Predictors of long term survival after hepatic resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma:A retrospective study of 5-year survivors

AIM:To determine predictors of long term survival after resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma(HC) by comparing patients surviving > 5 years with those who survived < 5 years.METHODS:This is a retrospective study of patients with pathologically proven HC who underwent surgical resection at the Gastroenterology Surgical Center,Mansoura University,Egypt between January 2002 and April 2013.All data of the patients were collected from the medical records.patients were divided into two groups according to their survival:patients surviving less than 5 years and those who survived > 5 years.RESULTS:There were 34(14%) long term survivors(5 year survivors) among the 243 patients.Fiveyear survivors were younger at diagnosis than those surviving less than 5 years(mean age,50.47 ± 4.45 vs 54.59 ± 4.98,p = 0.001).Gender,clinical presentation,preoperative drainage,preoperative serum bilirubin,albumin and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase were similar between the two groups.The level of CA 19-9 was significantly higher in patients surviving < 5 years(395.71 ± 31.43 vs 254.06 ± 42.19,p = 0.0001).Univariate analysis demonstrated nine variables to be significantly associated with survival > 5 year,includingyoung age(p = 0.001),serum CA19-9(p = 0.0001),non-cirrhotic liver(p = 0.02),major hepatic resection(p = 0.001),caudate lobe resection(p = 0.006),well differentiated tumour(p = 0.03),lymph node status(0.008),R0 resection margin(p = 0.0001) and early postoperative liver cell failure(p = 0.02).CONCLUSION:Liver status,resection of caudate lobe,lymph node status,R0 resection and CA19-9 were demonstrated to be independent risk factors for long term survival.

卡介苗用于我国中高危非肌层浸润性膀胱癌患者TUR-BT术后灌注治疗的药物经济学评价

Rare long-term survivors of pancreatic adenocarcinoma without curative resection

Long-term outcome data in pancreatic adenocarcinoma are predominantly based on surgical series, as resection is currently considered essential for longterm survival. In contrast, five-year survival in nonresected patients has rarely been reported. In this report, we examined the incidence and natural history of ≥ 5-year survivors with non-resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma. All patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who received oncologic therapy alone without surgery at our institution between 1995 and 2009 were identified. Non-resected ≥ 5-year survivors represented 2%(11/544) of all non-resected patients undergoing treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and 11%(11/98) of ≥ 5-year survivors. Nine patients had localized tumor and 2 metastatic disease at initial diagnosis. Disease progression occurred in 6 patients, and the local tumor bed was the most common site of progression. Six patients suffered from significant morbidities including recurrent cholangitis, second malignancy, malnutrition and bowel perforation. A rare subset of patients with pancreatic cancer achieve longterm survival without resection. Despite prolonged survival, morbidities unrelated to the primary cancer were frequently encountered and a close follow-up is warranted in these patients. Factors such as tumor biology and host immunity may play a key role in disease progression and survival.

Clinical value of serum CA19-9 levels in evaluating resectability of pancreatic carcinoma

AIM:To evaluate the clinical value of serum CA19-9 levels in predicting the respectability of pancreatic carcinoma according to receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis. METHODS:Serum CA19-9 levels were measured in 104 patients with pancreatic cancer which were possible to be resected according to the imaging. ROC curve was plotted for the CA19-9 levels. The point closest to the upper left-hand corner of the graph were chosen as the cut-off point. The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values of CA19-9 at this cut-off point were calculated. RESULTS:Resectable pancreatic cancer was detected in 58(55.77%) patients and unresectable pancreatic cancer was detected in 46(44.23%) patients. The area under the ROC curve was 0.918 and 95% CI was 0.843-0.992. The CA19-9 level was 353.15 U/mL,and the sensitivity and specificity of CA19-9 at this cut-off point were 93.1% and 78.3%,respectively. The positive and negative predictive value was 84.38% and 90%,respectively. CONCLUSION:Preoperative serum CA19-9 level is a useful marker for further evaluating the resectability of pancreatic cancer. Obviously increased serum levels of CA19-9(> 353.15 U/mL) can be regarded as an ancillary parameter for unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Non-polypoid colorectal neoplasms:Classification,therapy and follow-up

In the last years,an increasing interest has been raised on non-polypoid colorectal tumors(NPT) and in particular on large flat neoplastic lesions beyond 10 mm tending to grow laterally,called laterally spreading tumors(LST).LSTs and large sessile polyps have a greater frequency of high-grade dysplasia and local invasiveness as compared to pedunculated lesions of the same size and usually represent a technical challenge for the endoscopist in terms of either diagnosis and resection.According to the Paris classification,NPTs are distinguished in slightly elevated(0-Ⅱa,less than 2.5 mm),flat(0-Ⅱb) or slightly depressed(0-Ⅱc).NPTs are usually flat or slightly elevated and tend to spread laterally while in case of depressed lesions,cell proliferation growth progresses in depth in the colonic wall,thus leading to an increased risk of submucosal invasion(SMI) even for smaller neoplasms.NPTs may be frequently missed by inexperienced endoscopists,thus a careful training and precise assessment of all suspected mucosal areas should be performed.Chromoendoscopy or,if possible,narrow-band imaging technique should be considered for the estimation of SMI risk of NPTs,and the characterization of pit pattern and vascular pattern may be useful to predict the risk of SMI and,therefore,to guide the therapeutic decision.Lesions suitable to endoscopic resection are those confined to the mucosa(or superficial layer of submucosa in selected cases) whereas deeper invasion makes endoscopic therapy infeasible.Endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR,piecemeal for LSTs > 20 mm,en bloc for smaller neoplasms) remains the first-line therapy for NPTs,whereas endoscopic submucosal dissection in high-volume centers or surgery should be considered for large LSTs for which en bloc resection is mandatory and cannot be achieved by means of EMR.After piecemeal EMR,follow-up colonoscopy should be performed at 3 mo to assess resection completeness.In case of en bloc resection,surveillance colonoscopy should be scheduled at 3 years for adenomatous lesions ≥ 1 cm,or in presence of villous features or high-grade dysplasia patients(regardless of the size),while less intensive surveillance(colonoscopy at 5-10 years) is needed in case of single(or two) NPT < 1 cm presenting tubular features or low-grade dysplasia at histology.

Preoperative defining system for pancreatic head cancer considering surgical resection

AIM: To provide appropriate treatment, it is crucial to share the clinical status of pancreas head cancer among multidisciplinary treatment members.METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 113 patients who underwent surgery for pancreas head cancer from January 2008 to December 2012 was performed. We developed preoperative defining system of pancreatic head cancer by describing &#x0201c;resectability - tumor location - vascular relationship - adjacent organ involvement - preoperative CA19-9 (initial bilirubin level) - vascular anomaly&#x0201d;. The oncologic correlations with this reporting system were evaluated.RESULTS: Among 113 patients, there were 75 patients (66.4%) with resectable, 34 patients (30.1%) with borderline resectable, and 4 patients (3.5%) with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Mean disease-free survival was 24.8 mo (95%CI: 19.6-30.1) with a 5-year disease-free survival rate of 13.5%. Pretreatment tumor size &#x02265; 2.4 cm [Exp(B) = 3.608, 95%CI: 1.512-8.609, P = 0.044] and radiologic vascular invasion [Exp(B) = 5.553, 95%CI: 2.269-14.589, P = 0.002] were independent predictive factors for neoadjuvant treatment. Borderline resectability [Exp(B) = 0.222, P = 0.008], pancreatic head cancer involving the pancreatic neck [Exp(B) = 9.461, P = 0.001] and arterial invasion [Exp(B) = 6.208, P = 0.010], and adjusted CA19-9 &#x02265; 50 [Exp(B) = 1.972 P = 0.019] were identified as prognostic clinical factors to predict tumor recurrence.CONCLUSION: The suggested preoperative defining system can help with designing treatment plans and also predict oncologic outcomes.

Management of local recurrence after endoscopic resection of neoplastic colonic polyps

A proportion of neoplastic polyps are incompletely resected, resulting in local recurrence, especially after resection of large polyps or piecemeal resection. Local recurrences that develop after endoscopic resection of intramucosal neoplasms that lacked risk factors for lymph node metastasis or positive vertical margins are usually treated endoscopically. Endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) is indicated for local residual or recurrent early carcinomas after endoscopic resection. However, ESD for such recurrent lesions is technically difficult and is typically a lengthy procedure. Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection(UEMR), which was developed in 2012, is suitable for recurrent or residual lesions and reportedly achieves superior en bloc resection rates and endoscopic complete resection rates than conventional EMR. However, a large recurrent lesion is a negative independent predictor of successful en bloc resection and of complete endoscopic removal. We therefore perform UEMR for relatively small(≤ 10-15 mm) recurrent lesions and ESD for larger lesions.

Epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) associated hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) incidence is increasing worldwide, paralleling the obesity epidemic. Although most cases are associated with cirrhosis, HCC can occur without cirrhosis in NAFLD. Diabetes and obesity are associated risk factors for HCC in patients. Given the sheer magnitude of the underlying risk factors(diabetes, obesity, non-cirrhotic NAFLD) screening for HCC in the non-cirrhotic population is not recommended. Optimal screening strategies in NAFLD cirrhosis are not completely elucidated with Ultrasound having significant limitations in detection of liver lesions in the presence of obesity and steatosis. Consequently NAFLD-HCC is more often diagnosed at a later stage with larger tumors and reduced opportunities for curative treatments as opposed to HCC in other causes of cirrhosis. When HCC is found at a curative stage treatments including liver transplantation, resection and loco-regional therapies are associated with good results similar to that seen in HCV-HCC. Future strategies under study include the use of chemopreventive and antioxidant agents to reduce development of cirrhosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH). Strategies to reverse NASH via weight loss, control of associated conditions like diabetes are key strategies in reducing the increasing incidence of NASH-HCC. Novel therapeutic agents for NASH are in trials and if successful in achieving reversal of NASH will be an important strategy in reducing NAFLD-HCC.

Bone metastasis from early gastric cancer following non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection

A 67-year-old male underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)to treat early gastric cancer(EGC)in 2001.The lesion(50 mm × 25 mm diameter)was histologically diagnosed as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma,with an ulcer finding.Although the tumor was confined to the mucosa with no evidence of lymphovascular involvement,the ESD was regarded as a noncurative resection due to the histological type,tumor size,and existence of an ulcer finding(as indicated by the 2010 Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines,ver.3).Despite strong recommendation for subsequent gastrectomy,the patient refused surgery.An alternative follow-up routine was designed,which included five years of biannual clinical examinations to detect and measure serum tumor markers and perform visual assessment of recurrence by endoscopy and computed tomography scan after which the examinations were performed annually.The patient's condition remained stable for eight years,until a complaint of back pain in 2010 prompted further clinical investigation.Bone scintigraphy indicated increased uptake.Histological examination of biopsy specimens taken from the lumbar spine revealed adenocarcinoma resembling the carcinoma cells from the EGC that had been treated previously by ESD,and which was consistent with immunohistochemical findings of gastrointestinal tract cancer.Thus,the diagnosis of bone metastasis from EGC was made.The reported rates of EGC recurrence in surgically resected cases range 1.4%-3.4%,but among these bone metastasis is very rare.To our knowledge,this is the first reported case of bone metastasis from EGC following a non-curative ESD and occurring after an eight-year disease-free interval.

CYFRA 21-1 as an early predictor of first line chemotherapy response in advanced non small cell lung cancer

Objective： In an era of ever evolving, promising new therapies for advanced non small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）, early predictors of response to therapy, are needed. We evaluated early variations in CYFRA 21-1 serum levels of patients with advanced NSCLC receiving first line chemotherapy and correlated the results with objective tumor response. Methods： 29 consecutive, previously untreated, patients of advanced non small cell lung cancer, with measurable disease on CT scan were evaluated. All patients were treated with conventional systemic chemotherapy, although the choice of chemotherapy was left to the discretion of the treating physicians. Serum samples were obtained immediately before the start of 1st and 2nd cycles of chemotherapy. CYFRA 21-1 was measured with an electrochemiluminescense immunoassay on an automatic analyzer （Elecsys 2000; Roche Diagnostics）. Response was evaluated using Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors （RECIST） criteria. Results： 10 patients had partial response, 9 patients had stable disease and 9 had progressive disease. None of the patients had complete response. 21/29 （72%） patients had an elevated baseline value of CYFRA 21-1.62% patients （18/29） had a decrease in CYFRA 21-1 after 1 cycle of chemotherapy. The average reduction in the 2nd reading was irrespective of whether baseline value was normal or not. The average reduction was statistically significant （P = 0.002; 95% CI, from 0.8369 to 3.49464; t test）. 8 out of 10 （80%） patients with partial response had a reduction in their 2nd reading of. CYFRA （P = 0.019; 95% CI, from 0.81965 to 7.20035; t test） which was significant. We also observed that 6/9 （66%） patients whose disease remains stable also had a decrease in their subsequent reading （P = 0.0106; 95% CI, from -0.44942 to 3.82720; t test）, though it was not significant statistically. Although 5 out of 9 （55%） patients, who had an increase in their CYFRA 21-1 level, had progressive disease, but it was not statistically significant （P = 0.537; 95% CI, from -1.20021 to 2.13354; ttest）. 14 out of 19 （73%） who either had partial response or had stable disease, had a reduction in their 2nd value of CYFRA 21-1 and was significant statistically （P = 0.004; 95% CI, from 0.74792 to 3.50208; t test）. We also observed that except for 1 patient, all patients who had a decrease of 42% or more in their subsequent CYFRA 21-1 level, were those who had either responded to chemotherapy or had stable disease （P = 0.001）, which was statistically significant. Conclusion： We can conclude that monitoring of serum marker CYFRA 21-1, early dudng first-line chemotherapy may be a useful prognostic tool for evaluation of early tumor response in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Accuracy of preoperative serum CA19-9 levels in predicting the resectability of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Objective To assess the accuracy of preoperative serum CA19-9 levels in predicting the resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.Methods Patients with biopsy-proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma who had preoperative serum CA19-9 level data were enrolled in the present retrospective analysis. Receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of CA19-9. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated at this cut-off point.Results Seventy-six patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma that was considered potentially resectable according to radiological imaging were included. Of all 76 patients, 44 received complete resection of the pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The preoperative serum CA19-9 level was significantly higher in the unresectable tumor group than in the resectable tumor group(P = 0.0036). The area under the ROC curve was 0.749(95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.637–0.842). When the cut-off value of CA19-9 was set to 359.1 U/m L, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 71.9%(95% CI: 53.3%–86.3%), 70.5%(95% CI: 54.8%–83.2%), 63.9%(95% CI: 46.0%–79.4%), and 77.5%(95% CI: 61.5%–89.2%), respectively.Conclusion The preoperative serum CA19-9 level is useful for predicting the resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
