathological results and survival data argue for interest in additional CRT. Prospective studies on an intention-to-treat basis are needed to confirm these results.

BACKGROUND: The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) remains controversial. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of AC after PD for DCC in a large multicentric cohort. METHODS: Patients from five French centers who underwent from PD for DCC between 2000 and 2015 and received AC (AC+ group) or surgery only (AC- group) were included in the analysis. Variables associated with AC administration were analyzed by univariate analysis. The Cox regression identified covariates associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The AC+ cohort was matched to the AC- cohort (1:1) by a propensity score (PS) based on the likelihood of AC administration and independent factors associated with decreased OS and DFS. RESULTS: Of the 178 patients included, 56 (31.5%) received AC. In the whole cohort, no difference on OS and DFS between the AC+ and AC- groups was identified (P = 0.15 and P = 0.07, respectively). After PS matching, the AC+ group (n = 49) was comparable to the AC- group (n = 49) on factors associated with AC administration and on factors associated with a decreased survival in the large cohort. After matching, the medians of OS and DFS in the AC+ group and in the AC- group were comparable (26.27 vs 43.33 months, P = 0.34, and 15.47 vs. 14.70 months, P = 0.79, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our study did not demonstrate a survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (mostly base on gemcitabine regimen) for DCC after PD even after propensity score matching. New trial specially designed for DCC is urgently needed to improve survival after surgical resection.

BACKGROUND: The treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts has evolved during the past two decades. Endoscopic treatment (ET) has gradually become used as a first-line management even though it showed no significant superiority to surgical internal drainages (SIDs) in a recent randomized trial. The objective of the present work was to analyze the effect of ET failure on the results of SID in the global management of pancreatic pseudocysts. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective study (Clichy, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Rennes) was conducted between January 2000 and December 2012. The main criteria were as follows: (i) major postoperative complications (MPCs) (Clavien ≥ 3) and (ii) treatment failure in the first 12 mo. All factors that may affect these two parameters were tested in univariate and multivariate analyses, when necessary. RESULTS: One hundred nineteen patients, with a median age of 52 y (22-83) underwent SID, including 45 procedures (37.8%) performed after ET failure. Mortality and overall morbidity rates were 1.7% and 30.2%, respectively. Eighteen patients (15.1%) presented an MPC. Multivariate analysis revealed that failure of ET (odds ratio 3.04, confidence interval [1.04 to 9.5], P = 0.046) and BMI ≤20 (odds ratio 4.5, confidence interval [1.50; 15.5], P = 0.010) were independent risk factors of MPCs. The success of SID was 92.5% in the first year. In univariate analysis, the occurrence of an MPC was the only factor linked to the failure of SID (P = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS: Performing an SID after ET failure is associated with an increased risk of MPC. Close postoperative monitoring is recommended for these patients.

BACKGROUNDS: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is an alternative to pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy in benign tumours of pancreatic isthmus management. It is known for a high post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate. The purpose of this study was to compare POPF incidence between pancreatico-jejunostomy (PJ) and pancreatico-gastrostomy (PG). METHODS: Fifty-eight patients (mean age 53.9 ± 1.9 years) who underwent a CP in four French University Hospitals from 1988 to 2011 were analysed. The distal pancreatic remnant was either anastomosed to the stomach (44.8%, n = 25) or to a Roux-en-Y jejunal loop (55.2%, n = 35) with routine external drainage allowing a systematic search for POPF. POPF severity was classified according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) and Clavien-Dindo classifications. RESULTS: The groups were similar on sex ratio, mean age, ASA score, pancreas texture, operative time and operative blood loss. Mean follow-up was 36.2 ± 3.9 months. POPF were significantly more frequent after PG (76.9 versus 37.5%, P = 0.003). PG was associated with significantly higher grade of POPF both when graded with ISGPF classification (P = 0.012) and Clavien-Dindo classification (P = 0.044). There was no significant difference in post-operative bleeding (0.918) and delayed gastric emptying (0.877) between the two groups. Hospital length of stay was increased after PG (23.6 ± 3.5 days versus 16.5 ± 1.9 days, P = 0.071). There was no significant difference in incidence of long-term exocrine (3.8 versus 19.2%, P = 0.134) and endocrine (7.7 versus 9.4%, P = 0.575) pancreatic insufficiencies. CONCLUSION: PG was associated with a significantly higher POPF incidence and severity in CP. We recommend performing PJ especially in older patients to improve CP outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Malignant potential of small (≤20 mm) nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (sNF-PNET) is difficult to predict and management remain controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the prognosis of sporadic nonmetastatic sNF-PNETs. METHODS: Patients were identified from databases of 16 centers. Outcomes and risk factors for recurrence were identified by uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: sNF-PNET was resected in 210 patients, and 66% (n = 138) were asymptomatic. Median age was 60 years, median tumor size was 15 mm, parenchyma-sparing surgery was performed in 42%. Postoperative mortality was 0.5% (n = 1), severe morbidity rate was 14.3% (n = 30), and 14 of 132 patients (10.6%) with harvested lymph nodes had metastatic lymph nodes. Tumor size, presence of biliary or pancreatic duct dilatation, and WHO grade 2-3 were independently associated with recurrence. Patients with tumors sized ≤10 mm were disease free at last follow-up. The 1-, 3- and 5-year disease-free survival rates for patients with tumors sized 11-20 mm on preoperative imaging were 95.1%, 91.0%, and 87.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In sNF-PNETs, the presence of biliary or pancreatic duct dilatation or WHO grade 2-3 advocate for surgical treatment. In the remaining patients, a wait-and-see policy might be considered.

BACKGROUND: Although the peri-operative mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) has decreased, the post-operative morbidity remains high. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of factors that may affect the long term survival for patients with DCC following PD. METHODS: All patients who underwent PD for DCC between January 2000 and December 2015 in 5 tertiary referral centers underwent retrospective medical record review. Factors likely to influence overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survivals were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: A total of 201 on 217 patients who underwent PD for DCC were included for further analysis. The median OS was 39 months, with actuarial survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years of 85%, 53% and 39%. Recurrence occurred in 123 (61%) patients. The median DFS was 16 months, with actuarial survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years of 60%, 37% and 28%. Following multivariate analysis, peri-operative blood transfusions (PBT) were associated to worse OS (HR = 2.25 [1.31-3.85], P = 0.003) and DFS (HR = 2.08 [1.24-3.5], P = 0.005). CONCLUSION: This study confirms the negative impact of PBT on the oncologic result following PD for DCC.
