Enhancing surgical outcomes in elderly gastric cancer patients: the role of comprehensive preoperative assessment and support. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:136. [PMID: 38778314 PMCID: PMC11112811 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03421-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the prevalence of gastric cancer rises in aging populations, managing surgical risks and comorbidities in elderly patients presents a unique challenge. The Comprehensive Preoperative Assessment and Support (CPAS) program, through comprehensive preoperative assessments, aims to mitigate surgical stress and improve outcomes by enhancing patient awareness and preparation. This study investigates the efficacy of a CPAS program, incorporating frailty and sarcopenia evaluations, to improve short-term outcomes in elderly gastric cancer patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 127 patients aged 75 or older who underwent surgery with CPAS between 2018 and August 2023, compared to 170 historical controls from 2012 to 2017. Propensity score matching balanced both groups based on age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index and surgical details. The primary focus was on the impact of CPAS elements such as rehabilitation, nutrition, psychological support, oral frailty, and social support on short-term surgical outcomes. RESULTS Among 83 matched pairs, the CPAS group, despite 40.4% of patients in the CPAS group and 21.2% in the control group had an ASA-PS score of 3 or higher (P < 0.001), demonstrated significantly reduced blood loss (100 ml vs. 190 ml, P = 0.026) and lower incidence of serious complications (19.3% vs. 33.7%, P = 0.034), especially in infections and respiratory issues. Sarcopenia was identified in 38.6% of CPAS patients who received tailored support. Additionally, the median postoperative hospital stay was notably shorter in the CPAS group (10 days vs. 15 days, P < 0.001), with no in-hospital deaths. These results suggest that personalized preoperative care effectively mitigates operative stress and postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Implementing CPAS significantly enhances surgical safety and reduces complication rates in elderly gastric cancer patients, emphasizing the critical role of personalized preoperative care in surgical oncology for this demographic.

Histopathologic response in patients with curative resection with D2 dissection following neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced gastric and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108428. [PMID: 38795679 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
AIM This study evaluated pathologic response rate, overall survival (OS), and postoperative complications in locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma patients who underwent curative gastric resection D2 lymph node dissection with neoadjuvant treatment. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 122 patients with locally advanced GC and EGJ adenocarcinoma who had neoadjuvant treatment and curative resection with D2 dissection between January 2014 and December 2022. Patients were divided into responders and nonresponders. Grades 1a-1b were responders, while 2-3 were non-responders. Patients' clinicopathological features, pathologic response rate, survival, and postoperative complications were evaluated. We assessed complications using the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification. Total survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier model. Overall survival was assessed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS The mean age of the study participants was 61 (N = 89 males; N = 33 females). There were 79 GC and 43 EGJ adenocarcinomas. Overall postoperative complications (CD ≥ II) were 27 %. Postoperative complications were similar in responders and non-responders (p = 0.316). YpT0N0 had a 2.5 % pathological complete response rate. Responders had better overall survival, but there was no statistical difference. CONCLUSIONS Both responder and non-responder groups have similar postoperative complications. A complete pathologic response is discouraging for assessing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer, but a positive treatment response is acceptable. Pathologic response rate helps stage and predict gastric cancer prognosis. Responder groups survive slightly better.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the rate of delayed emptying and other 90-day postoperative complications after total, subtotal, and distal gastrectomies for gastric adenocarcinoma in a population-based setting. METHODS This study included all patients who underwent total, subtotal, or distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Finland in 2005-2016, with follow-up until December 31, 2019. Logistic regression provided the odds ratios with 95% CIs of 90-day mortality. The results were adjusted for age, sex, year of surgery, comorbidities, pathologic stage, and neoadjuvant therapy. RESULTS A total of 2058 patients underwent total (n = 1227), subtotal (n = 450), or distal (n = 381) gastrectomy. In the total, subtotal, and distal gastrectomy groups, the rates of 90-day delayed emptying were 1.7%, 1.3%, and 2.1% in the whole cohort and 1.6%, 1.8%, and 3.5% in the subgroup analysis of R0 resections, respectively. The resection type was not associated with the risk of delayed emptying. Subtotal gastrectomy was associated with a lower risk of major complications and reoperations, whereas distal gastrectomy was associated with a lower risk of anastomotic complications. CONCLUSION The extent of resection did not affect delayed emptying, whereas fewer postoperative complications were observed after subtotal or distal gastrectomy than after total gastrectomy.

Abstract
Background: The incidence of complications in gastric cancer (GC) patients after surgery was increasing, and it was not clear whether postoperative complications would have an impact on prognosis. The current study attempted to investigate the role of postoperative complication for prognosis on GC patients undergoing radical resection. Materials and Methods: Eligible studies were searched in three databases, including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, in accordance with the searching strategy on September 4th, 2022. The survival values were most concerned; then, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled up. All prognostic values, including overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS), were allowed. Subgroup analysis based on complication types was used for further in-depth research. Results: A total of 29 studies involving 33,858 patients were included in this study. Intra-abdominal abscess (19.4%) was the most common complications in the included studies, followed by anastomotic leakage (17.0%) and pneumonia (16.4%). There were 23, 4, 6, and 10 studies that reported OS, DFS, DSS, and RFS, respectively. After analysis, postoperative complication was found to be an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 1.52, I2 = 1.14%, 95% CI = 1.42-1.61, P = .00), DFS (HR = 1.71, I2 = 0.00%,95% CI = 1.44-1.98, P < .05), DSS (HR = 1.60, I2 = 54.58%, 95% CI = 1.26-1.93, P < .1), and RFS (HR = 1.26, I2 = 0.00%, 95% CI = 1.11-1.41, P < .05). Subgroup analysis found that noninfectious complication was not significantly associated with OS (HR = 1.39, I2 = 0.00%, 95% CI = 0.96-1.82, P > .05). Conclusion: Surgeons needed to pay more attention to GC patients who developed postoperative complications, especially infectious complications, and take proactive management to improve the prognosis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with a relatively high incidence among the elderly population. Surgical resection is the mainstay treatment for GC and is currently the only cure. However, the incidence of postoperative intraabdominal infections remains high and seriously affects the prognosis. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for intraabdominal infections after radical gastrectomy in elderly patients and to establish and validate a risk prediction model. We collected the clinical data of 322 GC patients, who underwent radical gastrectomy at the General Surgery Department of China Medical University Dandong Central Hospital from January 2016 to January 2023. The patients were divided into an infected group (n = 27) and a noninfected group (n = 295) according to whether intraabdominal infections occurred postoperatively. A nomogram risk prediction model for the occurrence of postoperative intraabdominal infections was developed. All patients were randomized into a training set (n = 225) and a validation set (n = 97) in a 7:3 ratio, and the model was internally validated. Of the 322 patients, 27 (8.3%) experienced postoperative intraabdominal infections. Single-factor analysis revealed associations of intraabdominal infection with body mass index, glucose, hemoglobin, albumin, and other factors. The multifactorial analysis confirmed that body mass index, glucose, hemoglobin, albumin, surgical duration, and bleeding volume were independent risk factors for intraabdominal infections. The nomogram constructed based on these factors demonstrated excellent performance in both the training and validation sets. A nomogram model was developed and validated to predict the risk of intraabdominal infection after radical gastrectomy. The model has a good predictive performance, which could help clinicians prevent the occurrence of intraabdominal infections after radical gastrectomy in elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of postoperative complications (POCs) classified by the Clavien-Dindo (C-D) system on long-term survival after radical resection in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is not yet clear. METHODS This study analyzed 531 patients with AGC who underwent radical resection in an institution between January 2015 and December 2017. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the occurrence of POCs and recorded according to C-D classifications. The long-term survival outcomes of the entire cohort after propensity score matching (PSM) were compared. RESULTS After PSM, there was no significant difference in baseline data between the complications (C) group (n = 92) and the non-complications (NC) group (n = 92). Survival analysis showed that the 5-year overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were lower in the C group (48.9% vs 62.0%, P = .040; 38.5% vs 54.9%, P = .005; respectively). Subgroup analysis showed that severe complications (C-D grade > II) were associated with a decrease in 5-year OS and RFS compared with the matched NC group (40.0% vs 62.0%, P = .008; 29.4% vs 54.9%, P = .001; respectively). Multivariate analysis confirmed adjuvant chemotherapy, tumor size, and complications were independent risk factors for poor survival outcomes. Further multivariate analysis showed that older age, combined excision, and comorbidities were independent risk factors for POCs. CONCLUSIONS Severe complications reduced the survival outcome of patients. More attention should be paid to perioperative management of patients with high risk factors for complications.

Abstract
AIM Patients with lumbar disc surgery experience many different problems during their hospital stay. Nurses also face different challenges in providing care to them. Nonetheless, no study has yet specifically addressed these challenges to the best of our knowledge. This study aimed at exploring the challenges of nursing care for patients with lumbar discectomy. DESIGN This qualitative study was conducted in 2022 using content analysis. METHODS Eight nurses, three patients with lumbar discectomy, and one physician were purposively selected from the neurosurgery wards of the hospitals affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for data analysis and the content analysis method recommended by Elo and Kyngas was used for data analysis. The main phases of this method are open coding, grouping, categorization, and abstraction. The MAXQDA 10 software was employed to facilitate data management. Data collection continued to reach data saturation. RESULTS The challenges of nursing care for patients with lumbar discectomy were categorized into eleven subcategories and three main categories, namely dominant routine-based practice in the healthcare system, futile attempt for team-based care, and shortages as a major barrier to quality care. There are different personal, professional, financial, structural, and organizational challenges in nursing care for patients with lumbar discectomy which can negatively affect postoperative patient recovery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent advances in chemotherapy have resulted in successful conversion surgery (CS) for clinical stage (cStage) IVB gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to evaluate the success rate of CS in clinical practice and determine optimal treatment strategies. METHODS Totally, 166 patients with cStage IVB gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, who underwent chemotherapy at Hyogo Medical University Hospital between January 2017 and June 2022, were included. CS was performed after confirming tumor to be M0 based on imaging and/or staging laparoscopy, except for resectable liver metastases. Preoperative chemotherapy was continued for at least 6 months provided that adverse events were manageable. RESULTS Of 125 eligible patients, 23 were treated with CS, achieving a conversion rate of 18.4% and an R0 resection rate of 91.3%. The median duration of preoperative chemotherapy was 8.5 months; the median number of cycles was eight. The highest conversion rate was observed in patients receiving first-line treatment (14.4%), followed by those receiving second and third lines (5.8% and 2.3%, respectively). The median survival time in patients who received CS was significantly longer than that in patients who continued chemotherapy alone (56.7 versus 16 months, respectively, P < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the 3-year overall survival between the patients who achieved CS after first-line treatment (63.2%, n = 18) and those who achieved CS after second- or third-line treatment (66.7%, n = 5). CONCLUSION Consistent chemotherapy strategies could lead to successful CS and improved prognosis in a greater number of patients with cStage IVB GC, regardless of line of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Retroperitoneal tumor resection commonly disturbs major vessels; therefore, surgical teams can recruit vascular surgeons to prevent injuries and improve the prognosis of oncologic patients. The objective of the present study is to establish long-term survival after retroperitoneal tumor resection surgery with an emphasis on the potential impact of preventing or repairing major vessel injuries when tumors are adjacent to the aorta or vena cava. METHODS Retrospective case series including all cases of surgical removal of retroperitoneal tumors between 2007 and 2020 in a highly specialized hospital in Mexico City. Long-term survival was defined as 5 years after surgical intervention. Descriptive statistics, group-comparison tests, and regression analysis were performed using Stata 16. RESULTS From a total of 70 cases, vascular injury occurred in 30 (42.8%) and the vascular surgeon intervened in 19 (27.1%) of them, 4 (21%) were performed by a vascular surgeon with planned intervention, and in 9 (47.3%) cases the vascular surgeon was called to join the surgery due to emergency. Intraoperative bleeding was 2-fold greater in the group with an emergent participation of vascular surgery in contrast with the planned intervention group (4, 235 mL vs 2, 035 mL, p = 0.04). The regression model revealed a significant association between the intervention of a vascular surgeon and long-term survival (OR 59.3, p = 0.03) after adjusting for sociodemographic and characteristics of oncologic nature. CONCLUSIONS Planned intervention of vascular surgeons in retroperitoneal tumor resection may have a positive impact not only in trans-operatory period, but also on long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of major postoperative complications (POCs) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains ill-defined. We sought to analyze the relationship between POCs and outcomes relative to lymph node metastases (LNM) and tumor burden score (TBS). METHODS Patients who underwent resection of ICC between 1990-2020 were included from an international database. POCs were defined according to Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ 3. The prognostic impact of POCs was estimated relative to TBS categories (i.e., high and low) and lymph node status (i.e., N0 or N1). RESULTS Among 553 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for ICC, 128 (23.1%) individuals experienced POCs. Low TBS/N0 patients who experienced POCs presented with a higher risk of recurrence and death (3-year cumulative recurrence rate; POCs: 74.8% vs. no POCs: 43.5%, p = 0.006; 5-year overall survival [OS], POCs 37.8% vs. no POCs 65.8%, p = 0.003), while POCs were not associated with worse outcomes among high TBS and/or N1 patients. The Cox regression analysis confirmed that POCs were significant predictors of poor outcomes in low TBS/N0 patients (OS, hazard ratio [HR] 2.91, 95%CI 1.45-5.82, p = 0.003; recurrence free survival [RFS], HR 2.42, 95%CI 1.28-4.56, p = 0.007). Among low TBS/N0 patients, POCs were associated with early recurrence (within 2 years) (Odds ratio [OR] 2.79 95%CI 1.13-6.93, p = 0.03) and extrahepatic recurrence (OR 3.13, 95%CI 1.14-8.54, p = 0.03), in contrast to patients with high TBS and/or nodal disease. CONCLUSIONS POCs were independent, negative prognostic determinants for both OS and RFS among low TBS/N0 patients. Perioperative strategies that minimize the risk of POCs are critical to improving prognosis, especially among patients harboring favorable clinicopathologic features.

J Gastrointest Oncol 2023; 14:64-72.

Abstract
Background Post-operative complications are the main contributing factor to increased length of stay, increased cost of care and short-term mortality experienced by patients following gastrectomy. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting complications following gastrectomy. This may assist clinicians to make better informed clinical decisions in the post-operative period. Methods A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was performed. Sixty patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer were included. Demographic information, operative data and post-operative details such as complications, unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission and readmission to hospital were analysed. Complications were further analysed based on whether they were either infective or non-infective in nature. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to examine the association between CRP and post-operative morbidity. Optimum cut-offs were determined using the Youden's index. Results From the second post-operative day (POD), CRP levels were able to predict subsequent severe infective (SI) complications following gastrectomy [area under the curve (AUC): 0.789, 95% CI : 0.636-0.941]. An optimum cut-off of 180 mg/L resulted in a sensitivity of 87.50%. The negative predictive value (NPV) at this point was 96.30%. Conclusions CRP is a strong negative predicter of SI complications following gastrectomy. This suggests early CRP values may be useful in prompting early investigation or facilitating safer, earlier discharge from hospital. Health services may benefit by determining similar cut-offs based on their own unique patient populations.

Relationship between laparoscopic total gastrectomy-associated postoperative complications and gastric cancer prognosis. Updates Surg 2023; 75:149-158.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the incidence and prognosis of postoperative complications after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for gastric cancer (GC). We retrospectively enrolled 411 patients who underwent curative LTG for GC at seven institutions between January 2004 and December 2018. The patients were divided into two groups, complication group (CG) and non-complication group (non-CG), depending on the presence of serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III [≥ CD IIIa] or higher complications). Short-term outcomes and prognoses were compared between two groups. Serious postoperative complications occurred in 65 (15.8%) patients. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the median operative time, intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph nodes harvested, or pathological stage; however, the 5-year overall survival (OS; CG 66.4% vs. non-CG 76.8%; p = 0.001), disease-specific survival (DSS; CG 70.1% vs. non-CG 76.2%; p = 0.011), and disease-free survival (CG 70.9% vs. non-CG 80.9%; p = 0.001) were significantly different. The Cox multivariate analysis identified the serious postoperative complications as independent risk factors for 5-year OS (HR 2.143, 95% CI 1.165-3.944, p = 0.014) and DSS (HR 2.467, 95% CI 1.223-4.975, p = 0.011). A significant difference was detected in the median days until postoperative recurrence (CG 223 days vs. non-CG 469 days; p = 0.017) between the two groups. Serious postoperative complications after LTG negatively affected the GC prognosis. Efforts to decrease incidences of serious complications should be made that may help in better prognosis in patients with GC after LTG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications generally aggravate postoperative prognosis and are correlated with both cancer-specific death and death from other causes. METHODS Subjects were 197 patients who underwent gastrectomy at Kyoto Chubu Medical Center. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and non-CSS (NCSS) were compared between cases with and without complications. Major complications were classified into C-com and N-com groups based on their prognostic impact on CSS and NCSS, respectively. Uni- and multivariate analyses were conducted using clinicopathological factors. RESULTS During the study period, 30 patients (15.2%) died from gastric cancer and 34 (17.3%) died from other causes. The incidence of postoperative complications was 16.8%. Sixteen patients with anastomosis leakage, pancreatic fistula, or organ/space surgical site infection had significantly poorer CSS, whereas 30 patients with pneumonia or passage obstruction had significantly poorer NCSS. These were defined as C-com and N-com cases, respectively. In the uni- and multivariate analyses, C-com was a significant prognostic factor for CSS (p = 0.002, p = 0.039) and N-com was a significant prognostic factor for NCSS (p < 0.0001, p = 0.004). C-reactive protein levels indicated intermediate and severe inflammation in N-com and C-com cases, respectively. CONCLUSION In N-com cases, surgical stress caused disruption of essential organ function, whereas damage in C-com cases occurred mostly in the abdominal cavity but was a risk for cancer regrowth. Thus, different postoperative complications worsen patient prognosis after gastrectomy in different ways. To optimize surgical outcomes, improved selection of treatment strategies for different complication types may be important.

Effect of Perioperative Blood Transfusions and Infectious Complications on Inflammatory Activation and Long-Term Survival Following Gastric Cancer Resection. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 15:cancers15010144. [PMID: 36612141 PMCID: PMC9818188 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15010144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications on postoperative changes of inflammatory markers, as well as on disease-free survival (DFS) in patients undergoing curative gastric cancer resection. Methods: Multicenter cohort study in all patients undergoing gastric cancer resection with curative intent. Patients were classified into four groups based on their perioperative course: one, no blood transfusion and no infectious complication; two, blood transfusion; three, infectious complication; four, both transfusion and infectious complication. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was determined at diagnosis, immediately before surgery, and 10 days after surgery. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship of perioperative group and dynamic changes of NLR with disease-free survival. Results: 282 patients were included, 181 in group one, 23 in group two, 55 in group three, and 23 in group four. Postoperative NLR changes showed progressive increase in the four groups. Univariate analysis showed that NLR change > 2.6 had a significant association with DFS (HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.06−2.26; p = 0.025), which was maintained in multivariate analysis (HR 1.67; 95% CI 1.14−2.46; p = 0.009). Perioperative classification was an independent predictor of DFS, with a progressive difference from group one: group two, HR 0.80 (95% CI: 0.40−1.61; p = 0.540); group three, HR 1.42 (95% CI: 0.88−2.30; p = 0.148), group four, HR 2.85 (95% CI: 1.64−4.95; p = 0.046). Conclusions: Combination of perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications following gastric cancer surgery was related to greater NLR increase and poorer DFS. These findings suggest that perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications may have a synergic effect creating a pro-inflammatory activation that favors tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Background The development process of gastrointestinal anastomosis is from complex to simple, from two layers to one layer, from extramucosal anastomosis to seromuscular anastomosis. With the rapid development of anastomosis instruments, the anastomosis process becomes more and more convenient. However, relevant studies have shown that related complications such as anastomotic leakage still occur. This study sought to investigate the feasibility and safety of seromuscular layer sutures in the reinforcement of esophagojejunostomy after open radical total gastrectomy. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy after open radical total gastrectomy at The Third Department of Surgery, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from April 2019 to May 2020. The inclusion criteria of patients were between 18 and 80 years old; pathology confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma; preoperative imaging showed no distant metastasis and did not receive neoadjuvant therapy; no complex infectious diseases; no blood transfusion was performed before operation. A total of 192 patients were included according to the inclusion criteria. They were divided into the following 2 groups based on whether seromuscular layer suturing of the anastomosis was performed: (I) group A (the simple anastomosis group, n=76); (II) and group B (the seromuscular layer suture group, n=116). The baseline data, surgical data and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results All patients underwent esophagojejunostomy Roux-en-Y anastomosis after open radical total gastrectomy, and no perioperative deaths occurred. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups. Group B had an earlier time to liquid diet than group A (4.23±0.76 vs. 4.57±0.58 days, P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage in group B (1.72%) was lower than that in group A (9.21%), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.03). The incidence of pleural effusion was lower in group B (15.52%) than group A (32.89%), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.005). Conclusions Compared to the simple anastomosis, seromuscular layer sutures after esophagojejunostomy may decrease the rates of postoperative anastomotic leakage and pleural effusion. This suture method is feasible and may provide a new option to increase surgical safety.

Abstract
Despite advances in surgical techniques, surgical morbidity and mortality remain important public health problems. Postoperative complications often lead to greater morbidity and mortality, as well as increased length of hospital stay and medical costs. Therefore, a reduction in postoperative complications is particularly important with regard to positive long-term outcomes in patients with cancer. To improve patients’ postoperative prognosis, it is necessary to screen for and focus on modifiable risk factors and their subsequent resolution. Recently, it was reported that nutritional status, inflammation and surgical approaches are related to postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, in this review article, we describe the current evidence regarding modifiable risk factors influencing surgical morbidity and mortality as well as future directions for improved postoperative management in cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The frailty was associated with the worse surgical outcomes and poor prognosis in several cancers. Therefore, we aimed to identify the usefulness of nutrition and exercise intervention (NEI) in frailty patients with GC. METHODS We analyzed 58 frailty patients with GC who underwent radical surgery. Among these, 15 patients were performed NEI by nutritional and rehabilitation support team. We compared the surgical outcomes between NEI and non-NEI groups with frailty patients and evaluated the nutrition and rehabilitation markers in pre- and post-NEI groups. RESULTS The postoperative complication of NEI groups was 6.7% and less than that of non-NEI groups (p = 0.08). The mean postoperative hospital stay of NEI groups was 13.0 ± 1.0 days for NEI groups and significantly shorter than that of non-NEI groups (p = 0.03). The NLR was 4.3 ± 0.6 for pre-NEI and significantly improved by NEI between pre- and post-NEI (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION We identified the clinical importance of NEI for improving the surgical outcomes in frailty patients with GC. Our findings highlight the potential clinical impact of optimizing treatment strategies to select and manage the frailty patients.

Senne M, Werner CR, Schempf U, Thiel K, Königsrainer A, Wichmann D. Comparison of Two Endoscopic Therapeutic Interventions as Primary Treatment for Anastomotic Leakages after Total Gastrectomy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14122982. [PMID: 35740645 PMCID: PMC9220783 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14122982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary An esophagojejunal anastomotic leak after oncological gastrectomy is a life-threatening complication. Endoscopic treatment offers the possibility of minimally invasive diagnosis and immediate effective therapy in one session. A retrospective, single-center analysis of two different endoscopic strategies as first-line treatment options was performed. Abstract Introduction: An esophagojejunal anastomotic leak following an oncological gastrectomy is a life-threatening complication, and its management is challenging. A stent application and endoscopic negative pressure therapy are possible therapeutic options. A clinical comparison of these strategies has been missing until now. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 14 consecutive patients endoscopically treated for an anastomotic leak after a gastrectomy between June 2014 and December 2019 was performed. Results: The mean time of the diagnosis of the leakage was 7.14 days after surgery. Five patients were selected for a covered stent, and nine patients received endoscopic negative pressure therapy. In the stent group, the mean number of endoscopies was 2.4, the mean duration of therapy was 26 days, and the mean time of hospitalization was 30 days. In patients treated with endoscopic negative pressure therapy, the mean number of endoscopies was 6.0, the mean days of therapy duration was 14.78, and the mean days of hospitalization was 38.11. Treatment was successful in all patients in the stent-based therapy group and in eight of nine patients in the negative pressure therapy group. Discussion: Good clinical results in preserving the anastomosis and providing sepsis control was achieved in all patients. Stent therapy resulted in anastomosis healing with a lower number of endoscopies, a shorter time of hospitalization, and rapid oral nutrition.

Development of a staging system and survival prediction model for advanced gastric cancer patients without adjuvant treatment after curative gastrectomy: A retrospective multicenter cohort study. Int J Surg 2022; 101:106629. [PMID: 35460886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2022.106629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) after curative gastrectomy is the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma in East Asia; however, for various reasons, some patients do not receive this treatment. The aim of this study was to develop a system that reflects the survival rate of patients who do not receive AC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A modified tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system was developed based on the overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy without AC at Seoul St. Mary's hospital. A survival prediction model was developed based on the modified staging system and risk factors for OS, which were examined using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The model was internally validated for the power of prediction and discrimination, compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual 8th edition; it was externally validated using data from two other tertiary teaching hospitals. RESULTS Of the 185 patients in the development set, the 5-year OS rates for modified stages IIA, IIB, IIC, IIIA, and IIIB were 80.2%, 74.0%, 56.7%, 50.0%, and 25.0%, respectively; the median OS intervals for modified stages IIIC and IIID were 21.0 and 11.0 months, respectively. Age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, and postoperative complications were significantly associated with OS. The concordance index (0.768 vs. 0.686), Akaike Information Criterion (745.88 vs. 794.84), and estimated area under the curve (0.7567 vs. 0.6655) were all superior for the prediction model, compared with the AJCC TNM stage. For the validation set of 157 patients, the model performed better for the prediction and discrimination of OS. CONCLUSION The newly developed survival prediction model improves the accuracy of OS prediction for stage II and III gastric cancer patients without AC after curative gastrectomy.

Surgical site infection after laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer is associated with compromised long-term oncological outcome. World J Surg Oncol 2022; 20:111. [PMID: 35387666 PMCID: PMC8988355 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-022-02578-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We evaluated the influence of infectious complications, particularly surgical site infection (SSI), on long-term oncological results after elective laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 199 patients who underwent laparoscopic elective resection with negative resection margins for stage I–III colorectal cancer were retrospectively examined. The postoperative course was recorded based on hospital records, and cancer relapse was diagnosed based on radiological or pathological findings under a standardized follow-up program. The severity of complications was graded using Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification. Results SSI was found in 25 patients (12.6%), with 12 (6.0%) showing anastomotic leak. The postoperative relapse-free survival (RFS) rate was significantly lower in patients with SSI (49.2%) than in patients without SSI (87.2%, P<0.001). Differences in RFS were found after both colectomy and rectal resection (P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). RFS did not differ between patients who had major SSI CD (grade III) and those who had minor SSI CD (grades I or II). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified the occurrence of SSI and pathological stage as independent co-factors for RFS (P<0.001 and P=0.003). Conclusion These results suggest that postoperative SSI compromises long-term oncological results after laparoscopic colorectal resection. Further improvements in surgical technique and refinements in perioperative care may improve long-term oncological results.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aims to explore the safety of preoperative chemotherapy and clarify whether preoperative chemotherapy with oxaliplatin + S-1 (SOX) regimen and its adverse events are associated with higher risks of postoperative complications. Methods: We included consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy in our department between July 1 2018, and January 31 2020. Patients with preoperative SOX regimen chemotherapy were included in the analysis. Results: In the 343 included patients, 77 cases underwent preoperative chemotherapy. In total, surgical complications were found in 117 patients (34.1%), and there was no significant difference between the patients with and without preoperative chemotherapy before and after propensity score matching (p > 0.05, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative comorbidities (p = 0.026) and the preoperative cT4b (p = 0.028) were independent risk factors in postoperative complications. In patients with preoperative chemotherapy, neither the occurrence of adverse events nor their severity was associated with postoperative complications (p > 0.05). However, the patients who received five to six cycles were more prone to postoperative complications than those who received three to four cycles (62.5 vs. 27.9%, OR = 4.306, 95% Cl = 1.282-14.464, p = 0.018). Conclusions: Occurrence of postoperative complications was not influenced by preoperative SOX chemotherapy. However, increased cycles of chemotherapy may lead to higher incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reoperation due to elective surgery complications is very mentally, physically, and economically detrimental to patients. This study investigated the potential risk factors associated with early reoperation after radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients and included an in-depth analysis of these risk factors. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed 1568 patients with gastric cancer. Grade 3 or greater complications were defined as severe. Any factors related to reoperation after radical gastrectomy were analyzed in patients with severe local complications. RESULTS Among 1537 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy, 115 (7.5%) patients had severe postoperative complications, 98 (6.38%) of whom experienced severe local complications. The most common local complication was anastomotic leakage (31, 2.02%), followed by intra-abdominal abscess (30, 1.95%), pancreatic leakage (22, 1.43%), duodenal stump leakage (18, 1.17%), intra-abdominal bleeding (12, .78%), intraluminal bleeding (8, .52%), small bowel obstruction (5, .32%), and chyle leakage (3, .19%). Of these patients, 26 (1.69%) underwent reoperation, and 6 (.39%) died. In the univariate analysis of clinical factors related to reoperation, intra-abdominal bleeding and small bowel obstruction were risk factors for reoperation, and intra-abdominal bleeding (odds ratio [OR] = 9.57, confidence interval [CI] = 2.65-40.20, P < .001) and small bowel obstruction (OR = 19.14, CI = 2.60-390.13, P = .011) were independent risk factors associated with reoperation in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Intra-abdominal bleeding and small bowel obstruction are independent risk factors for reoperation following radical gastrectomy. Patients with postoperative intra-abdominal bleeding and small bowel obstruction need to be warned about reoperation.

Prognostic factors of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer: Does robotic gastrectomy bring oncological benefit? World J Gastroenterol 2021; 27:6659-6672. [PMID: 34754159 PMCID: PMC8554404 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v27.i39.6659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and surgical resection remains the sole curative treatment for gastric cancer. Minimally invasive gastrectomy including laparoscopic and robotic approaches has been increasingly used in a few decades. Thus far, only a few reports have investigated the oncological outcomes following minimally invasive gastrectomy.
AIM To determine the 5-year survival following minimally invasive gastrectomy for gastric cancer and identify prognostic predictors.
METHODS This retrospective cohort study identified 939 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer during the study period. After excluding 125 patients with non-curative surgery (n = 77), other synchronous cancer (n = 2), remnant gastric cancer (n = 25), insufficient physical function (n = 13), and open gastrectomy (n = 8), a total of 814 consecutive patients with primary gastric cancer who underwent minimally invasive R0 gastrectomy at our institution between 2009 and 2014 were retrospectively examined. Accordingly, 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method with the log-rank test and Cox regression analyses, while factors associated with survival were determined using multivariate analysis.
RESULTS Our analysis showed that age > 65 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 3, total or proximal gastrectomy, and pathological T4 and N positive status were independent predictors of both 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival. Accordingly, the included patients had a 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival of 80.3% and 78.2%, respectively. Among the 814 patients, 157 (19.3%) underwent robotic gastrectomy, while 308 (37.2%) were diagnosed with pathological stage II or III disease. Notably, our findings showed that robotic gastrectomy was an independent positive predictor for recurrence-free survival in patients with pathological stage II/III [hazard ratio: 0.56 (0.33-0.96), P = 0.035]. Comparison of recurrence-free survival between the robotic and laparoscopic approach using propensity score matching analysis verified that the robotic group had less morbidity (P = 0.005).
CONCLUSION Age, ASA status, gastrectomy type, and pathological T and N status were prognostic factors of minimally invasive gastrectomy, with the robot approach possibly improving long-term outcomes of advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complication and its etiology on long-term survival for gastric cancer (GC) patients with curative resection. METHODS From January 2009 to December 2014, a total of 1,667 GC patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy were analyzed. Patients with severe complications (SCs) (Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications or those causing a hospital stay of 15 days or longer) were separated into a "complication group." Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to reveal the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival. A 2:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline parameters between the two groups. RESULTS SCs were diagnosed in 168 (10.08%) patients, including different etiology: infectious complications (ICs) in 111 (6.66%) and non-infectious complications (NICs) in 71 (4.26%) patients. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of SCs (P=0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, and further analysis by complication type demonstrated that the deteriorated overall survival was mainly caused by ICs (P=0.004) rather than NICs (P=0.068). After PSM, patients with SCs (p=0.002) still had a significantly decreased overall survival, and the presence of ICs (P=0.002) rather than NICs (P=0.067) showed a negative impact on long-term survival. CONCLUSION Serious complications, particularly of an infectious type, may have a negative impact on overall survival of GC patients. However, additional multicenter prospective studies with larger sample size are required to verify this issue.

Abstract
Background The effect of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and prognosis in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer has been controversial. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative complications and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer through meta-analysis method, providing new ideas for the prognosis study of patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods From databases establishment to April 2021, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, WanFang Data, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) to collect cohort studies on the effect of sarcopenia on postoperative complications or prognosis of gastric cancer. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies and Revman 5.3 software was used for the meta-analysis. Result A total of 20 studies (11 prospective cohort studies and 9 retrospective cohort studies) involving 7615 patients were finally included. Meta-analysis showed that: 1) preoperative sarcopenia significantly increased the risk of overall complications (risk ratio[RR] =2.89, 95% confidence interval[CI]: 1.86, 4.49; P < 0.000 01), serious complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III, RR = 3.01, 95% CI: 1.73, 5.23; P < 0.000 01), pneumonia (RR =2.64, 95% CI: 1.71, 4.09; P < 0.0001), and obstruction (RR = 3.96, 95% CI: 2.27, 6.90; P < 0.000 01), but did not increase the risk of postoperative delayed gastric emptying (RR = 1.44, 95% CI: 0.63, 3.25; P = 0.38), intra-abdominal infection (RR =2.09, 95% CI: 0.88, 5.00; P = 0.10), and anastomotic leakage (RR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.69, 2.32; P = 0.45); 2) preoperative sarcopenia reduced the overall survival rate (HR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.53, 1.91; P < 0.00001). Conclusion Preoperative sarcopenia increased the risk of postoperative complications and reduced the overall survival rate of patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Therefore, for patients with gastric cancer, preoperative risk assessment and active intervention for sarcopenia are necessary to reduce the risk of postoperative complications and improve poor prognosis. Future studies should focus on the effect of preoperative sarcopenia on the quality of life after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Survival outcomes of adjuvant taxanes, platinum plus fluoropyrimidines versus platinum and fluoropyrimidines for gastric cancer patients after D2 gastrectomy: a retrospective propensity score-matched analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2021; 19:272. [PMID: 34507562 PMCID: PMC8434742 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-021-02390-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate whether the addition of taxanes to platinum and fluoropyrimidines in adjuvant chemotherapy would result in longer survival than platinum plus fluoropyrimidines in gastric cancer patients who received D2 gastrectomy. METHODS Data of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who received D2 gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy with platinum plus fluoropyrimidines or taxanes, platinum plus fluoropyrimidines was retrospectively collected and analyzed. 1:1 Propensity score matching analysis was used to balance baseline characteristics between two groups. Survival curves were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences were compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS Four hundred twenty-five patients in the platinum plus fluoropyrimidines group and 177 patients in the taxanes, platinum plus fluoropyrimidines group were included into analysis. No statistical differences in disease-free survival and overall survival were observed between two groups. After propensity score matching, 172 couples of patients were matched, the baseline characteristics were balanced. The median disease-free survival were 15.8 months (95% CI, 9.3~22.4) in the platinum plus fluoropyrimidines group and 22.6 months (95% CI, 15.9~29.4) in the taxanes, platinum plus fluoropyrimidines group (HR = 0.63; 95% CI, 0.48~0.85; P = 0.002). The median overall survival was 25.4 months for patients in the platinum plus fluoropyrimidines group (95% CI, 19.4~31.3) and 33.8 months (95% CI, 23.5~44.2) for those in the taxanes, platinum plus fluoropyrimidines group (HR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.53-0.87; log-rank test, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS For gastric adenocarcinoma patients, the adjuvant triplet combination of taxanes, platinum, and fluoropyrimidines regimen after D2 gastrectomy was superior to platinum plus fluoropyrimidines regimen in disease-free survival as well as overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have demonstrated that diverse systemic inflammatory-based prognostic parameters predict a poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. However, few studies have focused on the relationships between postoperative complications and systemic inflammatory-based prognostic parameters after curative gastrectomy. We investigated the relationships between postoperative complications and these parameters and assessed the clinical utility of the parameters as predictors of postoperative complications in patients with stage I-III gastric cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 300 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for stage I-III gastric cancer. All postoperative complications were classified as infectious or noninfectious. We evaluated the relationships between postoperative complications and clinical factors, including systemic inflammatory-based prognostic parameters. RESULTS In total, 101 patients (33.7%) had postoperative Clavien-Dindo grade II-IV complications, and 54 (18.0%) patients developed infectious complications including pancreatic fistula, pneumonia, anastomotic leak, intra-abdominal abscess, and cholecystitis. The relationships between postoperative complications and systemic inflammatory-based prognostic parameters were evaluated by the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves. Postoperative pneumonia was identified as the most sensitive complication to the systemic inflammatory-based prognostic parameters. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (odds ratio, 14.621; 95% confidence interval, 1.160-184.348; p = 0.038) was an independent predictor of pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio may be a useful predictor of postoperative pneumonia in patients with stage I-III gastric cancer after curative gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although para-aortic lymph node (PALN) metastasis from gastric cancer is a non-curative lesion, gastrectomy with complete PALN dissection (PAND) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a tentative standard treatment in Japan, based on the results of a small-scale phase II clinical trial. However, whether complete PAND (C-PAND) is always necessary for such diseases is open to debate. METHODS Patients who received NAC followed by R0 gastrectomy for gastric cancer with clinical PALN metastasis at the Cancer Institute Hospital in Tokyo from 2005 to 2017 were reviewed in the present study. We assessed surgical findings and long-term outcomes. RESULTS In total, 44 patients receiving gastrectomy with C-PAND (n = 22) or limited PAND (L-PAND; n = 22) were included. Operation time was significantly longer in the C-PAND than in the L-PAND groups (363 min vs. 271 min, P = 0.037). There was no difference between the two groups in the ypStage classification and pattern of recurrence. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) curves were higher in the L-PAND group than the C-PAND group, without reaching a significant difference. The 5-year OS (42.9% vs. 75.7%, p = 0.017) and RFS (14.3% vs. 48.6%, p = 0.002) were significantly worse in the group of three or more, than in the group of less than three pathological PALN metastasis, whereas increasing numbers of harvested PALN were not associated with improved survival. CONCLUSIONS Curative gastrectomy with L-PAND following NAC for gastric cancer involving PALN may be an alternative treatment to C-PAND.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether vascular calcification is a risk factor for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods Patients with confirmed gastric cancer were collected from the database of a single clinical center from January 2013 to January 2019. The calcification score and anastomotic leakage were recorded, and predictors of anastomotic leakage were analyzed. Results A total of 856 patients were included in this study; 818 patients had no anastomotic leakage, and 38 patients had anastomotic leakage. The ratio of hypertension status (p=0.011), open gastrectomy (p=0.012), postoperative length of stay (p=0.000), aorta calcification score (p=0.000) and celiac axis calcification (p=0.000) were higher in the anastomotic leakage group than in the nonanastomotic leakage group. In multivariate analysis, aorta calcification (p=0.029, odds ratio =2.425, 95% CI=1.095–5.491) was an independent predictor of the anastomotic leakage. Conclusion Aorta calcification is an independent risk factor for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Until now, little is known about the benefit of laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the LTG versus the open total gastrectomy (OTG) approach after NACT treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods This study involved a cohort of 145 patients with AGC who underwent total gastrectomy after NACT at our centre between April 2013 and August 2018 including 24 cases of LTG and 121 OTG. The baseline characteristics were matched based on 1:2 balanced propensity score-matching method. Results Sixty-nine marched cases were finally analysed (23 LTG vs. 46 OTG). All patients underwent R0 resection. Compared to the OTG group, the LTG group had a longer surgery duration (P<0.001), but a shorter incision length (P<0.001) and less intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) time after surgery (P=0.027). No statistical differences were observed in terms of blood loss, retrieved lymph nodes (LNs), resection margin, length of stay, postoperative pain intensity, and complications (P>0.05). Conclusions LTG had comparable safety and histological findings to OTG after NACT in the perioperative period; however, LTG is less invasive and patients can benefit from less IV-PCA use. Further research is needed to investigate long-term effects. Keywords Gastric cancer (GC); neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT); safety; laparoscopic technique.

Abstract
Whether gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) patients with adjacent organ invasion (T4b) benefit from aggressive surgery involving pancreatic resection (PR) remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the impact of PR on survival in patients with locally advanced resectable GC. Between 1995 and 2017, patients with locally advanced GC undergoing radical-intent gastrectomy with and without PR were enrolled and stratified into four groups: group 1 (G1), pT4b without pancreatic resection (PR); group 2 (G2), pT4b with PR; group 3 (G3), positive duodenal margins without Whipple's operation; and group 4 (G4), cT4b with Whipple's operation. Demographics, clinicopathological features, and outcomes were compared between G1 and G2 and G3 and G4. G2 patients were more likely to have perineural invasion than G1 patients (80.6% vs. 50%, p < 0.001). G4 patients had higher lymph node yield (40.8 vs. 31.3, p = 0.002), lower nodal status (p = 0.029), lower lymph node ratios (0.20 vs. 0.48, p < 0.0001) and higher complication rates (45.2% vs. 26.3%, p = 0.047) than G3 patients. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were significantly longer in G1 than in G2 (28.1% vs. 9.3%, p = 0.003; 32% vs. 13%, p = 0.004, respectively). The 5-year survival rates did not differ between G4 and G3 (DFS: 14% vs. 14.4%, p = 0.384; OS: 12.6% vs. 16.4%, p = 0.321, respectively). In conclusion, patients with T4b lesion who underwent PR had poorer survival than those who underwent resection of other adjacent organs. Further Whipple's operation did not improve survival in pT3-pT4 GC with positive duodenal margins.

Abstract
Perioperative medicine is a patient-centered, multidisciplinary and integrated clinical practice that starts from the moment of contemplation of surgery until full recovery. Every perioperative phase (preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative) must be studied and planned in order to optimize the entire patient management. Perioperative optimization does not only concern a short-term outcome improvement, but it has also a strong impact on long term survival. Clinical cases variability leads to the collection and analysis of a huge amount of different data, coming from multiple sources, making perioperative management standardization very difficult. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play a primary role in this challenge, helping human mind in perioperative practice planning and decision-making process. AI refers to the ability of a computer system to perform functions and reasoning typical of the human mind; Machine Learning (ML) could play a fundamental role in presurgical planning, during intraoperative phase and postoperative management. Perioperative medicine is the cornerstone of surgical patient management and the tools deriving from the application of AI seem very promising as a support in optimizing the management of each individual patient. Despite the increasing help that will derive from the use of AI tools, the uniqueness of the patient and the particularity of each individual clinical case will always keep the role of the human mind central in clinical and perioperative management. The role of the physician, who must analyze the outputs provided by AI by following his own experience and knowledge, remains and will always be essential.

Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes Following Transhiatal versus Right Thoracoabdominal Resection of Siewert Type II Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction. Cancer Manag Res 2020; 12:11813-11821. [PMID: 33244264 PMCID: PMC7683889 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s275569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Few studies have evaluated the outcomes of transhiatal and right thoracoabdominal resection of Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. This study investigated the relative effect of these two methods in the surgical treatment of Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. Methods Clinical data for 211 Siewert type II cancer patients were collected and classified into transhiatal group (n = 181) and right thoracoabdominal group (n = 30) according to surgical approach. Short-term outcomes were compared between these two groups. A 1:1 propensity score matching was performed using a logistic regression model. Recurrence-free survival and overall survival were compared between the matched groups. Results The right thoracoabdominal group had significantly greater intraoperative blood loss and longer operative time compared with transhiatal group. Complications corresponding to Clavien–Dindo grade III or higher were 4.4% in transhiatal group and 30% in right thoracoabdominal group (P < 0.05). The right thoracoabdominal group exhibited greater blood loss, longer operative time, longer hospitalization, and a smaller number of lymph nodes retrieved than the transhiatal group as evidenced by PSM analysis, and patients in transhiatal group also experienced significantly better survival than patients in right thoracoabdominal group. Conclusion In this study, the transhiatal approach was associated with more favorable short-term and oncological outcomes than the right thoracoabdominal group approach for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. The transhiatal approach with total gastrectomy appears to be an optional choice for this type of tumor, especially for esophagus invasion ≤2 cm. Well-designed randomized control trials are necessary to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for gastric cancer, however, it bears a high postoperative morbidity and mortality rate. A recent randomized control trial proposed prehabilitation to reduce the postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Currently, there is a lack of evidence of using prehabilitation for patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The aim of our study is to demonstrate that home-based prehabilitation can reduce postoperative morbidity after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS PREFOG is a multi-center, open-label randomized control trial comparing 90-days postoperative morbidity rate after gastrectomy for gastric cancer between patients with or without prehabilitation. One-hundred twenty-eight patients will be randomized into an intervention or control group. The intervention arm will receive trimodal home-based prehabilitation including nutritional, psychological and exercise interventions. Secondary outcomes of the study will include physical and nutritional status, anxiety and depression level, quality of life, postoperative mortality rates and full completion of the oncological treatment as determined by the multidisciplinary tumor board. DISCUSSION PREFOG study will show if home-based trimodal prehabilitation is effective to reduce postoperative morbidity after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Moreover, this study will allow us to determine whether prehabilitation can improve physical fitness and activity levels, nutritional status and quality of life as well as reducing anxiety and depression levels after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Risk factors and long-term impact of urologic complications during radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer in China, 2004-2016. Gynecol Oncol 2020; 158:294-302. [PMID: 32507516 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2020.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to describe the incidence and risk factors of urologic complications during radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. The secondary objective was to investigate the impact of urologic complications on long-term survival. METHODS Patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer from 2004 to 2016 were identified in the MSCCCC (Major Surgical Complications of Cervical Cancer in China) database. Data on demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, hospital characteristics and urologic complications were collected. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the risk factors of urologic complications and Cox proportional hazards models were performed to identify prognostic factors. RESULTS A total of 21,026 patients undergoing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer were identified. The incidence of any urologic complications was 1.54%: 83 (0.39%) ureteral injuries, 17 (0.08%) bladder injuries, 1 (0.005%) ureteral injury combined with bladder injury, and 223 (1.05%) genitourinary fistulas. In a multivariable analysis, surgery at a women and children's hospital (OR = 2.26, 95% CI 1.47-3.48), surgery at a facility in a first-tier city (OR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.24-3.48), and laparoscopic surgery (OR = 4.68, 95% CI 3.44-6.36) were associated with a higher risk of urologic complications. Cox proportional hazards models revealed that the occurrence of urologic complications was a significant predictor of 2-year overall survival (OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.09-2.92), but was not a predictor of 5-year overall survival (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 0.83-1.94). CONCLUSION The incidence of urologic complications during radical hysterectomy is low. The risk of urologic complications may be higher for patients who are treated at a women and children's hospital, are treated in first-tier city hospitals, and receive laparoscopic surgery. Urologic complications have an impact on short-term survival, but not on long-term survival.
