RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The duration of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is influenced by a multitude of factors. The aim of this study was to describe the factors influencing ERCP time and to create a tool for preintervention estimation of ERCP time. METHODS: Data from 74 248 ERCPs performed from 2010 to 2019 were extracted from the Swedish National Quality Registry (GallRiks) to identify variables predictive for ERCP time using linear regression analyses and root mean squared error (RMSE) as a loss function. Ten variables were combined to create an estimation tool for ERCP duration. The tool was externally validated using 9472 ERCPs from 2020 to 2021. RESULTS: Mean (SD) ERCP time was 36.8 (25.3) minutes. Indications with the strongest influence on ERCP time were primary sclerosing cholangitis and chronic pancreatitis. Hilar and intrahepatic biliary strictures and interventions on the pancreatic duct were the anatomic features that most strongly affected ERCP time. The procedure steps with most influence were intraductal endoscopy, lithotripsy, dilation, and papillectomy. Based on these results, we built and validated the SW: edish E: stimation of E: RCP T: ime (SWEET) tool, which is based on a 10-factor scoring system (e.g. 5 minutes for bile duct cannulation and 15 minutes for pancreatic duct cannulation) and predicted ERCP time with an average difference between actual and predicted duration of 17.5 minutes during external validation. CONCLUSIONS: Based on new insights into the factors affecting ERCP time, we created the SWEET tool, the first specific tool for preintervention estimation of ERCP time, which is easy-to-apply in everyday clinical practice, to guide efficient ERCP scheduling.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma located in the pancreatic body might require a portomesenteric venous resection (PVR), but data regarding surgical risks after distal pancreatectomy (DP) with PVR are sparse. Insight into additional surgical risks of DP-PVR could support preoperative counseling and intraoperative decision making. This study aimed to provide insight into the surgical outcome of DP-PVR, including its potential risk elevation over standard DP. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including all patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who underwent DP ± PVR (2018-2020), registered in four audits for pancreatic surgery from North America, Germany, Sweden, and The Netherlands. Patients who underwent concomitant arterial and/or multivisceral resection(s) were excluded. Predictors for in-hospital/30-day major morbidity and mortality were investigated by logistic regression, correcting for each audit. RESULTS: Overall, 2924 patients after DP were included, of whom 241 patients (8.2%) underwent DP-PVR. Rates of major morbidity (24% vs. 18%; p = 0.024) and post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage grade B/C (10% vs. 3%; p = 0.041) were higher after DP-PVR compared with standard DP. Mortality after DP-PVR and standard DP did not differ significantly (2% vs. 1%; p = 0.542). Predictors for major morbidity were PVR (odds ratio [OR] 1.500, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.086-2.071) and conversion from minimally invasive to open surgery (OR 1.420, 95% CI 1.032-1.970). Predictors for mortality were higher age (OR 1.087, 95% CI 1.045-1.132), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 4.167, 95% CI 1.852-9.374), and conversion from minimally invasive to open surgery (OR 2.919, 95% CI 1.197-7.118), whereas concomitant PVR was not associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS: PVR during DP for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the pancreatic body is associated with increased morbidity, but can be performed safely in terms of mortality.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cancer arising in the periampullary region can be anatomically classified in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA), duodenal adenocarcinoma (DAC), and ampullary carcinoma. Based on histopathology, ampullary carcinoma is currently subdivided in intestinal (AmpIT), pancreatobiliary (AmpPB), and mixed subtypes. Despite close anatomical resemblance, it is unclear how ampullary subtypes relate to the remaining periampullary cancers in tumor characteristics and behavior. METHODS: This international cohort study included patients after curative intent resection for periampullary cancer retrieved from 44 centers (from Europe, United States, Asia, Australia, and Canada) between 2010 and 2021. Preoperative CA19-9, pathology outcomes and 8-year overall survival were compared between DAC, AmpIT, AmpPB, dCCA, and PDAC. RESULTS: Overall, 3809 patients were analyzed, including 348 DAC, 774 AmpIT, 848 AmpPB, 1,036 dCCA, and 803 PDAC. The highest 8-year overall survival was found in patients with AmpIT and DAC (49.8% and 47.9%), followed by AmpPB (34.9%, P < 0.001), dCCA (26.4%, P = 0.020), and finally PDAC (12.9%, P < 0.001). A better survival was correlated with lower CA19-9 levels but not with tumor size, as DAC lesions showed the largest size. CONCLUSIONS: Despite close anatomic relations of the five periampullary cancers, this study revealed differences in preoperative blood markers, pathology, and long-term survival. More tumor characteristics are shared between DAC and AmpIT and between AmpPB and dCCA than between the two ampullary subtypes. Instead of using collective definitions for "periampullary cancers" or anatomical classification, this study emphasizes the importance of individual evaluation of each histopathological subtype with the ampullary subtypes as individual entities in future studies.

BACKGROUND: Despite differences in tumour behaviour and characteristics between duodenal adenocarcinoma (DAC), the intestinal (AmpIT) and pancreatobiliary (AmpPB) subtype of ampullary adenocarcinoma and distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA), the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on these cancers, as well as the optimal ACT regimen, has not been comprehensively assessed. This study aims to assess the influence of tailored ACT on DAC, dCCA, AmpIT, and AmpPB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients after pancreatoduodenectomy for non-pancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma were identified and collected from 36 tertiary centres between 2010 - 2021. Per non-pancreatic periampullary tumour type, the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy and the main relevant regimens of adjuvant chemotherapy were compared. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). RESULTS: The study included a total of 2866 patients with DAC (n = 330), AmpIT (n = 765), AmpPB (n = 819), and dCCA (n = 952). Among them, 1329 received ACT, and 1537 did not. ACT was associated with significant improvement in OS for AmpPB (P = 0.004) and dCCA (P < 0.001). Moreover, for patients with dCCA, capecitabine mono ACT provided the greatest OS benefit compared to gemcitabine (P = 0.004) and gemcitabine - cisplatin (P = 0.001). For patients with AmpPB, no superior ACT regime was found (P > 0.226). ACT was not associated with improved OS for DAC and AmpIT (P = 0.113 and P = 0.445, respectively). DISCUSSION: Patients with resected AmpPB and dCCA appear to benefit from ACT. While the optimal ACT for AmpPB remains undetermined, it appears that dCCA shows the most favourable response to capecitabine monotherapy. Tailored adjuvant treatments are essential for enhancing prognosis across all four non-pancreatic periampullary adenocarcinomas.

In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the infiltration of CD8+ T cells within the tumor microenvironment correlates with a favorable prognosis. However, a significant proportion of tumor-infiltrating T cells become trapped within the desmoplastic stroma and lack tumor reactivity. Here, we explored different T-cell subsets in pancreatic tumors and adjacent tissues. We identified a subset of CD8+ T cells, double positive (DP) for CD39 and CD103 in pancreatic tumors, which has recently been described to display tumor reactivity in other types of solid tumors. Interestingly, DP CD8+ T cells preferentially accumulated in central tumor tissues compared with paired peripheral tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues. Consistent with an antigen encounter, DP CD8+ T cells demonstrated higher proliferative rates and displayed an exhausted phenotype, characterized by elevated expression of PD-1 and TIM-3, compared with CD39-CD103- CD8+ T cells. In addition, DP CD8+ T cells exhibited higher expression levels of the tissue trafficking receptors CCR5 and CXCR6, while displaying lower levels of CXCR3 and CXCR4. Importantly, a high proportion of DP CD8+ T cells is associated with increased patient survival. These findings suggest that DP CD8+ T cells with a phenotype reminiscent of that of tumor-reactive T cells are present in pancreatic tumors. The abundance of DP CD8+ T cells could potentially aid in selecting patients for pancreatic cancer immunotherapy trials. SIGNIFICANCE: Patients with pancreatic cancer with a high proportion of CD39+CD103+ CD8+ T cells exhibiting a tumor-reactive phenotype have improved survival rates, suggesting their potential utility in selecting candidates for immunotherapy trials.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this international multicentric study is to characterize postoperative hyperamylasemia (POH) after distal pancreatectomy (DP), with particular focus on its relationship with postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurrence and severity. BACKGROUND: The clinical relevance of POH after DP and its relationship with the occurrence and severity of POPF have not been explored yet. METHODS: All patients undergoing DP for any indication between 2015 and 2021 at three European referral Centers for pancreatic surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Drain fluid amylase (DFA), C-reactive protein (C-RP), and serum amylase were examined from postoperative-day (POD) 1 to 3. Biochemical leak (BL), POPF, POH, and post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) were defined and graded according to ISGPS definitions. RESULTS: In total 1192 patients were included. Overall rates of POH and POPF were 18% (n= 210) and 29% (n= 344), respectively. The presence of DFA ≥2000 U/L on POD 1 (OR=2.11, 95% CI 1.68-2.86), C-RP ≥200 mg/L on POD 3 (OR=2.19, 95% CI 1.68-2.86), and POH (OR=1.58, 95% CI 1.14-2.19) were all independent early predictors of POPF (all P< 0.01). The presence of POH almost doubled the rate of POPF (43% vs. 26%, P<0.001), and higher POPF severity presented also higher POH rates (no POPF= 12%; BL= 19%; B POPF= 24%; C POPF= 52%). Among patients developing POPF, patients with POH had higher rates of PPH (22% vs 9%, P= 0.001), sepsis (24% vs 13%; P=0.011), re-operation (21% vs 8%; P< 0.01), and mortality (3% vs 0.3%; P= 0.025). CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of POH is an early predictor of POPF and its severity after DP. The diagnosis of POH might define patients at higher risk for a complicated course, targeting them for prevention / mitigation strategies against pancreas specific complications.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Clinically relevant (CR) postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP) are common. Endoscopic treatment (ET) has only scarcely been explored. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for CR POPF after DP and the efficacy of ET in adjunct to standard therapy. METHODS: Consecutive patients without previous pancreatic surgery who underwent DP between 2011 and 2020 were evaluated, analyzing risk factors for CR POPF. The choice and performance of ET, main pancreatic duct (MPD) stenting, was not standardized. Healing time and complications after ET were registered. RESULTS: 406 patients underwent DP, CR POPF occurred in 29.6%. ET was performed in 17 patients 27 days (median) after index surgery. Risk for CR POPF was increased in ASA-PS 1-2 patients, MPD ≤ 3 mm, procedure time ≥ 3 h, and CRP ≥ 180 on postoperative day 3. POPF resolved with standard treatment after 32 days and 59 days in the ET group (p < 0.001). There was one mortality in the ET-group (not procedure related). Mild post-ERCP pancreatitis occurred in three patients. CONCLUSIONS: CR POPF is common after DP. Long operating time, a narrow MPD, low ASA score, and high postoperative CRP were risk factors for CR POPF. ET was not beneficial but proper evaluation was not possible due to few patients and non-standardized treatment. Complications after ET appeared mild.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic pancreatitis may cause intractable abdominal pain, with total pancreatectomy sometimes being the last resort. To mitigate the subsequent diabetes, total pancreatectomy can be followed by islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT). The primary aim of this study was to assess the outcomes in patients undergoing TP-IAT at Karolinska University Hospital with respect to safety, postoperative complications, and islet graft function. A secondary aim was to compare liver to skeletal muscle as autotransplantation sites. METHODS: Single-center observational cohort study on patients undergoing TP-IAT. Islets were transplanted either into the liver or skeletal muscle. Data on baseline characteristics and pretransplantory conditions were collected. Outcome measures included mortality and major postoperative complications as well as the glycemic measures: insulin use, fasting C-peptide, and HbA1c. RESULTS: Between 2004 and 2020, 24 patients underwent TP-IAT. Islets were transplanted into the liver in 9 patients and into skeletal muscle in 15 patients. There was no 90-day mortality, and major complications (Clavien-Dindo ⩾IIIa) occurred in 26.7%, all related to the procedure of total pancreatectomy. Fasting C-peptide could be detected postoperatively, with higher levels in patients receiving islet autotransplantation into the liver (p = 0.006). Insulin independence was not achieved, although insulin doses at last follow-up were significantly lower in patients receiving islet autotransplantation into the liver compared to skeletal muscle (p = 0.036). CONCLUSION: TP-IAT is safe and associated with tolerable risk, the component of islet autotransplantation being seemingly harmless. Although islet grafts maintain some endocrine function, insulin independence should not be expected. Regarding islet autotransplantation sites, the liver seems superior to skeletal muscle. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not applicable.

BACKGROUND: Arterial lactate measurements were recently suggested as an early predictor of clinically relevant post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). This needed to be evaluated in the subgroup of major hepatectomies only. METHOD: This observational cohort study included consecutive elective major hepatectomies at Karolinska University Hospital from 2010 to 2018. Clinical risk factors for PHLF, perioperative arterial lactate measurements and routine lab values were included in uni- and multivariable regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristics and risk cut-offs were calculated. RESULTS: In total, 649 patients constituted the study cohort, of which 92 developed PHLF grade B/C according to the International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS). Lactate reached significantly higher intra- and postoperative levels in PHLF grades B and C compared to grade A or no liver failure (all P < 0.002). Lactate on postoperative day (POD) 1 was superior to earlier measurement time points in predicting PHLF B/C (AUC 0.75), but was outperformed by both clinical risk factors (AUC 0.81, P = 0.031) and bilirubin POD1 (AUC 0.83, P = 0.013). A multivariable logistic regression model including clinical risk factors and bilirubin POD1 had the highest AUC of 0.87 (P = 0.006), with 56.6% sensitivity and 94.7% specificity for PHLF grade B/C (cut-off ≥0.32). The model identified 46.7% of patients with 90-day mortality and had an equally good discriminatory potential for mortality as the established ISGLS criteria for PHLF grade B/C but could be applied already on POD1. CONCLUSION: The potential of lactate to predict PHLF following major hepatectomy was inferior to a prediction model consisting of clinical risk factors and bilirubin on first post-operative day.

INTRODUCTION: Lymph-nodal involvement (N+) represents an adverse prognostic factor after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Preoperative diagnostic and staging modalities lack sensitivity for identifying N+. This study aimed to investigate preoperative CA19.9 in predicting the N+ stage in resectable-PDAC (R-PDAC). METHODS: Patients included in a multi-institutional retrospective database of PDs performed for R-PDAC from January 2000 to June 2021 were analyzed. A preoperative laboratory value of CA19.9 >37 U/L was used in univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine a possible association with N+. Additionally, different cut-offs of CA19.9 related to the preoperative clinical T (cT) stage was assessed to evaluate the risk of N+. RESULTS: A total of 2034 PDs from thirteen centers were included in the study. CA19.9>37 U/L was significantly associated with higher N+ at univariate and multivariate analysis (P<0.001). CA19.9 levels >37 U/L were associated with N+ in 75.9%, 81.3%, and 85.7% of patients, respectively, in cT1, cT2, and cT3 tumors and with higher cut-off values for all cT stages. CONCLUSION: Lymph nodal involvement is strongly related to preoperative CA19.9 levels. Specially in patients staged as cT3 the CA 19.9 could represent a valid and easy tool to suspect nodal involvement. Due to these findings, R-PDAC patients with elevated CA19.9 values should be considered in a more biologically advanced stage.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease is a prevalent condition in surgical patients. Possible associations with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality have not been clearly demonstrated in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of postoperative complications in patients with reduced kidney function undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS: All patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy at Karolinska University Hospital between 2008 and 2019 were retrospectively included. The variable of interest was chronic kidney disease, based on preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate measurements. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed for standardized postoperative complications. RESULTS: A total of 971 patients were included in the study, of whom 92 (10%) had an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 , equivalent to chronic kidney disease Stage 3a or worse. Patients with chronic kidney disease had a higher odds of longer hospital stay (adjusted odds ratio 1.58, 95% confidence interval 1.00-2.50) and postoperative weight increase (adjusted odds ratio 2.02, 1.14-3.56). A 10 unit increase of preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate was associated to lower odds of intensive care unit admission (adjusted odds ratio 0.81, 0.69-0.95), delayed gastric emptying (adjusted odds ratio 0.90, 0.81-0.99), and post-operative pancreatic fistula (adjusted odds ratio 0.83, 0.74-0.94). CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy with decreased preoperative kidney function are more likely to experience major postoperative complications, and also postoperative weight increase. Preoperative kidney function assessment is important in risk stratification before pancreatoduodenectomies.

BACKGROUND: Gastric venous congestion (GVC) after total pancreatectomy (TP) is rarely studied despite its high 5% to 28% incidence and possible association with mortality. This study aimed to provide insight about incidence, risk factors, management, and outcome of GVC after TP. METHODS: This retrospective observational single-center study included all patients undergoing elective TP from 2008 to 2021. The exclusion criteria ruled out a history of gastric resection, concomitant (sub)total gastrectomy for oncologic indication(s) or celiac axis resection, and postoperative (sub)total gastrectomy for indication(s) other than GVC. RESULTS: The study enrolled 268 patients. The in-hospital major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥IIIa) rate was 28%, and the 90-day mortality rate was 3%. GVC was identified in 21% of patients, particularly occurring during index surgery (93%). Intraoperative GVC was managed with (sub)total gastrectomy for 55% of the patients. The major morbidity rate was higher for the patients with GVC (44% vs 24%; p = 0.003), whereas the 90-day mortality did not differ significantly (5% vs 3%; p = 0.406). The predictors for major morbidity were intraoperative GVC (odds ratio [OR], 2.207; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.142-4.268) and high TP volume (> 20 TPs/year: OR, 0.360; 95% CI, 0.175-0.738). The predictors for GVC were portomesenteric venous resection (PVR) (OR, 2.103; 95% CI, 1.034-4.278) and left coronary vein ligation (OR, 11.858; 95% CI, 5.772-24.362). CONCLUSIONS: After TP, GVC is rather common (in 1 of 5 patients). GVC during index surgery is predictive for major morbidity, although not translating into higher mortality. Left coronary vein ligation and PVR are predictive for GVC, requiring vigilance during and after surgery, although gastric resection is not always necessary. More evidence on prevention, identification, classification, and management of GVC is needed.

OBJECTIVE: Examine the potential benefit of total pancreatectomy (TP) as an alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients at high risk for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: TP is mentioned as an alternative to PD in patients at high risk for POPF, but a systematic review is lacking. METHODS: Systematic review and meta-analyses using Pubmed, Embase (Ovid), and Cochrane Library to identify studies published up to October 2022, comparing elective single-stage TP for any indication versus PD in patients at high risk for POPF. The primary endpoint was short-term mortality. Secondary endpoints were major morbidity (i.e., Clavien-Dindo grade ≥IIIa) on the short-term and quality of life. RESULTS: After screening 1212 unique records, five studies with 707 patients (334 TP and 373 high-risk PD) met the eligibility criteria, comprising one randomized controlled trial and four observational studies. The 90-day mortality after TP and PD did not differ (6.3% vs. 6.2%; RR=1.04 [95%CI 0.56-1.93]). Major morbidity rate was lower after TP compared to PD (26.7% vs. 38.3%; RR=0.65 [95%CI 0.48-0.89]), but no significance was seen in matched/randomized studies (29.0% vs. 36.9%; RR = 0.73 [95%CI 0.48-1.10]). Two studies investigated quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30) at a median of 30-52 months, demonstrating comparable global health status after TP and PD (77% [±15] vs. 76% [±20]; P =0.857). CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review and meta-analysis found no reduction in short-term mortality and major morbidity after TP as compared to PD in patients at high risk for POPF. However, if TP is used as a bail-out procedure, the comparable long-term quality of life is reassuring.

BACKGROUND: Pre-emptive resection for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) aims to reduce the risk before invasive transformation has taken place. Pancreatic resections are highly associated with major morbidity and mortality. Long-term overall survival (OS) after resection for invasive IPMN (inv-IPMN) in early stages is favorable. Comparison of long-term OS for resected non-invasive IPMN and early staged inv-IPMN is poorly delineated. This study aims to compare outcomes for resected non-invasive IPMN and T1-staged inv-IPMN. METHODS: All patients ≥18 years of age resected for IPMN up to stage T1 at Karolinska University Hospital between 2008 and 2020 were included. Two-year OS were compared between groups by chi-squared test, and 5-year OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Covariates associated with death was assessed in multivariable Cox regression model. RESULTS: We included 284 patients, 264 (93%) non-invasive IPMN and 20 (7%) T1-staged inv-IPMN. Dysplasia of low grade (LGD) and high grade, i.e., tumor in situ (Tis) were present in 190 (67%) and 75 (26%) patients respectively. The 2-year OS for the entire cohort was 96%, and there were no differences between non-invasive and inv-IPMN (96% vs 92%, p = 0.203), nor between IPMN with LGD and Tis-T1b-staged IPMN (96% vs 95%, p = 0.734). CONCLUSION: Two thirds of the specimen from pre-emptive resections were of LGD and did not involve superior OS than in situ or early cancer. Due to high complication burden, efforts should be made to avoid resection when LGD is probable and rather identify more accurate predictors for surgery.

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality after general surgery, although little is known among patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. The objective was to investigate the association between AKI and postoperative complications and death after pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS: All patients ≥18 years who underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy 2008-2019 at the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, were included. Standardized criteria for AKI, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine volume measurements, were used to grade postoperative AKI. RESULTS: In total, 970 patients were included with a median age of 68 years (IQR 61-74) of whom 517 (53.3%) were men. There were 137 (14.1%) patients who developed postoperative AKI. Risk factors for AKI included lower preoperative eGFR, cardiovascular disease and treatment with renin-angiotensin system inhibitors or diuretics. Those who developed AKI had a higher risk of severe postoperative complications, including Clavien-Dindo score ≥ IIIa (adjusted OR 3.35, 95% CI 2.24-5.01) and ICU admission (adjusted OR 7.83, 95% CI 4.39-13.99). In time-to-event analysis, AKI was associated with an increased risk for both 30-day mortality (adjusted HR 4.51, 95% CI 1.54-13.27) and 90-day mortality (adjusted HR 4.93, 95% CI 2.37-10.26). Patients with benign histology and AKI also had an increased 1-year mortality (HR 4.89, 95% CI 1.88-12.71). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative AKI was associated with major postoperative complications and an increased risk of postoperative mortality. Monitoring changes in serum creatinine levels and urine volume output could be important in the immediate perioperative period to improve outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy.

BACKGROUND: Presence of multiple hepatic lesions in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is included in staging as a negative prognostic factor, but both prognostic value and therapeutic implications remain debated. The aim of this study was to systematically review the prognostic influence of multiple lesions on survival after resection for iCCA, with stratification for distribution and number of lesions. METHODS: Medline and Embase were systematically searched to identify records (2010-2021) reporting survival for patients undergoing primary resection for iCCA. Included were original articles reporting overall survival, with data on multiple lesions including tumour distribution (satellites/other multiple lesions) and/or number. For meta-analysis, the random effects model and inverse variance method were used. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed. RESULTS: Thirty-one studies were included for review. For meta-analysis, nine studies reporting data on the prognostic influence of satellite lesions (2737 patients) and six studies reporting data on multiple lesions other than satellites (1589 patients) were included. Satellite lesions (hazard ratio 1.89, 95% confidence interval 1.67-2.13) and multiple lesions other than satellites (hazard ratio 2.41, 95% confidence interval 1.72-3.37) were significant negative prognostic factors. Data stratified for tumour number, while limited, indicated increased risk per additional lesion. CONCLUSION: Satellite lesions, as well as multiple lesions other than satellites, was a negative prognostic factor in resectable iCCA. Considering the prognostic impact, both tumour distribution and number of lesions should be evaluated together with other risk factors to allow risk stratification for iCCA patients with multiple lesions, rather than precluding resection for the entire patient group.
