RESUMEN
In most animal cells, mitotic spindle formation is mediated by coordination of centrosomal and acentrosomal pathways. At the onset of mitosis, centrosomes promote spindle bipolarization. However, the mechanism through which the acentrosomal pathways facilitate the establishment of spindle bipolarity in early mitosis is not completely understood. In this study, we show the critical roles of nuclear mitotic apparatus protein (NuMA) in the generation of spindle bipolarity in acentrosomal human cells. In acentrosomal human cells, we found that small microtubule asters containing NuMA formed at the time of nuclear envelope breakdown. In addition, these asters were assembled by dynein and the clustering activity of NuMA. Subsequently, NuMA organized the radial array of microtubules, which incorporates Eg5, and thus facilitated spindle bipolarization. Importantly, in cells with centrosomes, we also found that NuMA promoted the initial step of spindle bipolarization in early mitosis. Overall, these data suggest that canonical centrosomal and NuMA-mediated acentrosomal pathways redundantly promote spindle bipolarity in human cells.

BACKGROUND: The optimal neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) regimen for patients with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains uncertain. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) regimens, gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GA) and gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS), in patients with resectable/borderline-resectable (R/BR) PDAC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Treatment-naïve patients with R/BR-PDAC were enrolled and randomly allocated. They received two cycles (2 months) of each standard protocol, followed by radical surgery for those without tumor progression in general hospitals belonging to our intergroup. The primary endpoint was to determine the superior regimen on the basis of achieving a 10% increase in the rate of patients with progression-free survival (PFS) at 2 years from allocation. RESULTS: A total of 100 patients were enrolled, with 94 patients randomly assigned to the GS arm (N = 46) or GA arm (N = 48). The 2-year PFS rates did not show the stipulated difference [GA, 31% (24-38%)/GS, 26% (18-33%)], but the Kaplan-Myer analysis showed significance (median PFS, GA/GS 14 months/9 months, P = 0.048; HR 0.71). Secondary endpoint comparisons yielded the following results (GA/GS arm, P-value): rates of severe adverse events during NAC, 73%/78%, P = 0.55; completion rates of the stipulated NAC, 92%/83%, P = 0.71; resection rates, 85%/72%, P = 0.10; average tumor marker (CA19-9) reduction rates, -50%/-21%, P = 0.01; average numbers of lymph node metastasis, 1.7/3.2, P = 0.04; and median overall survival times, 42/22 months, P = 0.26. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that GA and GS are viable neoadjuvant treatment regimens in R/BR-PDAC. Although the GA group exhibited a favorable PFS outcome, the primary endpoint was not achieved.

AIM: Neoadjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for large tumors is controversial, especially in the minimally invasive surgery era. The aim of this study was to compare features between groups treated with neoadjuvant TACE followed by surgery (TACE + surgery) or upfront surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma >5 cm. METHODS: In this exploratory, multicenter, randomized phase I study, the primary measure was 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary measures were resection rate, necrosis rate by TACE, 2-year overall survival, and site of recurrence. A total of 30 patients were randomly allocated to each arm. RESULTS: The two arms did not differ in patient characteristics. The median time to surgery from randomization was 48 days for TACE + surgery and 29 for surgery only (p < 0.001). Postoperative morbidities did not differ between arms. The 2-year DFS, overall survival, and resection rates were 56.7%, 80.0%, and 93.3%, respectively, in the TACE + surgery arm, and 56.1%, 89.9%, and 90.0% in the upfront surgery arm. Minimally invasive surgery was carried out in 35.7% in the TACE + surgery arm and in 29.6% in the upfront surgery arm. The median necrosis rate by TACE was 90.0%. In resected specimens, invasion to the hepatic vein was less with TACE + surgery (3.6% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.0380). In cases of 100% necrosis with TACE, 2-year DFS was 100%. Site of recurrence did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant TACE did not improve 2-year DFS, and neoadjuvant TACE allowed delay of surgical treatment without increased morbidity and cancer progress. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: UMIN: 000005241.
RESUMEN
A 73-year-old man underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during a medical check-up that revealed a Type 2 lesion in the anterior wall of the gastric body. The biopsy confirmed tub2. A contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed focal wall thickening and lymphadenopathy in the gastric body. The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer(M, ante, Type 2, T4aN1M0, Stage â ¢A). Laparotomy total gastrectomy D2 dissection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were performed. Pathological results were tub1, int, INF b, ly0, v1, pT4aN0M0, pStage â ¡B. S-1(100 mg/day)was started as adjuvant chemotherapy but discontinued after 3 courses due to anorexia(Grade 2). Multiple pulmonary metastases(both lungs, 5)were confirmed by CT examination 9 months after the operation. A diagnosis of gastric cancer recurrence was made, and CapeOX plus nivolumab was started as first-line therapy. After 2 courses, lung metastases tended to shrink. The lesion developed a complete response(CR)after 3 months. After that, CapeOX plus nivolumab was continued, but peripheral neuropathy(Grade 2)was observed in the 15th course. With continued capecitabine monotherapy and nivolumab(impaired liver function [Grade 3]for irAE), despite the maintenance of CR, hepatic function increased repeatedly(Grade 3)and led to the discontinuation of chemotherapy upon patient's request. Currently, CR has been maintained for 5 years and 6 months after recurrence.

A 91-year-old man had a history of cholecystectomy and choledochostomy for cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Eleven years earlier, intrahepatic stones were found in the posterior bile duct, and he did not wish to undergo treatment. Over time, worsening of the intrahepatic stones and dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct were observed. At 91 years old, enhanced abdominal CT revealed wall thickening of the hilar bile duct, and MRCP showed stenosis of the hilar bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed no contrast in the right intrahepatic bile duct and marked dilation of the left intrahepatic bile duct. Brush cytology confirmed adenocarcinoma, leading to a diagnosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. He underwent open right and caudal lobectomy with biliary reconstruction. Histopathological examination revealed a hilar cholangiocarcinoma, T3N1M0, Stage â ¢c, mainly located at the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts. This case suggests a potential association between hepatolithiasis and hilar cholangiocarcinoma, emphasizing the importance of regular imaging examinations for timely surgical resection. Early intervention, including liver resection, is recommended for the management of hepatolithiasis.

Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has been covered by insurance since 2016 in Japan, and advance laparoscopic and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy has been also covered by insurance since 2020 in Japan. It has been reported that laparoscopic pancreatectomy causes few postoperative adhesions in the abdominal cavity and that repeat laparoscopic surgery could be performed. However, in robotic pancreatectomy, there have been no such reports yet. We reported that even after robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy, there were few adhesions in the abdominal cavity, and we were able to perform the robotic distal pancreatectomy with preservation of the splenic artery and vein. This suggested that robotic surgery was an effective treatment method for repeat pancreatectomy, given its low invasiveness and minimal adhesion.

We report a case in which a patient with advanced gastric cancer with liver metastasis and bulky N showed marked tumor shrinkage with chemotherapy, and underwent conversion surgery. A 77-year-old male. Patient was referred to our department because of advanced gastric cancer. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed type 2 advanced cancer in the posterior wall of the gastric antrum. Abdominal CT showed thickening of the gastric wall in the same region and bulky lymph node enlargement and para-aortic lymphadenopathy behind the stomach. Staging laparoscopy showed the primary tumor and bulky lymph nodes forming a single mass, invading the pancreas, jejunum, and mesentery, and a solitary mass in the hepatic S3. Biopsy pathology revealed adenocarcinoma. We diagnosed the advanced gastric cancer cT4b(pancreas, jejunum), N2M1 (LYM, HEP), P0CY0, Stage â £B. After 2 courses of systemic chemotherapy FOLFOX/nivolumab, total gastrectomy, D2 node dissection, splenectomy pancreas tail resection, cholecystectomy, hepatic resection, partial transverse colon resection, partial jejunum resection, Roux-en-Y reconstruction. R0 resection was performed. The operative time was 620 minutes and blood loss was 1,025 mL. Pathologically, the patient was diagnosed with hepatoid adenocarcinoma, ypT4bN1M1(LYM, HEP), ypStage â £. The pathological efficacy evaluation was Grade 1a in the primary tumor. The patient has been recurrence-free for 9 months since the initial diagnosis.

The patient was a 68-year-old woman without history of surgery. She presented with abdominal pain and leg edema. Ultrasound scan revealed hepatic masses. Colonoscopy and abdominal CT scan revealed unresectable rectal carcinoma with massive multiple liver metastases suspected of invasion of the inferior vena cava. After a transverse colon bi-pore colostomy, 10 courses of FOLFOX plus panitumumab therapy were administered, and the liver tumor was markedly reduced in size and determined to be PR by CT. Considering the possibility of unresectability due to the liver metastases re-growth, surgery was planned with liver-first approach(LFA). First, open resection of the right caudate lobe of the liver, combined resection of the IVC, combined resection of the diaphragm, partial hepatic S2 resection(2 sites), and cholecystectomy were performed, followed by laparoscopic anterior resection(D3)1 month later(R0). Postoperatively, the colostomy was closed after 8 courses of CapeOX(capecitabine alone from the middle of the course). Now the patient is alive and recurrence-free 4 years after the initial diagnosis. Conversion surgery with LFA after chemotherapy can be an effective treatment strategy for colorectal cancer with advanced liver metastases.

A 70s-year-old man visited the gastroenterologist with a complaint of bloody stool. Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a 50 mm type 0-â s+â ¡a lesion in the center of the anterior wall of Rb in 4 cm from anal verge, and he was diagnosed with rectal cancer in cT1bcN0cM0, cStage â . Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed, but it was discontinued due to muscular traction, and was referred to our department at a later date for surgical purposes. Robot-assisted laparoscopic Hartmann's surgery(D2 dissection, sigmoid colon colostomy)was performed, and the pathological result was pT2pN0cM0, pStage â with negative resection margins. Three months after the operation, a tumor was found on the left side of the stoma, and he visited us. Biopsy revealed the recurrence of skin metastasis of rectal cancer, and surgical procedure including colostomy and skin tumor resection, ileostomy, and colonic mucus fistula was performed. The patient was transferred to the hospital 3 months after the operation, but 2 months after the transfer, an increasing CEA was observed and CT revealed a local recurrence in the pelvis. Irradiation(45 Gy/15 times)was performed for the pain relief, but the general condition deteriorated thereafter and he died 8 months after the second operation.

BACKGROUND: Since a randomized phase â ¢ trial conducted in the UK in 2009 showed the superiority of gemcitabine (GEM)plus cisplatin(CDDP)combination therapy over GEM monotherapy, GEM plus CDDP combination therapy has been first-line chemotherapy for unresectable biliary tract cancer. METHODS: GEM plus CDDP combination therapy was administered to 29 patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer from 2016 to 2021. RESULTS: The mean age was 71.9 years, male/ female 19/10. The target of chemotherapy was below, local progression was 3 cases, first distant metastasis 7 cases, metastatic recurrence 19 cases. The type of cancer was below, intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma was 8 cases, hepatic hilar bile duct carcinoma 6 cases, gallbladder carcinoma 5 cases, cystic duct carcinoma 1 case, distal bile duct carcinoma 6 cases, and papilla Vater's cancer 3 cases. The dosing period was 23.1 weeks(range 2-52 weeks). The relative dose intensities of GEM and CDDP were 73.7% and 75.1%. The adverse events were below, the hematological toxicities of Grade 3 or higher were neutropenia(65.5%), leukopenia(3.4%), and thrombocytopenia(10.3%). Non-hematological toxicities of Grade 2 or higher were fatigue(13.7%)and skin rash(6.9%). There was no interstitial pneumonia. The disease control rate was 66.7 %(complete response, n=0; partial response, n=6; stable disease, n=10; progressive disease, n=8). CONCLUSION: GEM plus CDDP combination therapy was safe to perform and was an effective treatment for unresectable biliary tract cancer.

We report a case of postoperative multiple recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. A 73-year-old man with a chief complaint of abdominal distention was indicated a 90-mm-sized tumor extending from the lateral hepatic segment to the extrahepatic region by a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen. He underwent a laparoscopic liver resection of the lateral segment for suspected HCC, and was diagnosed as pStage â ¡ HCC. Six months after surgery, multiple recurrent at intrahepatic lesions and suspected lymph node recurrence or peritoneal dissemination were observed, and tumor markers were markedly elevated. The patient was diagnosed with multiple intrahepatic and extrahepatic recurrences of postoperative HCC and started combination chemotherapy with atezolizumab (1,200 mg/body)plus bevacizumab(15 mg/kg). After the initiation of the therapy, tumor size reduction and normalization of tumor markers were observed, and at 17 months postoperatively, tumor size reduction has been maintained and tumor markers were in the normal range. We report a case of postoperative intrahepatic and extrahepatic multiple recurrences of he patocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.

INTRODUCTION: There are few reports of surgery which preserve the function of pancreas for benign or low malignant tumors. While we have introduced laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD), we have also performed laparoscopic pancreas-sparing duodenectomy (LPSD). In the present study, we investigated surgical techniques and results of LPSD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 2019 and January 2022, 3 patients were underwent LPSD. The procedure was performed after obtaining approval from the Ethics Review Committee of our hospital. RESULTS: Three patients conducted LPSD were all males with a median age of 74 years, and diagnoses were adenomas of duodenum in 2 cases and gastrointestinal stromal tumor of duodenum in 1 case. The median blood loss was small amount. The median operative time was 430 minutes, and the median postoperative hospital stay was 13 days. One of the cases was performed with conversion to HALS. In LPSD, an intraoperative ultrasonography and an intraoperative radiographic contrast study were performed to confirm that the ampulla of Vater was preserved. There were no postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: We experienced cases performed LPSD in our hospital. We need further research for feasibility and safety of the procedure.

We report a case of a 73-year-old man who underwent endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for early rectal cancer(i ntramucosal cancer)at other hospital 17 years ago. Ten years later, he underwent a total colonoscopy, which showed no recurrence of the tumor. Twelve years later, a mass with calcification was incidentally detected in front of the sacrum, which was diagnosed as a benign tumor at that time. Seventeen years later, he presented with constipation and diarrhea, and was detected of a sub-circumferential tumor in the rectum by a total colonoscopy. Biopsy revealed that the tumor was malignancy. CT showed a mass in the left lateral liver lobe. The mass was suspected of metastasis. Laparoscopic super lower anterior resection was performed for rectal cancer, and pathological examination showed that the tumor was pT4a, N3, M1(H), Stage â £a. One month after surgery, laparoscopic hepatectomy was performed for liver metastasis. Six months after surgery, CT showed multiple lung metastases. He continues to undergo chemotherapy. Although this case was treated with EMR for intramucosal carcinoma, clinical history and pathological findings suggested local recurrence.

The patient was a 48-year-old woman. At the time of consultation, a hard mass of 30 mm in size was palpated in area A of the right breast, and a firm mass of about 10 mm was seen in the umbilical region. Histological diagnosis of the breast mass was invasive ductal carcinoma. PET-CT scan showed accumulation in the right breast, as well as suspicion of umbilical metastasis and peritoneal dissemination, uterine mass, and left ovarian cancer. Since this is an atypical metastatic site for invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, and the possibility of peritoneal dissemination due to gynecological cancer complications cannot be ruled out, resection of the umbilical mass and laparoscopy was performed. The review laparoscopy revealed no evidence of primary cancer in the uterine body or left ovary, and a white nodular lesion of suspected seeding in the peritoneum around the left ovary. The histology and immunostaining results of the umbilical mass and left peri-ovarian nodule both showed glandular luminal structures similar to those of the primary breast cancer, and the left peri-ovarian nodule was ER positive, GATA3 positive, and PAX8 negative, leading to the diagnosis of umbilical metastasis and peritoneal seeding derived from breast cancer. Umbilical metastasis is often referred to as Sister Mary Joseph's nodule in the case of visceral malignancies and is often associated with peritoneal dissemination and is often caused by invasive metastasis of peritoneal dissemination lesions on the dorsal side of the umbilical region. In this case, histological examination of the umbilical specimen showed no disseminated lesion on the peritoneal side, so it was not considered to be an invasive metastasis due to peritoneal dissemination.

Prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor due to recurrence in the early postoperative period. However, there are some reports that the prognosis for lung recurrence alone is relatively better than that of others. In this study, we report the cases of lung recurrence alone after radical resection of pancreatic cancer performed at our hospital. Among 255 cases of radical resection of pancreatic cancer performed at our hospital between July 2010 and August 2021, 6 cases in which the initial recurrence site of recurrence was lung alone were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 72 years (62-82), and there were 5 males and 1 female. Four patients had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy and 2 patients underwent distal pancreatectomy. Four patients received adjuvant chemotherapy, 3 with S-1 and 1 with GEM. No patients underwent surgical resection for recurrence of lung metastasis, and all patients were treated with chemotherapy. The median time to recurrence was 351 days. As initial therapy after recurrence, 3 patients received GEM plus nab-PTX combination therapy and 3 patients received S-1. The median overall survival after recurrence was 1,979 days, and the 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates after recurrence were 100% and 100%, respectively. The prognosis of patients with recurrence of lung metastasis after surgery for pancreatic cancer at our hospital was similarly good as the previous reports.

Malignant tumor occurring in the inguinal region are relatively infrequent, and metastatic tumor is extremely rare. We report a case of inguinal hernial sac metastasis of cecal cancer resected with TAPP approach. The case is a 80's man. One year and 6 months after cecal cancer surgery, contrast-enhanced computer tomography(CT)examination revealed a solitary tumor in the right inguinal canal. We diagnosed inguinal hernia sac metastasis of cecal cancer and performed surgery. The mass in the hernia sac was resected with the TAPP approach. Histopathological findings were consistent with peritoneal metastasis directly to the inguinal hernia sac. The patient has been alive without 2 years after metastasectomy. It is necessary to treat patients with a history of malignant disease with keeping the possibility of inguinal hernia sac metastasis in mind.

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD)has been covered by insurance since 2016 in Japan. Advance LPD and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy(RPD)has been also covered by insurance since 2020 in Japan. The aim of this study was to analyze the perioperative results and outcomes of RPD and LPD for the elderly patients and to compare to the non-elderly patients. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Between July 2020 and April 2023, 67 patients underwent RPD and between May 2012 and February 2021, 63 patients underwent LPD at Kansai Rosai Hospital. Sixty-seven RPD and 62 LPD patients without extended resection were divided into 2 groups those who were over 75 years old(R/LPD E)(n=55)and under 74 years old(R/LPD non-E)(n=74). Control patients who received open pancreaticoduodenectomy(OPD)without extended resection between April 2010 and April 2023 were also divided into 2 groups those who were over 75 years old(OPD E)(n =60)and under 74 years old(OPD non-E)(n=78). The patient age was 79.0 and 60.5 years, the male to female ratio was 35/20 and 45/29, disease ratio(invasive ductal carcinoma or not)was 7/48 and 9/65 in R/LPD E and R/LPD non-E groups, respectively. The patient age was 79.0 and 79.5 years, the male to female ratio was 35/20 and 31/29, disease ratio (invasive ductal carcinoma or not)was 7/48 and 30/30(p<0.0001)in R/LPD E and OPD E groups, respectively. This study was approved by the Human Ethics Review Committee of Kansai Rosai Hospital(Certificate Number: 2001019). RESULTS: The average operation time was 644.6 and 675.2 minutes, an estimated blood loss was 220.8 and 134.4 g, postoperative pancreatic fistula(ISGPS 2016, [-]/BL/Grade B/C)was 24/18/13/0 and 28/25/21/0, delayed gastric emptying(ISGPS 2007, [-]/Grade A/B/C)was 48/0/4/3 and 61/2/6/5 and postoperative hospital stay was 27.9 and 25.9 and in R/LPD E and R/LPD non-E groups, respectively. No significant differences were noted between the groups, However, postoperative complication over â ¢a Clavien-Dindo classification was 8(15.7%)and 3(4.4%)cases(p=0.0319)in R/LPD E and R/ LPD non-E groups. The average operation time was 644.6 and 492.1 minutes(p<0.0001), an estimated blood loss was 220.8 and 534.8 g(p=0.0004), postoperative pancreatic fistula(ISGPS 2016, [-]/BL/Grade B/C)was 24/18/13/0 and 27/8/24/1(p=0.0442), postoperative hospital stay was 27.9 and 42.0(p=0.0490)in R/LPD E and OPD E groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: The R/LPD was undergone in safety, even for the over 75 years old patients.

Para-aortic lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer surgery is a highly difficult surgical technique. In our hospital, we introduced robotic surgery in anticipation of the minimal invasiveness and advanced operability. We use a tunneling approach that progresses from the Treitz ligament to the peri-aorta. The transverse mesocolon is expanded with a tissue grasping clip, and the retroperitoneum is incised from the side of the Treitz ligament to approach the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. The No.16b1 and No.16a2 latero lymph nodes can be dissected with a good visual field. When it is judged that the visual field development of the No.16a2 inter-lymph nodes is poor, Kocher's operation is added. Since 2016, 18 patients have undergone para-aortic lymphadenectomy, 3 of whom underwent robotic surgery in our hospital. R0 resection was performed in all the cases, and 22.5 lymph nodes were dissected as No.16 lymph nodes(20.0 in all the cases included laparotomy). Although only a small number of patients were examined, robot-assisted para-aortic lymphadenectomy was considered safe.

A 75-year-old female, at her initial presentation, the tumor occupied her entire right breast, with a foul-smelling exudate. A biopsy revealed ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and CT revealed multiple lung metastases. Paclitaxel and fulvestrant were administered sequentially, the bleeding from the right breast mass stopped and the mass flattened. But, as the tumor progressed, the right breast mass re-enlarged and began to re-bleed. Therefore, hemostatic treatment with Mohs paste was performed in parallel with tamoxifen. Hemostatic effect was observed for a while, but she gradually became refractory to Mohs paste, necessitating frequent blood transfusions. It was decided to discontinue systemic drug therapy and consider palliative treatment, and to perform radiation therapy in parallel with Mohs paste treatment for the purpose of local control. After radiation therapy, the bleeding has completely stopped and blood transfusion has not to be required for 6 months. Although systemic drug therapy has been discontinued at the patient's request, she is still alive. While systemic drug therapy was discontinued, we were able to confirm the pure local control effect of combination of radiation therapy and Mohs paste.
