Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of lymph node (LN) dissection at each station have not previously been fully investigated in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) and distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC). METHODS The efficacy index (EI) was calculated in patients who underwent surgery for PHCC (n = 134) and DCC (n = 135) by multiplying the frequency of metastasis to the LN station and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of patients with metastasis to that station. RESULTS In PHCC, the frequency of metastasis, 5-year OS rates, and the EI in para-aortic LNs (4.7%, 0%, and 0, respectively) and posterior pancreaticoduodenal LNs (8.1%, 0%, and 0, respectively) were lower than those in hepatoduodenal ligament LNs (30.1%, 24.1%, and 7.25, respectively) and LNs along the common hepatic artery (CHA) (16.2%, 15.0%, and 2.43, respectively). In DCC, these values were lower in LNs along the CHA (6.4%, 0%, and 0, respectively) than in the posterior pancreaticoduodenal LNs (31.2%, 34.5%, and 10.8, respectively), the hepatoduodenal ligament LNs (14.8%, 15.2%, and 2.25, respectively), and para-aortic (4.0%, 25.0%, and 0.99, respectively) LNs. CONCLUSIONS According to the EI, this study raises concerns about the effectiveness of dissection in the posterior pancreaticoduodenal LNs in PHCC and LNs along the CHA in DCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to develop a predictive score for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) in patients without lymph node metastasis (LNM) using preoperative factors. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 113 ICC patients who underwent liver resection with systemic lymph node dissection between 2002 and 2021 was conducted. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used as a predictive scoring system for node-negative patients based on the β coefficients of preoperatively available factors. RESULTS LNM was observed in 36 patients (31.9%). Four factors were associated with LNM: suspicion of LNM on MDCT (odds ratio [OR] 13.40, p < 0.001), low-vascularity tumor (OR 6.28, p = 0.005), CA19-9 ≥500 U/mL (OR 5.90, p = 0.010), and tumor location in the left lobe (OR 3.67, p = 0.057). The predictive scoring system was created using these factors (assigning 3 points for suspected LNM on MDCT, 2 points for CA19-9 ≥500 U/mL, 2 points for low vascularity tumor, and 1 point for tumor location in the left lobe). A score cutoff value of 4 resulted in 0.861 sensitivity and a negative predictive value of 0.922 for detecting LNM. Notably, no patients with peripheral tumors and a score of ≤3 had LNM. CONCLUSION The developed scoring system may effectively help identify ICC patients without LNM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of the distance from the root of splenic artery to tumor (DST) on the prognosis and optimal surgical procedures in the patients with pancreatic body/tail cancer has been unclear. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 94 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP) and 17 patients who underwent DP with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) between 2008 and 2018. RESULTS The 111 patients were assigned by DST length (in mm) as DST = 0: n = 14, 0 CONCLUSIONS DST did not affect prognosis in patients with pancreatic body/tail cancer. Neoadjuvant therapy followed by DP may be desirable for patients with a DST = 0 tumor. For those with a 0

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although surgical resection is generally suggested for nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, observation can be proposed for carefully selected patients with small tumors. However, the indications for observation remain unclear. METHODS This retrospective study included 77 patients with nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, including small tumors (≤2.0 cm, n = 41), who received pancreatectomy. The ratio of the mean computed tomography value of a tumor in the late arterial/equilibrium phase (computed tomography a/e ratio) was used to evaluate tumor vascularity. Pathologic examinations of small tumors were conducted. The associations among the computed tomography a/e ratio, pathologic findings, and survival outcomes were investigated. RESULTS Small tumors were pathologically categorized by the degree of fibrosis as follows: medullary (n = 20), intermediate (n = 11), and fibrotic (n = 10). The fibrotic type had significantly lower computed tomography a/e ratios than the medullary type (median, 1.42 vs 2.03, P < .001). The median number of vessels with microscopic venous invasion was significantly higher in the fibrotic type than in the medullary type (4.5 vs 0.0, P < .001). The cutoff value of the computed tomography a/e ratio for predicting microscopic venous invasion was determined to be 1.54 by the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve, 0.832; sensitivity, 80.0%; specificity, 83.9%; accuracy, 82.9%). Microscopic venous invasion was an independent prognostic factor for relapse-free survival in overall patients (hazard ratio 5.18, P = .017). CONCLUSION The computed tomography a/e ratio may be a useful predictor of the metastatic potential of nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and may help decide the indications of observation for small nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Abstract
Background Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with duodenal cancer (DC). However, the efficacy and optimal extent of lymph node (LN) dissection have not been thoroughly discussed. Methods A total of 98 consecutive patients with DC who underwent surgical resection (pancreatoduodenectomy, n = 55; partial resection, n = 32; pancreas-sparing total duodenectomy, n = 9) were retrospectively analyzed. The LN stations located upstream of the lymphatic flow were defined as Np stations according to tumor location, whereas the others were defined as Nd stations. The association between the dissection of each LN station and survival outcome was investigated using the efficacy index (EI; percentage of metastases to lymph nodes in each station multiplied by the 5-year survival rate of metastatic cases). Results The survival of patients with LNM at the Nd stations (n = 6) was significantly worse than that of patients with LNM only at the Np stations (n = 20) (relapse-free survival, median survival time [MST], 6.0 vs. 48.4 months, p < 0.001; overall survival, MST, 15.1 vs. 96.0 months, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified LNM at Nd stations as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (hazard ratio 9.92; p = 0.015). The Np stations had a high EI (range, 8.34-20.88), whereas the Nd stations had an EI of 0, regardless of the tumor location. Conclusions LN dissection of the Np stations contributed to acceptable survival, whereas LNM of the Nd stations led to poor survival, possibly reflecting advanced tumor progression to systemic disease in patients with DC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal perioperative antimicrobial agent for preventing surgical site infection (SSI) in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) remains unclear. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 288 patients who underwent PD after PBD between 2010 and 2020 at our institution. Patients were classified into two groups according to the perioperative antimicrobial agent used (cefazoline [CEZ] group [n = 108] and ceftriaxone [CTRX] group [n = 180]). The incidence of SSI, type of bacteria in intraoperative bile culture (IBC), and antimicrobial susceptibility to prophylactic antimicrobial agents were analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of incisional SSI was significantly lower in the CTRX group than in the CEZ group (18% vs. 31%, P = 0.021), whereas the incidence of organ/space SSI in the two groups did not differ to a statistically significant extent (35% vs. 44%, P = 0.133). Gram-negative rod (GNR) bacteria in the IBC showed better antimicrobial susceptibility in the CTRX group than in the CEZ group. In multivariate analysis, antimicrobial resistance due to GNR was a significant risk factor for incisional SSI (odds ratio, 3.50; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CTRX had better antimicrobial coverage than CEZ for GNR cultured from intraoperative bile samples. In addition, CTRX provides better antimicrobial prophylaxis than CEZ against superficial SSI in patients with PD after PBD. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This study was not a clinical trial and had no registration numbers.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive cancer types, and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 has been the most useful biomarker for its surveillance and prognosis prediction. However, CA19-9 may not be sufficiently prognostic in some patients, such as Lewis antigen-negative phenotype (Le[a-b-]) patients who secrete little or no CA19-9. Duke pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 (DUPAN-2) has been proposed as a complementary marker to CA19-9 in PC patients, but its utility in Le(a-b-) patients has only been reported in a limited number of cases. In a retrospective analysis of 224 PC patients who underwent surgery, the present study investigated the utility of DUPAN-2 in combination with CA19-9. The study subjects were divided into three groups based on their CA19-9 and DUPAN-2 levels. The normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2 group had significantly larger tumors and a higher frequency of microscopic vascular invasion, perineural invasion, and recurrence than the normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2 group. Both the disease-free survival and disease-specific survival (DSS) of patients in the normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2 group were significantly shorter than those in the normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2 group, and comparable with those in the high CA19-9 group. The results suggest that DUPAN-2 may be useful as a complementary biomarker to CA19-9 in PC, especially in patients who have normal CA19-9 levels. However, since this was a single-center, retrospective study, multicenter studies are needed to confirm the findings and determine the optimal cut-off value for patients with normal CA19-9 levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the clinical implication of Duke pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 (DUPAN-2) for patients with pancreatic cancer (PC), especially those with normal carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels. METHODS The study reviewed 224 patients who underwent surgery for PC from January 2003 through December 2019 at the Shizuoka Cancer Center. The patients were divided into three groups according to the following CA19-9 and DUPAN-2 levels: normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2, normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2, and high CA19-9. The prognostic utility of the DUPAN-2 levels in the normal CA19-9 patients was investigated. RESULTS Elevated serum levels of DUPAN-2 were observed in 29 (25.2%) of the normal CA19-9 patients. The cutoff value for serum DUPAN-2 level was set at 250 U/ml. Both disease-free survival and disease-specific survival (DSS) in the normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2 group were significantly shorter than in the normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2 group and comparable with those in the high CA19-9 group. In the normal CA19-9 group, DUPAN-2 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for DSS. The patients with normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2 had higher pathologic malignancy than the patients with normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2, which was comparable with that in the patients with high CA19-9. CONCLUSION In PC, DUPAN-2 may be useful as a biomarker complementary with CA19-9. The combination of these two markers may aid in the preoperative prediction of prognosis for patients with PC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in the hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) surgical setting in order to validate RFS as a surrogate endpoint. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Reliable surrogate endpoints for OS are still limited in the field of HBP surgery. METHODS We analyzed patients who underwent curative resection for HBP disease (986 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDAC], 1168 with biliary tract cancer [BTC], 1043 with hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC], and 1071 with colorectal liver metastasis [CRLM]) from September 2002 to June 2022. We also conducted meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy to validate the surrogacy in PDAC and BTC. RESULTS Correlation coefficients between RFS and OS were low for HCC (ρ = 0.67) and CRLM (ρ = 0.53) but strong for PDAC (ρ = 0.80) and BTC (ρ = 0.75). In a landmark analysis, the concordance rates between survival or death at 5 years postoperatively and the presence or absence of recurrence at each time point (1, 2, 3, and 4 y) were 50%, 70%, 74%, and 77% for PDAC and 54%, 67%, 73%, and 78% for BTC, respectively, both increasing and reaching a plateau at 3 years. In a meta-analysis, the correlation coefficients for the RFS hazard ratio and OS hazard ratio in PDAC and BTC were ρ = 0.88 (P < 0.001) and ρ = 0.87 (P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION Three-year RFS can be a reliable surrogate endpoint for OS in clinical trials of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for PDAC and BTC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small bowel cancer (SBC) is a rare malignancy that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Palliative chemotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with metastatic SBC. The relevant literature on conversion surgery in patients who have responded favorably to chemotherapy is limited. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with jejunal carcinoma with multiple peritoneal metastases. After implanting an expandable metallic stent at the primary site, the patient underwent 6 months of FOLFOX therapy, resulting in a clinical complete response. Chemotherapy was continued, and four years after the initiation of therapy, the patient showed no evidence of disease progression. Nevertheless, anemia of continuous minor hemorrhages from the stent site and general malaise of chemotherapy got progressively worse during treatment. After confirming negative ascites cytology and the absence of peritoneal metastasis via staging laparoscopy, the patient underwent partial jejunectomy. Pathologically, no residual tumor was detected in the resected specimen. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained free of recurrence for 30 months after surgery without chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Although infrequent, conversion surgery may be a valid therapeutic option for selected cases of SBC with peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clostridium perfringens sepsis has been reported to have a rapid onset and severe clinical outcome. We herein report a case of C. perfringens sepsis associated with massive intravascular hemolysis after left hepatic trisectionectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 72-year-old woman underwent left hepatic trisectionectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Her postoperative course was uneventful except for bile leakage. She was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 35. On POD 54, she was readmitted because of abdominal pain with a high fever. Although her vital signs were stable on arrival at the hospital, a laboratory examination showed a severe inflammatory reaction and hemolysis, and she had developed disseminated intravascular coagulation. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a 70-mm irregular shape and low-density containing air in liver segment 6, which suggested a liver abscess. The abscess was immediately drained of pus containing air. The pus showed multiple Gram-positive bacilli, and two blood cultures showed Gram-positive bacilli and hemolysis. Empirical antibiotic therapy with vancomycin and meropenem was started because C. perfringens was detected from the preoperative bile culture. Four hours after arrival, tachypnea and decreased oxygen saturation were observed. Her general condition deteriorated rapidly with significant hypoglycemia, progressive acidosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Despite rapid drainage and empiric therapy, she died six hours after her arrival. At autopsy, the abscess consisted of coagulation necrosis of liver cells with inflammatory cell infiltration, and clusters of Gram-positive large bacilli were observed in the necrotic debris. C. perfringens was detected in the drainage fluid and blood culture. She was diagnosed with a liver abscess and severe sepsis caused by C. perfringens and treated promptly, but the disease progressed rapidly and led to her death. CONCLUSIONS Sepsis caused by C. perfringens can progress rapidly and lead to death in a few hours, so prompt treatment is needed. When patients who have undergone highly invasive hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery show hemolysis and hepatic abscesses with gas, C. perfringens should be considered the most likely bacterium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare disease characterized by a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and the production of coagulation factor VIII inhibitors. We encountered two cases of AHA in the perioperative period of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). CASE PRESENTATION Case 1: A 76-year-old woman with intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma developed acute cholecystitis 5 days before PD. Despite immediate improvement in her acute cholecystitis with biliary drainage and antibiotics, her aPTT level was prolonged (55.9 s). PD was performed as scheduled. On postoperative day (POD) 2, she developed intra-abdominal hemorrhaging that required reoperation. However, intra-abdominal bleeding and concomitant anemia persisted after reoperation. On POD 13, she was diagnosed with AHA based on the detection of an inhibitor of coagulation factor VIII. Despite hemostatic and immunosuppressive treatment, including massive blood transfusion, her general condition gradually worsened due to continuous bleeding and secondary infections. She ultimately died of multiple organ failure on POD 71. Case 2: An 82-year-old man received PD for distal cholangiocarcinoma. On POD 3, a small amount of blood via abdominal drainage was observed. On POD 4, his aPTT level was prolonged (61.5 s). On POD 8, subcutaneous hemorrhaging of the median wound was observed, and corticosteroids were administered under suspicion of AHA on POD 9. On POD 15, an inhibitor of FVIII was detected, and he was diagnosed with AHA. On POD 17, the aPTT level had normalized, and an inhibitor of FVIII was undetectable. On POD 41, he was discharged without any serious hemorrhagic events. CONCLUSIONS AHA may be more frequent than previously reported. When unexplained prolonged aPTT or bleeding symptoms are observed, it is important to keep AHA in mind during the perioperative period of invasive surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The significance of resection for pancreatic cancer with positive peritoneal lavage cytology (CY +) remains controversial, and the lack of evidence concerning adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in these patients remains an issue. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prognostic impacts of AC and its duration on the survival outcome in patients with CY + pancreatic cancer. METHODS A total of 482 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreatectomy between 2006 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS) was compared among the patients with CY + tumors according to the duration of AC. RESULTS Among the resected patients, 37 (7.7%) had CY + tumors: 13 received AC for > 6 months, 15 received AC for ≤ 6 months and 9 did not receive AC. The OS of 13 patients with resected CY + tumors who received AC for > 6 months was comparable to that of 445 patients with resected CY- tumors (median survival time 43.0 vs. 33.6 months, P = 0.791), and was significantly better than that of 15 patients with resected CY + tumors who received AC for ≤ 6 months (vs. 16.6 months, P = 0.017). The duration of AC (> 6 months) was an independent prognostic factor in patients with resected CY + tumors (hazard ratio 3.29, P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Long-term AC (> 6 months) may improve postoperative survival in pancreatic cancer patients with CY + tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small intestine carcinoma (SIC) cases in Japan have recently been treated with chemotherapy according to colorectal carcinoma classification, while papilla of Vater carcinoma (PVC) cases according to cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) classification. However, few research reports support the molecular genetic validity of these therapeutic choices. PATIENTS AND METHODS Here, we investigated the clinicopathological and molecular genetic factors of SIC and PVC. We used the data from the Japanese version of The Cancer Genome Atlas. Additionally, molecular genetic data on gastric adenocarcinoma (GAD), colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRAD), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and CHC were also referred to. RESULTS This study consisted of tumor samples from 12 patients of SIC and three patients of PVC treated from January 2014 to March 2019. Among them, six patients had pancreatic invasion. t-Distributed stochastic neighbor embedding analysis showed that the gene expression pattern of SIC was similar not only to those of GAD and CRAD, but also to that of PDAC in the pancreatic invasion patients. In addition, PVC resembled the GAD, CRAD, and PDAC, rather than the CHC. The molecular genetic characteristics of the six patients with pancreatic invasion were: one had high microsatellite instability, two had a TP53 driver mutation, and three had tumor mutation burden values <1 mutation/Mb with no driver mutation. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the extensive gene expression profiling of organ carcinomas newly suggests that SIC or PVC may resemble GAD, CRAD, and PDAC. In addition, the data demonstrate that pancreatic invasive patients may be classified into several subtypes using molecular genetic factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE An animal model of laparoscopic hepatectomy showed that bleeding from the hepatic vein is influenced by airway pressure. However, there are little research reports on how airway pressure leads to risks in clinical practice. The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative forced expiratory volume % in 1 s (FEV1.0%) on intraoperative blood loss in laparoscopic hepatectomy. METHODS All patients who underwent pure laparoscopic or open hepatectomy from April 2011 to July 2020 were classified into two groups by preoperative spirometry: those with obstructive ventilatory impairment (obstructive group; FEV1.0% < 70%) and those with normal respiratory function (ormal group; FEV1.0% ≥ 70%). Massive blood loss was defined as 400 mL for laparoscopic hepatectomy. RESULTS In total, 247 and 445 patients underwent pure laparoscopic and open hepatectomy, respectively. Regarding laparoscopic hepatectomy group, blood loss was significantly greater in the obstructive group (122 vs. 100 mL, P = 0.042). Multivariate analysis revealed that high IWATE criteria which classify the surgical difficulty of laparoscopic hepatectomy (≥ 7, odds ratio (OR): 4.50, P = 0.004) and low preoperative FEV1.0% (< 70%, OR: 2.28, P = 0.043) were independent risk factors for blood loss during laparoscopic hepatectomy. In contrast, FEV1.0% did not affect the blood loss (522 vs. 605 mL, P = 0.113) during open hepatectomy. CONCLUSION Obstructive ventilatory impairment (low FEV1.0%) may affect the amount of bleeding during laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Abstract
In pancreatic cancer (PC), Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has been reported to be lower than in other cancers, with its clinical significance remaining unclear. We analyzed the dataset of whole-exome sequencing and gene expression profiling of 93 resected PC cases. The median TMB was 0.24. The TMB was classified as High (≥ 5.0), Low (< 5.0, ≥ 1.0), or Ultra-low (< 1.0). Nineteen samples (20%) were classified as TMB-low, and 74 (80%) were classified as TMB-ultra-low; no samples were TMB-high. TMB-ultra-low PC had significantly fewer borderline resectable lesions (P = 0.028) and fewer adenosquamous carcinomas (P = 0.003) than TBM-low PC. Furthermore, the TMB-ultra-low PC showed significantly lower detection rates of driver mutations and copy number variations. Microsatellite instability was not significantly correlated with the TMB status. The TMB-ultra-low PC had a significantly better prognosis than TBM-low PC (P = 0.023). A multivariate analysis identified TMB-ultra-low PC as an independent favorable prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 2.11; P = 0.019). A gene expression analysis showed that TMB-ultra-low PC was associated with reduced TP53 inactivation (P = 0.003) and reduced chromosomal instability (P = 0.001) compared to TBM-low PC. TMB-ultra-low PC had specific gene expression signatures and a better prognosis than TMB-low PC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study investigated the incidence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) after hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection (BDR) and elucidated risk factors for POP. METHODS A total of 257 patients undergoing hepatectomy with BDR between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the incidence of POP, defined by the Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ II. The predictive factors for POP were identified using logistic regression analysis of the pre- and intraoperative evaluable factors. RESULTS Postoperative pneumonia developed in 15 patients (5.8%), diagnosed as grade IV or V in five patients. In a multivariate analysis, a vital capacity ratio (%VC) <80% (odds ratio [OR] 7.30, P = .005), age ≥ 74 years old (OR 5.39, P = .026), and future liver volume remnant (FLR) ratio ≤ 40% (OR 4.97, P = .045) were independent risk factors for POP. Among patients with performing spirometry, the incidence of developing POP was 1.0%, 8.8%, and 60% in patients with 0, 1-2, and 3 risk factors, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of POP in patients undergoing hepatectomy with BDR was 5.8%. A %VC <80%, age ≥74 years old, and FLR ratio ≤40% were identified as preoperative predictive factors of developing POP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary liver cancer (PLC) is classified into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and combined hepatocellular and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CHC). We investigated the genomic landscape of PLC according to the histological classification and established a cross-histological molecular subtyping for PLC by a multi-omics analysis. METHODS We analyzed 265 PLC cases with whole-exome sequencing and DNA copy number analyses and 251 cases with gene expression profiling. RESULTS The cohort included HCC (n = 223, 84%), ICC (n = 34, 13%), and CHC (n = 8, 3%). Mutation analyses identified histological type-specific driver genes, such as CTNNB1 in HCC and KRAS, IDH1, and PIK3CA in ICC, and ARID1A and KMT2C in CHC. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 mutation was detected in 21.1% of HCC, 16.1% of ICC, and 25.0% of CHC cases. Other well-characterized tumor suppressor genes included RB1, which was mutated in 2.8% of HCC and 3.2% of ICC; and PTEN, which was mutated in 1.4% of HCC, 3.2% of ICC, and 12.5% of CHC cases. DNA copy number analyses identified focal amplifications, with NUF2 (1q23.3) the most frequently detected as an amplified gene in all 3 types (HCC, 3.8%; CHC, 12.5%, ICC, 3.2%). Molecular subtyping for PLC based on the multi-omics analysis identified three subtypes, one of which was associated with recurrence after resection and amplified genes located at chromosome 8q. CONCLUSIONS Our dataset serves as a fundamental resource for genomic medicine for PLC in Japan and identified amplified genes located at chromosome 8q as promising therapeutic targets for the subgroup with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare vascular disorder of the liver, and acute and secondary BCS is even rarer. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old man with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma of Bismuth type IIIa underwent right hemi-hepatectomy with caudate lobectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was performed due to a positive hepatic ductal margin. Subsequently, the disease passed without recurrence. The patient visited for acute onset abdominal pain at the 32nd postoperative month. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) showed stenosis of the left hepatic vein (LHV) root, which was the irradiated field, and thrombotic occlusion of the LHV. The patient was diagnosed with acute BCS caused by adjuvant radiotherapy. Although anticoagulation therapy was performed, the patient complained of sudden upper abdominal pain again. MDCT showed an enlarged LHV thrombus and hepatomegaly. The patient was diagnosed with exacerbated acute BCS, and stenting for the stenotic LHV root was performed with a bare stent. Although stenting for the LHV root was very effective, restenosis occurred twice due to thrombus in the existing stent, so re-stenting was performed twice. The subsequent clinical course was acceptable without recurrence or restenosis of the LHV root as of 6 months after the last stenting using a stent graft. CONCLUSION Although no case of BCS caused by radiotherapy has yet been reported, the present case showed that late side effect of radiotherapy can cause hepatic vein stenosis and secondary BCS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary disease of Trousseau's syndrome is often highly advanced cancer, and treatment of the primary disease after cerebral infarction is often difficult. We herein report a case of pancreatic head cancer with Trousseau's syndrome treated with radical resection and anticoagulant therapy. CASE PRESENTATION A 78-year-old man was admitted with dizziness and diagnosed with cerebral infarction. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography for a thorough checkup indicated borderline resectable pancreatic head cancer. Radical resection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC; gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel) was scheduled. During the second course of NAC, multiple cerebral infarctions recurred, and the patient was diagnosed with Trousseau's syndrome. Continuous intravenous infusion of heparin was started for cerebral infarction. Since it was impossible to continue NAC and there was no worsening of imaging findings, radical resection was planned. Thereafter, he underwent pancreatoduodenectomy with superior mesenteric vein resection. The patient progressed well and was discharged on the 19th day after surgery. He continued subcutaneous injection of heparin at home and is alive without recurrence of cancer or cerebral infarction at more than 21 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Surgical treatment may be an option for pancreatic cancer with Trousseau's syndrome under favorable conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The middle hepatic vein (MHV) is an important landmark in anatomical hemihepatectomy. The proximity between the MHV and the hilar plate was suspected to be associated with tumor exposure during left hemihepatectomy for advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and is reported to facilitate a dorsal approach to the MHV during laparoscopic hemihepatectomy. However, the precise distance between these locations is unknown. METHODS To investigate the "accurate and normal" distance between the MHV and the hilar plate, the present study focused on patients who presented without perihilar tumor. One hundred and sixty-eight consecutive patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy were included. Retrospective radiological measurement was performed using preoperative multi-detector row CT. The optimized CT slices perpendicular to the MHV were made using the multiplanar reconstruction technique. The shortest distance between the MHV and the hilar plate was measured on the left and right sides on the perpendicular slices. The diameters of the left and right hepatic ducts were also measured. RESULTS The distance was 9.0 mm (1.9-20.0 mm) on the left side and 11.3 mm (2.3-21.8) on the right side (p < 0.001). The distance on the left side was < 10 mm in 60% of patients (n = 100). Only one-third of patients (n = 55) had a distance of ≥ 10 mm on both sides. As the hepatic ducts became more dilated, the distance from the MHV to the hilar plate became shorter. CONCLUSION The MHV was located in close proximity to the hepatic hilus, especially on the left side.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vascular resection (VR) is extended surgery to attain a negative radial margin (RM) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC). The present study explored the significance of VR for DCC, focusing on VR, RM, and findings suggestive of vascular invasion on multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS Patients with DCC who underwent resection between 2002 and 2019 were reviewed. RESULTS Among 230 patients, 25 received VR. The overall survival (OS) in the VR group was significantly worse than in the non-VR group (16.7% vs. 50.7% at 5 years, P < 0.001). Patients who underwent VR with a negative RM failed to show a better OS than those who did not undergo VR with a positive RM (19.7% vs. 35.7% at 5 years, P = 0.178). Of the 30 patients who were suspected of having vascular invasion on MDCT, 11 did not receive VR because the vessels were freed from the tumor; these patients had a significantly better OS (57.9% at 5 years) than those who underwent VR. CONCLUSIONS VR for DCC was associated with a poor prognosis, even if a negative RM was obtained. VR is not necessary for DCC when the vessels are detachable from the tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Recently, a decrease in skeletal muscle, termed sarcopenia, has been reported to be associated with poorer survival of patients in several types of cancer. However, few studies have investigated the association between sarcopenia and the survival of patients with gallbladder cancer. METHODS A total of 88 patients undergoing curative resection for advanced gallbladder cancer were included in this study. The quality of skeletal muscle was assessed by the intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC), and the quantity of skeletal muscle was assessed by the psoas muscle index (PMI), measured on preoperative computed tomography. The optimum cutoff values for IMAC and PMI for predicting the overall survival in each sex were determined using a minimum p value approach. Clinicopathological factors, IMAC and PMI were retrospectively analyzed to identify the predictors of overall survival (OS). RESULTS The cutoff values for IMAC were -0.3 in males and 0.04 in females. The numbers of patients with low IMAC and high IMAC were 42 and 46, respectively. The cutoff values for PMI were 7.3 cm2/m2 in males and 5.0 cm2/m2 in females. The numbers of patients with low PMI and high PMI were 22 and 66, respectively. A multivariate analysis revealed that pT stage (pT3/4, hazard ratio [HR] = 6.72, p = 0.004), high IMAC (HR = 4.12, p < 0.001), Bile duct infiltration (present, HR = 2.82, p = 0.046), high age (≥72 years old, HR = 2.64, p = 0.010), major hepatectomy (performed, HR = 2.50, p = 0.031) and pN1/2 (HR = 2.17, p = 0.010) as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION IMAC was independent prognostic factor for resected advanced gallbladder cancer, so the quality of skeletal muscle more strongly predicted survival than the quantity of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Aim This study was undertaken to evaluate the long-term outcomes of staged liver resection for synchronous liver metastases (SLM) from colorectal cancer (CRC), and to elucidate the prognostic impact and predictors of early recurrence (ER), which was defined as recurrence within 6 mo. Methods Patients with SLM from CRC, except for initially unresectable SLM, from January 2013 to December 2020 were included. First, overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) after staged liver resection were evaluated. Second, eligible patients were classified as follows: patients who were unresectable after resection of CRC (UR), patients with ER, and patients without ER (non-ER), and their OS after resection of CRC were compared. In addition, risk factors for ER were identified. Results The 3-y OS and RFS rates after resection of SLM were 78.8% and 30.8%, respectively. Next, the eligible patients were classified as follows: ER (N = 24), non-ER (N = 56), and UR (N = 24). The non-ER group had a significantly better OS than the ER (3-y OS: 89.7% vs 48.0%, P = .001) and UR (3-y OS: 89.7% vs 61.6%, P < .001) groups, while there was no significant difference between the ER and UR groups in OS (3-y OS: 48.0% vs 61.6%, P = .638). Increasing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) before and after resection of CRC was identified as an independent risk factor for ER. Conclusion Staged liver resection for SLM from CRC was feasible and useful for oncological evaluation, as changes in CEA could predict ER, which was associated with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Background Multiple mutation (MM) within a single gene has recently been reported as a mechanism involved in carcinogenesis. The present study investigated the clinical significance of MMs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Two hundred twenty-three surgically resected HCCs were subjected to gene expression profiling and whole-exome sequencing. Results MMs in individual genes were detected in 178 samples (MM tumors: 79.8%). The remaining samples all carried a single mutation (SM tumors: 20.2%). Recurrence-free survival in the MM group was significantly worse in comparison to the SM group (P = 0.012). A Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that MM tumor was an independent predictor for worse a prognosis (hazard ratio, 1.72; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–3.17; P = 0.045). MMs were frequently observed across in various genes, especially MUC16 (15% of samples had at least one mutation in the gene) and CTNNB1 (14%). Although the MUC16 mRNA expression of MUC16 wild-type and MUC16 SM tumors did not differ to a statistically significant extent, the expression in MUC16 MM tumors was significantly enhanced in comparison to MUC16 SM tumors (P < 0.001). In MUC16, MMs were associated with viral hepatitis, higher tumor marker levels and vascular invasion. The MUC16 MMs group showed significantly worse recurrence-free survival in comparison to the MUC16 SM group (P = 0.022), while no significant difference was observed between the MUC16 SM group and the MUC16 wild-type group (P = 0.324). Conclusions MM was a relatively common event that may occur selectively in specific oncogenes and is involved in aggressive malignant behavior.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Early recurrence after curative resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) often occurs within a year of surgery. Preoperative predictors of early recurrence remain unclear. The aim of this study was to define reliable preoperative predictors of early recurrence.
Methods
Medical records and preoperative multidetector-row CT of patients with PHCC who underwent resection between 2002 and 2018 were reviewed. Clinical findings, tumour markers, and radiological appearances including a ‘periductal enation sign’ (PES) where there was evidence of soft tissue enhancement appearing to arise from the extrahepatic bile duct, were analysed.
Results
Among 261 patients who underwent resection for PHCC, 67 (25.7 per cent) developed early recurrence. Multivariable analysis identified four preoperative risk factors for early recurrence, namely carbohydrate antigen 19–9 (CA19-9) 37 U/ml or higher (OR 2.19, 95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 1.08 to 4.46), positive PES (OR 7.37, 95 per cent c.i. 2.46 to 22.10), mass-forming tumour (OR 4.46, 95 per cent c.i. 1.83 to 10.90), and luminal-occlusion tumour (OR 4.52, 95 per cent c.i. 2.11 to 9.68). The OR of preoperative risk factors were used to define four risk subgroups for early recurrence. The early recurrence rates in the low, moderate, high, and very-high risk groups were 0, 9.4 , 39.7, and 65.0 per cent respectively.
Conclusion
CA19-9, PES, mass-forming tumour, and luminal-occlusion tumour identify patients at higher risk for early recurrence after resection of PHCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a soft pancreas is a widely-accepted reliable risk factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), there is no established preoperative evaluation of pancreatic texture. METHODS Two hundred thirty-seven patients who underwent PD with histological pancreatic assessment were retrospectively enrolled. The degree of fibrosis and fatty infiltration was scored histologically as seven grades and five grades, respectively. Computed tomography (CT) attenuation of the pancreas was measured on preoperative unenhanced CT images. Correlations between the CT attenuation of the pancreas and the histological pancreatic findings, and the development of POPF were analyzed. RESULTS The fibrosis grade was significantly higher for hard pancreas than for soft pancreas (p < 0.001), whereas the fatty infiltration grade was similar between the two types (p = 0.161). CT attenuation of the pancreas was inversely correlated with both fibrosis grade (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ([r] = -0.609, p < 0.001) and fatty infiltration grade (r = -0.382, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (odds ratio [OR]: 5.64, p < 0.001) and fibrosis grade ≤2 (OR: 18.0, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for clinically significant POPF. CONCLUSION Histological pancreatic texture can be evaluated with CT attenuation and might be helpful in preoperatively predicting the development of POPF after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of ABO blood type in resected pancreatic cancer (PC), with a focus on adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 510 patients who underwent pancreatectomy for PC between 2006 and 2017. Survival outcomes were investigated according to blood type and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen (S-1, gemcitabine, or no adjuvant chemotherapy). RESULTS Among the 510 patients, the overall survival (OS) of patients with blood type O was significantly better compared to those with blood type non-O (5-year OS rate, 46.6% vs 30.5%, P = .025). In 241 patients treated with adjuvant S-1, the 5-year OS of patients with blood type O was significantly better than those with blood type non-O (70.7% vs 44.2%, P = .001). Multivariate analysis showed that blood type non-O was an independent prognostic factor for OS in the overall cohort (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.58, P = .002) and in patients treated with adjuvant S-1 (HR: 2.99, P < .001). In patients treated with adjuvant gemcitabine or no adjuvant chemotherapy, there was no significant difference in OS between patients with blood type O and those with blood type non-O. CONCLUSIONS Blood type O predicted favorable survival in patients with resected PC, which was associated with adjuvant S-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) on pathological outcomes, including microscopic venous invasion (MVI), remains unclear in pancreatic cancer. METHODS A total of 456 patients who underwent pancreatectomy for resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer between July 2012 and February 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with NAT (n = 120, 26%) and those without NAT (n = 336, 74%). Clinicopathological factors, survival outcomes and recurrence patterns were analyzed. RESULTS Regarding pathological findings, the proportion of MVI was significantly lower in patients with NAT than in those without NAT (43% vs 62%, P = 0.001). The 5-year survival rate in patients with NAT was significantly better than that in those without NAT (54% vs 45%, P = 0.030). A multivariate analysis showed that MVI was an independent prognostic factor for the overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio 2.86, P = 0.003) in patients who underwent NAT. MVI was an independent risk factor for liver recurrence (odds ratio [OR] 2.38, P = 0.016) and multiple-site recurrence (OR 1.92, P = 0.027) according to a multivariate analysis. The OS in patients with liver recurrence was significantly worse than that in patients with other recurrence patterns (vs lymph node, P = 0.047; vs local, P < 0.001; vs lung, P < 0.001). The absence of NAT was a significant risk factor for MVI (OR 1.93, P = 0.007). CONCLUSION MVI was a crucial prognostic factor associated with liver and multiple-site recurrence in pancreatic cancer patients with NAT. MVI may be reduced by NAT, which may contribute to the improvement of survival in pancreatic cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The NCCN guidelines define pancreatic cancer that has contact with an aberrant right hepatic artery (A-RHA) as a borderline-resectable tumor. However, the impact of tumor contact with an A-RHA on surgical and survival outcomes has not been well discussed. METHODS A total of 541 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for resectable and borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer between 2002 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The presence of an A-RHA and tumor contact with an A-RHA were evaluated based on the preoperative computed tomography findings. Patients with resectable tumors and tumors with A-RHA-contact (having contact with an A-RHA without involvement of the major arteries) were generally treated by upfront surgery, whereas those with borderline-resectable tumors generally underwent neoadjuvant therapy and subsequent resection. RESULTS Among the 541 patients, 116 (21.4%) had an A-RHA and 15 (2.8%) had tumor with A-RHA-contact. The A-RHA was resected in 12, and arterial reconstruction was performed in 8. The rates of morbidity and R1 resection in patients with an A-RHA (32.8 and 10.3%, respectively) were comparable to those without an A-RHA (27.3 and 11.3%, respectively). The overall survival in patients with A-RHA-contact was significantly worse than that in patients with borderline-resectable tumors (median survival time, 14.6 vs. 35.3 months, p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS Although upfront resection was safely performed and led to a high R0 resection rate in patients with A-RHA-contact, the survival outcome was dismal. A tumor with A-RHA-contact should be regarded as technically resectable but oncologically borderline-resectable. Upfront surgery may not be appropriate for patients with A-RHA-contact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Right hepatectomy occasionally requires portal vein resection (PVR) and causes postoperative portal vein thrombosis (PVT). METHODS A total of 247 patients who underwent right hepatectomy were evaluated using a three-dimensional analyzer to identify the morphologic changes in the portal vein (PV). The patients' characteristics were compared between the PVR group (n = 73) and non-PVR group (n = 174), and risk factors for PVT were investigated. The PVR group were subdivided into the wedge resection (WR) group (n = 38) and segmental resection (SR) group (n= 35). RESULTS Postoperative PVT occurred in 20 patients (8.1%). Multivariate analyses in all patients revealed that postoperative left PV diameter/main PV diameter (L/M ratio) <0.56 (odds ratio [OR] 4.00, p = 0.009) and PVR (OR 3.31, p = 0.031) were significant risk factors for PVT. In 73 patients who underwent PVR, PVT occurred in 14 (19%) and WR (OR 11.5, p = 0.005) and L/M ratio <0.56 (OR 5.51, p = 0.016) were significant risk factors for PVT. CONCLUSION PVR was one of the significant risk factors for PVT after right hepatectomy. SR rather than WR may be recommended for preventing PVT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection is the only potentially curative therapy for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). However, the postoperative recurrence rate is high (approximately 50%), and recurrence occasionally develops early after surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 139 patients who underwent macroscopically curative resection for GBC between 2002 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Early recurrence (ER) was defined as recurrence within 6 months after surgery. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed using preoperative factors that may influence early recurrence, namely patient background factors, tumor markers, imaging findings, and body composition parameters obtained preoperatively, to create a predictive score for ER. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 21.9 months (range, 6.2-195.7 months). Postoperative recurrence was observed in 55 (39.6%) patients, of whom 14 (25.5%) developed ER. The median overall survival after surgery was 104.7 months for the non-ER group and 15.7 months for the ER group. On multivariate analysis, high carbohydrate antigen 19-9, low muscle attenuation, high visceral fat attenuation, liver invasion, and other organ invasion on preoperative computed tomography were identified as independent risk factors for ER. A preoperatively predictive scoring system for ER was constructed by weighting the above five factors. The nomogram showed an area under the curve of 0.881, indicating good predictive potential for ER. CONCLUSIONS ER in resected GBC indicates a very poor prognosis. The present preoperative scoring system can sufficiently predict ER and may be helpful in determining the optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Increased serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA19-9) are established prognostic factors in ampulla of Vater carcinoma (AC). We determined the best cut-off values of preoperative CEA and CA19-9 and compared the prognostic power of preoperative CEA with that of preoperative CA19-9 for overall survival (OS). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 116 consecutive patients without jaundice who underwent macroscopic curative resection for AC between January 2002 and August 2019 were enrolled. RESULTS Using the minimum p-value approach based on the OS, the optimal CEA cut-off value was found to be 6.5 ng/ml; however, the cut-off value of CA19-9 could not be determined, as no significant p value was identified. The OS of the patients with CEA >6.5 ng/ml (n=5; 3-year OS, 20.0%) was significantly worse than that with CEA ≤6.5 ng/ml (n=111; 3-year OS, 76.6%; p<0.001). A Cox proportional hazards analysis for OS revealed CEA >6.5 ng/ml (hazard ratio=4.01, p=0.019) to be an independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSION In patients with AC, although the CA19-9 optimal cut-off value could not be determined, CEA >6.5 ng/ml independently affected long-term survival after resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indications and benefits derived from staging laparoscopy (SL) for pancreatic cancer (PC) remain controversial. METHODS This study involved PC patients in whom resection had been considered possible between 2009 and 2020. We classified the patients into before 2014 (training set) and 2014 and later (validation set) groups, as SL was introduced in 2014, in our institution. In the training set, the predictors of non-curative factors were investigated, and reproducibility was confirmed in the validation set. In addition, the outcomes were compared between the datasets. RESULTS A total of 802 patients were classified into the training set (n = 241) and validation set (n = 561). In the training set, pancreatic body or tail tumors (odds ratio [OR]: 2.62: P = 0.039), CA19-9 > 88 U/ml (OR: 3.21: P = 0.018) and a tumor diameter >36 mm (OR: 6.07; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of non-curative factors. The increased rate of non-curative factors was confirmed as the number of predictors increased in the validation set. The curative resection (CR) rate was significantly higher in the validation set than in the training set (P = 0.035). Although there was no significant difference in the OS in the not-resected group (P = 0.895), the OS in the CR and non-CR group was significantly better in the validation set than in the training set (CR, P < 0.001; non-CR, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The findings suggest potential candidates for SL and revealed improved outcomes by the advent of treatment strategies including SL.

Abstract
Introduction The genomic characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after a sustained virological response (SVR) and its differences according to whether an SVR was achieved by treatment with direct‐acting antivirals (DAA) or interferon (IFN) are still not fully understood. Methods Sixty‐nine surgically resected HCCs from patients with hepatitis C virus infection were analyzed by gene expression profiling and whole‐exome sequencing. Results Among the 69 HCC patients, 34 HCCs in which an SVR was not achieved at the time of surgery were classified as HCV‐positive, and 35 HCCs in which an SVR was achieved at the time of surgery were classified as HCV‐SVR. According to the HCV treatment, 35 HCV‐SVR HCCs were classified into two groups: eight tumors with DAA (HCV‐SVR‐DAA) and 24 tumors with interferon (HCV‐SVR‐IFN). The frequency of samples with ARID2 mutations was significantly lower in HCV‐SVR than in HCV‐positive tumors (p = 0.048). In contrast, the frequency of samples with PREX2 mutations was significantly higher in HCV‐SVR samples than in HCV‐positive samples (p = 0.048). Among the patients with HCV‐SVR, the frequency of samples with TP53 mutations was significantly higher in HCV‐SVR‐DAA tumors than in HCV‐SVR‐IFN tumors (p = 0.030). TP53 inactivation scores in HCV‐SVR‐DAA tumors were found to be significantly enhanced in comparison to HCV‐SVR‐IFN tumors (p = 0.022). In addition, chromosomal instability and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway signatures were enhanced in HCV‐SVR‐DAA tumors. HCV‐SVR‐DAA was significantly associated with portal vein invasion (p = 0.003) in comparison to HCV‐SVR‐IFN. Conclusion Our dataset potentially serves as a fundamental resource for the genomic characteristics of HCV‐SVR‐DAA tumors. Our comprehensive genetic profiling by WES revealed significant differences in the mutation rate of several driver genes between HCV‐positive tumors and HCV‐SVR tumors. Furthermore, it was revealed that the frequency of samples with mutations in TP53 was significantly higher in HCV‐SVR‐DAA tumors than in HCV‐SVR‐IFN tumors.

Abstract
Background Conversion surgery for initially unresectable gallbladder cancer is rarely performed due to the low response rate for systemic chemotherapy, and a pathological complete response is seldom achieved. Case presentation A 67-year-old woman with jaundice was referred to our hospital and diagnosed with unresectable gallbladder cancer with extra-regional lymph node metastasis after examinations. After biliary decompression, gemcitabine plus cisplatin therapy was started. The tumor marker levels markedly decreased, and imaging studies revealed a reduction in the primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes. The primary tumor and metastatic lymph node were still shrunk at 4 years after the start of gemcitabine plus cisplatin therapy, so we decided to perform conversion surgery. Gallbladder bed resection and lymph node dissection were performed. The pathological findings of the resected specimen showed only partial fibrosis in the gallbladder wall and no malignant findings in the dissected lymph nodes, indicating a pathological complete response. As of 24 months after the operation, she is alive without recurrence. Conclusion Although there have been only a few reports of conversion surgery for initially unresectable gallbladder cancer, it may be worthwhile to perform chemotherapy with the potential goal of subsequent conversion surgery.

Abstract
Aim The appropriate extent of lymphadenectomy for pancreatic cancer of the body/tail has not been standardized worldwide. The present study evaluated the optimal extent of harvesting lymph nodes. Methods Patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas between 2007 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were subclassified into three groups depending on the tumor location: pancreatic body (Pb), proximal pancreatic tail (Ptp), and distal pancreatic tail (Ptd). The pancreatic tail was further divided into even sections of Ptp and Ptd. Patterns of lymph node metastasis and the impact of lymph node metastasis on the prognosis were examined. Results A total of 120 patients were evaluated. Fifty‐eight patients had a tumor in the Pb, 38 in the Ptp, and 24 in the Ptd. No patients with a Ptd tumor had metastasis beyond the peripancreatic and splenic hilar lymph nodes (LN‐PSH). All patients with metastasis to the lymph nodes along the common hepatic artery (LN‐CHA) or along the left lateral superior mesenteric artery (LN‐SMA) also had metastasis to the LN‐PSH. Recurrence after surgery occurred significantly earlier in this population. In a multivariate analysis, metastasis to the LN‐CHA or LN‐SMA (hazard ratio [HR] 3.3; P = .04) was an independent risk factor for overall survival. Furthermore, high levels of preoperative serum CA19‐9 (HR 10.9; P = .013) were a predictive factor for metastasis to the LN‐CHA or LN‐SMA. Conclusions Metastasis to the LN‐CHA or LN‐SMA was rare but a significant prognostic factor in patients with pancreatic body/tail cancer.

Abstract
Objectives To review our novel technique of hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) with delayed division of the pancreatic parenchyma (DDPP) for reducing postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Background The high operative morbidity and mortality rates after HPD remains a major issue. One of the most troublesome complications is POPF, which might possibly be caused by peripancreatic saponification due to long interval between pancreas resection and reconstruction, as most surgeons prefer a caudocranial approach, performing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) first and then hepatectomy (conventional HPD [C-HPD]). Methods A review of the patients undergoing C-HPD and HPD with DDPP was performed. Postoperative outcomes were compared. Multivariable analysis was conducted to evaluate the risk factors of POPF after HPD. Results One-hundred two patients comprised of 50 patients undergoing C-HPD and 52 patients undergoing HPD with DDPP. The interval between pancreas resection and reconstruction was significantly shorter in HPD with DDPP group than in C-HPD group (51 vs 263 minutes; P < 0.001). The incidence of POPF was significantly lower in HPD with DDPP group than in C-HPD group (32.7% vs 77.3%; P < 0.001). The postoperative hospital stay was shorter in patients undergoing HPD with DDPP than in those undergoing C-HPD (32 vs 45 days). A multivariate analysis revealed that body mass index >24 kg/m2 and conventional (PD first) procedure were significant risk factors for POPF after HPD. Conclusions A novel technique of HPD with DDPP is a simple procedure and the optimal treatment choice to reduce the risk of developing POPF after this extensive surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop the prognostic score (PS) based on clinical factors to stratify the prognosis in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). METHODS This retrospective study included 57 BRPC patients who received NAT between April 2012 and December 2017. A score was assigned to each prognostic factor available before and after NAT, according to their β coefficients. RESULTS Multivariate analysis identified the following six prognostic factors, and scores were assigned as follows: being a familial PC patient (HR 4.98, p = 0.029), post-NAT CA19-9 ≥37 U/ml (HR 3.08, p = 0.020), reduction rate of CA19-9 <70% (HR 3.71, p = 0.008), pre-NAT neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ≥2.8 (HR 4.32, p = 0.003), and non-resection (HR 3.98, p = 0.009) were scored as 1; and post-NAT albumin-to-globulin ratio <1.33 (HR 8.31, p < 0.001) was scored as 2. The PS was calculated by summing the scores assigned to each prognostic factor. Patients were then classified into three risk groups (low- [0-1 points], moderate- [2-3 points], and high-risk [4-6 points] groups). Median overall survival in the low-, moderate-, and high-risk groups were not reached, 37.5 months, and 11.8 months, respectively, and there were significant differences in survival among the three groups (p < 0.01 in each group). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the PS may be useful for predicting the prognosis of BRPC patients treated with NAT.

Abstract
Aim The prognostic value of the perioperative carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 (CA19‐9) value and the prognostic relationship between the CA19‐9 value and the surgical margin in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) have not been fully discussed. Methods A total of 390 patients who underwent curative resection for EHCC between 2002 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the perioperative CA19‐9 value, patients were divided into three groups: preoperative normal (Normal, n = 178), preoperative high and postoperative normal (Normalization, n = 155), and preoperative high and postoperative high (Nonnormalization, n = 57). Survival was analyzed according to the perioperative CA19‐9 value and surgical margin. Results The optimal cutoff value of CA19‐9 was 37 U/mL. Overall survival (OS) was significantly stratified according to the perioperative CA19‐9 value. The 5‐y OS rates in the Normal, Normalization, and Nonnormalization groups were 53%, 38%, and 23%, respectively (P < .001). Although the locoregional recurrence rate was comparable among the groups, the Normal group exhibited distant recurrence less frequently in comparison to the other groups. In the Normal group, the margin status had a significant impact on the OS (surgical resection with a negative margin [R0], 59% vs a microscopically positive margin [R1], 7% at 5‐y, P < .001). In contrast, in the Normalization and Nonnormalization groups, the OS rate of the R0 and R1 resection groups did not differ to a statistically significant extent. Conclusion The perioperative CA19‐9 value was related to the prognosis of resectable EHCC. A preoperative CA19‐9 value of ≥37 U/mL reflected systemic disease. R0 resection did not affect the survival in this patient group.
