RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NF-PanNET) ≤ 2 cm can be observed or resected. Surgery remains recommended for NF-PanNET > 2 cm but its extent, enucleation (EN) versus formal resection, remains controversial. METHODS: Multicentric retrospective cohort of sporadic NF-PanNET patients treated with EN. Short and long-term outcomes were compared according to tumor size on imaging ≤ 2 cm vs > 2 cm. RESULTS: 131patients underwent EN for NF-PanNET, including 103 (79.0%) ≤ 2 cm and 28 (21.0%) > 2 cm (extremes, 4-55 mm). Patients' characteristics were comparable, and tumor characteristics only differed in their diameter. Clavien III-IV complications were similar (18.4% vs 17.9%, p= 1.00) with one death in NF-PanNET ≤ 2cm. Grade B/C pancreatic fistula were comparable (16.5% vs 10.7%, p= 0.850). In NF-PanNET > 2cm there were more pT2/3 stage tumors (85.7% vs 21.4%, p<0.001), similar rates of grade G2/3 tumors (25% vs 16.5%, p= 0.408) with a median Ki67 of 2 (IQR: 1-3), and of lymphovascular and perineural invasions. Lymph node picking was done in 46 (35.1%) patients, with a higher median number of harvested lymph nodes in NF-PanNET > 2 cm (4 vs 3, p= 0.01). All were pN0. R0 resection rate (78.6% vs 82.5%, respectively; p= 0.670) was equivalent. Five-year overall (100% vs 99%, p= 0.602) and 10-year disease-free (96% vs 92%, respectively; p= 0.532) survivals were comparable. CONCLUSIONS: EN for selected NF-PanNET > 2 cm carries equivalent morbidity, overall and disease-free survivals compared to those observed with NF-PanNET ≤ 2 cm.
RESUMO
AIMS: Several medicinal treatments for avoiding postoperative ileus (POI) after abdominal surgery have been evaluated in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This network meta-analysis aimed to explore the relative effectiveness of these different treatments on ileus outcome measures. METHODS: A systematic literature review was performed to identify RCTs comparing treatments for POI following abdominal surgery. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed. Direct and indirect comparisons of all regimens were simultaneously compared using random-effects network meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 38 RCTs were included in this network meta-analysis reporting on 6371 patients. Our network meta-analysis shows that prokinetics significantly reduce the duration of first gas (mean difference [MD] = 16 h; credible interval -30, -3.1; surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA] 0.418), duration of first bowel movements (MD = 25 h; credible interval -39, -11; SUCRA 0.25) and duration of postoperative hospitalization (MD -1.9 h; credible interval -3.8, -0.040; SUCRA 0.34). Opioid antagonists are the only treatment that significantly improve the duration of food recovery (MD -19 h; credible interval -26, -14; SUCRA 0.163). CONCLUSION: Based on our meta-analysis, the 2 most consistent pharmacological treatments able to effectively reduce POI after abdominal surgery are prokinetics and opioid antagonists. The absence of clear superiority of 1 treatment over another highlights the limits of the pharmacological principles available.

BACKGROUND: About 20% of patients with acute pancreatitis develop a necrotising form with a worse prognosis due to frequent appearance of organ failure(s) and/or infection of necrosis. Aims of the present study was to evaluate the "step up" approach treatment of infected necrosis in terms of: feasibility, success in resolving infection, morbidity of procedures, risk factors associated with death and long-term sequels. METHODS: In this observational retrospective monocentric study in the real life, necrotizing acute pancreatitis at the stage of infected walled-off necrosis were treated as follow: first step with drainage (radiologic and/or endoscopic-ultrasound-guided with lumen apposing metal stent); in case of failure, minimally invasive necrosectomy sessions(s) by endoscopy through the stent and/or via retroperitoneal surgery (step 2); If necessary open surgery as a third step. Efficacy was assessed upon to a composite clinical-biological criterion: resolution of organ failure(s), decrease of at least two of clinico-biological criteria among fever, CRP serum level, and leucocytes count). RESULTS: Forty-one consecutive patients were treated. The step-up strategy: (i) was feasible in 100% of cases; (ii) allowed the infection to be resolved in 33 patients (80.5%); (iii) Morbidity was mild and rapidly resolutive; (iv) the mortality rate at 6 months was of 19.5% (significant factors: SIRS and one or more organ failure(s) at admission, fungal infection, size of the largest collection ≥ 16 cm). During the follow-up (median 72 months): 27% of patients developed an exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, 45% developed or worsened a previous diabetes, 24% had pancreatic fistula and one parietal hernia. CONCLUSIONS: Beside a very good feasibility, the step-up approach for treatment of infected necrotizing pancreatitis in the real life displays a clinico-biological efficacy in 80% of cases with acceptable morbidity, mortality and long-term sequels regarding the severity of the disease.

BACKGROUND: In the event of symptomatic common bile duct (CBD) stones with dilated CBD, one possible curative treatment option is stone extraction through choledocotomy associated with cholecystectomy. Endoscopic treatment is only reserved for residual stones at 6 weeks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results from laparoscopic curative surgical treatment of CBD stones with dilated CBD. METHODS: This is a retrospective single-centered cohort study. All consecutive patients admitted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with evidence of CBD stones with dilated CBD from January 2010 to December 2020 at our center were included. Success was defined by CBD clearance at 6 weeks. Need for additional procedures, such as endoscopic sphincterotomy, immediate, and end-of-procedure morbi-mortality as well as factors associated with procedure failure, were also studied. RESULTS: A total of 246 patients who received curative treatment were included in the study. The success rate for the curative treatment was 93.1% (229 patients). Immediate postoperative morbidity was 24.4% with a 5.3% reintervention rate. Immediate and 6-week postoperative mortality rates were zero and 0.4%, respectively. The mean length of stay was 11.3 days. Factors associated with procedure failure appeared to be the occurrence of an early postoperative complication and the need for readmission during the period between surgery and drain removal. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that laparoscopic curative surgical treatment for symptomatic CBD stones may be performed with acceptable results without routine need for additional procedures.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative complications, especially pulmonary complications, affect more than half the patients who undergo open esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Whether hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy results in lower morbidity than open esophagectomy is unclear. METHODS: We performed a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial involving patients 18 to 75 years of age with resectable cancer of the middle or lower third of the esophagus. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo transthoracic open esophagectomy (open procedure) or hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (hybrid procedure). Surgical quality assurance was implemented by the credentialing of surgeons, standardization of technique, and monitoring of performance. Hybrid surgery comprised a two-field abdominal-thoracic operation (also called an Ivor-Lewis procedure) with laparoscopic gastric mobilization and open right thoracotomy. The primary end point was intraoperative or postoperative complication of grade II or higher according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (indicating major complication leading to intervention) within 30 days. Analyses were done according to the intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS: From October 2009 through April 2012, we randomly assigned 103 patients to the hybrid-procedure group and 104 to the open-procedure group. A total of 312 serious adverse events were recorded in 110 patients. A total of 37 patients (36%) in the hybrid-procedure group had a major intraoperative or postoperative complication, as compared with 67 (64%) in the open-procedure group (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18 to 0.55; P<0.001). A total of 18 of 102 patients (18%) in the hybrid-procedure group had a major pulmonary complication, as compared with 31 of 103 (30%) in the open-procedure group. At 3 years, overall survival was 67% (95% CI, 57 to 75) in the hybrid-procedure group, as compared with 55% (95% CI, 45 to 64) in the open-procedure group; disease-free survival was 57% (95% CI, 47 to 66) and 48% (95% CI, 38 to 57), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We found that hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy resulted in a lower incidence of intraoperative and postoperative major complications, specifically pulmonary complications, than open esophagectomy, without compromising overall and disease-free survival over a period of 3 years.

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.

INTRODUCTION: The transition from medical student to surgical resident is not a simple one. The aim of this study was to report the experience of a university hospital in the organization of the induction course for future surgical residents and the contribution of a video support in the learning of the suture. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We were able to study two consecutive years of students (October 2020 and 2021). Concerning the practical and technical workshops (learning suture) we carried out a comparative study between two groups of students. A group that had video support for learning suture (video group) and a group without video (control group). The evaluation of the suture was performed in a blinded manner by two supervising surgeons. The other practical workshop was drain fixation; the students did not have a video for this workshop. A comparative study was also performed for the drain fixation workshop between the two groups (video group and control group). A program of theoretical courses was also set up. This program is established according to the different future functions of the residents by integrating medico-legal notions and teamwork. Satisfaction questionnaires were given to the students and the answers were given two months after taking up their duties in the hospital (6 questions with Likert scale and 4 free questions). RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 58 students (29 each in 2020 and 29 in 2021). Comparative analyses of the evaluation of the suture workshops showed better performance in the video group compared with the group without video. The comparison of these two groups did not show significant differences in the drain fixation workshop. The theoretical teaching was broken down according to the students' future tasks and each speaker was a specialist in his or her field of expertise. The results of the questionnaires showed a desire on the part of the students to increase the time spent on practical workshops and theoretical forensic teaching. CONCLUSION: We were able to show through these two years of a program that we were able to offer a surgical resident preparation course. In addition, we have highlighted the contribution of a video support in the learning curve of the suture.

BACKGROUND: Abdominoperineal resection is the standard curative surgical technique for locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum and squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal after chemoradiotherapy. However, it requires a definitive abdominal colostomy that modifies the body appearance. OBJECTIVE: The study aim was to evaluate the combination of abdominoperineal resection with perineal colostomy reconstruction and Malone antegrade continence enema. DESIGN: This was a retrospective study. SETTINGS: The study was conducted at the Toulouse Hospital Digestive Surgery Department. PATIENTS: All of the patients with advanced adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma who underwent abdominoperineal resection with perineal colostomy reconstruction and Malone antegrade continence enema (n = 80) between December 1999 and December 2016 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome was the 5-year overall survival rate. RESULTS: The 5-year overall survival was 74.89% (95% CI, 62.91%-83.50%), and the median recurrence-free survival was 107.6 months (95% CI, 65.1-198.1 mo). The median follow-up was 91.0 months (95% CI, 70.4-116.6 mo). R0 resection was obtained in 64 patients (80.0%). The median Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score (to assess the functional outcomes) was 9.0 (interquartile range, 1.0-18.0), and it was lower in patients with advanced adenocarcinoma than with squamous cell carcinoma (7.0 (interquartile range, 2.0-18.0) vs 11.0 (interquartile range, 1.0-17.0); p = 0.01). Eleven patients (13.8%) reported perineal stains during the night, and 19 patients (23.8%) needed drugs to reduce colon motility. The rate of severe complications (Clavien-Dindo >II) was 11.7% (n = 9). Definitive colostomy was performed in 15 patients (18.8%). LIMITATIONS: This retrospective study included a small number of patients from a single center. Moreover, the functional outcome was tested with self-report questionnaires (risk of response bias). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that abdominoperineal resection associated with perineal reconstruction by perineal colostomy and Malone antegrade continence enema is safe and may improve patient quality of life.

La mediana de seguimiento fue de 91,0 meses (IC del 95%, 70,4-116,6). La resección R0 se obtuvo en 64 pacientes (80,0%). La mediana de puntuación de la escala de incontinencia de la Cleveland Clinic (para evaluar los resultados funcionales) fue de 9,0 [1,0; 18,0], y fue menor en pacientes con adenocarcinoma avanzado que con carcinoma de células escamosas (7,0 [2,0; 18,0] versus 11,0 [1,0; 17,0]; p = 0,01). Once pacientes (13,8%) refirieron manchado perineal nocurno y 19 pacientes (23,8%) necesitaron fármacos para reducir la motilidad del colon. La tasa de complicaciones graves (Clavien-Dindo > II) fue del 11,7% (n = 9). Se realizó colostomía definitiva en 15 (18,8%) pacientes.LIMITACIONES:Este estudio retrospectivo incluyó un pequeño número de pacientes y de un solo centro. Además, el resultado funcional se probó con cuestionarios de autoinforme (riesgo de sesgo de respuesta).CONCLUSIONES:Este estudio sugiere que la resección abdominoperineal asociada con la confección de una colostomía perineal asociada a enemas de continencia anterógrada según Malone es segura y puede mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

BACKGROUND: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication following splenectomy. It affects between 5 and 55% of patients undergoing surgery with no clearly defined pre-operative risk factors. The aim of this study was to determine the pre-operative risk factors of PVT. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Single centre, retrospective study of data compiled for every consecutive patient who underwent splenectomy at Toulouse University Hospital between January 2009 and January 2019. Patients with pre- and post-surgical CT scans have been included. RESULTS: 149 out of 261 patients were enrolled in the study (59% were males, mean age 52 years). The indications for splenectomy were splenic trauma (30.9%), malignant haemopathy (26.8%) and immune thrombocytopenia (8.0%). Twenty-nine cases of PVT (19.5%) were diagnosed based on a post-operative CT scan performed on post-operative day (POD) 5. Univariate analysis identifies three main risk factors associated with post-operative PVT: estimated splenic weight exceeding 500 g with an OR of 8.72 95% CI (3.3-22.9), splenic vein diameter over 10 mm with an OR of 4.92 95% CI (2.1-11.8) and lymphoma with an OR of 7.39 (2.7-20.1). The role of splenic vein diameter with an OR of 3.03 95% CI (1.1-8.6), and splenic weight with an OR of 5.22 (1.8-15.2), as independent risk factors is confirmed by multivariate analysis. A screening test based on a POD 5 CT scan with one or two of these items present could indicate sensitivity of 86.2% and specificity of 86.7%. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that pre-operative CT scan findings could predict post-operative PVT. A CT scan should be performed on POD 5 if a risk factor has been identified prior to surgery.

OBJECTIVE: Hepatitis E virus (HEV), one of the most common agent of acute hepatitis worldwide, is mainly transmitted enterically, via contaminated water for HEV genotypes 1 (HEV1) and HEV2, or by eating raw or undercooked infected meat for HEV genotype 3 (HEV3) and HEV4. However, little is known about how the ingested HEV reaches the liver or its ability to replicate in intestinal cells. DESIGN: We developed human primary cultures of small intestine epithelial cells and intestinal explants obtained from small bowel resections. The epithelial cells were also polarised on transwells. Cells were infected with Kernow-p6 strain or clinically derived virions. RESULTS: Primary intestinal cells supported the growth of Kernow-p6 strain and HEV1 and HEV3 clinically derived virions. Polarised enterocytes infected with HEV1 and HEV3 strains released HEV particles vectorially: mostly into the apical compartment with a little basally. Iodixanol density gradient centrifugation of enterocyte-derived HEV virions gave bands at a density of 1.06-1.08 g/cm3, corresponding to that of quasi-enveloped HEV particles. Ribavirin therapy inhibited HEV excretion from the basal surface but not from the apical side of infected human enterocytes. HEV virions also infected intestinal tissue explants. Lastly, HEV RNA and antigen were detected in the intestinal crypts of a chronically infected patient. CONCLUSION: HEV can replicate in intestinal cells and reaches the liver as quasi-enveloped virions.

BACKGROUND: Hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (HMIE) has been shown to reduce major postoperative complications compared with open esophagectomy (OE) for esophageal cancer. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following HMIE and OE within a randomized controlled trial. METHODS: We performed a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial at 13 study centers between 2009 and 2012. Patients aged 18 to 75 years with resectable cancers of the middle or lower third of the esophagus were randomized to undergo either transthoracic OE or HMIE. Patients were followed-up every 6 months for 3 years postoperatively and global health assessed with EORTC-QLQC30 and esophageal symptoms assessed with EORTC-OES18. RESULTS: The short-term reduction in global HRQOL at 30 days specifically role functioning [-33.33 (HMIE) vs -46.3 (OE); P = 0.0407] and social functioning [-16.88 (HMIE) vs -35.74 (OE); P = 0.0003] was less substantial in the HMIE group. At 2 years, social functioning had improved following HMIE to beyond baseline (+5.37) but remained reduced in the OE group (-8.33) (P = 0.0303). At 2 years, increases in pain were similarly reduced in the HMIE compared with the OE group [+6.94 (HMIE) vs +14.05 (OE); P = 0.018]. Postoperative complications in multivariate analysis were associated with role functioning, pain, and dysphagia. CONCLUSIONS: Esophagectomy has substantial effects upon short-term HRQOL. These effects for some specific parameters are, however, reduced with HMIE, with persistent differences up to 2 years, and maybe mediated by a reduction in postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the distant metastatic potential of duodeno-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (DP-NETs) in patients with MEN1, according to functional status and size. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: DP-NETs, with their numerous lesions and endocrine secretion-related symptoms, continue to be a medical challenge; unfortunately they can become aggressive tumors associated with distant metastasis, shortening survival. The survival of patients with large nonfunctional DP-NETs is known to be poor, but the overall contribution of DP-NETs to metastatic spread is poorly known. METHODS: The study population included patients with DP-NETs diagnosed after 1990 and followed in the MEN1 cohort of the Groupe d'étude des Tumeurs Endocrines (GTE). A multistate Markov piecewise constant intensities model was applied to separate the effects of prognostic factors on 1) metastasis, and 2) metastasis-free death or 3) death after appearance of metastases. RESULTS: Among the 603 patients included, 39 had metastasis at diagnosis of DP-NET, 50 developed metastases during follow-up, and 69 died. The Markov model showed that Zollinger-Ellison-related tumors (regardless of tumor size and thymic tumor pejorative impact), large tumors over 2âcm, and age over 40 years were independently associated with an increased risk of metastases. Men, patients over 40 years old and patients with tumors larger than 2âcm, also had an increased risk of death once metastasis appeared. CONCLUSIONS: DP-NETs of 2âcm in size or more, regardless of the associated secretion, should be removed to prevent metastasis and increase survival. Surgery for gastrinoma remains debatable.

BACKGROUND: Management of patients with resectable hepatic metastases (HMs) and colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRPC) is not currently standardised. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to evaluate the safety of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) and hepatic surgery for patients with CRPC with synchronous hepatic metastases (HM), and its impact on survival rates. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed, including patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC for CRPC from 2007 to September 2016 in two groups, with (HM+) and without (HM-) synchronous hepatic metastases. Patients with extra-abdominal metastases were excluded. The hepatic strategy was described. Morbimortality and survival were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: One hundred nine patients underwent CRS/HIPEC for CRPC with or without hepatic surgery with curative intent: 33 patients with (HM+) and 76 patients without (HM-) synchronous HM. The median follow-up was 30 months. All patients with HM (HM+) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy vs. 88.1% in the HM- group (p = 0.04) associated with monoclonal antibody in 66.6% of cases in the HM+ group vs. 57% in the HM- group (p = 0.01). In the HM+ group, two steps were implemented to treat peritoneal and hepatic metastases in 15 patients (45%). In this group, planned hepatic resection in two procedures was performed for eight patients, all presenting bilobar HM. Postoperative morbidity did not differ between the two groups. No deaths occurred. Median overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were 31 and 65 months (p = 0.188), versus 21 and 24 months (p = 0.119), respectively, in the HM+ versus HM- groups. In multivariate analysis, the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was the only significant prognostic factor whereas synchronous HM was not a significant prognostic factor. CONCLUSION: Curative surgical treatment for CRPC with synchronous HM seems to be feasible and safe, and could facilitate long survival rates, compared to patients without HM. The hepatic strategy is not standardised. However, a "two-step" surgical strategy could be proposed in order to reduce postoperative morbidity rates.

BACKGROUND: Based on current guidelines, clinical T3N0M0 esophageal tumors may or may not receive neoadjuvant treatment, according to their perception as locally advanced (cT3) or early-stage tumors (stage II). The study aim was to assess the impact of neoadjuvant treatment upon survival for cT3N0M0 esophageal cancer patients, with subgroup analyses by histological type (squamous cell carcinoma vs adenocarcinoma) and type of neoadjuvant treatment (chemotherapy vs radiochemotherapy). METHODS: Data from patients operated on for esophageal cancer in 30 European centers were collected. Among the 382 of 2944 patients with clinical T3N0M0 stage at initial diagnosis (13.0%), we compared those treated with primary surgery (S, n = 193) versus with neoadjuvant treatment plus surgery (NS, n = 189). RESULTS: The S and NS groups were similar regarding their demographic and surgical characteristics. In-hospital postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were comparable between groups. Patients were found to be pN+ in 64.2% versus 42.9% in the S and NS groups respectively (P < 0.001), pN2/N3 in 35.2% versus 21.2% (P < 0.001), stage 0 in 0% versus 16.4% (P < 0.001), and R0 in 81.3% versus 89.4% of cases (P = 0.026). Median overall and disease-free survivals were significantly better in the NS group, 38.4 versus 27.9 months (P = 0.007) and 31.6 versus 27.5 months (P = 0.040), respectively, and this difference remained for both histological types. Radiotherapy did not offer a benefit compared with chemotherapy alone (P = 0.687). In multivariable analysis, neoadjuvant treatment was an independent favorable prognostic factor (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.58-0.99, P = 0.044). CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant treatment offers a significant survival benefit for clinical T3N0M0 esophageal cancer.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess the relevance of resection margin status for survival after resection of pancreatic-head ductal adenocarcinoma. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The definition and prognostic value of incomplete microscopic resection (R1) remain controversial. METHODS: Prognostic factors were analyzed in 147 patients included in a prospective multicenter study on the impact of tumor clearance evaluated using a standardized pathology protocol. RESULTS: Thirty patients received neoadjuvant treatment (NAT = 20%); 41 had venous resection (VR = 28%), and 70% received adjuvant chemotherapy. In-hospital mortality was 3% (5/147). Follow-up was 83 months. Tumor clearance was 0, <1.0, <1.5, and <2.0âmm in 35 (25%), 92 (65%), 95 (67%), and 109 (77%) patients, respectively. R0-resection rates decreased from 75% to 35% when changing the definition of R1 status from R1-direct invasion (0âmm) to R1 <1.0âmm. On univariate analysis, clearance <1.0 or <1.5âmm, pT stage, pN stage, LNR ≥0.2, tumor grade 3, and lymphovascular invasion were significantly associated with 5-year survival. On multivariate analysis, pN was the most powerful independent predictor (P = 0.004). Clearance <1.0 or <1.5âmm had borderline significance for the entire cohort, but was relevant in certain subgroups (upfront pancreatectomy (n = 117; P = 0.049); without VR or NAT (n = 87; P = 0.003); N+ without VR or NAT (n = 50; P = 0.004). No N0-patient had R1-0âmm. Additional independent risk predictors were (1) R1 <1.0âmm for the SMA-margin in specific subgroups (upfront pancreatectomy, N0 patients without NAT, N+ patients without NAT or VR; (2) R1-0âmm posterior-margin for the NAT group (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Tumor clearance <1.0 or <1.5âmm was an independent determinants of postresection survival in certain subgroups. To avoid misinterpretation, future trials should specify the clearance margin in millimeter. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00918853.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to the determine impact of severe esophageal anastomotic leak (SEAL) upon long-term survival and locoregional cancer recurrence. BACKGROUND: The impact of SEAL upon long-term survival after esophageal resection remains inconclusive with a number of studies demonstrating conflicting results. METHODS: A multicenter database for the surgical treatment of esophageal cancer collected data from 30 university hospitals (2000-2010). SEAL was defined as a Clavien-Dindo III or IV leak. Patients with SEAL were compared with those without in terms of demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical technique, morbidity, survival, and recurrence. RESULTS: From a database of 2944 operated on for esophageal cancer between 2000 and 2010, 209 patients who died within 90 days of surgery and 296 patients with a R1/R2 resection were excluded, leaving 2439 included in the final analysis; 208 (8.5%) developed a SEAL and significant independent association was observed with low hospital procedural volume, cervical anastomosis, tumoral stage III/IV, and pulmonary and cardiovascular complications. SEAL was associated with a significant reduction in median overall (35.8 vs 54.8 months; Pâ=â0.002) and disease-free (34 vs 47.9 months; Pâ=â0.005) survivals. After adjustment of confounding factors, SEAL was associated with a 28% greater likelihood of death [hazard ratioâ=â1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-1.59; Pâ=â0.022], as well as greater overall (ORâ=â1.35; 95% CI: 1.15-1.73; Pâ=â0.011), locoregional (ORâ=â1.56; 95% CI: 1.05-2.24; Pâ=â0.030), and mixed (ORâ=â1.81; 95% CI: 1.20-2.71; Pâ=â0.014) recurrences. CONCLUSIONS: This large multicenter study provides strong evidence that SEAL adversely impacts cancer prognosis. The mechanism through which SEAL increases local recurrence is an important area for future research.

BACKGROUND: Whereas the optimal therapeutic strategy in node positive esophageal cancer primarily treated by surgery remains unknown, the study was designed to evaluate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on survival in such population. METHODS: Among 2944 consecutive patients operated on for esophageal cancer between 2000 and 2010 in 30 European centers, patients with lymph node metastasis treated by adjuvant treatment (n = 178) were compared to patients who did not received adjuvant treatment (n = 378). Multivariable analyses and propensity score matching were used to compensate for differences in baseline characteristics. RESULTS: After matching, patients were comparable between the two groups. When comparing adjuvant treatment and nonadjuvant treatment groups, there was no significant differences in 3-year overall (40.9 vs. 35.8 %, P = 0.560) and disease-free (33.9 vs. 28.5 %, P = 0.190) survivals. Locoregional recurrence was lower in the adjuvant treatment group (14.4 vs. 30.9 %, P = 0.012). In the adjuvant treatment group, 94 patients received chemotherapy and 84 chemoradiotherapy, without significant survival benefit over chemoradiotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone (P = 0.280). Predictive factors of overall survival were age ≥60 years, ASA III-IV score, and pN+ classification. No survival benefit was observed according to histological subtype or occurrence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Adjuvant chemo(radio)therapy did not offer survival benefit in lymph node-positive esophageal cancer patients primarily treated with surgery.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) on anastomotic leakage (AL) and other postoperative outcomes after esophageal cancer (EC) resection. BACKGROUND: Conflicting data have emerged from randomized studies regarding the impact of NCRT on AL. METHODS: Among 2944 consecutive patients operated on for EC between 2000 and 2010 in 30 European centers, patients treated by NCRT after surgery (n=593) were compared with those treated by primary surgery (n=1487). Multivariable analyses and propensity score matching were used to compensate for the differences in some baseline characteristics. RESULTS: Patients in the NCRT group were younger, with a higher prevalence of male sex, malnutrition, advanced tumor stage, squamous cell carcinoma, and surgery after 2005 when compared with the primary surgery group. Postoperative AL rates were 8.8% versus 10.6% (P=0.220), and 90-day postoperative mortality and morbidity rates were 9.3% versus 7.2% (P=0.110) and 33.4% versus 32.1% (P=0.564), respectively. Pulmonary complication rates did not differ between groups (24.6% vs 22.5%; P=0.291), whereas chylothorax (2.5% vs 1.2%; P=0.020), cardiovascular complications (8.6% vs 0.1%; P=0.037), and thromboembolic events (8.6% vs 6.0%; P=0.037) were higher in the NCRT group. After propensity score matching, AL rates were 8.8% versus 11.3% (P=0.228), with more chylothorax (2.5% vs 0.7%; P=0.030) and trend toward more cardiovascular and thromboembolic events in the NCRT group (P=0.069). Predictors of AL were high American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, supracarinal tumoral location, and cervical anastomosis, but not NCRT. CONCLUSIONS: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not have an impact on the AL rate after EC resection (NCT 01927016).

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the impact of a standardized pathological protocol on resection margin status after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: A total of 150 patients operated during 2008-2010 were included in a prospective multicentre study using a 'quality protocol'. Multicolour inking by the surgeon identified three resection margins: the portal vein-superior mesenteric vein margin (PV-SMVm) or mesenterico-portal vein groove; the superior mesenteric artery margin (SMAm), and the posterior margin. Resection margins were stratified by 0.5-mm increments (range: 0-2.0 mm). Pancreatic neck, bile duct and intestinal margins were also analysed. Correlations between histopathological factors and survival in the 0-mm resection margin group were analysed. RESULTS: Thirty-six patients (24%) had a PV-SMV resection (PV-SMVR). An analysis of resections categorized according to margin distances of 0 mm, <1.0 mm, <1.5 mm and <2.0 mm confirmed R1 resections in 35 (23%), 91 (61%), 94 (63%) and 107 (71%) patients, respectively. The most frequently invaded resection margin was the PV-SMVm (35% of all patients) and PV-SMVR was the only factor correlated with a higher risk for at least one 0-mm positive resection margin on multivariate analysis (P < 0.001). Two-year progression-free survival (PFS) and median PFS time in patients with R0 and R1 resections (at 0 mm), respectively, were 42.0% and 26.5%, and 19.5 months and 10.5 months, respectively (P = 0.02). A positive PV-SMVm and SMAm had significant impact on PFS, whereas a positive posterior margin had no impact. CONCLUSIONS: Pancreaticoduodenectomy requiring PV-SMVR was associated with a higher risk for R1 resection. The standardization of histopathological analysis has a clinically relevant impact on PFS data.

BACKGROUND: The persistence of intact replication-competent HIV-1 proviruses is responsible for the virological rebound off treatment. The gut could be a major reservoir of HIV-1 due to the high number of infected target cells. METHODS: We collected blood samples and intestinal biopsies (duodenum, ileum, colon) from 42 people with HIV-1 receiving effective antiretroviral therapy. We used the Intact Proviral DNA Assay to estimate the frequency of intact HIV-1 proviruses in the blood and in the intestinal mucosa of these individuals. We analyzed the genetic complexity of the HIV-1 reservoir by performing single-molecule next-generation sequencing of HIV-1 env DNA. The activation/exhaustion profile of mucosal T lymphocytes was assessed by flow cytometry. FINDINGS: Intact proviruses are particularly enriched in the colon. Residual HIV-1 transcription in the gut is associated with persistent mucosal and systemic immune activation. The HIV-1 intestinal reservoir appears to be shaped by the proliferation of provirus-hosting cells. The genetic complexity of the viral reservoir in the colon is positively associated with TIGIT expression but negatively with PD-1, and inversely related to its intact content. The size of the intact reservoir in the colon is associated with PD-1+TIGIT- mucosal CD4+ T cells, particularly in CD27+ memory cells, whose proliferation and survival could contribute to the enrichment of the viral reservoir by intact proviruses. INTERPRETATION: Enrichment in intact proviruses makes the gut a key compartment for HIV-1 persistence on antiretroviral therapy.
