RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Parameters obtained from two-dimensional (2D) cross-sectional images have been used to determine body composition. However, data from three-dimensional (3D) volumetric body images reflect real body composition more accurately and may be better predictors of patient outcomes in cancer. This study aimed to assess the 3D parameters and determine the best predictive factors for patient prognosis. METHODS: Patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) between 2010 and 2016 were included in this study. Preoperative computed tomography images were analysed using an automatic segmentation program. Body composition parameters for muscle, muscle adiposity, subcutaneous fat (SF) and abdominal visceral fat (AVF) were assessed using 2D images at the third lumbar (L3) level and 3D images of the abdominal waist (L1-L5). The cut-off points for each parameter were determined using X-tile software. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify the association between the parameters and the treatment outcomes, and the relative influence of each parameter was compared using a gradient boosting model. RESULTS: Overall, 499 patients were included in the study. At a median follow-up of 59 months, higher 3D parameters of the abdominal muscles and SF from the abdominal waist were found to be associated with longer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (all P < 0.001). Although the 3D parameters of AVF were not related to survival outcomes, patients with a high AVF volume and mass experienced higher rate of postoperative complications than those with low AVF volume (27.4% vs. 18.7%, P = 0.021, for mass; 27.1% vs. 19.0%, P = 0.028, for volume). Low muscle mass and volume (hazard ratio [HR] 1.959, P = 0.016; HR 2.093, P = 0.036, respectively) and low SF mass and volume (HR 1.968, P = 0.008; HR 2.561, P = 0.003, respectively), both in the abdominal waist, were identified as independent prognostic factors for worse OS. Along with muscle mass and volume, SF mass and volume in the abdominal waist were negatively correlated with mortality (all P < 0.001). Both AVF mass and volume in the abdominal waist were positively correlated with postoperative complications (P < 0.05); 3D muscle volume and SF at the abdominal waist were the most influential factors for OS. CONCLUSIONS: 3D volumetric parameters generated using an automatic segmentation program showed higher correlations with the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with CRC than conventional 2D parameters.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recently, smaller-size trocars and instruments have been developed for laparoscopic colon cancer surgery; however, their effectiveness and safety have not been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate whether 3 mm trocars and instruments have benefits compared with conventional trocars and instruments. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic anterior resection or right hemicolectomy were included. Patients who underwent combined resections of other organs and those with conversion to open surgery were excluded. In the 3 mm group, three 5 mm trocars were replaced by 3 mm trocars. The numeric rating scale (NRS) immediately postoperatively at 24, 48, and 72 hours, respectively, after surgery and the use of additional analgesics and perioperative outcomes were analyzed. Case-control matched analysis was used to reduce bias according to the type of surgery. RESULTS: A total of 207 patients (conventional: n = 158, 3 mm: n = 49) were included. Before matching, NRS 48 hours postoperatively ( P = 0.049), proportion of patients using additional intravenous (IV) analgesics ( P = 0.007), postoperative hospital stay ( P < 0.001), and blood loss ( P < 0.001) were lower in the 3 mm group. In multivariable analysis, trocar type significantly impacted the proportion of patients using additional IV analgesics (odds ratio: 0.330; 95% CI: 0.153-0.712; P = 0.005). After case-control matching, NRS immediately postoperatively ( P = 0.015) and 24 hours postsurgery ( P = 0.043), patients using additional IV analgesics ( P = 0.019), postoperative hospital stay ( P = 0.010), intraoperative blood loss ( P < 0.001), and postoperative complication rate ( P = 0.028) were significantly lower in the 3 mm group compared with the 5 mm group. CONCLUSIONS: The use of 3 mm trocars and instruments in laparoscopic colon cancer surgery can effectively reduce postoperative pain while maintaining perioperative safety.

RESUMO

This study aimed to assess the likely association of gut microbiome with low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) symptoms. Postoperative stool samples from patients with minor or major LARS after sphincter-preserving surgery (SPS) for rectal cancer were collected and analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing method. The symptom patterns of LARS were classified into two groups (PC1LARS, PC2LARS) using principal component analysis. The dichotomized sum of questionnaire items (sub1LARS, sub2LARS) was used to group patients according to the main symptoms. According to microbial diversity, enterotype, and taxa, PC1LARS and sub1LARS were associated with frequency-dominant LARS symptoms and patients, while PC2LARS and sub2LARS were grouped as incontinence-dominant LARS symptoms and patients. Butyricicoccus levels decreased while overall LARS scores increased. The α-diversity richness index Chao1 showed a significantly negative correlation in sub1LARS and a positive correlation in sub2LARS. In sub1LARS, the severe group showed a lower Prevotellaceae enterotype and higher Bacteroidaceae enterotype than the mild group. Subdoligranulum and Flavonifractor showed a negative and a positive correlation with PC1LARS, respectively, while showing a negative relationship with PC2LARS. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium were negatively correlated to PC1LARS. Frequency-dominant LARS had decreased diversity of gut microbiome and showed lower levels of lactic acid-producing bacteria.

RESUMO

AIM: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a primary prognostic marker and can detect colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence; however, it has low sensitivity. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) can be used as a supplemental tumour marker along with CEA. The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperative CA 19-9 added to CEA helped predict long-term prognosis and whether follow-up CA 19-9 added to CEA had additional benefits in diagnosing the recurrence of CRC. METHOD: We retrospectively assessed patients who underwent surgery for primary CRC between January 2004 and December 2015 at Seoul National University Hospital. Data on demographics, preoperative and follow-up CEA and CA 19-9 levels, recurrence and survival were obtained and analysed with respect to tumour marker levels to ascertain their prognostic and diagnostic values. RESULTS: A total of 4972 and 1530 patients were included to analyse preoperative and follow-up tumour marker levels, respectively. The 5-year relapse-free survival rates were 72.2% ± 0.8%, 52.5% ± 2.2%, 55.5% ± 3.2% and 32.1% ± 2.3% in the normal CEA and CA 19-9, high CEA, high CA 19-9, and high CEA and high CA 19-9 groups, respectively (all P < 0.001). Patients whose elevated CEA or CA 19-9 levels reduced to normal levels had better survival outcomes than those with postoperatively elevated levels. Elevated follow-up CA 19-9 and CEA levels were related to higher incidences of distant metastasis (CA 19-9, 14.0% vs. 23.1%, P = 0.004; CEA, 12.6% vs. 30.1%, P < 0.001) but not to local recurrence. Combined follow-up CEA and CA 19-9 increased the sensitivity for recurrence to 31.4%, with a 5% difference from the sensitivity of CEA alone. In the subgroup with high preoperative CA 19-9 levels, sensitivity increased by 18.2% overall. CONCLUSION: CA 19-9 is a valuable prognostic and diagnostic marker for CRC when used adjunctively with CEA and can be a supplementary marker with CEA to improve sensitivity, especially with elevated preoperative CA 19-9.

RESUMO

Background: Right-sided colonic diverticulitis (RCD) and left-sided colonic diverticulitis (LCD) are considered distinct diseases. However, separate guidelines for RCD do not exist. Since the establishment of RCD management would first require evaluation of disease characteristics and recurrence patterns, this study has aimed to investigate the differences in the clinical characteristics between RCD and LCD and the recurrence patterns of RCD. Methods: Patients admitted for colonic diverticulitis between January 2012 and August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical characteristics and recurrence rates in RCD and LCD patients, and predictors for recurrence and the recurrence patterns of RCD were analyzed. Results: In total, 446 colonic diverticulitis patients (343 RCD, 103 LCD) were included in this study. RCD patients were more likely to be male, younger, taller, heavier, smoke, drink alcohol, have better physical performance scores, lower modified Hinchey stages and better initial laboratory findings. LCD patients were more likely to receive invasive treatments, have longer fasting and hospital days, higher mortality and cumulative recurrence rates (20.5% vs. 30.4%, P = 0.007). Recurrences in most RCD patients were of similar disease severity and received the same treatments for initial attacks, with rates of recurrence increasing after each recurrence. Predictors of the recurrence of RCD were complicated diverticulitis (hazard ratio[HR] 2.512, 95% confidence interval[CI] 0.127-5.599, p = 0.024) and percutaneous drainage (HR 6.549, 95% CI 1.535-27.930, p = 0.011). Conclusion: RCD is less severe and has a lower recurrence rate than LCD, suggesting that RCD should be treated conservatively. Patients with complicated diseases and those requiring percutaneous drainage are more likely to experience a disease recurrence, suggesting nonsurgical management may be insufficient.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) is an option in the treatment of rectal cancer and may reduce local recurrence/improve disease-free survival. Advancements in minimally invasive technology have improved the ability to identify anatomy and neurovascular structures that may help in LPLND. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the technical feasibility and oncological safety of laparoscopic LPLND compared with the open LPLND. METHOD: Between July 2010 and July 2019, patients from three tertiary referral hospitals who underwent LPLND with total mesorectal excision for primary rectal cancer were included. Baseline patient characteristics, perioperative outcomes, pathologic results, recurrence, and survival were compared between the laparoscopic and open groups. RESULTS: There were 126 and 70 patients in the laparoscopic and open groups respectively. The laparoscopic group had less estimated blood loss (100 ml versus 300 ml, P < 0.001) and lower transfusion rate (0.8 per cent versus 10.0 per cent; P = 0.003) but longer operating times (318 min versus 270 min, P = 0.004). The laparoscopic group had fewer wound infections (1.6 per cent versus 10.0 per cent, P = 0.011) and neuropathy (0 per cent versus 4.3 per cent, P = 0.044). Lateral pelvic recurrence rate was 7.6 per cent in the laparoscopic group and 19.6 per cent in the open group (P = 0.053). Recurrence-free survival (72.2 per cent versus 63.5 per cent; P = 0.190) and overall survival (93.3 per cent versus 85.0 per cent; P = 0.118) were not significantly different. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic LPLND was associated with improved perioperative outcomes and non-inferior oncological outcomes.

RESUMO

We aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of simultaneous laparoscopic, hybrid, and open resection for colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 647 patients with simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and liver metastases between January 2006 and December 2018 at three tertiary referral hospitals. Patient's baseline characteristics, perioperative outcomes, pathological examination results, liver-specific recurrence rate and survivals were compared between the propensity score-matched groups. Forty-two and 81 patients were selected for the laparoscopic vs. hybrid groups, and 48 and 136 patients for laparoscopic vs. open groups, respectively. The laparoscopic group had fewer wound complications (2.1 vs. 13.2%; p = 0.028) than the open group, and a shorter postoperative hospital stay than the hybrid and open groups (8 vs. 11 days, p < 0.001 for both). The 5-year liver-specific recurrence rates were 38.7% and 46.0% in the laparoscopic and hybrid groups, respectively (p = 0.270), and 34.0% and 37.0% in the laparoscopic and open groups, respectively (p = 0.391). Simultaneous laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer and liver metastases can be performed safely with significantly enhanced postoperative recovery and comparable long-term outcomes compared to hybrid and open resection.

RESUMO

Recurrence can still occur even after radical resection of stage I colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to identify subgroups with a high risk for recurrence in the stage I CRC. We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data of 1952 patients with stage I CRC after radical resection between 2002 and 2017 at our institute. 1398 (colon, 903 (64.6%), rectum, 495 (35.4%)) were eligible for analysis. We analyzed the risk factors for recurrence and survival. During the follow-up period (median: 59 months), 63 (4.6%) had a recurrence. The recurrence rate of rectal cancer was significantly higher than that of colon cancer (8.5% vs. 2.3%). Left-sided tumors, T2, tumor size >5 cm, and lymphovascular invasion were independent risk factors of colon cancer recurrence. Male, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ≥2.5 ng/mL, and harvested lymph nodes (LNs) <12 were independently associated with recurrence of rectal cancer. Recurrence affected OS (5-year OS: 97.1% vs. 67.6%). Despite curative resection, survival sharply decreased with recurrence. The risk factors for recurrence were different between colon and rectal cancer. Patients with a higher risk for recurrence should be candidates for more aggressive surveillance, even in early-stage CRC.

RESUMO

To identify low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) patterns and their associations with risk factors and quality of life (QOL). This cross-sectional study analyzed patients who underwent restorative anterior resection for left-sided colorectal cancer at Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. We administered LARS questionnaires to assess bowel dysfunction and quality of life between April 2017 and November 2019. LARS patterns were classified based on factor analyses. Variable effects on LARS patterns were estimated using logistic regression analysis. The risk factors and quality of life associated with dominant LARS patterns were analyzed. Data of 283 patients with a median follow-up duration of 24 months were analyzed. Major LARS was observed in 123 (43.3%) patients. Radiotherapy (odds ratio [OR]: 2.851, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 2.504-43.958, p = 0.002), low anastomosis (OR: 10.492, 95% CI: 2.504-43.958, p = 0.001), and complications (OR: 2.163, 95% CI: 1.100-4.255, p = 0.025) were independently associated with major LARS. LARS was classified into incontinence- or frequency-dominant types. Risk factors for incontinence-dominant LARS were radiotherapy and complications, whereas those for frequency-dominant LARS included low tumor location. Patients with incontinence-dominant patterns showed lower emotional function, whereas those with frequency-dominant patterns showed lower global health QOL, lower emotional, cognitive, and social functions, and higher incidence of pain and diarrhea. Frequency-dominant LARS had a greater negative effect on QOL than incontinence-dominant LARS. These patterns could be used for preoperative prediction and postoperative treatment of LARS.

RESUMO

Gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Concomitant cytomegalovirus (CMV) enteritis worsens the prognosis of this condition. We report a case of small bowel perforation associated with gastrointestinal GVHD and CMV enteritis in a patient with leukemia who was successfully treated surgically. A 39-year-old man presented with intestinal perforation necessitating emergency surgical intervention. He was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and developed severe gastrointestinal GVHD and CMV enteritis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. His terminal ileum showed a perforation with diffuse wall thinning, and petechiae were observed over long segments of the distal ileum and the proximal colon. Small bowel segmental resection and a subtotal colectomy with a double-barreled ileocolostomy were performed. The patient recovered uneventfully after the operation. Based on reports described in the literature, surgery plays a minor role in the management of gastrointestinal GVHD; however, timely surgical intervention could be effective in selected patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of preoperative anemia and impacts of anemia and transfusion on survival in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer. METHODS: This study included patients who underwent surgery for primary colorectal cancer between 2011 and 2012. The influence of preoperative anemia and postoperative transfusion on recurrence-free survival and overall survival were retrospectively investigated. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin level < 13 g/dL in males and < 12 g/dL in females. The primary outcome was the prevalence of preoperative anemia in patients with colorectal cancer. Secondary outcomes included preoperative anemia management, postoperative 30-day mortality and morbidity, tumor recurrence, and overall survival. RESULTS: Among a total of 1899 patients, 823 patients (43.3%) were anemic preoperatively, and 264 patients (13.9%) received postoperative transfusions. Postoperative transfusion was associated with 30-day postoperative complications (OR = 1.514, 95% CI = 1.020 ~ 2.247) but not preoperative anemia (OR = 1.143, 95% CI, 0.811 ~ 1.611). Preoperative anemia (HR = 1.459, 95% CI = 1.104 ~ 1.929) and postoperative transfusion (HR = 1.566, 95% CI = 1.089 ~ 2.252) were significantly associated with worse recurrence-free survival in multivariable analysis. Preoperative anemia (HR = 1.572, 95% CI = 1.274 ~ 1.940) and postoperative transfusion (HR = 1.381, 95% CI = 1.076 ~ 1.773) were significant independent risk factors for worse overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative anemia and postoperative transfusion were associated with worse survival in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer. An alternative therapy to treat anemia and reduce transfusions should be introduced to improve oncologic outcomes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of selective lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) and the effect of preoperative chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) in patients with LLN ≥ 5 mm. METHODS: Patients who underwent PCRT for rectal cancer were classified: (A) total mesorectal excision (TME)-only with LLN < 5 mm (2001-2009, n = 474), (B) TME-only with LLN < 5 mm (2011-2016, n = 273), (C) TME-only with LLN ≥ 5 mm (2001-2009, n = 102), and (D) TME-LLND with LLN ≥ 5 mm (2011-2016, n = 69). Subgroup analysis was performed in patients with LLN ≥ 5 mm based on the reduction in LLN size to < 5 mm or not on restaging MRI after PCRT. RESULTS: Oncological outcomes did not differ between groups A and B. Group D had lower 3-year local recurrence (LR) (20.13% vs 5.39%, P = 0.0013) and higher relapse-free survival (RFS) (65.83% vs 77.11%, P = 0.0436) than group C, while the 3-year overall survival (OS) was not significantly different between the two groups (87.64% vs 93.53%, P = 0.0670). In patients with reduction of LLN size from ≥ 5 mm to < 5 mm, LLND significantly reduced LR than did TME alone, but there were no significant differences in survival outcomes. In patients without reduction of LLN size to < 5 mm, LLND reduced LR and improved RFS compared with TME alone. CONCLUSIONS: Selective LLND reduced LR and improved RFS in patients with LLN ≥ 5 mm. Selective LLND reduced LR in patients with reduction of LLN size from ≥ 5 mm to < 5 mm after PCRT, and improved both LR and RFS in patients without reduction of LLN size to < 5 mm.

RESUMO

Purpose: Endoscopic tattooing is used to mark colorectal lesions for subsequent surgery. As a tattooing agent, India ink has been widely used but is not currently available in Korea. Indocyanine green (ICG) can be applied as an alternative agent. However, studies on colonoscopic tattooing by the direct injection of indocyanine green are lacking. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between an ICG direct injection method and an India ink saline test injection method. Methods: A total of 227 patients who underwent preoperative endoscopic tattooing for colorectal neoplasm (149 patients in the ICG direct injection group and 78 patients in the India ink saline test injection group) were included in the study. The efficacy of the two methods was compared by visualization and safety was compared by evaluating the perioperative tattooing complications. Results: The visualization of lesions in the ICG group was not different from that of the India ink group (p=0.42, 96.0% vs 98.7%, respectively). Only one patient in the ICG group had abdominal pain related to tattooing, but no complications developed in the India ink group. Conclusion: Considering the good visualization and low complication rate, the direct injection of ICG can be used as an alternative tattooing method.

RESUMO

Purpose: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare malignant tumors arising from mesenchymal cells. The objective of this study was to review the treatment experiences and to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) after primary resection and subsequent reoperations for recurrences. Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent resection for RPS at our institution between June 2002 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to assess the prognostic factors for OS. Results: A total of 48 patients were enrolled. On multivariable analysis in primary resection group, the FNCLCC (Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer) grade was a significant prognostic factor for OS (P=0.006). The patients who received chemotherapy after primary resection were significantly associated with poor prognosis (P=0.009). The 5-year OS rate after primary resection (n=48) were 58.1% and the 5-year cumulative reoperation rate after primary resection was 62.5%. After second resection for recurrence after primary resection (n=23), the 5-year OS rate was 64.3%. There was a tendency towards decreased surgery-free survival rate as the number of repeated resections for recurrent RPS increased. In the subset of patients (n=16) who underwent more than 3 repeated resections at our institute, the 5-year OS rate was 75.0%, indicating that repeated resections are not associated with worse outcome. Conclusion: Only low tumor grade was an independent favorable prognostic factor for OS. Although the prognosis for RPS remains poor, repeated resections for recurrence are not associated with poor prognosis. Aggressive surgical strategies for recurred RPS patients are warranted.

RESUMO

We report a case of common bile duct (CBD) cancer, successfully managed with pancreaticoduodenectomy, in a patient with isolated levocardia, malrotation, and situs ambiguous (without splenic anomalies). A 59-year-old male patient was referred to Chung-Ang University Hospital with epigastric pain and jaundice. CT and MRI revealed distal CBD cancer without significant lymphadenopathy. Multiple abdominal anatomic anomalies were identified preoperatively, whereas no anatomic anomalies were detected within the chest. The patient had a right-sided stomach and spleen, liver at the midline, several vascular variations around the celiac axis, and intestinal malrotation, but the inferior vena cava and portal vein were normal. A pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed to treat the cancer. The postoperative course was favorable, and the patient was started on combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy 15 days after the surgery. In this case study, we report that pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was successful for distal CBD cancer in a patient with rare situs anomalies.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess clinical correlations with postoperative alteration of p16 DNA methylation, and to clarify whether postoperative changes in the serum DNA methylation status of p16 could be used as a reliable prognostic factor for gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-three consecutive gastric adenocarcinoma patients who underwent gastric resection (Chung-Ang University Hospital, Seoul, Korea) were included. DNA methylation of p16 was evaluated by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction using serum DNA preoperatively and at the 10th postoperative day. The correlation between changes in methylation status and patients' prognosis was analyzed. RESULTS: p16 was methylated in 79.2% of preoperative serum DNA and in 54.7% of postoperative serum DNA, respectively. Methylation in p16 disappeared more frequently in patients who underwent standard D2 lymphadenectomy compared to those who underwent modified D1+ lymphadenectomy (P=0.016). Whereas methylation of preoperative serum DNA was not correlated with survival, patients with postoperative disappearance of p16 methylation showed longer survival than those without postoperative disappearance of p16 methylation in the patients who had gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis (P=0.042). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative disappearance of p16 methylation could be an available prognostic factor for node-positive gastric cancer.
