Repeat hepatectomy for recurrent colorectal liver metastases: A comparative analysis of short- and long-term results. Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2022; 21:162-167. [PMID: 34526231 DOI: 10.1016/j.hbpd.2021.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver recurrence after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is frequent. Repeat hepatectomy has been shown to have satisfactory perioperative results. However, the long-term outcomes and the benefits for patients with early recurrence have not been clarified. The aim of this study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing single hepatectomy and repeat hepatectomy for CRLM. Additionally, the oncological outcomes of patients with early (≤ 6 months) and late recurrence who underwent repeat hepatectomy were compared. METHODS Consecutive adult patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM between June 2000 and February 2020 were included and divided into two groups: single hepatectomy and repeat hepatectomy. RESULTS A total of 709 patients were included: 649 in the single hepatectomy group and 60 in the repeat hepatectomy group. Patients in the repeat hepatectomy group underwent more cycles of preoperative chemotherapy [4 (3-6) vs. 3 (2-4), P = 0.003]. Patients in the single hepatectomy group more frequently underwent major hepatectomies (34.5% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.004) and had a greater number of lesions resected (2.9 ± 3.6 vs. 1.9 ± 1.8, P = 0.011). There was no increase in operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, complications, or mortality in the repeat hepatectomy group. There were no differences in overall survival (P = 0.626) and disease-free survival (P = 0.579) between the two groups. Similarly, for patients underwent repeat hepatectomy, no difference was observed between the early and late recurrence groups in terms of overall survival (P = 0.771) or disease-free survival (P = 0.350). CONCLUSIONS Repeat hepatectomy is feasible and safe, with similar short- and long-term outcomes when compared to single hepatectomy. Surgical treatment of early liver recurrence offers similar oncological outcomes to those obtained for late recurrence.

Significance of preoperative nutritional status as a predictor for short-term and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for stage IV colorectal cancer. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:2391-2398. [PMID: 34196790 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02255-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical impact of the preoperative nutritional status has not fully been understood in an aggressive surgical approach for stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS The clinical records of 399 patients with stage IV CRC who underwent surgery for the primary tumor were reviewed. The predictive powers of reported nutritional/inflammatory indices of postoperative morbidity were compared, and their correlations with both the short- and long-term outcomes were investigated. RESULTS Among the 10 tested nutritional/inflammatory indices, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score showed the highest performance for predicting major morbidity (area under the curve [AUC], 0.605; P = 0.067) and any morbidity (AUC, 0.605; P = 0.001). When stratifying the population into 4 undernutrition grades based on the CONUT score, the CONUT undernutrition grades were found to show good correlations with the Clavien-Dindo grades of postoperative morbidity (P < 0.001) and the length of hospital stay (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed the CONUT undernutrition grade was significantly associated with the survival outcomes in patients with stage IV CRC (light: hazard ratio [HR], 1.12; 95% CI, 0.80-1.58; moderate: HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.02-2.33; severe: HR, 3.61; 95% CI, 1.52-8.62). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative nutritional status is a useful predictive marker for both the short- and long-term outcomes of surgical interventions for stage IV CRC.

Progressive Oncological Surgery Is Associated with Increased Curative Resection Rates and Improved Survival in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11020218. [PMID: 30769860 PMCID: PMC6406820 DOI: 10.3390/cancers11020218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2019] [Revised: 02/07/2019] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Secondary resection rates in first-line chemotherapy trials for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remain below 15%, representing a clear contrast to reports by specialised surgical centres, where progressive liver, peritoneal-surface, and pulmonary surgery increased access to curative-intent treatment. We present a long-term evaluation of oncosurgical management in a single-centre, analysing the aggregate effect of gradual implementation of surgical subspecialties and systemic treatments on mCRC patients’ resection rates and prognosis. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed mCRC from 2003 to 2014 were retrospectively categorised into palliative treatment (PAT) and curative intent surgery (CIS) and three time periods were analysed for treatment changes and factors associated with survival. Results: Four hundred-twenty patients were treated (PAT:250/CIS:170). Over time periods, the number of presenting patients remained consistent, whereas curative resection rates increased from 29% to 55%, facilitated by an increment of patients undergoing hepatectomy (21 to 35%), pulmonary surgery (6 to 17%), and peritonectomy/intraoperative chemotherapy (0 to 8%). Also, recently, significantly more multi-line systemic treatments were applied. The median survival markedly improved from 21.9 months (2003–2006; 95% confidence interval (CI) 17.3–26.5) to 36.5 months (2011–2014; 95% CI 26.6–46.4; p = 0.018). PAT was a significant factor of poor survival and diagnosis of mCRC in the latest time period was independently associated with a distinctly lower risk for palliative treatment (odds ratio 0.15). Conclusions: In modern eras of medical oncology, achieving appropriate resection rates through utilization of state-of-the-art oncological surgery by dedicated experts represents a cornerstone for long-term survival in mCRC.

Abstract
PURPOSES Postoperative complications are associated with poor overall and cancer-specific survival after resection of various types of cancer, including primary colorectal cancer. However, the oncological impact of surgical site infection (SSI) after liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the oncological impact of SSI after liver resection for CLM. METHODS We reviewed data from 367 consecutive patients treated by curative liver resection for CLM between 1994 and 2015. Patients who underwent simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases (n = 86) were excluded from the analysis. Short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS SSI developed in 18 (6.4%) of the 281 patients in the analytic cohort (SSI group). The remaining 93.6% (n = 263) did not suffer this complication (no-SSI group). The operative duration was significantly longer in the SSI group than in the No-SSI group (p = 0.002). The overall survival rates 5 years after liver resection for CLM were 33.3% in the SSI group vs. 50.7% in the No-SSI group (p = 0.043). Multivariate analysis indicated that a liver tumor size ≥ 5 cm, R1 resection, and SSI were independently associated with overall survival after liver resection. CONCLUSIONS SSI after liver resection for CLM is associated with adverse oncological outcomes.

Comparative diagnostic accuracy of hepatocyte-specific gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MR imaging and contrast enhanced CT for the detection of liver metastases: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Colorectal Dis 2016; 31:1739-1749. [PMID: 27682648 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-016-2664-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/19/2016] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and impact on patient management of hepatocyte-specific gadoxetic acid enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (GA-MRI) compared to contrast enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) in patients with liver metastases. METHOD Four biomedical databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, York CRD) were searched from January 1991 to February 2016. Studies investigating the accuracy or management impact of GA-MRI compared to CE-CT in patients with known or suspected liver metastases were included. Bias was evaluated using QUADAS-II. Univariate meta-analysis of sensitivity ratios (RR) were conducted in the absence of heterogeneity, calculated using I 2 , Tau values (τ) and prediction intervals. RESULTS Nine diagnostic accuracy studies (537 patients with 1216 lesions) and four change in management studies (488 patients with 281 lesions) were included. Per-lesion sensitivity and specificity estimates for GA-MRI ranged from 86.9-100.0 % and 80.2-98.0 %, respectively, compared to 51.8-84.6 % and 77.2-98.0 % for CE-CT. Meta-analysis found GA-MRI to be significantly more sensitive than CE-CT (RR = 1.29, 95 % CI = 1.18-1.40, P < 0.001), with equivalent specificity (RR = 0.97, 95 % CI 0.910-1.042, P = 0.44). The largest difference was observed for lesions smaller than 10 mm for which GA-MRI was significantly more sensitive (RR = 2.21, 95 % CI = 1.47-3.32, P < 0.001) but less specific (RR = 0.92, 95 % CI 0.87-0.98, P = 0.008). GA-MRI affected clinical management in 26 of 155 patients (16.8 %) who had a prior CE-CT; however, no studies investigated the consequences of using GA-MRI instead of CE-CT. CONCLUSION GA-MRI is significantly more sensitive than CE-CT for detecting liver metastases, which leads to a modest impact on patient management in the context of an equivocal CE-CT result.

Abstract
PURPOSES Repeat hepatectomy remains the only curative treatment for recurrent colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) after primary hepatectomy. However, the repeat resection rate is still low, and there is insufficient data on the outcomes after repeat hepatectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and prognostic benefit of aggressive repeat hepatectomy for recurrent CLM. METHODS Data were reviewed from 282 consecutive patients who underwent primary curative hepatectomy for CLM between January 1994 and March 2015. The short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS One hundred ninety-three patients (68 %) developed recurrence, and repeat hepatectomy was conducted in 62 patients. Overall, 62 s, 11 third, 4 fourth, and 1 fifth hepatectomies were performed. The postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were low (11.5 and 1.3 %, respectively). The overall survival rates at 3 and 5 years after primary hepatectomy for CLM in the repeat hepatectomy group were 79.5 and 57.4 %, respectively. A multivariate analysis indicated that postoperative complications were independently associated with overall survival after repeat hepatectomy. CONCLUSIONS Repeat hepatectomy for CLM is feasible, with acceptable rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality, and the potential for long-term survival. However, postoperative complications following aggressive repeat hepatectomy for CLM are associated with adverse oncological outcomes.
