ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The inflammatory potential of the diet has been linked to colorectal cancer (CRC) development and mortality. However, it is unknown whether it is also associated with CRC recurrence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the associations between the inflammatory potential of the diet and plasma inflammation markers as well as recurrence and all-cause mortality in CRC patients. METHODS: Data of the Colorectal cancer, Observational, LONgitudinal (COLON) study, a prospective cohort study, was used. Dietary intake, assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, was available for 1478 patients at diagnosis and for 1334 patients six months after diagnosis. Dietary intake data were used to calculate the adapted dietary inflammatory index (ADII). Data about cancer recurrence and all-cause mortality, were assessed through linkage with the Netherlands Cancer Registry and the Municipal Personal Records Database, respectively. The association between the ADII (continuous) and inflammation markers (Interleukin (IL)6, IL8, IL10, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)α, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and a summary inflammatory z-score), measured with a multiplex assay using electrochemiluminiscence detection, was assessed using quantile regression analyses. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) analyses and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the relationship between the ADII and CRC outcomes. RESULTS: During a median follow-up time of 3.2 years (Interquartile range (IQR) 2.0-4.1) for recurrence and 4.8 years (IQR 3.5-5.9) for all-cause mortality, 228 recurrences and 279 deaths occurred. A more pro-inflammatory diet at diagnosis as well as six months after diagnosis was associated with higher levels of TNFα, hsCRP and the summary inflammatory z-score. Results of RCS showed no relationship between the ADII and CRC outcomes at both time points. Also results of the Cox proportional hazard models showed no associations between the ADII at both time points and recurrence (HR (95%CI) 0.98 (0.94-1.04) & 0.96 (0.91-1.02) or all-cause mortality (HR (95%CI) 1.03 (0.98-1.07) & 1.00 (0.95-1.05)). CONCLUSION: Our study did not show an association between the ADII and recurrence and all-cause mortality in CRC patients. Further research should also take into account molecular tumor subtypes, as the effect of the inflammatory potential of the diet on cancer recurrence and mortality is more likely to be present in tumors with an inflammatory signature.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic resection is often feasible for submucosal invasive colorectal cancers (T1 CRCs) and usually judged as complete. If histology casts doubt on the radicality of resection margins, adjuvant surgical resection is advised, although residual intramural cancer is found in only 5% to 15% of patients. We assessed the sensitivity of biopsy specimens from the resection area for residual intramural cancer as a potential tool to estimate the preoperative risk of residual intramural cancer in patients without risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM). METHODS: In this multicenter prospective cohort study, patients with complete endoscopic resection of T1 CRC, scheduled for adjuvant resection due to pathologically unclear resection margins, but absent risk factors for LNM, were asked to consent to second-look endoscopy with biopsies. The results were compared with the pathology results of the surgical resection specimen (criterion standard). RESULTS: One hundred three patients were included. In total, 85% of resected lesions were unexpectedly malignant, and 45% were removed using a piecemeal resection technique. Sixty-four adjuvant surgical resections and 39 local full-thickness resections were performed. Residual intramural cancer was found in 7 patients (6.8%). Two of these patients had cancer in second-look biopsy specimens, resulting in a sensitivity of 28% (95% confidence interval, <58%). The preoperative risk of residual intramural cancer in the case of negative biopsy specimens was not significantly reduced (P = .61). CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivity of second-look endoscopy with biopsies for residual intramural cancer after endoscopic resection of CRC is low. Therefore, it should not be used in the decision whether or not to perform adjuvant resection. (Clinical trial registration number: NCT02328664.).

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The distribution of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with chronic gastrointestinal ischemia due to atherosclerosis of the splanchnic vessels (chronic splanchnic syndrome) is not well studied. The aim of this study was to determine the cardiovascular risk factor pattern in patients with chronic splanchnic syndrome. METHODS: From April 2003 to September 2007, atherosclerotic risk factors in consecutive patients with chronic splanchnic syndrome were compared prospectively with the general atherosclerotic risk profile in Western Europe and worldwide risk profile of coronary heart disease, peripheral artery disease, and cerebral vascular disease. RESULTS: Of 376 analyzed patients, 97 were diagnosed with chronic splanchnic syndrome. Data from 90 patients were available for analysis (7 were excluded because of incomplete data). Mean age was 63 years (range 28-86 years), and 74% were female. Fifty-nine percent of the patients had atherosclerotic disease in other vascular beds. Smoking was reported in 57%, and increased bodyweight in 21%. Hypercholesterolemia was present in 53%, hypertension in 62%, and diabetes in 21%. CONCLUSIONS: The atherosclerotic risk profile in patients with chronic splanchnic syndrome differed from other atherosclerotic diseases with a female preponderance, lower incidence of obesity/increased bodyweight, diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. Reduced caloric intake, related to the postprandial pain, may explain the observed differences.
