RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To summarize and analyze the clinicopathological features and surgical management of patients with pathologic complete response (pCR) in the primary tumor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for rectal cancer, and to explore the rational treatment of this entity.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of fifty-two patients with locally advanced mid-low rectal cancer admitted to the Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1994 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. They were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and achieved pathological complete response in the primary tumor. The preoperative clinical staging were stage II (cT3~4N0) in 10 cases and stage III (cT3~4N+) in 42 cases. After the neoadjuvant therapy, 10 cases achieved clinical complete response (cCR) (19.2%).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Radical surgery was performed in 51 patients. Among them, five patients (9.8%) had pathological lymph node metastasis. One cCR patient underwent transanal local excision. The postoperative complication rate was 21.2%. During a median follow-up of 23.6 months, only one patient developed bone metastasis and another one had enlarged mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodes detected by imaging. All the patients were alive by the last follow-up. The 2-year disease-free survival rate was 96.2% and overall survival rate was 100%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Radical surgery remains the standard therapy for cCR patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Local excision and "wait and see" should be recommended with great caution and limited to patients who cannot tolerate or refuse radical surgery with a strong demanding for sphincter saving, or applied in clinical trials.</p>

Pancreatic carcinoma is one of the malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract with the most dismal prognosis.As a consequence of its anatomic and biological behavior,the 5-year survival is only 10%- 20% even after curative resection.There are many problems which need to be solved in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.This paper aims to discuss the preoperative assessment of resectability,histological diagnosis,radical surgery,multidisciplinary and multimodality treatment to help to raise the standard of diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in China.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of primary duodenal adenocarcinoma ( PDA). Methods Clinical data of 89 PDA cases undergoing laparotomy from 1985 to 2009 in three hospital in Beijing and Zhengzhou were analyzed retrospectively. Results The prevalence rate of PDA is comparatively low and its clinical manifestations are not specific. The correct diagnostic rate of auxiliary examination were 93% by endoscopy,90% by gastrointestinal X-ray air barium double radiography,82% by MRCP,42% by BUS,70% by CT/MRI. The most common location of the adenocarcinoma(65% ) was at the second portion of the duodenum. Among 67 PDA cases 48 cases underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, 19 cases received segmental deodenectomy. The 5 year's survival rate was 47% and 50% respectively. Conclusions Endoscope and X-ray radiography are mainstays for the diagnosis of PDA. Early diagnosis and radical operation are the key to improve the resection rate and the long term survival.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the suitable treatment of post operative anastomotic recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer and analyze the relationship between different kinds of therapy with prognosis. Methods The clinical data of 41 cases of local recurrent rectal cancer after anterior resection admitted in our hospital from 1999 to 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. The median survival time and survival rate were calculated by Life Tables method. The influence of different kinds of treatment to prognosis was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method and the variability was analyzed by Log-rank method. P <0.01 means statistical significance. Results Thirty-three (80.5 %) of 41 patients were recurrent in the first 3 years and the median survival time was 23 months. Seventeen (41.5 %) of 41 patients underwent radical R0 resection. The median survival time of radical resection patients and non-radical resection ones were 49 months and 18 months, respectively, and the difference was significant (χ2=12.245, P=0.000). Thirty-one patients with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy showed a statistically longer median survival time than the other 10 patients without these adjuvant treatment (39 months and 9 months, respectively) (χ2=17.533, P =0.000). Conclusion Most post operative anastomotic recurrent of rectal cancer cases occurs in the first 3 years after primary surgery. Radical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can improve the prognosis.
RESUMO
Objective To assess the feasibility and indications of local resection as an alternative to pancreaticoduedenectomy for the treatment of early stage ampullary cancer. Methods In this study,36 patients with an AJCC.stage pTl ampullary carcinoma were operated on between 1989 and 2009.Among those local resection was performed in 11 cases and pancreaticoduodenectomy in 25 cases.The main outcome measures were pre-and intra-operative diagnosis and staing,postoperative morbidity and mortality,recurrence.free and overall survival.Results Amp-llary cancerat early stageWas difficult to be diagnosed and staged before and during operation.It was at a much lower risk to perform local resection than pancreaticoduodenectomy.Postoperative complications were significantly lower in local resefion group than in pancreaticoduodenectomy group(P=0.031);whereas the postoperative hospital stay(P=0.254),perioperative mortality(P=1.000).disease-free survival(P=0:301)and long-term survival(P=0.289) were not statistically different between.the two groups. Conclusions Since accurate diagnosis and staginging of early ampullary cancer was diit3cult to establish perioperatively.local resection should be indicated forpoor risk pafients or those who refuse pancreaticoduedenectomy.
RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the surgical procedures and prognostic factors for colorectal carcinoma in patients aged over 70. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 31 colorectal cancer patients aged over 70 seen in our hospital between January 1992 and December 2001.Treatment procedures and outcome of these patients were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and Cox regression analysis was conducted to analyze prognostic factors. Results: The median age of these patients was 74 years.The median follow-up period was 12 months.The postoperative complication rate was 22.6%.The thirty-days mortality was 6.5%.There were 28 cases of tubular adenocarcinoma (well differentiated in 5 cases,moderately differentiated in 16 cases,and poorkly differentiated in 7 cases)and 3 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma.As to Dukes stage,there were 8 cases of B stage,9 cases of C stge,and 14 cases of D stage.The overall 5-year survival rate was 22.7%.The 5-year survival rate was 44.4%in the radical surgery group and 7.7%in the palliative surgery group.The median survival period of all patients was 12 months.The median survival period was 38 months in the radical surgery group and 9 months in the palliative surgery group.Univariate analysis showed that the predictors for survival were age,co-morbidity,preoperative serum CEA level,preoperative serum albumin concentration,duration of surgery,radical surgery,and cancer stage. Conclusion: Radical resection is a prerequisite for cure of colorectal cancer with obstruction in elderly patients.Age and preoperative serum albumin concentration are independent prognostic indicators.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the surgical treatment and indications for primary lesion in patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer.nethods Clinical data of 118 patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer undergoing surgical treatment from January 1988 to December 2005 in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were analyzed retrospectively using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(Release 13.0,SPSS,Inc).Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test.Cox regression was used in multivariate analysis.Results One hundred and five of 118 patients received rectal primary lesion resection,including 16 cases with simultaneously metastatic tumor resection.13 of 118 patients received ostomy.The overall 5-year survival rate of the primary lesion resection group was 8.57%,the 5-year survival rate of the metastatic tumor resection group was 31.2%.The median survival in the primary lesion resection group and the ostomy group was 15 months and 13 months respectively(X2=0.736.P=0.778).Multivariate analysis showed that degree of differentiation of primary tumor,maximal diameter of liver metastasis and chemotherapy were the most important prognostic factor of the primary tumor resection group.Conclusion Simultaneous resection of primary and metastatic tumor can prolong suivival time of patients with resectable stage Ⅳ rectal cancer.
RESUMO
Objective To identify the pmgnesfic factors influencing the recurrence and metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater after panreaticoduodenectomy. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on the clinical manifestation, pathological behavior and survival data in 101 patients with Vater's ampullary adenecarcinoma receiving pancreaticoduodenectomy from Jan 1980 to Dec 2003. Results According to TNM system, there were 42 cases (41.6%) of stage Ⅰ, 32 cases (31.7%) of stage Ⅱ, 27 cases (26.7%) of stage Ⅲ. During postoperative follow-up period [ median, 46(2-192) months] 25 patients (24.8%) suffered from recurrence or/and metastasis with the median recurrence time of 20 (2-93) months, among which there were 11(10.8%) cases of local recurrence and 20 (19.6%) cases of distant metastasis. The differences were statistically significant between the patients with recurrence or/and metastasis and those without in the following parameters: tumor size larger than 2 cm (64% vs. 39%, X2=4.56, P=0.033), positive lymph node metastasis in the primary specimens (52% vs. 17%, X2=11.98, P=0.001), postoperative complications (51% vs. 20%, X2=7.50, P=0.006). Logistic regression showed only lymph node status (OR=5.14, P=0.0037) was independent factors of tumor recurrence and metastasis. The median non-recurrent time in those without lymph node metastasis was 49 (2-192) months, significantly longer than the median 32(12-152) months in those with metastasis (X2=5.43, P=0.0198, log-rank test). Conclusions Recurrent metastasis is the main problem in patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The lymph node status is an independent prognostic factor.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML). Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with hepatic angiomyolipoma admitted in our hospital from 1989 to 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. Result There were 4 male patients and 10 female patients. Median age was 41 years old. The lesions located in right lobe in 8 patients, and in left lobe in 6 patients. B-US was taken in 12 patients before operation, and other examinations included CT in 8 patients, MRI in 7 patients and angiography in 2 patients. Five patients were diagnosed with HAML by imagine features. Fine needle biopsy was taken in 1 patient with no definite diagnosis. All patients underwent resection and got the histopathologic diagnosis with HAML. All specimens were HMB-45 positive. S-100 and SMA were tested in 7 and 6 patients respectively, and were positive in all those patients. All cases were followed up for 6 months to 18 years (median time was 3 years). 13 patients were still alive without recurrence and 1 patient died of postoperative DIC and heart failure. Conclusion There was marked female predominance in HAML. Imaging features are helpful for preoperative diagnosis of HAML, but correct diagnosis was achieved in only a fraction of patients. HMB-45 positive was definitive proof for histopathologic diagnosis of HAML. Hepatectomy was an effective treatment for HAML.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of different surgical modalities on primary anorectal malignant melanoma. Methods Clinical data of 60 primary anorectal malignant melanoma cases who were admitted between 1965 and 2007 were collected, summarized and analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed using the COX proportional hazards regression method. Results Tumors located in the rectum in 50 cases, in the anal canal in 10 cases. The overall survival rates were not significantly different between the 23 cases who received tumor resection only and those 30 cases receiving postoperative adjuvant therapy (X2=0. 078, P>0.05). Among these 53 surgical cases of anorectal malignant melanoma, 37underwent abdominoperineal resection, 16 underwent wide local excisions, There was no significant difference of the survival rates between the two groups (X2=1.464,P>0.05). Risk factors analysis revealed that the depth of tumor invasion is a risk factor (P<0.05), the modality of treatment is a protective factor (P<0.05). Conclusions Surgical operation is the principal effective management for anorectal malignant melanoma, Wide local excision is the principal therapeutic choice for localized well-circumferential anorectal malignant melanomas.
RESUMO
Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment for solidpseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP). Method In this study, 27 cases of SPTP from September 2000 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The median age of these 27 cases was 26 years. There were 26 females and 1 male. Epigastric pain was complained in 16 cases, abdominal aponia mass in 11 cases. Tumour marker level was within normal range. Ultrasonic manifestation usually shows cystic and solid lesion without blood signal. Lesions were typical with high blood supply in enhanced CT scan, cystic and solid component confounding in it. MRI revealed low-middle signal in T1 and middle-high signal in T2. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 9 cases, pancreatic local excision and pancreaticojejunostomy were performed in 4 cases, pancreatic local excision was performed in 6 cases, Distal pancreatectomy and spleen resection were performed in 8 cases. Post-operative pathology shows local lesion in 12 cases, invading the pancreatic parenchyma in 14 cases and intravascular tumor thrombi and lymphnode metastasis in 1 case. All cases were followed up with an average period of 26.1 months. There was no recurrence nor metastasis. Conclusion Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas has a low malignant potential, affecting primarily young women. It has no typical clinical appearance. Enhanced CT scanning has the relative characteristic imaging. Complete resection usually results in long-term survival.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the epidemiological, pathological, clinical features and therapy of collision carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seven patients were studied retrospectively against the background of the literature from 1980 to 2001, including the incidence, age of onset, sex ratio, predilection sites, clinical signs, pathological features and therapies.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Collision carcinoma is rare, but more common in males than in females. The peak onset age is more than 65 years. It is found frequently in the stomach, liver, uterine, esophagogastric junction, and lung. Without special clinical features, it is difficult to diagnose. Pathological findings are the only way to make a correct diagnosis before operation. Operation is the major therapy, assisted by chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy when necessary. Collision carcinoma represents a coexistence of two adjacent but histologically different malignant neoplasmas without histological admixture in an organ.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Collision carcinoma is rare but composed of mosaics of two malignant tumours. The clinical features of collision carcinoma need further investigation.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the application of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) in colorectal carcinoma resection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fourteen patients with colorectal carcinoma underwent resection by HALS.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Hand-assisted laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed in 6 of 8 ascending colon cancer patients, spending an average of 160 minutes (110 to 220 minutes) for the procedure. The amount of bleeding was 40 approximately 100 ml. Bowel sounds resumed in 36 approximately 72 hours after the operation. The average interval between the operation and patients' discharge was 8 days (7 to 12 days). For 2 patients the surgeons had to resort to laparotomy. All patients received postoperative chemotherapy. Hand-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed in 5 of 6 patients with lower rectal cancer, with the average duration of 180 minutes (120 to 270 minutes), with bleeding of 40 to 80 ml. Bowel sounds resumed within 24 to 72 hours and the average discharge interval was 14 days (12 to 18 days). The urinary catheter in 6 patients was removed in 7 to 8 days after the operation. All patients with rectal carcinoma received postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. One patient was shifted to laparotomy because of extensive adhesion in the pelvic cavity. Four of 11 patients treated by HALS experienced slight pain in the incision. No other complications were observed in any of the patients. Remote results await further follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma, a safe and simple procedure, not only ensures the clearance of tumor, but also reduces operative trauma and hastens recovery.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To improve the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of head of pancreas.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective study was carried out to evaluate 178 patients suffering from carcinoma of head of pancreas.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Pain in the epigastrium and obstructive jaundice were observed in 70% and 74.2% of these 178 patients, both of which were of significance (P < 0.001) between stage I, II and stage III, IV disease. Only 18% of patients had pain in the back, 81.3% of whom belonged to the stage IV category. The detection rate of the tumor by B-ultrasound, CT and MRI were 74.2%, 87.3% and 85.5%, respectively. The success rate of pancreatoduodenectomy was 10.1%. The postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 67.5%, 36% and 5.6%. Internal drainage was performed in 115 patients. The median survival time was 7 months in patients with unresectable tumor who received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pain in the epigastrium and obstructive jaundice are the most common symptoms. Hyperglycemia is the most common complication. Pain in the back implies an advanced lesion. CT is the most important way of diagnosis and the combination of B-ultrasound, CT and MRI may improve the rate of diagnosis up to 96.6%. By now, pancreaticoduodenectomy is still the only effective treatment for the carcinoma of head of pancreas and internal drainage is an important palliative measure.</p>

ObjectiveTo improve the diagnosis and treatment of duodenal carcinoma (DC).Methods A retrospective study was made on the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of 45 duodenal carcinoma patients. Results The detection rate of DC by duodenoscopy was 95% (20/21), 96% (22/23) by hypotonic duodenography, 29% (13/45) by B ultrasound, 73% (19/26) by CT, and 80% (4/5) by MR. Forty four cases underwent surgery with resection rate of 53% (24/45), radical resection rate of 42% (19/45). The postoperative (radical resection) 1, 3, 5 year survival rate was 91%, 39%, and 26%, while the median survival time was 5 months in cases with unresectable tumor. Conclusions Duodenoscopy and hypotonic duodenography are ideal tools for the diagnosis of DC. For DC cases with obstructive jaundice, B ultrasound, CT and MR could show the obstructive portion and the metastasis.Radical resection is the mainstay for a long term survival.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo study the clinical feature, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hepatic angiomyolipoma.Methods The clinical materials of eight surgically treated patients with hepatic AML were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThere were five females and three males, with age ranging from 25 to 59 years (mean 39 6 years). Tumors were located in the right lobe of the liver in 5 cases, and in the left lobe in 3 cases. Ultrasonography and computed tomography were performed in all cases. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography were done in two each cases. The myoid cells in all tumors showed over expression of HMB 45. One patient died of postoperative heart failure, seven were followed up for 9 mos to 12 years without tumor recurrence. Conclusions Comprehensive imaging features can reveal the characteristic components of hepatic angiomyolipoma. HMB 45 immunostaining can be used to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical resection is an effective treatment of hepatic AML.
