RESUMO
A 73-year-old man underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during a medical check-up that revealed a Type 2 lesion in the anterior wall of the gastric body. The biopsy confirmed tub2. A contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed focal wall thickening and lymphadenopathy in the gastric body. The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer(M, ante, Type 2, T4aN1M0, Stage â ¢A). Laparotomy total gastrectomy D2 dissection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were performed. Pathological results were tub1, int, INF b, ly0, v1, pT4aN0M0, pStage â ¡B. S-1(100 mg/day)was started as adjuvant chemotherapy but discontinued after 3 courses due to anorexia(Grade 2). Multiple pulmonary metastases(both lungs, 5)were confirmed by CT examination 9 months after the operation. A diagnosis of gastric cancer recurrence was made, and CapeOX plus nivolumab was started as first-line therapy. After 2 courses, lung metastases tended to shrink. The lesion developed a complete response(CR)after 3 months. After that, CapeOX plus nivolumab was continued, but peripheral neuropathy(Grade 2)was observed in the 15th course. With continued capecitabine monotherapy and nivolumab(impaired liver function [Grade 3]for irAE), despite the maintenance of CR, hepatic function increased repeatedly(Grade 3)and led to the discontinuation of chemotherapy upon patient's request. Currently, CR has been maintained for 5 years and 6 months after recurrence.

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

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

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

A 41-year-old male, with a history of neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1)was referred for further evaluation of positive fecal occult blood test. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT incidentally showed a mass lesion with early darkening in the small intestine. It was suspected to be a small intestinal arteriovenous malformation, and surgery was performed. The tumor in the small intestine was resected under laparoscopic assistance. The histopathological diagnosis was gastrointestinal stromal tumors associated with NF1, which are usually located in the small intestine and relatively favorable prognosis.

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

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

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

Tumor mutation burden(TMB)-High is known to potentially elicit a favorable response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this report, we present a case of recurrent hilar cholangiocarcinoma with TMB-High, in which we performed comprehensive treatment including immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. The patient was a 58-year-old male diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent extended right hepatectomy, caudate lobe resection, bile duct excision, and bile duct reconstruction. Postoperatively, peritoneal seeding recurrence and liver metastasis were observed, indicating TMB-High. Therefore, pembrolizumab therapy was administered. The tumor marker CA19-9 significantly decreased, and the peritoneal seeding and liver metastatic lesions disappeared on imaging. In this case, we experienced the use of pembrolizumab monotherapy for TMB-High recurrent bile duct cancer with early postoperative peritoneal seeding recurrence. Further accumulation of cases is needed, but pembrolizumab monotherapy holds promise as a treatment option for TMB-High bile duct cancer at the hepatic hilum.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the number of colorectal cancer in Europe and the U. S. has been decreasing, but there are increasing reports on the trend of early-onset colorectal cancer(EOCRC), which is a rare population with no established knowledge on its characteristics. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Of 3,501 colorectal cancer cases treated at our hospital between April 2011 and December 2021, those aged 39 years and younger were included. RESULTS: There were 32 EOCRC cases, 11 males/21 females. The histological type was tub in 31 cases and por in 1 case. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was administered in 14 patients, and 12 completed the scheduled course. Twenty nine patients underwent R0 resection, of which 6 patients had recurrence and 5 patients died of primary disease. In summary, although EOCRC patients were in good general condition and had a high completion rate of adjuvant chemotherapy, the relapse rate was high, suggesting the need for aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy and careful postoperative surveillance.

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have not evaluated the surgical difficulty of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer in elderly patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of elderly age on the perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy, focusing on surgical difficulty. METHODS: This single-center retrospective study included patients who underwent minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer at Kansai Rosai Hospital between September 2012 and December 2023. Perioperative outcomes were investigated between the elderly (>75 years) and non-elderly (≤75 years) groups. RESULTS: Fifty-six patients were included: 26 and 30 in the elderly and non-elderly groups, respectively. The median operative time was significantly shorter in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (324 vs. 414 min, p = .022), but other surgical outcomes were not significantly different including oncological factors. The median difficulty score was similar between the elderly and non-elderly groups (6 vs. 7, respectively; p = .699). The incidences of postoperative complications and pancreatic fistulas were not significantly different in the elderly and non-elderly groups (23% vs. 43%, p = .159, and 19% vs. 36%, p = .236, respectively), even though analyzed in subgroups with low-to-intermediate or high difficulty score. CONCLUSIONS: The safety and feasibility of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer were not significantly different between elderly and non-elderly patients, even when surgical difficulty was considered. This surgical procedure can be safe and feasible for elderly patients.

INTRODUCTION: Cholangiolocellular carcinoma (CoCC) resembles cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) and presents a variety of imaging findings; thus, preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients who were diagnosed with CoCC at the Kansai Rosai Hospital from 2006 to 2021 and treated by laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) or open liver resection (OLR). RESULT: Among 918 liver resections, 15 patients were diagnosed with CoCC: 11 underwent LLR and 4 OLR. For LLR and OLR, respectively, patient age was 69.9 ± 6.8 and 72.8 ± 10.6, sex was M/F: 10/1 and 2/2, Child-Pugh was A/B/C: 10/1/0 and 4/0/0, liver damage was A/B/C: 8/3/0 and 4/0/0, preoperative diagnosis was CoCC/CCC/HCC: 1/2/8 and 2/2/0, pathological stage of Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) was IA/IB/II/IIIA/IIIB/IV: 8/0/2/1/0/0 and 0/0/3/0/1/0 (p = .0312), and extent of liver resection was Hr0/HrS/Hr1/Hr2/: 3/0/5/3 and 1/1/0/2. In LLR and OLR, respectively, operation time was 417.5 ± 191.0 and 407.5 ± 187.9 min, blood loss was 123.3 ± 217.4 and 1385.0 ± 1038.7 mL, and postoperative hospital stay was 12.2 ± 13.7 and 15.0 ± 6.6 days. For stages I and II/III, respectively, the 5-year disease-free survival rates were 100.0% and 34.3%, and the 5-year overall survival rates were 100.0% and 55.6%. For stage II/III LLR and OLR, respectively, the 3-year disease-free survival rates were 33.3% and 37.5% (p = .8418), and the 5-year overall survival rates were 66.7% and 50.0% (p = .8084). CONCLUSION: Although further studies are still needed to confirm, minimally invasive liver resection without lymph node dissection is one of a safe and effective approach to the management of CoCC.
