RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This study aims to identify prognostic factors and define the best extent of surgery for optimizing treatment of local recurrence (LR) following colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: An institutional database of consecutive patients who underwent radical resection (R0/R1) of LR following CRC was analyzed prospectively from 2010 to 2021 at one tertiary cancer center. RESULTS: In this study, 75 patients were included with LR following CRC and analyzed. Patients were categorized as compartmental resections (CompRe) (n = 47) if all adjacent organs were systematically removed, with or without tumor involvement, or noncompartmental resections (NoCompRe) (n = 28) if only contiguously involved organs were resected. NoCompRe were mainly related to contact between major vessels or bone and the tumor, with only 8/19 (42.1%) resections. Five-year overall survival and locoregional-free survival were 37.5% and 38.8% respectively. Local control was better in the CompRe than the NocompRe group (61.4% vs. 11%; p < 0.01). CompRe (hazard ratio: 2.34 [1.16-4.68]; p = 0.017) and absence of peritoneal metastasis (3.05 [1.03-9.02]; p = 0.044) were the two factors associated with decreased abdominal recurrences in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Complete compartmental surgery is safe and improves local control. Optimal LR resection needs to remove all contiguous organs, with or without tumor involvement.

BACKGROUND: Perineal soft tissue tumors are rare, so that little is known about their management and the outcome of treatment. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to describe the presentation, management, and outcome of the surgical treatment of soft tissue tumors and to provide a final decision algorithm. DESIGN: This is a retrospective study. SETTINGS: The study was conducted in a single tertiary care hospital with a dedicated unit on sarcoma. PATIENTS: Fifty-one consecutive patients from 1998 to 2013 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured are patient demographics, treatment decisions, and outcome of surgical treatment. RESULTS: Forty-nine patients presented with a primary soft tissue tumor, and 2 underwent simple excisions for isolated metastases. The median tumor size was 75 mm (50-110). Symptoms were nonspecific, and MRI had insufficient specificity for malignancy so that a preoperative biopsy was systematically performed according to European Society for Medical Oncology and National Comprehensive Cancer Network soft tissue tumor guidelines. Six benign soft tissue tumors (3 lipomas, 3 leiomyomas), 16 intermediate soft tissue tumors (12 aggressive angiomyxoma, 4 desmoid tumors), and 27 sarcomas were identified. Treatments and surgery were tailored from the beginning according to histology. All but 1 benign soft tissue tumor were treated by 'shelling out.' Aggressive angiomyxoma were treated with en bloc resection sparing uninvolved organs. Nonsurgical treatments were our first choice for desmoid tumors. Wide en bloc surgery was planned for all sarcomas (n = 27) after the induction treatment for 16 patients (chemotherapy, n = 12; radiotherapy, n = 4). In the sarcoma group, the 5-year estimated metastasis-free, local recurrence-free, and overall survival rates were 68.1% (95% CI, 50.7-91.5), 84.7% (95% CI, 66.7-100), and 85.7% (95% CI, 71.8-100). In the benign and intermediate tumor groups, there were no deaths, local recurrences, or progression. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by the small number of patients, given the rarity of this disease in the perineum. CONCLUSION: We provide useful indications for the best strategy necessary to treat these rare tumors located in a complex site.

BACKGROUND: With nearly 450 cases reported since 1991, desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare abdominal tumor typically arising in adolescent and young adult white men. With no large series described, the best therapeutic strategy remains unclear. METHODS: All consecutive patients treated in our tertiary care center between January 1991 and December 2013 for a DSRCT were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients with a median age of 27 years (range 13-57 years) were identified; 71 % were men. At the time of diagnosis, 47.4 % patients had extraperitoneal metastases (EPM): 78 % were located in the liver and 11 % were located in the lungs. Fourteen patients (37 %) were treated exclusively with systemic chemotherapy, with a median survival of 21.1 months. Twenty-three patients underwent surgery, 12 (52 %) experienced complete removal of all macroscopic disease, 5 (21.7 %) received additional intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and 7 (30 %) received postoperative whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy (WAP RT). With a median follow-up of 59.9 months, the median survival was 37.7 months, and the median disease-free survival was 15.5 months. The factors predictive of 3-year overall survival were the absence of EPM, complete surgical resection, postoperative WAP RT, and postoperative chemotherapy. The intraperitoneal chemotherapy had no impact on overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: DSRCT is a rare and aggressive disease. In patients without EPM, a multimodal treatment combining systemic chemotherapy, complete macroscopic resection, and postoperative WAP RT could enable prolonged survival. No benefit of surgery was demonstrated for patients with EPM. The value of associated hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy remains unproven.
