Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in patients undergoing curative gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer (RGC). METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included 105 patients with RGC of ≥ 65 years of age who underwent curative gastrectomy at 10 institutions in Japan between January 2000 and December 2016. Postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were analyzed. RESULTS Receiver operating curve analyses indicated that the optimal cutoff value of the GNRI for OS was 95.4. Patients were categorized into high and low GNRI groups based on the optimal GNRI cutoff value. The GNRI was significantly correlated with body mass index (p < 0.001), amount of bleeding (p = 0.021), Clavien-Dindo grade 5 postoperative complications (p = 0.040), death caused by primary disease (p = 0.010), and death caused by other diseases (p = 0.002). The OS and DSS were significantly worse in the low GNRI group. A low GNRI and T3 or deeper tumor invasion were independent prognostic factors for OS and DSS. CONCLUSIONS The GNRI is a promising predictor of both short- and long-term outcomes in older patients with RGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Older patients are more likely to encounter difficulties receiving chemotherapy, but the factors involved in the continuation of chemotherapy in these patients remain unclear. We investigated the importance of muscle mass as a factor involved in delivering a sufficient dose of postoperative S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) to older patients with gastric cancer. METHODS The subjects of this study were 79 patients aged ≥ 65 years with stage II/III gastric adenocarcinoma, who underwent curative gastrectomy and received S-1 ACT. RESULTS The overall median relative dose intensity (RDI) was 75.0% (18.8-93.5%). Patients were divided into two groups for receiver operating characteristic analysis according to the cutoff value. Significantly more patients in the high skeletal muscle index (SMI) group achieved > 62% RDI of S-1 ACT (p = 0.03). Conversely, more patients in the low SMI group suffered from S-1-induced nausea (p = 0.03) and discontinued chemotherapy because of adverse events (p = 0.02). Multivariate analysis identified low SMI as an independent factor for insufficient S-1 dose delivery (p = 0.03, hazard ratio = 2.87). CONCLUSION Preoperative SMI is an indicator of the low-dose intensity of S-1 ACT in older patients following curative gastrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the prognostic utility of the cachexia index (CXI) in unresectable advanced gastric cancer (UAGC). METHODS The relationship between CXI and the outcomes was evaluated in 102 patients with UAGC who had received first-line palliative 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy between January 2012 and December 2021. RESULTS The median survival time (MST) from first-line chemotherapy initiation was 16.2 months, and the cohort included 60 and 42 patients with high and low CXIs, respectively, based on the optimal CXI cutoff. The rates of patients with a performance status score of 0, recurrence, third-line chemotherapy, and all grade 3-4 side effects, including febrile neutropenia (FN), were significantly higher in the CXIhigh group than in the CXIlow group. The prognosis based on MST was significantly better in the CXIhigh group than in the CXIlow group (22.5 vs. 11.6 months, p < 0.001). According to a multivariate analysis, a low CXI and performance status score of 1-2 were poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with UAGC and a low CXI had poorer prognoses and more frequent grade 3-4 side effects, including FN, than those with a high CXI. Patients with UAGC and a low CXI should be carefully managed to control for side effects to receive subsequent treatment.

Abstract
Understanding anatomical anomalies of the branch of the celiac artery for safe gastrectomy is important. We report a case of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D1+ lymph node dissection for early gastric cancer with a vascular anatomical anomaly of the celiac artery. A 45-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of early gastric cancer. Computed tomography showed an anatomical variation of the gastroduodenal artery, which branched from the celiac artery. The celiac artery also branched into the left gastric artery, the splenic artery, and the common hepatic artery. Preoperative understanding of an unusual branch of the celiac artery enabled a safe laparoscopic surgery. There were no postoperative complications. The Adachi classification or Michel classification is used for an anatomical anomaly of the celiac artery, but to the best of our knowledge, this case has not been previously classified and is the first reported case.

Abstract
PURPOSE Perioperative surgical stress and systemic inflammation resulting from complex interactions between cancer and the host play an important role in cancer progression. This retrospective study compared the prognostic impact of various perioperative cumulative inflammation- and nutrition-based markers in patients with gastric cancer (GC). METHODS This study included 301 patients with a histopathological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative surgery. Perioperative cumulative markers were calculated using the newly developed trapezoidal area method. RESULTS The cumulative prognostic nutritional index (cum-PNI) had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting the overall survival (OS) as well as the relapse-free survival (RFS). The cum-PNI was significantly correlated with tumor-related factors, including tumor size, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic involvement, vascular involvement, and TNM stage classification. The cum-PNI was also significantly correlated with surgical factors, including surgical approach, gastrectomy, lymphadenectomy, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications. Furthermore, the OS and RFS were poorer in patients with a low cum-PNI (< 236.3) than in those with a high cum-PNI (> 236.3). A multivariate analysis indicated that a low cum-PNI was an independent prognostic indicator in patients with GC. CONCLUSIONS The cum-PNI might be useful for predicting the prognosis and guiding the perioperative management of patients with GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Chemotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with unresectable gastric cancer (UGC); however, the survival outcomes are poor. This study investigated the predictive values of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) index (SMI) before second-line chemotherapy and the survival outcomes of patients with UGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 79 patients diagnosed with UGC at our hospital who received at least second-line palliative chemotherapy were included. The cross-sectional SMM at the third lumbar vertebra was obtained before second-line chemotherapy. SMI was defined as the muscle area normalized by height squared (m2), and SMI before second-line chemotherapy was defined as 2ndSMI. RESULTS Using 2ndSMI for men and women (35.4 and 31.7 cm2/m2, respectively) as the cutoff value, patients were divided into high (2ndSMIHigh; n=54) and low (2ndSMILow; n=25) 2ndSMI groups. The number of patients receiving fourth-line chemotherapy was significantly higher in the 2ndSMIHigh group than in the 2ndSMILow group (p=0.039). The overall survival time after the start of second-line chemotherapy was significantly higher in the 2ndSMIHigh group than in the 2ndSMILow group (p=0.008). The incidence of grade 3 or 4 side effects was significantly higher in the 2ndSMILow than in the 2ndSMIHigh group (p=0.028). The multivariate analysis identified 2ndSMI as independent prognostic factor after the start of second-line chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The 2ndSMILow group had a significantly worse prognosis and significantly less conversion to fourth-line chemotherapy than the 2ndSMIHigh group. Moreover, 2ndSMILow was associated with grade 3 or 4 side effects of second-line chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Preoperative osteopenia, defined as low bone mineral density, is a prognostic factor in patients with digestive tract cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the correlation between preoperative osteopenia and GC in elderly patients is unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 251 patients who had undergone curative surgery for histopathologically diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma from January 2008 to December 2012. Patients were classified into the non-elderly group (n=169) and the elderly group (n=82). Bone mineral density was calculated as the average pixel density (Hounsfield units) within a circle of the mid-vertebral core at the bottom of the 11th thoracic vertebra on preoperative computed tomography. RESULTS Although overall survival was significantly shorter in the elderly compared to the non-elderly group (p=0.0062), there was no significant difference in disease-specific survival between the two groups (p=0.71) because of the higher rate of death from other diseases. In addition, the elderly group had a significantly higher incidence of osteopenia (p<0.001) and a significantly lower prognostic nutritional index (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative osteopenia and a low preoperative prognostic nutritional index were significant risk factors for death from other diseases after gastrectomy in elderly patients. CONCLUSION In elderly patients with GC, preoperative osteopenia is an important factor to consider in terms of both curability and death from other diseases.

Abstract
Key Clinical Message Although partial hepatic necrosis often occurs following endovascular treatment for bleeding associated with hepatic trauma, it is relatively rare that additional treatment is required. However, invasive procedures such as hepatic resection should sometimes be considered when infection occurs over massive hepatic necrosis. Abstract Although partial hepatic necrosis following endovascular treatment for bleeding associated with hepatic trauma is occasionally experienced, it is relatively rare for the necrotic area of the liver to require additional treatment. However, invasive procedures such as hepatic resection should sometimes be considered when infection occurs over massive hepatic necrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Preoperative osteopenia, defined as low bone mineral density (BMD), has been reported as a prognostic factor in patients with digestive tract cancers. However, the correlation between preoperative osteopenia and the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to reveal the importance of preoperative osteopenia as a prognostic factor in patients undergoing gastrectomy for GC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 251 patients who had undergone curative surgery for histopathologically diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma from January 2008 to December 2012. BMD was calculated as the average pixel density (Hounsfield units) within a circle of the mid-vertebral core at the bottom of the 11th thoracic vertebra on preoperative computed tomography. RESULTS Osteopenia had a high area under the curve and predictive value for both overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). The study cohort was categorized into an osteopenia group and non-osteopenia group based on the optimal BMD cutoff values for OS (157.5) and DSS (195) determined by receiver operating characteristic analysis. The multivariate analysis revealed that OS (hazard ratio=3.607, p<0.001) and DSS (hazard ratio=2.797, p=0.03) were significantly worse in patients with than without preoperative osteopenia. CONCLUSION Preoperative osteopenia is associated with poor OS and DSS in patients undergoing gastrectomy for GC.

Abstract
Background Robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) has a better or comparable surgical outcome when compared with laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP). However, whether the surgical outcome for these procedures in local, low-volume hospitals are comparable with those of the typically larger centers described in published reports remains unclear. Methods This study enrolled 48 patients who underwent either RDP or LDP between August 2012 and April 2023. Data were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the short-term surgical outcomes of RDP versus LDP in our hospital, which is a low-volume center. Results The use of stapling with reinforcement in RDP was significantly higher than in LDP, and the postoperative hospital stay for RDP was significantly shorter than for LDP. Except for these two variables, there were no statistically significant differences between RDP and LDP in preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative patient characteristics. Conclusion RDP can be performed as safely and effectively as LDP in a low-volume hospital located in a sparsely populated area.

Abstract
Mediastinal lymph node recurrence is often observed following esophageal cancer surgery; however, no treatment has been established for the same. Surgical resection is often considered for cases of recurrence in a single lymph node region, although the procedures and approaches vary depending on the recurrence site. Right thoracoscopic resection is rarely opted for owing to its high surgical difficulty. Herein, we report a successful case of right thoracoscopic resection in the supine position for recurrent pretracheal lymph nodes following esophagectomy. The intraoperative findings revealed few adhesions around the recurrent lymph nodes due to the initial surgery, and the recurrent lymph nodes were safely resected within a short period. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4 without any complications, and there was no recurrence after 20 months. Thus, right thoracoscopic resection may be a promising treatment option for recurrent pretracheal lymph nodes after esophagectomy.

Abstract
Background We compared short-term clinical outcomes between robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and video-assisted thoracic esophagectomy (VATS-E) using propensity score-matched analysis. Methods We enrolled 114 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy at our institution from January 2013 to January 2022. Propensity score matching was performed to minimize selection bias between the RAMIE and VATS-E groups. Results After propensity score matching, 72 patients (RAMIE group, n = 36; VATS-E group, n = 36) were selected for analysis. No significant differences in clinical variables were observed between the two groups. The RAMIE group had a significantly longer thoracic operation time (313 ± 40 vs. 295 ± 35 min, P = 0.048), a higher number of right recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes (4.2 ± 2.7 vs. 2.9 ± 1.9, P = 0.039), and a shorter postoperative hospital stay (23.2 ± 12.8 vs. 30.4 ± 18.6 days, P = 0.018) than the VATS-E group. The RAMIE group tended to have a lower rate of anastomotic leakage (13.9% vs. 30.6%) than the VATS-E group, although the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.089). No significant differences were found in recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (11.1% vs. 13.9%, P = 0.722) or pneumonia (13.9% vs. 13.9%, P = 1.000) between the RAMIE group and the VATS-E group. Conclusion Although RAMIE for esophageal cancer requires a longer thoracic surgery time, it might be a feasible and safe alternative to VATS-E for treating esophageal cancer. Further analysis is needed to clarify the advantages of RAMIE over VATS-E, especially in terms of long-term surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is a rare disease that results in polyuria due to decreased responsiveness to the antidiuretic hormone in the collecting ducts of the kidney. Without compensation by drinking large amounts of water, dehydration and hypernatremia can rapidly develop. We present a case of a patient originally diagnosed with CNDI who required surgery and a fasting period due to adhesive bowel obstruction. The patient was a 46-year-old man who was originally diagnosed with CNDI. He was prescribed trichlormethiazide but self-discontinued treatment in the process. His normal urine output was about 7,000-8,000 mL/day. He underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy and uretero-cutaneostomy for bladder cancer. Two years later, he was hospitalized due to adhesive bowel obstruction. A 5% glucose solution was infused, and the dose was adjusted according to the urine volume and electrolytes. An adhesiotomy was performed due to recurrent bowel obstruction in a short period of time. A 5% glucose solution was used as the main infusion during the perioperative period. Once drinking water was resumed after surgery, urinary output and electrolytes were easily controlled. In conclusion, patients with CNDI should be given a 5% glucose solution as the primary infusion, and the infusion volume should be adjusted by monitoring daily urine output, electrolytes, and blood glucose levels. Infusion management is easier if oral intake is initiated as early as possible.

Abstract
Background Esophagectomy is an invasive and complication-prone surgical procedure. Therefore, a tool that can predict the occurrence of postoperative complications may be useful for perioperative management. In this study, we investigated whether the modified frailty index (mFI) could be a useful tool for predicting the postoperative complications of esophagectomy. Methods In this study, 162 patients who underwent curative esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from 2004 to 2019 at our institution were included. The patients were divided into the high mFI (≥ 0.27) and low mFI (< 0.27) groups, and the short-term postoperative outcomes of each group were examined retrospectively. Results Regarding background factors, age and the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification were significantly higher in the high mFI group (P = 0.049 and P = 0.002, respectively); however, the other items were not significantly different between the two groups. Regarding surgical outcomes, no significant differences in operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay were observed between the two groups. Regarding postoperative complications, pneumonia was significantly more common in the high mFI group (P = 0.035). In multivariate analysis, high mFI (P = 0.034) was an independent predictor of pneumonia, along with operative time ≥ 613 min (P = 0.03) and preoperative BMI < 20.48 (P = 0.006). Conclusion The mFI is useful for predicting pneumonia after esophagectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to determine which markers are the most useful as first- and second-line pre-treatment markers in patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer (URGC). METHODS This study included 101 URGC patients who were treated with first- and second-line chemotherapy. Several prognostic scores based on nutrition and inflammation were analyzed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to determine the most useful prognostic marker. RESULTS The lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) had the highest area under the curve for both first- and second-line chemotherapy, according to an ROC analysis. An ROC analysis was used to determine the optimal LCR cut-off for the median survival time before first- and second-line chemotherapy, and patients were divided into high- and low-LCR groups. Patients with a high LCR had a significantly longer survival than those with a low LCR before first- and second-line chemotherapy (p = 0.004, p < 0.001, respectively). A low LCR before both first- and second-line chemotherapy was an independent poor prognostic factor in a multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS URGC patients with a low LCR before both first- and second-line chemotherapy had a significantly worse prognosis than those with a high LCR in this study. Nutritional intervention during chemotherapy induction may lead to a better prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study examined the changes in and risk factors for body composition (BC) during the first postoperative month when dynamic biological reactions occur. METHODS We retrospectively assessed 202 patients who underwent gastrectomy. The BC was assessed using a bioelectrical impedance analysis and evaluated within 1 month preoperatively, 1 week postoperatively, and 1 month postoperatively. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for BC change. RESULTS The mean reduction rate in BC at 1 month postoperatively was - 6.0, - 10.5, - 5.6, - 1.1, - 10.1, and + 1.2% for body weight, body fat, skeletal muscle, bone mineral, extracellular water/total body water, and the whole-body phase angle, respectively. A multiple regression analysis revealed that independent risk factors for weight loss were complications, operative time, and type of gastrectomy (P = 0.004, 0.011, 0.015, respectively), and those for skeletal muscle loss were complications and gastrectomy type (P = 0.002, 0.010, respectively). A segmental lean mass analysis revealed that the lower limbs were markedly reduced at 1 week postoperatively (- 8.0%), and these independent risk factors were the female sex and Stage II/III disease (P = 0.008, 0.036, respectively). CONCLUSION Detailed analyses of BC might help elucidate the mechanisms underlying postoperative physical changes, which might be useful for perioperative management.

Abstract
Background There are numerous indications for minimally invasive surgery. However, the laparoscopic approach for extended pelvic surgery is currently provided by only a few institutions specializing in cancer treatment, primarily because of technical difficulties that arise in cases involving a narrow pelvis and rigid forceps. We report a case of robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration for rectal cancer involving the prostate. We assessed the feasibility of robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration and compared the short-term outcomes of other conventional and minimally invasive approaches. Case presentation A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital after positive fecal blood test results. The initial diagnosis was clinical T4bN2aM0, Stage IIIC rectal cancer involving the prostate. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Consequently, robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration with an ileal conduit and end colostomy creation were performed. The total operative duration was 9 h and 20 min. The durations of robot console usage by the colorectal and urological teams were 2 h 9 min and 2 h 23 min, respectively. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 21. The pathological diagnosis was T4b (prostate) N0M0, Stage IIC. The resection margin was 2.5 mm. During reassessment at 2 years after resection, no evidence of recurrence was observed. Conclusions Robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration was performed for a patient with advanced rectal cancer without serious complications. Robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration may provide the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, particularly in the enclosed space of the pelvis.

Abstract
Background The modified nutritional geriatric risk index (mGNRI) was developed as a novel index and provides a more appropriate prognostic index than the original GNRI, which was reported to be a useful index for predicting prognoses for various malignancies. This study investigated the prognostic significance of the mGNRI compared with that of the GNRI in patients with pancreatic cancer and the association with psoas muscle volume (PMV) for survival outcomes. Methods This retrospective study included 137 patients who had undergone pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. The enrolled patients were grouped as high mGNRI (≥ 85.3) or low mGNRI (< 85.3), and high GNRI (≥ 92) or low GNRI (< 92) for prognostic analysis based on cutoff values. A propensity-matched analysis was performed in this study. Results The 5-year overall survival of patients in the high mGNRI group or high GNRI group was significantly longer than those in the low mGNRI group or low GNRI group. Statistically significant differences for the 5-year OS were observed in the three groups with respect to the combination of mGNRI and PMV. Patients with low mGNRI/low PMV had a worse 5-year OS rate compared with patients with high GNRI/high PMV or those with high GNRI or high PMV, but not both. The concordance index of the mGNRI to predict the 5-year overall survival was greater than that of the GNRI or the combination of the GNRI and PMV, but lower than that of the combination of the mGNRI and PMV. Multivariate analysis revealed that the mGNRI was an independent prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic cancer (P = 0.005). Conclusions The mGNRI might be a more useful prognostic factor than the GNRI for patients with pancreatic cancer, and might predict prognostic outcomes more accurately when combined with PMV.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) at the time of recurrence in patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer, and the relationship between GNRI and skeletal muscle mass for survival outcomes after recurrence. This study enrolled 77 patients who developed postoperative recurrence. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was used in this study. The patients were divided into a high-GNRI group (n = 36) and a low-GNRI group (n = 41) for the GNRI, and were divided into a high-SMI group (n = 38) and a low-SMI group (n = 39) for SMI. The 2-year post-recurrence overall survival of patients in the high-GNRI group was significantly longer than that of patients in the low-GNRI group (P = 0.001). No significant difference for the 2-year post-recurrence OS curves between the high-SMI group and the low-SMI group was observed (P = 0.125). Upon stratifying the patients with high GNRI or low GNRI according to SMI, There was no significant difference in the 2-year post-recurrence OS curves between the patients with both high GNRI and high SMI and the patients with high GNRI and low SMI (P = 0.399). Similarly, There was no significant difference in the 2-year post-recurrence OS curves between the patients with low GNRI and high SMI and the patients with both low GNRI and low SMI (P = 0.256). Multivariate analysis revealed that the GNRI at the time of recurrence was an independent prognostic risk factor in patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer (P = 0.019). The GNRI at the time of recurrence is useful for predicting the prognosis in patients with recurrence pancreatic cancer. Skeletal muscle mass at the time of recurrence is not contributed to predict post-recurrence survival of patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Background The systemic inflammatory response resulting from the complex interactions between cancer and the host plays an important role in cancer development. Recently, the lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), which is a hematological and biochemical marker that reflects the systemic inflammatory response and nutritional status, has been reported to be associated with poor survival. Similar results were observed in patients with certain cancer types. However, these studies focused on the preoperative LCR, and thus far, no studies have reported the relationship between postoperative LCR and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Methods This study enrolled 455 patients with a histopathological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative surgery at our institution between 2005 and 2018. The relationship between both the preoperative and postoperative LCR and the prognosis of patients with GC was retrospectively investigated. Results Preoperative LCR showed significant correlations with tumor-related factors, such as tumor size, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis. By contrast, no correlation was observed between postoperative LCR and tumor-related factors. The 5 year survival rate was significantly worse in patients with low preoperative LCR than in those with high preoperative LCR (65.4% vs. 83.9%, p < 0.0001). Similarly, the 5 year survival rate was also significantly worse in patients with low postoperative LCR than in those with high postoperative LCR (67.0% vs. 84.1%, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, combination analysis of the pre- and postoperative LCR revealed that the prognosis of patients with both low pre- and postoperative LCR was worse in patients with GC (5 year survival rate was 52.0%). A multivariate analysis indicated that a low pre- and postoperative LCR and age and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic indicators. Conclusions The combination of preoperative and postoperative LCR appears to be useful in predicting the prognosis of patients with GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies investigated the utility of inflammation and nutritional markers in predicting the prognosis in patients with gastric cancer; however, the markers with the best predictive ability remain unclear. This retrospective study aimed to determine inflammation and nutritional markers that predicted prognosis in elderly patients over 75 years of age undergoing curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS Between January 2005 and December 2015, 497 consecutive elderly gastric cancer patients aged over 75 years underwent curative gastrectomy in 12 institutions. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio were examined as prognostic markers for overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) using area under the curve (AUC) using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS The GNRI had the highest AUC and predictive value for both OS (0.637, p < 0.001) and DSS (AUC 0.645, p < 0.001). The study cohort was categorized into the high and low GNRI groups based on the optimal GNRI cut-off values for OS (97.0) and DSS (95.8) determined with the ROC analysis. For both OS and DSS, there was a significant correlation between the GNRI and several clinicopathological factors including age, body mass index, albumin, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, pathological stage, operation duration, bleeding, procedure, approach, death due to primary disease, and death due to other disease. The GNRI remained a crucial independent prognostic factor for both OS (Hazard ratio [HR] = 1.905, p < 0.001) and DSS in multivariate analysis (HR = 1.780, p = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS Among a panel of inflammation and nutritional markers, the GNRI exhibited the best performance as a prognostic factor after curative gastrectomy in elderly patients with gastric cancer, indicating its utility as a simple and promising index for predicting OS and DSS in these patients.

Abstract
Background Thoracoscopic esophagectomy has been extensively used worldwide as a curative surgery for patients with esophageal cancer; however, complications such as anastomotic leakage and stenosis remain a major concern. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of circular stapling anastomosis with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, which was standardized for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis after thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Methods Altogether, 121 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy with radical lymph node dissection and cervical esophagogastric anastomosis from November 2009 to December 2020 at Tottori University Hospital were enrolled in this study. Patients who underwent surgery before the anastomotic method was standardized were included in the classical group (n = 82) and patients who underwent surgery after the anastomotic method was standardized were included in the ICG circular group (n = 39). The short-term postoperative outcomes, including anastomotic complications, were compared between the two groups using propensity-matched analysis and the risk factors for anastomotic leakage were evaluated using logistic regression analyses. Results Of the 121 patients, 33 were included in each group after propensity score matching. The clinicopathological characteristics of patients did not differ between the two groups after propensity score matching. In terms of perioperative outcomes, a significantly higher proportion of patients who underwent surgery using the laparoscopic approach (P < 0.001) and narrow gastric tube (P = 0.003), as well as those who had a lower volume of blood loss (P = 0.009) in the ICG circular group were observed after matching. Moreover, the ICG circular group had a significantly lower incidence of anastomotic leakage (39% vs. 9%, P = 0.004) and anastomotic stenosis (46% vs. 21%, P = 0.037) and a shorter postoperative hospital stay (30 vs. 20 days, P < 0.001) than the classical group. According to the multivariate analysis, the anastomotic method was an independent risk factor for anastomotic leakage after thoracoscopic esophagectomy (P = 0.013). Conclusions Circular stapling anastomosis with ICG fluorescence imaging is effective in reducing complications such as anastomotic leakage and stenosis.

Abstract
Background Immune-check point inhibitors (ICPIs) for treatment of cancer patients sometimes induce potentially life-threatening immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which predict ICPIs treatment efficacy. Prediction of irAEs would be useful for management of irAEs and prediction of ICPIs efficacy. This study aimed to determine predictors of irAEs in patients with recurrent or unresectable advanced gastric cancer (RUGC) treated with nivolumab. Methods Seventy-eight RUGC patients treated with nivolumab at nine institutions between January 2017 and April 2020 were included in this study. The usefulness of specific blood test results as predictors of irAEs was evaluated. Results We observed irAEs in 15 (19.2%) patients. The disease control rate was significantly higher in the patients with irAEs than in those without (86.7% vs. 42.9%; P < 0.001). The median progression-free survival was significantly longer for patients with irAEs than for patients without (4.9 vs. 2.6 months; P = 0.018). The median survival time was longer for patients with irAEs than for those without (9.4 vs. 5.8 months; P = 0.041). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for irAEs indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) of carbohydrate antigen 19–9 (CA19-9) was highest (0.692; P = 0.022), followed by that for the platelet count × serum C-reactive protein (P-CRP) value (0.680; P = 0.032). The AUC for the CA19-9 + P-CRP combination was 0.782, which was more useful than that for either component and significantly associated with overall survival of nivolumab-treated RUGC patients. Conclusions The CA19-9 + P-CRP combination was predictive of irAEs and prognosis in RUGC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM This study investigated the influence of surgery for metasynchronous liver metastasis in gastric cancer on prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted involving 21 consecutive patients with gastric cancer with metasynchronous distant metastasis only in the liver after curative gastrectomy. The patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent hepatic resection and those who did not. The clinicopathological characteristics, recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were analysed. RESULTS Among 981 gastrectomies performed in Tottori University Hospital between 2005 and 2019, 930 were curative. Among 153 cases of recurrence during the follow-up, 21 consecutive cases involving the liver only and metasynchronous recurrent metastasis on imaging were included in this study. The study included 16 males and five females with a median age of 70 years. No statistical difference in RFS (237 vs. 201 days; p=0.788) was observed between the hepatectomy and non-hepatectomy groups; however, OS (1,564 vs. 608 days, p=0.008) and DSS (1,597 vs. 608 days, p=0.006) were significantly prolonged in the hepatectomy group. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that hepatectomy was the only independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio=0.33; p=0.042). CONCLUSION Hepatic resection of heterogeneous liver metastases in gastric cancer seems to be a useful option that can be expected to cure the disease, which cannot be achieved by chemotherapy alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) are likely to have nutritional difficulty after surgery. Readmission due to nutritional difficulty is common in such patients. Thus, in this study, we aim to identify the predictive indicators for readmission due to nutritional difficulty in patients who underwent gastrectomy for GC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed surgical outcomes in 516 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for GC. RESULTS The readmission rate within 1 year was 13.8%. Readmission due to nutritional difficulty was observed in 20 patients (3.9%); it was determined as the second leading cause of readmission. Multivariate analysis revealed that the type of gastrectomy and the modified frailty index (mFI) were independent predictive indicators of readmission due to nutritional difficulty. Patients were assigned 1 point for each predictive indicator, and the total points were calculated (point 0, point 1, or point 2). The readmission rates due to nutritional difficulty were 1.2%, 4.7%, and 11.5% in patients with 0, 1, and 2 points, respectively (P = 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS The readmission rate due to nutritional difficulty was noted to be high in patients who underwent total or proximal partial gastrectomy with high mFI. Intensive follow-up and nutritional support are needed to reduce readmissions due to nutritional difficulty. Reduced readmission rates can improve patient quality of life and reduce medical costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colonic metastasis is uncommon in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the past, extrahepatic metastasis of HCC was not treated aggressively because of its poor prognosis. Herein, we describe the case of a patient with HCC who survived for 30 months following resection of a metastatic tumor in the ascending colon. CASE PRESENTATION An 80-year-old man presented at our hospital with symptoms of abdominal pain on the right side and fever. He had undergone transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and posterior segment resection of the liver because of HCC, followed by radiofrequency ablation for a recurrent intrahepatic lesion 5 and 3 years, respectively, prior to the visit. He was diagnosed with retroperitoneal hematoma, which was thought to be associated with diverticulitis and an extramural tumor in the ascending colon. A definitive diagnosis could not be reached; however, a right hemicolectomy of the colon was performed because of progression to anemia. A pathological examination revealed a metastatic tumor in the ascending colon extending from the subserosal layer to the muscularis propria layer. The patient was treated with lenvatinib after surgery, but presented with intrahepatic recurrence, lymph node metastasis, and peritoneal dissemination metastasis 15 months later. The progression of the disease could not be controlled and his postoperative survival time was 30 months. CONCLUSION Resection of metastasis of HCC might contribute to prolonged survival in cases, where radical resection is possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet distribution width (PDW) and red cell distribution width (RDW) are readily obtainable data, and are reportedly useful as prognostic indicators in some cancers. However, their prognostic significance is unclear in gastric cancer (GC). METHODS We enrolled 445 patients with histopathological diagnoses of gastric adenocarcinoma who had undergone curative surgeries. RESULTS According to the optimal cut-off value of PDW and RDW by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, we divided patients into PDWHigh (≥ 16.75%), PDWLow (< 16.75%), RDWHigh (≥ 14.25%), and RDWLow (< 14.25%) subgroups. Overall survival (OS) was significantly worse in patients with PDWHigh than in those with PDWLow (P = 0.0015), as was disease specific survival (P = 0.043). OS was also significantly worse in patients with RDWHigh than in those with RDWLow (P < 0.0001), as was disease specific survival (P = 0.0002). Multivariate analysis for OS revealed that both PDW and RDW were independent prognostic indicators. Patients were then given PDW-RDW score by adding points for their different subgroups (1 point each for PDWHigh and RDWHigh; 0 points for PDWLow and RDWLow). OS significantly differed by PDW-RDW score (P < 0.0001), as did disease specific survival (P = 0.0005). In multivariate analysis for OS, PDW-RDW score was found to be an independent prognostic indicator. CONCLUSIONS The prognosis of GC patients can be precisely predictable by using both PDW and RDW.

Abstract
A 56-years old man was diagnosed with cervical esophageal cancer with lymph node metastasis. After definitive chemoradiotherapy as the first-line therapy, complete response(CR)was obtained. One year and 3 months after the therapy, lymph node dissection and postoperative chemotherapy was performed for the lymph node metastases of the left neck and axillary lymph node. After 3 years and 10 months from the first-line therapy, follow-up CT revealed left axillary lymph node swelling and diagnosed with lymph node recurrence. Chemoradiotherapy was performed for the recurrence of the lymph node and CR was achieved for the lymph node. However, left axillary lymph node swelling were detected again 6 years after the first-line therapy. After 6 months of chemotherapy with S-1, CR was achieved for the lymph node again. He is now alive without recurrence for 10 years after the first-line therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality rate of patients with unresectable gastric cancer (UGC) has decreased with the development of chemotherapies and surgical techniques. However, the survival rate remains low. We retrospectively examined the prognostic significance of the pretreatment skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and nutritional and inflammatory factors in patients with UGC. METHODS This study included 83 patients diagnosed with UGC at Tottori University Hospital who received palliative chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil. Pretreatment computed tomography (CT) measured overall skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and cross-sectional SMM at the third lumbar vertebra (L3). We focused on the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as nutritional and inflammatory factors. RESULTS Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed for median survival time (MST) after palliative chemotherapy. SMIs for males and females (43.9 cm2/m2 and 34.7 cm2/m2, respectively) were the cutoff values, and patients were divided into high (SMIHigh; n = 41) and low SMI groups (SMILow; n = 42). Body mass index (BMI) was significantly higher in patients in the SMIHigh group than in the SMILow group (p < 0.001). The number of patients who received third-line chemotherapy was significantly higher in the SMIHigh group than in the SMILow group (p = 0.037). The MST was significantly higher in the SMIHigh group than in the SMILow group (17.3 vs. 13.8 months; p = 0.008). The incidence of grade 3 or 4 side effects was significantly higher in patients with SMILow UGC (p = 0.028). NLR was significantly higher in patients with SMILow than it was in those with SMIHigh. (p = 0.047). In the univariate analysis, performance status, SMI, histological type, lines of chemotherapy, and NLR were prognostic indicators. The multivariate analysis identified SMI (p = 0.037), NLR (p = 0.002), and lines of chemotherapy (p < 0.001) as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS The SMILow group had significantly more grade 3 or 4 side effects, were related to high NLR, and had a significantly worse prognosis than the SMIHigh group.

Abstract
Background The standard treatment for resectable advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Japan is surgery followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and it is important to predict the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before treatment. Therefore, this study aims to extract conventional blood examination data, such as tumor markers and/or inflammatory/nutritional index levels, that can predict the pathological response of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 66 patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by curative esophagectomy at Tottori University Hospital between June 2009 and December 2019. Results We demonstrated that the product of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) multiplied by the cytokeratin-19 fragment (CYFRA) level, which was termed "PLR-CYFRA," is the most accurate indicator that predicts the pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with the highest area under the curve [0.795 (95% confidence interval: 0.665-0.925), P < 0.001] in receiver operating characteristic analyses. Therefore, we divided patients into the PLR-CYFRALow (< 237.6, n = 21) and PLR-CYFRAHigh (≥ 237.6, n = 45) groups and found that the percentage of PLR-CYFRALow was significantly higher in patients with a better pathological response (P < 0.001). Furthermore, patients with good pathological response had significantly better prognoses in terms of disease-specific survival (P = 0.014), recurrence-free survival (P = 0.014), and overall survival (P = 0.032). In the multivariate analysis, PLR-CYFRA was an independent predictor of the pathological response of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.002). Conclusion Pretreatment PLR-CYFRA might be a useful and simple tool that predicts the pathological effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Background Postoperative inflammation is associated with cancer progression in several cancers. However, the prognostic significance of postoperative fever remains unclear in gastric cancer patients. Methods We enrolled 442 patients with a histopathological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative surgery. Results The mean duration of postoperative fever ≥ 37°C was 8.7 days (range: 0-186 days) and significantly longer in patients with advanced gastric cancer, venous invasion, and open or total gastrectomy vs. patients with early gastric cancer (P = 0.0072), no venous invasion (P = 0.025), laparoscopic gastrectomy (P = 0.027), and either proximal or distal partial gastrectomy (P = 0.0015). Five-year overall survival rates were 69.5% vs. 83.6% in the prolonged postoperative fever group (≥ 6 days of ≥ 37°C) vs. the nonprolonged group (< 6 days of ≥ 37°C), respectively (P = 0.0008). In patients without Clavien-Dindo classification postoperative infectious complications grade ≥ 2, 5-year overall survival was 69.7% vs. 84.0% in patients with prolonged postoperative fever vs. those without, respectively (P = 0.0067). Five-year disease-specific survival was 85.9% vs. 93.1% in patients with prolonged fever vs. those without, respectively (P = 0.041). Multivariate analysis indicated that postoperative fever was an independent prognostic indicator. Conclusion Postoperative fever ≥ 37°C duration may be useful in predicting prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer and peripheral artery disease are common conditions in older adults and may coexist in this population. Lymph node dissection along the inferior mesenteric artery is a vital procedure in cases of left-sided colorectal cancer. However, the inferior mesenteric artery may show a collateral blood pathway in rare cases of peripheral artery disease. We report a case of advanced sigmoid colon cancer in which the lower limbs received inferior mesenteric artery flow owing to asymptomatic peripheral artery disease. The possibility of catastrophic lower-limb ischemia because of complete mesenteric excision with ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery was a matter of concern in this case. Case presentation A 73-year-old man with asymptomatic peripheral artery disease was diagnosed with stage IIIB advanced sigmoid colon cancer. Angiography using a balloon-occlusion catheter revealed that his lower limbs received prominent inferior mesenteric artery blood flow through a collateral pathway. Therefore, interventional radiologists and cardiovascular surgeons evaluated the indications for endovascular stents or bypass grafts. The patient also had dilated cardiomyopathy, so the cardiovascular physicians evaluated his tolerance in the worst-case scenario of a colorectal anastomotic leak. The patient underwent axillofemoral artery bypass and two-stage laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy without anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and he resumed his job within a month after the resection. Conclusions Although collateral flow from the inferior mesenteric artery is rare in patients with peripheral artery disease, a few case reports have described fatal lower-limb ischemia following anterior resection. The perioperative multidisciplinary evaluation enabled us to understand the patient’s condition and risks, and allowed successful cancer treatment without ischemia of the lower limbs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic surgery for rectal cancer is used worldwide, with an increasing incidence of robotic surgeons. Therefore, the most appropriate educational system for next-generation robotic surgeons should be urgently established. METHODS We analyzed 39 patients who underwent robotic rectal surgery performed by a next-generation surgeon with limited experienced in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. The dual console system was used in the initial 15 cases, and we assessed short-term outcomes and the learning curve on operative time using the cumulative sum method. RESULTS The patients were divided into two groups: 15 cases in the early phase, and 24 cases in the late phase. The operative time and surgeon console time were significantly shorter in the late phase than the early phase (P < 0.001). Postoperative complications were more frequently observed in the early phase (P = 0.049); however, the estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay were not significantly different. In the initial 15 cases that using the dual console, the average operative time changing to the expert surgeon was 82 minutes in the first 5 cases, 19 minutes on average in the next 5 cases, and no change occurred in the last 5 cases. The learning curve peaked after 14 cases, plateaued from case number 15 to 23, and decreased in a linear fashion until the final case. CONCLUSION Education of a next generation surgeon using a dual console system for robotic rectal cancer surgery was performed safely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We retrospectively examined the relationship among skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), prognosis, and chemotherapy side effects in patients with recurrent gastric cancer (RGC). METHODS Sixty-seven patients who developed recurrence after undergoing curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer at Tottori University Hospital and received palliative chemotherapy were included in this study. Pretreatment computed tomography was performed to measure the skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and cross-sectional SMM at the third lumbar vertebra. We focused on haematologic toxicity (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anaemia), febrile neutropenia, and gastrointestinal toxicity (diarrhoea, vomiting, and stomatitis) as the side effects of chemotherapy. RESULTS Median SMIs for males and females (43.9 and 34.7 cm2/m2, respectively) were used as cutoff values. The patients were classified into high (SMIHigh; n = 34) and low SMI groups (SMILow; n = 33). The SMILow group included more patients treated with monotherapy (P = 0.016) compared with the SMIHigh group, had a significantly lower number of chemotherapy lines (P = 0.049), and had a significantly higher incidence of grade 3 or 4 side effects (P = 0.010). The median survival rate was significantly higher in the SMIHigh group (17.8 vs 15.8 months; P = 0.034). In the univariate analysis, body mass index, SMI, histological type, and prognostic nutritional index were identified as prognostic indicators. The multivariate analysis identified SMI (P = 0.037) and histological type (P = 0.028) as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION The incidence of grade 3 or 4 side effects was significantly higher in patients with SMILow RGC. SMI was a useful prognostic marker of RGC.

Abstract
Background The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), originally developed as a nutritional assessment tool to evaluate mortality and morbidity in older hospitalized patients (i.e., those aged ≥65 years), is regarded as a prognostic factor in several cancers. Body composition is also an important consideration when predicting the prognosis of patients with cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the GNRI and psoas muscle volume (PMV) for survival outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods This retrospective study evaluated the prognostic significance of the GNRI and PMV in 105 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years who underwent pancreatectomy for histologically confirmed pancreatic cancer. The patients were divided into high (GNRI > 98) and low GNRI groups (GNRI ≤98), and into high (PMV > 61.5 mm3/m3 for men and 44.1 mm3/m3 for women) and low PMV (PMV ≤ 61.5 mm3/m3 for men and 44.1 mm3/m3 for women) groups. Results Both the 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were significantly greater among patients in the high GNRI group than among patients in the low GNRI group. Similarly, both the 5-year OS and RFS rates were significantly greater among patients in the high PMV group than among patients in the low PMV group. Patients were stratified into three groups: those with both high GNRI and high PMV; those with either high GNRI or high PMV (but not both); and those with both low GNRI and low PMV. Patients with both low GNRI and low PMV had a worse 5-year OS rate, compared with patients in other groups (P < 0.001). The C-index of the combination of the GNRI and PMV for predicting 5-year OS was greater than the C-indices of either the GNRI or PMV alone. Multivariate analysis revealed that the combination of the GNRI and PMV was an independent prognostic factor in patients aged ≥65 years with pancreatic cancer (P = 0.003). Conclusions The combination of the GNRI and PMV might be useful to predict prognosis in patients aged ≥65 years with pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Background This study was conducted to assess the long-term outcomes of elderly patients among propensity-score-matched gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy and to propose the proper management of elderly gastric cancer patients. Methods We enrolled 626 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy at our institution between January 2004 and December 2015. To minimize selection bias among 2 groups, propensity score matching was performed. Results Patients were divided into an elderly group over 75 years old (EP group; n = 186) and a non-elderly group (NEP group; n = 440). After propensity score matching, patients were divided into EP group (n = 178) and NEP group (n = 175). Five-year overall survival was significantly lower in the EP group than in the NEP group, consistent with a subgroup analysis of each stage. However, the 5-year disease-specific survival among all enrolled patients and those with stage I and II disease did not differ significantly. Moreover, in the subgroup of stage III patients, 5 year disease-specific survival was significantly lower in the EP group (23.0%) than in the NEP group (59.4%; P = 0.004). Because elderly patients with stage III disease had an extremely poor prognosis, we decided to compare the two groups with stage III. The EP group contained significantly fewer patients with D2 lymphadectomy (P = 0.002) and adjuvant chemotherapy (P < 0.001) than the NEP group. C-reactive protein to albumin ratio was significantly higher in patients in the EP group than in the NEP group (P = 0.046), and the prognostic nutritional index was significantly lower in patients in the EP group than in the NEP group (P = 0.045). Multivariate analysis revealed that the prognostic nutritional index and lymphatic invasion were independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Elderly gastric cancer patients with stage III disease showed poorer disease-specific survival compared with non-elderly patients, which may be due to a poorer nutritional and inflammatory background, fewer D2 lymphadenectomies, and a lack of adjuvant chemotherapy. The safe induction of standard lymphadenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy with perioperative aggressive nutritional support may improve the prognosis of elderly gastric cancer patients with stage III disease.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative complications and nutritional status between esophagogastrostomy and double-tract reconstruction in patients who underwent laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy, and assess the advantages of both surgical procedures. Methods Between 2010 and 2018, 47 cases underwent proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy (n = 23) or double-tract reconstruction (n = 24) at our institution for the treatment of clinical T1N0 adenocarcinoma located in the upper third of the stomach. Patient clinical characteristics, short-term outcomes, nutrition status, and skeletal muscle index were compared among the two groups. Results There was no significant difference between esophagogastrostomy and double-tract reconstruction in terms of operation time, blood loss, and length of postoperative hospital stay. Reflux symptoms and anastomotic stenosis were significantly higher in the esophagogastrostomy group compared with the double-tract reconstruction group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.004, respectively). There was no significant difference in anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection, and pancreatic fistula. For the nutritional status, the decrease rate of cholinesterase was significantly higher in the esophagogastrostomy group compared with the double-tract reconstruction group at 6 months (P = 0.008) There was no significant difference in the decrease rate of skeletal muscle mass index at 1 year after surgery. Conclusion Compared with esophagogastrostomy, double-tract reconstruction tends to have better short-term nutritional status and postoperative outcomes in terms of preventing the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux and anastomosis stenosis. These findings suggest that double-tract reconstruction may be a useful method in laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to its tumor-specific metabolic pathway characteristics, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a natural amino acid widely used in cancer treatment. The current study, demonstrated that 5-ALA induced ferroptosis via glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) and had an antitumor effect in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS Expression of GPX4 and HMOX1 in pathologic specimens of 97 ESCC patients was examined, and prognostic analyses were performed. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), RNA microarray, and Western blotting analyses were used to evaluate the role of 5-ALA in ferroptosis in vitro. In addition, this study used ferrostatin-1, a ferroptosis inhibitor, and a lipid peroxidation reagent against cell lines treated with 5-ALA. Finally, the role of 5-ALA was confirmed by its effect on an ESCC subcutaneous xenograft mouse model. RESULTS The study showed that upregulation of GPX4 and downregulation of HMOX1 were poor prognostic factors in ESCC. In an RNA microarray analysis of KYSE30, ferroptosis was one of the most frequently induced pathways, with GPX4 suppressed and HMOX1 overexpressed by 5-ALA treatment. These findings were verified by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Furthermore, 5-ALA led to an increase in lipid peroxidation and exerted an antitumor effect in various cancer cell lines, which was inhibited by ferrostatin-1. In vivo, 5-ALA suppressed GPX4 and overexpressed HMOX1 in tumor tissues and led to a reduction in tumor size. CONCLUSIONS Modulation of GPX4 and HMOX1 by 5-ALA induced ferroptosis in ESCC. Thus, 5-ALA could be a promising new therapeutic agent for ESCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Olanexidine gluconate is a newly developed solution for skin disinfection that was recently approved in Japan. We aimed to compare single and double application of the solution in preventing surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing general surgery. METHODS This randomized study was conducted at the Tottori University Hospital. Patients scheduled to undergo gastrointestinal or hernia surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups using either one or two Olanedine applicators for skin disinfection. The primary endpoint was the difference in SSI incidence between the two groups. The secondary endpoint was all adverse events related to olanexidine gluconate. RESULTS A total of 393 patients qualified for the study protocol: 193 received a single application, and 200 received a double application of Olanedine. SSI occurred in 10 patients (2.5%) overall; nine were superficial incisional SSIs, and one patient had a deep incisional SSI. Of the 10 patients who developed SSI, six (3.1%) were in the group receiving a single application, and four (2.0%) were in the group receiving a double application; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.537). Allergic reactions or skin disorders related to olanexidine gluconate were not observed. CONCLUSION There was no difference in the SSI incidence between the use of one or two Olanedine applicators for skin preparation in elective general surgery. Therefore, a single application of Olanedine is sufficient and is recommended for general surgery as a standard disinfection precaution. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000027319; 5/12/2017.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The efficacy and safety of early drain removal following distal pancreatectomy in elderly patients are unclear. We aimed to investigate the short-term surgical outcomes following early drain removal after distal pancreatectomy in elderly patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-seven patients aged ≥70 years who underwent distal pancreatectomy at our Hospital were enrolled in the study. Data were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the short-term surgical outcomes following early drain removal after distal pancreatectomy in elderly patients. RESULTS The incidence of pancreatic fistula following distal pancreatectomy in the early-removal group was significantly lower vs. the conventional group (p=0.022). Multivariate analysis revealed that early drain removal was an independent factor for reducing the risk of pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy in elderly patients (p=0.042). CONCLUSION Early drain removal following distal pancreatectomy is an effective and safe surgical perioperative management procedure to prevent pancreatic fistula in elderly patients.

Abstract
Background Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor in various cancers. However, the impact of sarcopenia in patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer remains unclear. This study evaluated the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer. Methods Seventy-four patients who developed postoperative recurrence of pancreatic cancer after undergoing pancreatectomies were enrolled. Sarcopenia in these patients was defined according to the psoas muscle index (PMI) measured via computed tomography at the third vertebra. Results The mean PMIs at the time of recurrence were 4.47 ± 1.27 cm2/m2 for men and 3.26 ± 0.70 cm2/m2 for women. Of the 74 patients, 65 (87.8%) were diagnosed with sarcopenia with low PMI. The 2-year post-recurrence survival curve in the sarcopenia group was significantly worse than that in the non-sarcopenia group (P = 0.034). Multivariate analysis revealed that sarcopenia at the time of recurrence was an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.043) along with a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (P = 0.004), early recurrence (P = 0.001), and chemotherapy after recurrence (P = 0.005) in patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, the area under the curve (AUC) of the combination of sarcopenia and time to recurrence for predicting 2-year survival was 0.763, which was much higher than that of sarcopenia alone (AUC = 0.622). Conclusions Sarcopenia is a useful prognostic factor in patients with recurrent pancreatic cancer. The combination of sarcopenia and time of recurrence may more accurately predict post-recurrence survival than can sarcopenia alone.

Abstract
Background Small bowel stenosis after blunt abdominal trauma is relatively rare, and progression from trauma to bowel stenosis might sometimes be delayed. Herein, we report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with small bowel stenosis relatively early and received laparoscopic surgery. Case presentation An 18-year-old Japanese male was in a traffic accident and was urgently transported to our hospital. On arrival, he was admitted with right kidney and right adrenal injury and abdominal aortic aneurysm. On hospital day 13, he vomited during conservative treatment without surgery, and computed tomography revealed small bowel stenosis and dilatation of the oral-side small bowel. No improvement with the ileus tube occurred, and he received laparoscopic surgery on hospital day 21. Briefly, the abdominal cavity was observed with a laparoscope. The mesentery was congested, scarring around the stenotic small bowel regions was present, and three stenotic regions were observed 40–50 cm from the Treitz ligament. The patient received partial resection and anastomosis of the small bowel. The postoperative course was stable, and he was discharged on postoperative day eight. Conclusions Most cases of bowel stenosis after abdominal trauma are irreversible and usually require surgical treatment. Therefore, small bowel stenosis should be considered in patients with abdominal symptoms after blunt abdominal trauma.

Abstract
Background We compared short- and long-term clinical outcomes including inflammatory marker levels between robotic gastrectomy (RG) and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) to define the advantages of RG over LG. Methods We enrolled 209 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative distal gastrectomy. We compared short- and long-term clinical outcomes including inflammatory marker levels between RG and LG to define the advantages of RG over LG. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels; the CRP-to-albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios; and the prognostic nutritional index were compared as systemic inflammatory markers. Results RG was associated with a longer operative time. The incidence of postoperative infectious complications of grade II or higher according to the Clavien-Dindo classification was not significantly different between the two groups. Amylase levels in drainage fluid on postoperative days 1 and 3 were significantly lower in the RG group than in the LG group. The incidence of pancreatic fistula in the RG group (4.3%) was lower than that in the LG group (7.5%), albeit without significance. There were no significant differences in inflammatory marker levels either before or after surgery between the two groups. The 3-year overall survival rate did not significantly differ between the RG and LG groups (91.1% vs. 91.1%). Similar results were observed regarding the 3-year disease-specific survival rate (100% vs. 97.1%). Conclusion RG might be feasible and safe for treating gastric cancer from both surgical and oncological perspectives. The use of robotic assistance is associated with decreased amylase levels in drainage fluid, which may reduce the risk of pancreatic fistula and prevent pancreatic injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test is one of the most popular dynamic methods for evaluating preoperative liver function to avoid posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). Tc-99m-diethylenetriamine-penta-acetic acid-galactosyl human serum albumin scintigraphy (GSA) also facilitates the direct estimation of functional hepatocytes and can estimate the ICG retention rate (R15); however, in some cases, there is a discrepancy between results of a preoperative examination of ICG-R15 and the estimated ICG-R15 obtained by 99mTc-GSA (GSA-R15). This study evaluated the gap between ICG-R15 and GSA-R15 (ΔICG) for predicting background liver fibrosis in patients who underwent hepatectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-four consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy and preoperative ICG-R15 and GSA-R15 examinations from 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. The gap between GSA-R15 and ICG-R15 was defined as ΔICG and the factors predicting liver fibrosis were investigated. RESULTS In the pathologically-proven cirrhotic group, platelet counts were significantly lower and ΔICG values were significantly larger than those in the non-/early-cirrhotic group. A multivariate analysis identified a higher total bilirubin level, a higher AST level, and a larger ΔICG level as significant predictive factors for liver cirrhosis. CONCLUSION Larger ΔICG was found to be an independent preoperative predictor of liver fibrosis and may positively contribute to decision-making before hepatectomy to avoid PHLF.

Abstract
Background Despite recent advances in systemic chemotherapy, the prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer still remains poor. Nonetheless, several efficacious intraperitoneal chemotherapy regimens have recently been developed for patients with peritoneal metastases. However, no study has investigated the effectiveness of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for metachronous peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer after curative surgery. Case presentation We herein report a case of a 65-year-old man who had metachronous peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer after curative total gastrectomy who had been successfully treated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy. One month after surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was initiated given a final pathological stage of IIIB (pT4aN2M0). However, during adjuvant chemotherapy 12 months after surgery, tumor marker levels, which had been within normal range before surgery, increased with abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealing pelvic ascites. Thereafter, staging laparoscopy was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with peritoneal recurrence of gastric cancer. Following staging laparoscopy, an intraperitoneal access port was subcutaneously implanted for subsequent intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Combined chemotherapy with intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of paclitaxel and oral S-1 was then provided. After one course of combined chemotherapy, peritoneal lavage cytology was negative for malignancy. CT showed gradually decreasing ascites, whereas tumor marker levels returned to normal. The patient continued chemotherapy without major side effects and remained progression-free for 33 months with 36 chemotherapy cycles. Conclusions A combination regimen including intraperitoneal chemotherapy could be a promising option for patients with peritoneal recurrence after gastric cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been two reports on preserving the proximal gastric tube by using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG)-based photodynamic detection to evaluate blood flow through the anastomosis for gastric tube cancer after esophagectomy. However, in those cases, the period since the first operation was > 3 years 11 months, and there have been no reports of cases with < 1-year periods after the first operation. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old man underwent video-assisted thoracic subtotal esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction after two courses of preoperative chemotherapy for middle thoracic esophageal cancer. After half a year, follow-up upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a submucosal tumor in the posterior wall of the pre-pyloric region. We performed a biopsy, and the results led to a diagnosis of gastric cancer (moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma: tub2). Clinically, the patient was described as having stage IB (cT2N0M0) gastric cancer of the reconstructed gastric tube. To avoid total gastrectomy, we tried to evaluate the blood flow of the proximal part of the gastric tube by intraoperative ICG-based photodynamic detection. Intraoperative findings confirmed neo-vascularization from the remnant cervical esophagus to the upper region of the gastric tube approximately 7 cm through the esophagogastric anastomosis. Therefore, we dissected the distal part of the gastric tube approximately 4 cm from the esophagogastric anastomosis and then performed Roux-en-Y gastro-jejunostomy via the ante-sternum route. The postoperative course was stable, and the patient was discharged on the 14th postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS ICG-based photodynamic diagnosis was found to be simple and less invasive. Therefore, even if the postoperative period is short, this method should be considered for evaluation of blood flow prior to performing less invasive surgery.

Abstract
Background Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is one of the immune checkpoint molecules that negatively regulate the function of T cells. Although recent studies indicate that PD-1 is also expressed on other immune cells besides T cells, its role remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate PD-1 expression on macrophages and examine its effect on anti-tumor immunity in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Methods The frequency of PD-1+ macrophages obtained from GC tissue was determined by multicolor flow cytometry (n = 15). Double immunohistochemistry staining of PD-1 and CD68 was also performed to evaluate the correlations among the frequency of PD-1+ macrophages, clinicopathological characteristics, and prognosis in GC patients (n = 102). Results The frequency of PD-1+ macrophages was significantly higher in GC tissue than in non-tumor gastric tissue. The phagocytotic activity of PD-1+ macrophages was severely impaired compared with that of PD-1− macrophages. The 5-year disease-specific survival rates in patients with PD-1+ macrophageLow (the frequency of PD-1+ macrophages; < 0.85%) and those with PD-1+ macrophageHigh (the frequency of PD-1+ macrophages; ≥ 0.85%) were 85.9 and 65.8%, respectively (P = 0.008). Finally, multivariate analysis showed the frequency of PD-1+ macrophage to be an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions The function of PD-1+ macrophage was severely impaired and increased frequency of PD-1+ macrophage worsened the prognosis of GC patients. PD-1–PD-L1 therapies may function through a direct effect on macrophages in GC.

Abstract
Background The differences in gastric cancer between East and West have been frequently discussed. However, there are few studies that have compared Japan and China in Asia. Methods Patient characteristics, surgical procedures and pathologic information were compared among gastric cancer patients who underwent curative-intent gastrectomy at two large volume cancer centers in China and Japan. Results The median age of Japanese patients is 70 years, seven years older than those in China, and more than 25% of Japanese patients were older than 75. In China, the tumor was thicker, and lymph node metastasis was frequently observed. Total gastrectomy was more common in China (35.6% vs 21.9%). Distal gastrectomy rate was 56.0 percent in Japan, compared to 42.2 percent in China. The proportion of patients undergoing proximal gastrectomy was almost equal in China and Japan. Further analysis of the characteristics of patients undergoing total gastrectomy revealed that in China, more advanced gastric cancer patients with larger tumors and more lymph node metastasis underwent total gastrectomy, while in Japan, more early stage gastric cancer patients underwent total gastrectomy. Conclusion There are some differences in gastric cancer between Japan and China. China needs to learn from Japan by establishing some screening programs for the diagnosis and treatment of early gastric cancer.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has indicated that immune regulatory cells are involved in the establishment of tumoral immune evasion. However, the role of regulatory B cells (Bregs) in this remains unclear. Here, we identified a role for Bregs in immune evasion in gastric cancer (GC) patients. The frequency of peripheral Bregs was significantly higher in GC patients than in healthy controls (P = 0.0023). Moreover, the frequency of CD19+CD24hiCD27+ B cells in GC tissue was significantly higher than in peripheral blood and healthy gastric tissue. Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester labeling revealed that CD19+CD24hiCD27+ B cells could suppress the proliferation of autologous CD4+ T cells. Moreover, CD19+CD24hiCD27+ B cells inhibited the production of interferon-gamma by CD4+ T cells. Double staining immunohistochemistry of interleukin-10 and CD19 revealed 5-year overall survival rates of 65.4% and 13.3% in BregLow and BregHigh groups, respectively (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis indicated that the frequency of Bregs was an independent prognostic indicator in GC patients. Taken together, our results show the existence of Bregs in GC tissue, and indicate that they are significantly correlated with the prognosis of GC patients.
