RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The selection of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer or appendiceal neoplasms following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) depends on the surgeon's discretion. This study was designed to compare postoperative and oncologic outcomes of HIPEC and EPIC using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). METHODS: This study included 175 patients who received HIPEC or EPIC following CRS at a single tertiary university hospital between December 1999 and December 2020. Inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis was performed to control for pretreatment characteristics between the two groups. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine factors associated with postoperative and survival outcomes. RESULTS: After IPTW, no significant differences in baseline demographics and tumor characteristics were observed between the two groups. The HIPEC group had a significantly longer operation time than the EPIC group. The EPIC group showed a significantly higher postoperative mortality rate than the HIPEC group. Operation time (odds ratio [OR] 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.02; p < 0.001), bowel anastomosis (OR 7.25; 95% CI 1.16-45.2; p = 0.034), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR 7.62; 95% CI 1.85-31.4; p = 0.005), and EPIC (OR 8.76; 95% CI 2.16-35.5; p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for major surgical complications. No association was observed between intraperitoneal chemotherapy type and major hematologic toxicity, overall survival, progression-free survival, or peritoneal progression-free survival. CONCLUSIONS: EPIC was a risk factor for major surgical complications. Survival outcomes were similar between the two types of intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
RESUMEN
Human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) is a human parvovirus that causes lower respiratory tract infections in young children. It contains a single-stranded (ss) DNA genome of ~5.5 kb that encodes a small noncoding RNA of 140 nucleotides known as bocavirus-encoded small RNA (BocaSR), in addition to viral proteins. Here, we determined the secondary structure of BocaSR in vivo by using DMS-MaPseq. Our findings reveal that BocaSR undergoes N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification at multiple sites, which is critical for viral DNA replication in both dividing HEK293 cells and nondividing cells of the human airway epithelium. Mechanistically, we found that m6A-modified BocaSR serves as a mediator for recruiting Y-family DNA repair DNA polymerase (Pol) η and Pol κ likely through a direct interaction between BocaSR and the viral DNA replication origin at the right terminus of the viral genome. Thus, this report represents direct involvement of a viral small noncoding RNA in viral DNA replication through m6A modification.

PURPOSE: The present study aims to assess the efficacy of stage-matched, self-managed Return to Work (RTW) interventions in enhancing RTW outcomes among colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. METHODS: This trial, conducted in South Korea, enrolled 58 unemployed survivors of colorectal cancer. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental group received a self-managed return-to-work intervention based on the trans-theoretical model, while the control group received an educational booklet. Assessments were conducted at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months to measure changes in various factors including return-to-work status and HRQOL. RESULTS: In the experimental group, 28 participants were randomly assigned, while 30 individuals were allocated to the control group. The experimental group exhibited a higher proportion of individuals achieving RTW (64.5% vs 39.3%, p = 0.013) and demonstrated greater improvements in work ability (p = 0.001), RTW self-efficacy (p = 0.035), readiness for RTW in the prepared-for-action (p < 00.0001), uncertain maintenance (p = 0.033), and proactive maintenance (p < 00.0001) stages, quality of working life (p = 0.003), HRQOL (p < 0.05), and illness perception (p < 0.05) compared to the control group at the 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Stage-matched self-managed RTW interventions incorporating TTM principles may effectively enhance RTW outcomes and work ability among CRC survivors.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, with F508del being the most prevalent mutation. The combination of CFTR modulators (potentiator and correctors) has provided benefit to CF patients carrying the F508del mutation; however, the safety and effectiveness of in utero combination modulator therapy remains unclear. We created a F508del ferret model to test whether ivacaftor/lumacaftor (VX-770/VX-809) therapy can rescue in utero and postnatal pathologies associated with CF. Using primary intestinal organoids and air-liquid interface cultures of airway epithelia, we demonstrate that the F508del mutation in ferret CFTR results in a severe folding and trafficking defect, which can be partially restored by treatment with CFTR modulators. In utero treatment of pregnant jills with ivacaftor/lumacaftor prevented meconium ileus at birth in F508del kits and sustained postnatal treatment of CF offspring improved survival and partially protected from pancreatic insufficiency. Withdrawal of ivacaftor/lumacaftor treatment from juvenile CF ferrets reestablished pancreatic and lung diseases, with altered pulmonary mechanics. These findings suggest that in utero intervention with a combination of CFTR modulators may provide therapeutic benefits to individuals with F508del. This CFTR-F508del ferret model may be useful for testing therapies using clinically translatable endpoints.

BACKGROUND: The modified complete mesocolic excision (mCME) procedure for right-sided colon cancer is a tailored approach based on the original complete mesocolic excision (CME) methodology. Limited studies evaluated the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic mCME using objective surgical quality assessments in patients with right colon cancer. The objectives of the PIONEER study were to evaluate oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic mCME and to identify optimal clinically relevant endpoints and values for standardizing laparoscopic right colon cancer surgery based on short-term outcomes of procedures performed by expert laparoscopic surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an ongoing prospective, multi-institutional, single-arm study conducted at five tertiary colorectal cancer centers in South Korea. Study registrants included 250 patients scheduled for laparoscopic mCME with right-sided colon adenocarcinoma (from the appendix to the proximal half of the transverse colon). The primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival. Secondary outcomes included 3-year overall survival, incidence of morbidity in the first 4 weeks postoperatively, completeness of mCME, central radicality, and distribution of metastatic lymph nodes. Survival data will be available after the final follow-up date (June 2024). RESULTS: The postoperative complication rate was 12.9%, with a major complication rate of 2.7%. In 87% of patients, central radicality was achieved with dissection at or beyond the level of complete exposure of the superior mesenteric vein. Mesocolic plane resection with an intact mesocolon was achieved in 75.9% of patients, as assessed through photographs. Metastatic lymph node distribution varied by tumor location and extent. Seven optimal clinically relevant endpoints and values were identified based on the analysis of complications in low-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic mCME for right-sided colon cancer produced favorable short-term postoperative outcomes. The identified optimal clinically relevant endpoints and values can serve as a reference for evaluating surgical performance of this procedure.

BACKGROUND: Patients with rectal cancer who underwent lateral pelvic node dissection might be at a higher risk of postoperative complications derived from technical complexity. However, little is known regarding the long-term complications after lateral pelvic node dissection. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to investigate the long-term complications of preoperative chemoradiotherapy, followed by total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection for locally advanced rectal cancers. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database. SETTINGS: This study was conducted in a tertiary cancer center. PATIENTS: Patients with rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection after preoperative chemoradiotherapy between 2011 and 2019 were analyzed. All operations were performed via a laparoscopic or robotic approach. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Long-term complications were defined as adverse events that persisted or newly appeared ≥90 days after surgery and could be related to the surgery. RESULTS: A total of 164 patients underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection after preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Short-term and long-term complication rates were 36.0% and 36.6%, respectively. Lymphocele was the most common long-term complication (17.7% of patients), and 11.6% had anastomotic leakage with chronic sinus. Of the patients with long-term complications, 20.7% of patients needed readmission for treatment. Of the 29 patients with lymphocele, 13 (41.0%) experienced spontaneous absorption and 11 (37.9%) required surgical or percutaneous catheter drainage or antibiotics use. Multivariate analysis showed pathologic pelvic node metastases ( p = 0.008), and a higher number of unilateral harvested pelvic nodes ( p = 0.001) were significantly associated with long-term complications. At the last follow-up (median duration of 43 months), 15.9% of patients had unresolved complications. LIMITATIONS: The retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing lateral pelvic node dissection experienced a higher frequency of long-term complications, but half of them had asymptomatic lymphoceles, most of which resolved spontaneously. However, further efforts should be paid to reduce anticipated complications related to lateral pelvic node dissection. See Video Abstract . COMPLICACIONES A LARGO PLAZO DE LA DISECCIN DE LOS GANGLIOS LIFTICOS PLVICOS LATERALES LAPAROSCPICA O ROBTICA DESPUS DE LA QUIMIORRADIOTERAPIA PREOPERATORIA CONTRA EL CNCER DEL RECTO LOCALMENTE AVANZADO: ANTECEDENTES:Los pacientes con cáncer del recto sometidos a disección ganglionar linfática pélvica lateral podrían tener mayor riesgo de complicaciones postoperatorias derivadas de la complejidad técnica. Sin embargo, se sabe poco sobre las complicaciones a largo plazo después de la disección de los ganglios linfáticos pélvicos laterales.OBJETIVOS:Investigar las complicaciones a largo plazo de la quimiorradioterapia preoperatoria, seguida de escisión mesorrectal total con disección de los ganglios linfáticos pélvicos laterales contra el cáncer de recto localmente avanzado.DISEÑO:Un análisis retrospectivo de una base de datos recopilada prospectivamente.AJUSTES:Este estudio se llevó a cabo en un centro oncológico terciario.PACIENTES:Se analizaron pacientes con cáncer de recto que se sometieron a escisión mesorrectal total con disección de ganglios linfáticos pélvicos laterales después de quimiorradioterapia preoperatoria entre 2011 y 2019. Todas las operaciones se realizaron mediante abordaje laparoscópico o robótico.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Las complicaciones a largo plazo se definieron como eventos adversos que persistieron o aparecieron recientemente ≥ 90 días después de la cirugía y podrían estar relacionados con la cirugía.RESULTADOS:Un total de 164 pacientes se sometieron a escisión mesorrectal total con disección de los ganglios linfáticos pélvicos laterales después de quimiorradioterapia preoperatoria. Las tasas de complicaciones a corto y largo plazo fueron del 36,0% y 36,6%, respectivamente. El linfocele fue la complicación a largo plazo más común (17,7% de los pacientes) y el 11,6% tuvo fuga anastomótica con seno crónico. De los pacientes con complicaciones a largo plazo, el 20,7% de los pacientes necesitaron reingreso para recibir tratamiento. De 29 pacientes con linfocele, 13 (41,0%) experimentaron absorción espontánea y 11 (37,9%) requirieron drenaje quirúrgico o percutáneo con catéter o uso de antibióticos. El análisis multivariado mostró metástasis patológicas en los ganglios linfáticos pélvicos ( p = 0,008) y un mayor número de ganglios pélvicos extraídos unilateralmente ( p = 0,001) se asociaron significativamente con complicaciones a largo plazo. En el último seguimiento (mediana de 43 meses), el 15,9% de los pacientes tuvieron complicaciones no resueltas.LIMITACIÓN:El diseño retrospectivo.CONCLUSIONES:Los pacientes sometidos a disección de ganglios pélvicos linfáticos laterales experimentaron una mayor frecuencia de complicaciones a largo plazo, pero la mitad de ellos tuvieron linfoceles asintomáticos, la mayoría de los cuales se resolvieron espontáneamente. Sin embargo, se deben realizar mayores esfuerzos para reducir las complicaciones previstas relacionadas con la disección de los ganglios linfáticos pélvicos laterales.

BACKGROUND: Whether lateral pelvic node metastasis should be considered as a regional or systemic disease is a long-standing debate. Although previous Japanese studies have considered it to be locoregional disease, Western countries consider it a systemic disease and do not perform lateral pelvic node dissection after preoperative chemoradiotherapy. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether lateral pelvic node metastasis is a systemic or regional disease that is amenable to curative resection. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database. SETTING: This study was conducted at a tertiary cancer center. PATIENTS: There were 616 consecutive patients who underwent curative total mesorectal excision alone or with lateral pelvic node dissection after preoperative chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer between 2011 and 2019. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Three-year disease-free and overall survival. RESULTS: A total of 360 patients underwent total mesorectal excision, and 160 patients underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection. There was no difference in the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS; p = 0.844) or overall survival rates ( p = 0.921) between the groups. Patients with lateral pelvic node metastasis showed DFS similar to those with perirectal lymph node metastasis in the total mesorectal excision group. In a subgroup analysis, patients with internal iliac pelvic node metastasis showed a disease-free survival comparable to those with perirectal node involvement, and patients with other lateral pelvic node metastasis showed a DFS similar to those with intermediate node involvement. In the lateral pelvic node dissection group, the lateral pelvic node metastatic rate was 32.5%. On multivariate analysis, fewer than 8 of the unilateral harvested lateral pelvic nodes and advanced ypT stage were significantly associated with poor disease-free survival. LIMITATION: The retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS: Lateral lymphatic metastasis showed oncologic outcomes similar to those of upward spread, especially perirectal lymph nodes metastasis. Large cohort studies with long-term follow-up are required to confirm these results. See Video Abstract . LAS METSTASIS LINFTICAS SECUENCIALES LATERALES MUESTRAN RESULTADOS ONCOLGICOS SIMILARES EN LA PROPAGACIN ASCENDENTE DEL CNCER RECTAL AVANZADO DESPUS DE LA RADIOQUIMIOTERAPIA PREOPERATORIA: ANTECEDENTES:Es un debate muy antiguo si las metástasis en los ganglios pélvicos laterales deben considerarse una enfermedad regional o sistémica. Si bien estudios japoneses anteriores las consideran como una enfermedad locorregional, en los países de occidente se las considera como una enfermedad sistémica por la cual no se realiza disección de ganglios pélvicos laterales después de una radioquimioterapia preoperatoria.OBJETIVOS:Evaluar si la metástasis en los ganglios pélvicos laterales se consideran como enfermedad sistémica o enfermedad regional susceptible de resección curativa.DISEÑO:Análisis retrospectivo de una base de datos recopilada prospectivamente.AJUSTE:Este estudio se realizó en un centro oncológico terciario.PACIENTES:616 pacientes consecutivos se sometieron a excisión total del mesorrecto curativa sola o con disección de los ganglios pélvicos laterales después de radioquimioterapia preoperatoria en casos de cáncer de recto localmente avanzado entre 2011 y 2019.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Sobrevida global y libre de enfermedad a 3 años.RESULTADOS:Un total de 360 pacientes se sometieron a excisión total del mesorrecto y 160 pacientes se sometieron a excisión total del mesorrecto con disección de ganglios pélvicos laterales.No hubo diferencias en la sobrevida libre de enfermedad a 3 años (p = 0,844) ni en las tasas de sobrevida general (p = 0,921) entre los grupos. Los pacientes con metástasis en los ganglios pélvicos laterales mostraron una sobrevida libre de enfermedad similar a aquellos con metástasis en los ganglios linfáticos perirrectales que se encontraban en el grupo de excisión total del mesorrecto.En el análisis de subgrupos, los pacientes con metástasis en los ganglios pélvicos ilíacos internos mostraron una sobrevida libre de enfermedad comparable a aquellos con afección de los ganglios perirrectales y los pacientes con otras metástasis en los ganglios pélvicos laterales mostraron una sobrevida libre de enfermedad similar a aquellos con afección de los ganglios intermedios.En el grupo de disección de los ganglios pélvicos laterales, la tasa de metástasis en dichos ganglios fué del 32,5%. En el análisis multivariado, < de 8 ganglios pélvicos laterales resecados unilateralmente y el estadio ypT avanzado se asociaron significativamente con una menor sobrevida libre de enfermedad.LIMITACIÓN:El diseño retrospectivo del estudio.CONCLUSIONES:Las metástasis linfáticas laterales mostraron resultados oncológicos similares a la diseminación ascendente, especialmente las metástasis en los ganglios linfáticos perirrectales. Se requieren grandes estudios de cohortes con seguimiento a largo plazo para confirmar estos resultados. (Traducción-Dr. Xavier Delgadillo ).

BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether the da Vinci single-port system performs similarly to the previous multi-port system during complicated procedures, such as rectal cancer surgery. Therefore, we compared the short-term clinical outcomes of single-port and multi-port robotic total mesorectal excision for the treatment of rectal cancer. METHODS: This retrospective study reviewed 128 patients who underwent robotic total mesorectal excision between July 2020 and June 2022, of whom 84 (42 each: single-port versus multi-port) were included in the propensity score-matched cohort. Perioperative and pathologic outcomes were compared between groups. RESULTS: Median tumor height was similar between groups (single-port versus multi-port, 5.9 ± 2.1 vs 5.6 ± 1.8 cm, P = .719). Preoperative chemoradiotherapy was performed equally. The total operative time was less (160.0 ± 42.2 minutes vs 199.6 ± 78.6 minutes, P = .005), the total length of incision was shorter (4.0 ±0.3 vs 5.4 ± 0.7 cm, P = .003), postoperative hospital stay was shorter (6.2 ±1.7 vs 7.2 ±2.8 days, P = .050), and C-reactive protein levels on postoperative day 3 trended to be lower (7.3 ± 4.7 vs 8.9 ± 5.6 mg/L, P = .096) in the single-port group, compared with the multi-port group. Postoperative complications did not differ between groups (single-port versus multi-port, 11.9% vs 16.6%, P = .864). Anastomotic leakage occurred in 1 and 2 patients in the single-port and multi-port groups, respectively. The circumferential resection margins were positive in 1 patient in the multi-port group. CONCLUSION: The perioperative outcomes of single-port robotic total mesorectal excision were comparable to those of multi-port robotic TME. The single-port robot can be considered a surgical option for treating rectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Preoperative (chemo)radiotherapy has been widely used as an effective treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), leading to a significant reduction in pelvic recurrence rates. Because early administration of intensive chemotherapy for LARC has more advantages than adjuvant chemotherapy, total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has been introduced and evaluated to determine whether it can improve tumor response or treatment outcomes. This study aims to investigate whether short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) followed by intensive chemotherapy improves oncologic outcomes compared with traditional preoperative long-course chemoradiotherapy (CRT). METHODS: A multicenter randomized phase II trial involving 364 patients with LARC (cT3-4, cN+, or presence of extramural vascular invasion) will be conducted. Patients will be randomly assigned to the experimental or control arm at a ratio of 1:1. Participants in the experimental arm will receive SCRT (25 Gy in 5 fractions, daily) followed by four cycles of FOLFOX (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and folinic acid) as a neoadjuvant treatment, and those in the control arm will receive conventional radiotherapy (45-50.4 Gy in 25-28 fractions, 5 times a week) concurrently with capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil. As a mandatory surgical procedure, total mesorectal excision will be performed 2-5 weeks from the last cycle of chemotherapy in the experimental arm and 6-8 weeks after the last day of radiotherapy in the control arm. The primary endpoint is 3-year disease-free survival, and the secondary endpoints are tumor response, overall survival, toxicities, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. DISCUSSION: This is the first Korean randomized controlled study comparing SCRT-based TNT with traditional preoperative LC-CRT for LARC. The involvement of experienced colorectal surgeons ensures high-quality surgical resection. SCRT followed by FOLFOX chemotherapy is expected to improve disease-free survival compared with CRT, with potential advantages in tumor response, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial is registered at Clinical Research Information under the identifier Service KCT0004874 on April 02, 2020, and at Clinicaltrial.gov under the identifier NCT05673772 on January 06, 2023.

IMPORTANCE: The essential steps of successful gene delivery by recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) include vector internalization, intracellular trafficking, nuclear import, uncoating, double-stranded (ds)DNA conversion, and transgene expression. rAAV2.5T has a chimeric capsid of AAV2 VP1u and AAV5 VP2 and VP3 with the mutation A581T. Our investigation revealed that KIAA0319L, the multiple AAV serotype receptor, is not essential for vector internalization but remains critical for efficient vector transduction to human airway epithelia. Additionally, we identified that a novel gene WDR63, whose cellular function is not well understood, plays an important role in vector transduction of human airway epithelia but not vector internalization and nuclear entry. Our study also discovered the substantial transduction potential of rAAV2.5T in basal stem cells of human airway epithelia, underscoring its utility in gene editing of human airways. Thus, the knowledge derived from this study holds promise for the advancement of gene therapy in the treatment of pulmonary genetic diseases.

Recombinant (r)AAV2.5T was selected from the directed evolution of an AAV capsid library in human airway epithelium (HAE). The capsid gene of rAAV2.5T is a chimera of the N-terminal unique coding sequence of AAV2 VP1 unique (VP1u) and the VP2- and VP3-coding sequence of AAV5 with a single amino acid mutation of A581T. We conducted two rounds of genome wide CRISPR gRNA library screening for host factors limiting rAAV2.5T transduction in HeLa S3 cells. The screen identified several genes that are critical for rAAV2.5T transduction in HeLa S3 cells, including previously reported genes KIAA0319L , TM9SF2 , VPS51 , and VPS54 , as well as a novel gene WDR63 . We verified the role of KIAA0319L and WDR63 in rAAV2.5T transduction of polarized HAE by utilizing CRISPR gene knockouts. Although KIAA0319L, a proteinaceous receptor for multiple AAV serotypes, played an essential role in rAAV2.5T transduction of polarized HAE either from apical or basolateral side, our findings demonstrated that the internalization of rAAV2.5T was independent of KIAA0319L. Importantly, we confirmed WDR63 is an important player in rAAV2.5T transduction of HAE, while not being involved in vector internalization and nuclear entry. Furthermore, we identified that the basal stem cells of HAE can be significantly transduced by rAAV2.5T. Significance: The essential steps of a successful gene delivery by rAAV include vector internalization, intracellular trafficking, nuclear import, uncoating, double-stranded (ds)DNA conversion, and transgene expression. rAAV2.5T has a chimeric capsid of AAV2 VP1u and AAV5 VP2 and VP3 with the mutation A581T. Our investigation revealed that KIAA0319L, the multiple AAV serotype receptor, is not essential for vector internalization but remains critical for efficient vector transduction to human airway epithelia. Additionally, we identified that a novel gene WDR63 , whose cellular function is not well understood, plays an important role in vector transduction of human airway epithelia but not vector internalization and nuclear entry. Our study also discovered the substantial transduction potential of rAAV2.5T in basal stem cells of human airway epithelia, underscoring its utility in gene editing of human airways. Thus, the knowledge derived from this study holds promise for the advancement of gene therapy in the treatment of pulmonary genetic diseases.
RESUMEN
Purpose: The da Vinci single-port (SP) system has been used in various surgical fields, including colorectal surgery. However, limited experience has been reported on its safety and feasibility. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of SP robotic surgery for the treatment of rectal cancer compared with multiport (MP) robotic surgery. Methods: Rectal cancer patients who underwent curative resection in 2020 were reviewed. A total of 43 patients underwent robotic total mesorectal excision (TME), of which 26 (13 in each group, SPTME vs. MPTME) were included in the case-matched cohort for analysis. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes and pathological results were compared between the 2 groups. Results: Median tumor height was similar between the 2 groups (SPTME vs. MPTME: 5.9 cm [range, 2.2-9.6 cm] vs. 6.7 cm [range, 3.4-10.0 cm], P = 0.578). Preoperative chemoradiotherapy was equally performed (38.5%). The median estimated blood loss was less (20.0 mL [range, 5.0-20.0 mL] vs. 30.0 mL [range, 20.0-30.0 mL], P = 0.020) and the median hospital stay was shorter (7 days [range, 6-8 days] vs. 8 days [range, 7-9 days], P = 0.055) in the SPTME group. Postoperative complications did not differ (SPTME vs. MPTME: 7.7% vs. 23.1%, P = 0.587). One patient in the SPTME group and 3 in the MPTME group experienced anastomotic leakage. Conclusion: SP robotic TME showed perioperative outcomes similar to MP robotic TME. The SP robotic system can be considered a surgical option for the treatment of rectal cancer. Further prospective randomized trials with larger cohorts are required.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Evidence is lacking regarding the earliest timing of initiating adjuvant chemotherapy to maximize its efficacy safely. A trial was designed and conducted to evaluate the safety and oncological efficacy of early adjuvant chemotherapy compared with conventional adjuvant chemotherapy. The short-term outcomes are reported here. METHODS: A multicentre, randomized (1 : 1), open-label, phase III trial was conducted comparing early adjuvant chemotherapy with conventional adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage III colon cancer. Patients who underwent radical surgery who had stage III colon cancer confirmed by histopathological assessment were screened and randomized into the early adjuvant chemotherapy arm or the conventional adjuvant chemotherapy arm. The primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival. The adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX was delivered between postoperative day 10 and 14 in the early adjuvant chemotherapy arm, and between postoperative day 24 and 28 in the conventional adjuvant chemotherapy arm. Toxicity and quality of life were evaluated. RESULTS: Between 9 September 2011 and 6 March 2020, 443 patients consented to randomization at eight sites. The intention-to-treat population included 423 patients (209 in the early adjuvant chemotherapy arm and 214 in the conventional adjuvant chemotherapy arm), and the safety population included 380 patients (192 in the early adjuvant chemotherapy arm and 188 in the conventional adjuvant chemotherapy arm). There was no statistically significant difference in overall toxicity (28.1 per cent in the early adjuvant chemotherapy arm and 28.2 per cent in the conventional adjuvant chemotherapy arm, P = 0.244), surgical complications, and quality of life between the two arms. CONCLUSION: Adjuvant chemotherapy can be safely initiated 2 weeks after surgery with toxicity and quality of life comparable to conventional adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer.

BACKGROUND: The da Vinci Single-port (SP) system is designed to facilitate single-incision robotic surgery in a narrow space. We developed a new procedure of intersphincteric resection (ISR) using the SP platform and evaluated the technical safety and feasibility of this procedure for the treatment of very low rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven rectal cancer patients who underwent SP robotic ISR between August 2020 and July 2021 were included. Patients' clinical characteristics, operative and pathologic findings of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The median tumor height was 3 cm (range, 2-4 cm). A single docking was performed, and the median docking time was 3 min 10 sec (range, 2 min 50 sec-3 min 30 sec). The median total operation time was 210 min (range, 150-280 min), and the median time of pelvic dissection was 57 min (range, 45-68 min). All patients presented with negative distal resection margins [median 1 cm (range, 0.5-2.0 cm)], and only one patient had less than 1mm of circumferential resection margin (0.9 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Our initial experience suggests that SP robotic ISR is safe and feasible.

BACKGROUND: The lateral pelvic sidewall is a major site of local recurrence after radical resection of rectal cancer. Salvage lateral pelvic node dissection (LPND) may be the only way to eliminate recurrent lateral pelvic nodes (LPNs). This study aimed to describe the technical details of robotic and laparoscopic salvage LPND and assess the short-term clinical and oncological outcomes in patients with recurrent LPNs who underwent salvage LPND by a minimally invasive approach for curative intent. METHODS: Between September 2010 and 2019, 36 patients who underwent salvage surgery for LPN recurrence were retrospectively analyzed from a prospectively maintained database. Patients' characteristics, index operation, MRI findings, and perioperative and pathological outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Eleven and 14 patients underwent robotic and laparoscopic salvage LPND, respectively. Eight patients (32.0%) underwent a combined salvage operation for resectable extra-pelvic sidewall metastases. There were four cases of open-conversion during the laparoscopic approach due to uncontrolled bleeding of iliac vessels. In these patients, metastatic LPNs were suspected of iliac vessel invasion and were found to be larger in size (median 15 mm; range 12-20) than that in patients who underwent successful LPND using the minimally invasive approach (median 10 mm; range 5-20). The median number of metastatic LPNs and harvested LPNs was 1 (range 0-3) and 6 (range 1-16), respectively. Six patients (24.0%) experienced postoperative complications including lymphoceles and voiding difficulties. During the follow-up (median 44.6 months; range 24.0-87.7), eight patients developed recurrences, mainly the lung and para-aortic lymph nodes, and one patient developed pelvic sidewall recurrence after laparoscopic salvage LPND. The 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival after salvage LPND were 66.4% and 79.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Robotic and laparoscopic salvage LPND for recurrent LPNs are safe and feasible with favorable short-term surgical outcomes. However, the surgical approach should be carefully chosen in patients with large-sized and invasive recurrent LPNs.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery has become popular as a surgical approach for colorectal cancer because it has fewer complications related to the abdominal incision and perioperative complications. However, the incidence of incisional hernias in laparoscopic surgery has been reported to be similar to that in open surgery. We developed a new method, the non-muscle-cutting periumbilical transverse incision, for a small incision in laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the non-muscle-cutting periumbilical transverse incision in comparison with the midline incision in reducing the incidence of an incisional hernia in patients undergoing laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. METHODS: This is an open-label, multi-centre, parallel, superiority, and randomised trial. Altogether, 174 patients will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the midline incision or the non-muscle-cutting periumbilical transverse incision group, after stratifying by the location of the tumour (right- or left-sided). The primary outcome of this study is the incidence of incisional hernias (both symptomatic and radiologic hernias) at 12 months after surgery. The secondary outcomes include operative outcomes, 30-day postoperative complications, pathological results, and patient-reported outcomes (short form-12 health survey questionnaire and body image questionnaire). Both primary (intention-to-treat) and secondary (as-treated principles) analyses will be performed for all outcomes. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05 (two-sided testing). DISCUSSION: This trial may show that the non-muscle-cutting periumbilical transverse incision will reduce the incidence of incisional hernias compared to the midline incision.
