Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of these evidence-based guidelines is to present a consensus position from members of the Italian Unitary Society of Colon-Proctology (SIUCP: Società Italiana Unitaria di Colon-Proctologia) on the diagnosis and management of anal fissure, with the purpose to guide every physician in the choice of the best treatment option, according with the available literature. METHODS A panel of experts was designed and charged by the Board of the SIUCP to develop key-questions on the main topics covering the management of anal fissure and to performe an accurate search on each topic in different databanks, in order to provide evidence-based answers to the questions and to summarize them in statements. All the clinical questions were discussed by the expert panel in different rounds through the Delphi approach and, for each statement, a consensus among the experts was reached. The questions were created according to the PICO criteria, and the statements developed adopting the GRADE methodology. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute anal fissure the medical therapy with dietary and behavioral norms is indicated. In the chronic phase of disease, the conservative treatment with topical 0.3% nifedipine plus 1.5% lidocaine or nitrates may represent the first-line therapy, eventually associated with ointments with film-forming, anti-inflammatory and healing properties such as Propionibacterium extract gel. In case of first-line treatment failure, the surgical strategy (internal sphincterotomy or fissurectomy with flap), may be guided by the clinical findings, eventually supported by endoanal ultrasound and anal manometry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Condylomata are a manifestation of HPV infection of the ano-genital epithelium. Recurrence is frequent after any type of treatment (from 20% up to 50%). We assessed the use of a gel containing panthenol, tocopheryl acetate and Propionibacterium extract in the treatment of anal warts. METHODS Enrollment period was from January 15 to June 15, 2018. Main exclusion criteria were immunodepression, extensive condylomatosis and other treatments (topical/ablative) in the previous six months. RESULTS Seventy-nine patients were included. Median age was 33 years (19-65), 72.2% were males. Median number of partners and symptoms duration were 6 (1-98) and 3 months (1-18), respectively. Almost all cases had perianal disease (97.5%), while endoanal warts were present in 51.9% of cases. After 30 days of treatment, complete regression occurred in 17 (21.5%) patients, while partial or absent response was reported in 36 (45.6%) and 26 (32.9%) cases, respectively. Forty-seven (59.5%) patients underwent a second month of topical therapy. After a 6-month follow-up, complete or partial response was reported in 53 (67.1%) patients, while in 26 (32.9%) cases the disease remained stable or even worsened. Nineteen (24.1%) patients required cryotherapy, 23 (29.1%) surgical excision, while 2 (2.5%) needed both cryotherapy and surgery. Absence of clinical response was associated with a number of partners ≥10 and symptoms duration of 6 months or shorter (P<0.001 and P=0.050). CONCLUSIONS In our study, the gel containing P. acnes lysate was a safe topical treatment for perianal and endoanal condylomata and could help to overcome HPV infection. A high number of partners and short symptoms duration appeared to worsen the outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracorporeal (IIA) and extracorporeal anastomosis (EIA) are two well-established techniques for restoration of bowel continuity after laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC). Since no economic analysis comparing the two different anastomotic techniques has been performed yet, it is still unclear if IIA can reduce perioperative costs. The aim of the study was to compare costs of LRC with IIA or EIA for right-sided colon neoplasm. METHODS This is a cost analysis of a single-institution double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of LRC with IIA and LRC with EIA in patients with a right-sided colon neoplasm. All direct in-hospital costs related to patient's admission were recorded (intraoperative costs: operative room, surgical tools, blood units-postoperative costs: hospital stay, laboratory and microbiology analyses, diagnostic services, analgesic drugs and antibiotic therapy, blood units, reoperation-outpatient costs: post-discharge wound medications). This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, Number NCT03045107. RESULTS A total of 140 patients were randomized and analyzed. Mean overall costs in the IIA group exceeded 349 € the mean overall costs of the EIA group (7926.87 ± 4617.23 € vs. 7577.45 ± 6131.17 €; P = 0.704). A mean extra charge of 608 € regarding total intraoperative costs was recorded in the IIA group (3058.84 ± 897.42 € vs. 2450.15 ± 558.90 €; P < 0.001). The cost of surgical instruments resulted in 542 € additional charge per patient in the IIA group compared to EIA group (1782.74 ± 541.26 € vs. 1240.55 ± 384.09 €; P < 0.001). The mean cost of operative room occupancy was comparable in IIA and EIA group: 1276.09 ± 514.94 € vs. 1209.60 ± 422.80 € (P = 0.405). No significant differences were observed in postoperative costs and in outpatient costs. CONCLUSION This economic analysis showed that IIA and EIA after LRC had similar overall costs, even though there were intraoperative extra costs of IIA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intra-abdominal abscesses complicating Crohn's disease (CD) present an additional challenge as their presence can contraindicate immunosuppressive treatment whilst emergency surgery is associated with high stoma rate and complications. Treatment options include a conservative approach, percutaneous drainage, and surgical intervention. The current multicentre study audited the short-term outcomes of patients who underwent preoperative radiological drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses up to 6 weeks prior to surgery for ileocolonic CD. METHODS This is a retrospective, multicentre, observational study promoted by the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR), including all adults undergoing ileocolic resection for primary or recurrent CD from June 2018 to May 2019. The outcomes of patients who underwent radiological guided drainage prior to ileocolonic resection were compared to the patients who did not require preoperative drainage. Postoperative morbidity within 30 days of surgery was the primary endpoint. Postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) and anastomotic leak rate were the secondary outcomes. RESULTS Amongst a group of 575 included patients who had an ileocolic resection for CD, there were 36 patients (6.2%) who underwent abscess drainage prior to surgery. Postoperative morbidity (44.4%) and anastomotic leak (11.1%) were significantly higher in the group of patients who underwent preoperative drainage. CONCLUSIONS Patients with Crohn's disease who require preoperative radiological guided drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses are at increased risk of postoperative morbidity and septic complications following ileocaecal or re-do ileocolic resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of anal fistulas is still a challenge. The aims of this study were to evaluate the adoption and healing rates for the different surgical techniques used in Italy over the past 15 years. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective observational study of patients affected by simple and complex anal fistulas of cryptoglandular origin who were surgically treated in the period 2003-2017. Surgical techniques were grouped as sphincter-cutting or sphincter-sparing and as technology-assisted or techno-free. All patients included in the study were followed for at least 12 months. RESULTS A total of 9,536 patients (5,520 simple; 4,016 complex fistulas) entered the study. For simple fistulas, fistulotomy was the most frequently used procedure, although its adoption significantly decreased over the years (P < .0005), with an increase in sphincter-sparing approaches; the overall healing rate in simple fistulas was 81.1%, with a significant difference between sphincter-cutting (91.9%) and sphincter-sparing (65.1%) techniques (P = .001). For complex fistulas, the adoption of sphincter-cutting approaches decreased, while sphincter-sparing techniques were mildly preferred (P < .0005). Moreover, there was a significant trend toward the use of technology-assisted procedures. The overall healing rate for complex fistulas was 69.0%, with a measurable difference between sphincter-cutting (81.1%) and sphincter-sparing (61.4%; P = .001) techniques and between techno-free and technology-assisted techniques (72.5% and 55.0%, respectively; P = .001). CONCLUSION Surgical treatment of anal fistulas has changed, with a trend toward the use of sphincter-sparing techniques. The overall cure rate has remained stable, even if the most innovative procedures have achieved a lower success rate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Temporary ileostomy is a valuable aid in reducing the severity of complications related to rectal cancer surgery. However, it is still unclear what is the best timing of its closure in relation to the feasibility of an adjuvant treatment, especially considering patient-reported outcomes and health system costs. The aim of the study is to compare the results of an early versus late closure strategy in patients with indication to adjuvant chemotherapy after resection for rectal cancer. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a prospective multicentre randomised trial, sponsored by Rete Oncologica Piemonte e Valle d'Aosta (Oncology Network of Piedmont and Aosta Valley-Italy). Patients undergone to rectal cancer surgery with temporary ileostomy, aged >18 years, without evidence of anastomotic leak and with indication to adjuvant chemotherapy will be enrolled in 28 Network centres. An early closure strategy (between 30 and 40 days from rectal surgery) will be compared with a late one (after the end of adjuvant therapy). Primary endpoint will be the compliance to adjuvant chemotherapy with and without ileostomy. Complications associated with stoma closure as well as quality of life, costs and oncological outcomes will be assessed as secondary endpoints. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial will engage the Network professional teams in a common effort to improve the treatment of rectal cancer by ensuring the best results in relation to the most correct use of resources. It will take into consideration both the patients' point of view (patient-reported outcome) and the health system perspective (costs analysis). The study has been approved by the Ethical Review Board of Città della Salute e della Scienza Hospital in Turin (Italy). The results of the study will be disseminated by the Network website, medical conferences and peer-reviewed scientific journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04372992.

Abstract
A limited ileocaecal resection is the most frequently performed procedure for ileocaecal CD and different anastomotic configurations and techniques have been described. This manuscript audited the different anastomotic techniques used in a national study and evaluated their influence on postoperative outcomes following ileocaecal resection for primary CD. This is a retrospective, multicentre, observational study promoted by the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR), including all adults undergoing elective ileocaecal resection for primary CD from June 2018 May 2019. Postoperative morbidity within 30 days of surgery was the primary endpoint. Postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) and anastomotic leak rate were the secondary outcomes. 427 patients were included. The side to side anastomosis was the chosen configuration in 380 patients (89%). The stapled anastomotic (n = 286; 67%), techniques were preferred to hand-sewn (n = 141; 33%). Postoperative morbidity was 20.3% and anastomotic leak 3.7%. Anastomotic leak was independent of the type of anastomosis performed, while was associated with an ASA grade ≥ 3, presence of perianal disease and ileocolonic localization of disease. Four predictors of LOS were identified after multivariate analysis. The laparoscopic approach was the only associated with a reduced LOS (p = 0.017), while age, ASA grade ≥ 3 or administration of preoperative TPN were associated with increased LOS. The side to side was the most commonly used anastomotic configuration for ileocolic reconstruction following primary CD resection. There was no difference in postoperative morbidity according to anastomotic technique and configuration. Anastomotic leak was associated with ASA grade ≥ 3, a penetrating phenotype of disease and ileo-colonic distribution of CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to analyze the results of selective inguinal node irradiation in patients with anal cancer, based on the biopsy of the inguinal sentinel lymph node (SLN), in terms of local control and prognosis. METHODS Records of patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma from January 2001 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Tc99 lymphoscintigraphy was performed in all the clinically inguinal negative patients, followed by radio-guided surgical removal of the inguinal SLN. All patients were treated with combined radiochemotherapy. In patients with negative sentinel nodes, the inguinal area was excluded in the radiotherapy field. RESULTS A total of 123 patients, 76 females (61.8%), mean age 60.1 ± 12.19 years old, underwent intraoperative lymph node retrieval. The histological analysis showed metastasis in the SLN in 28 patients (22.8%). The mean follow-up was 43.44 ± 31.86 months. No inguinal recurrence was observed in patients with negative inguinal sentinel node(s). A statistically significant difference was observed for overall and disease-free survivals in a patient with positive and negative inguinal sentinel nodes. CONCLUSIONS In patients with anal canal cancer, the exclusion of the inguinal regions from the radiotherapy field, in patients with negative SLN, does not compromise locoregional control nor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhoids are a common disease that is often considered an easy problem to solve. Unfortunately, some particular clinical conditions, including Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), pregnancy, immunosuppression, coagulopathy, cirrhosis with portal hypertension, and proctitis after radiotherapy, challenge hemorrhoids management and the outcomes. METHODS Research and online contents related to hemorrhoids' treatment in special conditions are reviewed in order to help colorectal surgeons in daily practice. RESULTS There are very limited data about the outcomes of hemorrhoids treatment in these subgroups of patients. Patients in pregnancy can be effectively treated with medical therapy, reserving surgical intervention in highly selected and urgent cases. In case of thrombosed haemorrhoids, the excision allows a fast symptoms' resolution, with a low incidence of recurrence and a long remission interval. In case of immunosuppressed patients, there is no consensus for the best treatment, even in most HIV positive patients, a surgical procedure can be safely proposed when indicated. There is no sufficient data in the literature related to transplanted patients. The surgical treatment of hemorrhoids in patients with IBD, especially Crohn's Disease, can be unsafe, although there is a paucity of literature on this topic. In case of previous pelvic radiotherapy, it must always be considered that severe complications, like abscesses and fistulas with subsequent pelvic and retroperitoneal sepsis, can occur after surgical treatment of hemorrhoids, so a conservative treatment is advocated. Moreover, caution is recommended in treating patients with coagulopathy, considering possible complications (mostly bleeding) also after outpatient treatments. In case of portal hypertension and cirrhosis, a 'conservative treatment' is recommended. Bleeding hemorrhoids can be treated with hemorrhoidectomy when they do not respond to other treatments. CONCLUSION International literature is very scant about the treatment of patients affected by hemorrhoids in particular situations. A word of caution and concern even about the indication for minor outpatient procedures must be expressed in these patients, in order to avoid possible life-threatening complications. The first-line treatment is the conservative medical approach associated with the treatment of the primary disease.

Abstract
Proctitis is an inflammation involving the anus and the distal part of the rectum, frequently diagnosed in the context of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Nevertheless, when the standard therapy for IBD is ineffective, it becomes necessary for the clinician to review alternative etiologies, beginning from the broad chapter of infectious causes up to rare causes such as radiation, ischemia, diversion and traumatisms. While it is possible to find infectious proctitides caused by pathogens generally inducing extensive colitis, the growing incidence of both sexually transmitted infections and isolated proctitis reported in the recent years require a lot of attention. The risk appears to be higher in individuals participating in anal intercourse, especially men having sex with men (MSM) or subjects who use sex toys and participate to sex parties, dark rooms and so on. The commonest implicated pathogens are Neysseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Herpes Simplex virus and Treponema pallidum. Herpes and Chlamydia infections mainly occur in HIV-positive MSM patients. Since symptoms and signs are common independently from etiology, performing a differential diagnosis based on clinical manifestations is complicated. Therefore, the diagnosis is supported by the combination of clinical history and physical examination and, secondly, by endoscopic, serologic and microbiologic findings. Particular emphasis should be given to simultaneous infections by multiple organisms. The involvement of experts in infectious diseases and in sexual health is crucial for the diagnostic and therapeutic management. The available therapies, empirically initiated or specific, in many cases are able to guarantee a good prognosis and to prevent relapses.

Abstract
Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is the most common proctological disease in the Western countries. However, its real prevalence is underestimated due to the frequent self-medication.The aim of this consensus statement is to provide evidence-based data to allow an individualized and appropriate management and treatment of HD. The strategy used to search for evidence was based on application of electronic sources such as MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Review Library, CINAHL, and EMBASE.These guidelines are inclusive and not prescriptive.The recommendations were defined and graded based on the current levels of evidence and in accordance with the criteria adopted by American College of Chest Physicians. The recommendations were graded A, B, and C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An organ-preserving strategy may be a valid alternative in the treatment of selected patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Preoperative assessment of the risk for tumor recurrence is a key component of surgical planning. The aim of the present study was to increase the current knowledge on the risk factors for tumor recurrence. METHODS The present study included individual participant data of published studies on rectal cancer surgery. The literature was reviewed according to according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Individual Participant Data checklist (PRISMA-IPD) guidelines. Series of patients, whose data were collected prospectively, having neoadjuvant radiotherapy followed by transanal local excision for rectal cancer were reviewed. Three independent series of univariate/multivariate binary logistic regression models were estimated for the risk of local, systemic and overall recurrence, respectively. RESULTS We identified 15 studies, and 7 centers provided individual data on 517 patients. The multivariate analysis showed higher local and overall recurrences for ypT3 stage (OR 4.79; 95% CI 2.25-10.16 and OR 6.43 95% CI 3.33-12.42), tumor size after radiotherapy > 10 mm (OR 5.86 95% CI 2.33-14.74 and OR 3.14 95% CI 1.68-5.87), and lack of combined chemotherapy (OR 3.68 95% CI 1.78-7.62 and OR 2.09 95% CI 1.10-3.97), while ypT3 was the only factor correlated with systemic recurrence (OR 5.93). The analysis of survival curves shows that the overall survival is associated with ypT and not with cT. CONCLUSIONS Local excision should be offered with caution after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy to selected patients with rectal cancers, who achieved a good response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anus is a human papilloma virus (HPV) related malignancy that is preceded by anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) making this cancer, at least theoretically, a preventable disease. In the past 10 years the diagnosis, management and nomenclature of AIN has dramatically changed. Increased life expectancy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients due to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has caused an increase in the incidence of SCC of the anus. While many experts recommend screening and treatment of anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), there is no consensus on the optimal management these lesions. Therefore, there is a need to review the current evidence on diagnosis and treatment of AIN and formulate recommendations to guide management. Surgeons who are members of the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR) with a recognized interest in AIN were invited to contribute on various topics after a comprehensive literature search. Levels of evidence were classified using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine of 2009 and the strength of recommendation was graded according to the United States (US) preventive services task force. These recommendations are among the few entirely dedicated only to the precursors of SCC of the anus and provide an evidence-based summary of the current knowledge about the management of AIN that will serve as a reference for clinicians involved in the treatment of patients at risk for anal cancer.

Abstract
Background: In anal cancer, there are no markers nor other laboratory indexes that can predict prognosis and guide clinical practice for patients treated with concurrent chemoradiation. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the influence of immune inflammation indicators on treatment outcome of anal cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Methods: All patients had a histologically proven diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal/margin treated with chemoradiotherapy according to the Nigro’s regimen. Impact on prognosis of pre-treatment systemic index of inflammation (SII) (platelet x neutrophil/lymphocyte), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were analyzed. Results: A total of 161 consecutive patients were available for the analysis. Response to treatment was the single most important factor for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). At univariate analysis, higher SII level was significantly correlated to lower PFS (p<0.01) and OS (p=0.046). NLR level was significantly correlated to PFS (p=0.05), but not to OS (p=0.06). PLR level significantly affected both PFS (p<0.01) and OS (p=0.02). On multivariate analysis pre-treatment, SII level was significantly correlated to PFS (p=0.0079), but not to OS (p=0.15). We developed and externally validated on a cohort of 147 patients a logistic nomogram using SII, nodal status and pre-treatment Hb levels. Results showed a good predictive ability with C-index of 0.74. An online available calculator has also been developed. Conclusion: The low cost and easy profile in terms of determination and reproducibility make SII a promising tool for prognostic assessment in this oncological setting.

Abstract
Background To evaluate clinical outcomes of simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) - intensity modulated radiotherapy (RT) in patients with non metastatic anal cancer compared to those of a set of patients treated with 3-dimensional conformal RT and sequential boost (SeqB). Methods A retrospective cohort of 190 anal cancer patients treated at 3 academic centers with concurrent chemo-RT employing either SIB or SeqB was analysed. The SIB-group consisted of 87 patients, treated with 2 cycles of Mitomycin (MMC) and 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) using SIB-IMRT delivering 42-45Gy/28–30 fractions to the elective pelvic lymph nodes and 50.4-54Gy/28-30fractions to the primary tumor and involved nodes, based on pre-treatment staging. The SeqB group comprised 103 patients, treated with MMC associated to either 5FU or Capecitabine concurrent to RT with 36 Gy/20 fractions to a single volume including gross tumor, clinical nodes and elective nodal volumes and a SeqB to primary tumor and involved nodes of 23.4 Gy/13 fractions. We compared colostomy-free survival (CFS), overall survival (OS) and the cumulative incidence of colostomy for each radiation modality. Cox proportional-hazards model addressed factors influencing OS and CFS. Results Median follow up was 34 (range 9–102) and 31 months (range 2–101) in the SIB and SeqB groups. The 1- and 2-year cumulative incidences of colostomy were 8.2% (95%CI:3.6–15.2) and 15.0% (95%CI:8.1–23.9) in the SIB group and 13.9% (95%CI: 7.8–21.8) and 18.1% (95%CI:10.8–27.0) in the SeqB group. Two-year CFS and OS were 78.1% (95%CI:67.0–85.8) and 87.5% (95%CI:77.3–93.3) in the SIB group and 73.5% (95%CI:62.6–81.7) and 85.4% (95%CI:75.5–91.6) in the SeqB, respectively. A Cox proportional hazards regression model highlighted an adjusted hazard ratio (AdjHR) of 1.18 (95%CI: 0.67–2.09;p = 0.560), although AdjHR for the first 24 months was 0.95 (95%CI: 0.49–1.84;p = 0.877) for the SIB approach. Conclusions SIB-based RT provides similar clinical outcomes compared to SeqB-based in the treatment of patients affected with non metastatic anal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evidence supporting the use of the air leak test (ALT) after laparoscopic left-sided colon resection (LLCR) to test the colorectal anastomosis (CA) integrity aiming at reducing the rate of postoperative CA leakage (CAL) is not conclusive. The aim of this study was to challenge the use of ALT after elective LLCR. METHODS It is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database including all patients undergoing elective LLCR with primary CA and no proximal bowel diversion between January 1996 and June 2017. The decision to perform the ALT was based on the individual surgeon routine practice. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for CAL. RESULTS A total of 777 LLCR without proximal diversion were included in the analysis: the CA was tested in 398 patients (ALT group), while intraoperative ALT was not performed in 379 patients (No-ALT group). The two groups were similar in demographic characteristics, indication, and type of procedure. Intraoperative ALT was positive in 20 (5%) patients: a stoma was created in 14 (70%) patients, while 6 (30%) patients had a suture repair alone. Overall, postoperative CAL occurred in 32 patients (4.1%): the postoperative CAL rate was lower in ALT patients (2.5% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.025). A reoperation was needed in 87.5% of cases. No CAL occurred in the 20 patients with intraoperative positive ALT. Multivariate analysis showed that ASA score 3-4 (OR 5.39, 95% CI 2.53-11.51, p < 0.001) and male sex (OR 3.96, 95% CI 1.66-9.43, p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for postoperative CAL, while intraoperative ALT independently reduced the postoperative CAL rate (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.18-0.88, p = 0.022). CONCLUSION Intraoperative ALT allows to detect AL defects after LLCR that can be effectively managed intraoperatively, leading to a significant lower risk of postoperative CAL.

PURPOSE To investigate whether irradiated volume of pelvic active bone marrow (ACTBM) may predict decreased blood cells nadirs in anal cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemo-radiation. METHODS Forty-four patients were analyzed and pelvic active bone marrow (ACTBM) was characterized employing 18FDG-PET. Dosimetric parameters on dose-volume histograms were correlated to nadirs with generalized linear modeling. RESULTS ACTBM mean dose was significantly correlated to white blood cell (β = -1.338; 95%CI: -2.455/-0.221; p = 0.020), absolute neutrophil count (β = -1.651; 95%CI: -3.284/-0.183; p = 0.048), and platelets (β = -0.031; 95%CI: -0.057/-0.004; p = 0.024) nadirs. Other dosimetric parameters were found to be correlated (ACTBM-V10,-V20,-V30and-V40). CONCLUSIONS 18FDG-PET is able to define active bone marrow and may predict for decreased blood cells count nadirs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemo-radiation (CT-RT) is a standard therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of anal canal. Different clinical and biological factors may potentially affect outcome. We investigated the prognostic role of baseline hemoglobin (Hb) in a cohort of anal cancer patients submitted to CT-RT with 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C. METHODS Up to 161 patients with clinical stage T1-T4/N0-N3/M0 were treated. Response was assessed at 6 weeks and thereafter at 3, 6 and 12 months. Two different approaches were used:a)simultaneous integrated boost following RTOG 05-29 indications;b)first sequence of 45Gy/25 fractions to the pelvis followed by 9-14.4 Gy/5-8 fractions to the macroscopic disease. Primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS On multivariate analysis, pre-treatment Hb level had a significant correlation to OS (HR:0.53;95% CI:0.33-0.87; p = 0.001), but not to PFS (HR:0.78;95% CI:0.53-1.15; p = 0.12) Patients with pre-treatment Hb ≥ 12 g/dl had 5-year PFS and OS of 82.2%, compared to 29.3% and 32.8% for those below the threshold. The likelihood to achieve a complete remission increased by 5.6% for every single-unit (g/dl) increase in baseline Hb level over 11 g/dl. On multivariate analysis, response to treatment had a significant correlation to PFS (incomplete vs complete response - HR:5.43;95% CI:2.75-10.7; p < 0.0001) and OS (HR: 6.96;95% CI:2.96-16.5; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS We showed that baseline Hb level is a strong indicator for poor response to RT-CT in anal cancer patients. A close clinical monitoring for incomplete response to treatment should be advised in patients with low pre-treatment Hb. The hypothesis that the preservation of adequate Hb level during treatment may lead to a better outcome needs prospective evaluation.

Abstract
Aims and Background Anal cancer is a rare condition. The inguinal lymph nodes are the most common site of metastasis in this neoplasm. The inguinal lymph node status is an important prognostic indicator and the presence of metastases is an independent prognostic factor for local failure and overall mortality. Depending on the primary tumor size and histological differentiation, metastasis to superficial inguinal lymph nodes occurs in 15-25% of cases. Methods and Study Design To evaluate the inguinal lymph node status we performed a search for the sentinel node in a female patient affected by squamous anal carcinoma. Results Identification and examination of the sentinel node was positive and postoperative histology showed the presence of bilateral lymph node metastases. Conclusions We suggest that examination of the sentinel node in anal cancer could be an efficient way to establish the inguinal lymph node status, which would help the clinician to plan and perform adequate treatment.

Abstract
The status of axillary nodes is the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer to select patient subgroups for adjuvant chemotherapy; the current standard of care for surgical management of invasive breast cancer is complete removal of the tumor by either mastectomy or lumpectomy followed by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). The recent introduction of intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLND) represents a major new opportunity for appropriate and less invasive surgical management of many tumors. There is an almost uniformly enthusiasm concerning the potential of this technique in breast carcinoma management, shown by published data. A peculiar attention to the so-called “sentinel node debate” in breast cancer surgery is a constant in the last years issues of the major medical journals. Even patients have become more aware about medical enthusiasm and their request of concise information on the topic and the possibilities of this approach is an increasing reality in medical practice. The aim of this paper is to review recent literature to offer an overview about the main controversial methodological aspects and a wide analysis of reported results. The most significative international literature papers from Medline were retrieved from 1993 to September 1999, and 4782 procedures were analysed. This extensive review of the literature has confirmed accuracy, feasibility and reliability of the SN detecting technique in axillary mapping. Provided a good proficiency in SN localisation and pathological evaluation, human resources and efforts should be mainly focused on its clinical validation as an alternative to ALND instead of on further phase I–-II clinical studies.

Abstract
Introduction Granular cell tumor was first described by Abrikossoff in 1926. Over the years several cases of this neoplasm have been reported, with a variety of localizations. We here report a case of perianal granular cell tumor and discuss its histogenesis and its relevance to clinical practice. Methods The clinical course and histopathology of the case are reviewed, and a literature search for other reported cases has been performed. Results A 46-year-old woman presented with a perianal nodular lesion. Pathological examination revealed a granular cell tumor. A literature search produced only 25 other cases of anal and perianal granular cell tumors. Conclusions Granular cell tumors are rarely observed in the perianal region. Their existence must always be borne in mind in the differential diagnosis of perianal neoplasms. In most cases surgical excision is curative, but potential malignant transformation must be considered during therapeutic procedures and follow-up.

Abstract
Introduction Gastrointestinal metastases from breast cancer are rare. One large series reported a rate of 0.7% of gastrointestinal metastatic manifestations from breast cancer, but its true incidence could be underestimated. Here we report a case of bowel obstruction caused by sigmoid metastases from breast cancer and describe its relevance to histological origin and clinical practice. Methods The clinical course and histopathology of the case are reviewed and compared with reports of similar cases in the literature. Results An 80-year-old woman presented with bowel obstruction. Her medical history included infiltrating lobular breast cancer treated with left radical mastectomy 25 years before the current presentation; 13 years later bone metastases developed and were treated with hormone therapy. In 2003 the patient came to our emergency department because of symptoms of bowel obstruction. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass in the distal sigmoid causing the obstruction. A colostomy was performed, followed by a second operation completed with Hartmann's procedure. Histological examination revealed metastases from invasive lobular carcinoma. The patient was discharged 45 days postoperatively and died 9 months later because of disease progression. Conclusions Although gastrointestinal metastases from breast cancer are rare, patients with diagnosed breast cancer, particularly invasive lobular carcinoma, should be regularly followed up with endoscopy, CT, endosonography and PET-CT when abdominal symptoms are present. This could permit early diagnosis of gastrointestinal metastases and improve treatment planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Condylomata acuminata are the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide. They are not usually a serious problem, but it causes emotional distress to patient and physician alike because of its marked tendency to recurrence. The presence of anogenital warts mandates treatment, also for potential degeneration of the lesions. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A review of the literature has been performed to analyze proposed treatments for anogenital warts. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Many treatments have been employed. They include cytotoxic agents, immunomodulation and physical ablation. The choice of the appropriate treatment varies depending on the number, size, and location of warts. Complications of various treatments are rare but include permanent depigmentation, itching, pain, scarring, bleeding, anal stenosis or incontinence and sepsis. The therapy of these lesions can sometimes be very painful and expensive, and therapy should not be worse than the disease. CONCLUSIONS No specific antiviral treatment is currently available, and no consensus has been reached on the appropriate treatment for anogenital warts. No data are available to indicate whether treatment eliminates infectivity, the primary aim of treatment being to remove the lesions. There is a paucity of published randomized trials. Despite the introduction of antiviral treatments such as interferon, immunomodulating agents or imiquimod, surgical destruction or removal remains the treatment of choice.

Abstract
AIM To report on clinical outcomes of simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and concurrent chemotherapy as per Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0529 protocol in anal cancer patients. METHODS Clinical stage T1-T4 N0-N3 anal cancer patients were submitted to concomitant chemoradiation. Patients with cT2N0 disease were prescribed 50.4 Gy/28 fractions to the gross tumor planning target volume (PTV) and 42 Gy/28 fractions to the elective nodal PTV. Patients staged as cT3-T4/N0-N3 were given 54 Gy/30 fractions to the macroscopic anal PTV, while clinical nodes were prescribed 50.4 Gy/30 fractions if <3 cm or 54 Gy/30 fractions if ≥3 cm; elective nodal PTV was prescribed 45 Gy/30 fractions. Two cycles of concomitant 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C were planned for all patients. Oncological outcomes, acute and late toxicity profiles and pattern of failure were reported. RESULTS The 3-year colostomy-free survival rate was 64% (95% CI 0.52-0.75). The 3-year local control, disease-free and overall survival rates were 69% (95% CI 0.57-0.79), 71% (95% CI 0.59-0.80) and 79% (95% CI 0.66-0.87), respectively. The cumulative incidence of colostomies was 15.1% (95% CI 8.15-23.88) at 24 months. The cumulative incidence of cancer-specific deaths was 16.4% (95% CI 8.60-26.47) at 36 months. Major acute toxicity consisted of hematological (G3-G4: 26%) and cutaneous (G3-G4: 16%) events. Only one case of ≥G3 late toxicity was documented. CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous integrated boost IMRT and concurrent chemotherapy as per RTOG 0529 protocol seems to be safe and feasible with consistent oncological outcomes and a mild acute and late toxicity profile in anal cancer patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hematologic toxicity is an important side effect occurring in patients affected with anal cancer, undergoing combined radio-chemotherapy, with consistent clinical meaningfulness. Areas covered: Since more than a half of bone marrow is comprised within the pelvic region, the radiation dose received by this functional compartment is crucial. Modern imaging modalities may provide a useful tool to identify bone marrow and new delivery technology may enhance the radiation oncologist's possibility to selectively spare these structures, potentially decreasing acute hematologic toxicity profile in this setting. Expert commentary: Correlation between dose to pelvic structures and acute hematologic toxicity has been studied in several oncological settings, mainly on a retrospective frame. Different dose metrics were found to be correlated including mean doses and different points within the dose-volume histogram ranging from low to medium-high doses. Several imaging modalities were used to identify bone marrow both morphological and functional. Several clinical endpoints were used. In general, accounting for bone marrow during the treatment planning process may be important to decrease the acute hematologic toxicity profile during concurrent chemo-radiation in anal cancer patients. The most appropriate strategy to address this issue need further investigation and deserve validation in a prospective clinical framework.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to model acute hematologic toxicity (HT) and dose to pelvic osseous structures in anal cancer patients treated with definitive chemo-radiation (CT-RT). A total of 53 patients receiving CT-RT were analyzed. Pelvic bone marrow and corresponding subsites were contoured: ilium, lower pelvis and lumbosacral spine (LSBM). Dose-volume histograms points and mean doses were collected. Logistic regression was performed to correlate dosimetric parameters and ≥G3 HT as endpoint. Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) was evaluated with the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) model. Logistic regression showed a significant correlation between LSBM-mean dose and ≥G3 leukopenia (β coefficient 0.122; p = 0.030; 95% CI 0.012-0.233). According to NTCP modeling, the predicted HT probability had the following parameters: TD50: 37.5 Gy, γ 50: 1.15, m: 0.347. For node positive patients, TD50: 35.2 Gy, γ 50: 2.27, m: 0.176 were found. Node positive patients had significantly higher PBM-V15 (Mean 81.1 vs. 86.7%; p = 0.04), -V20 (Mean 72.7 vs. 79.9%; p = 0.01) and V30 (Mean 50.2 vs. 57.3%; p = 0.03). Patients with a mean LSBM dose >32 Gy had a 1.81 (95% CI 0.81-4.0) relative risk to develop ≥G3 leukopenia. For node positive patients, those risks were 2.67 (95% CI 0.71-10). LKB modeling seems to suggest that LSBM-mean dose should be kept below 32 Gy to minimize ≥G3 HT in anal cancer patients treated with IMRT and concurrent chemotherapy. The contribution of LSBM dose in the development of HT above 25 Gy seems steeper in node positive patients.

Abstract
AIM Many different surgical techniques have been reported for the surgical treatment of full-thickness external rectal prolapse. Perianal stapled prolapse resection (PSP) is a relatively newly reported technique for full thickness external rectal prolapse. The aim of this prospective multicentre study was to evaluate the results of this procedure. METHOD Consecutive patients who underwent a PSP resection for full-thickness external rectal prolapse at five centres were recruited to the study. Median operating time, hospital stay, complications, recurrence and functional results according to the Wexner Incontinence Scale and obstructive defaecation syndrome score were recorded. RESULTS There were 27 patients treated by PSP. The median Wexner incontinence score improved from 10 presurgery to 5 after surgery (P < 0.001); the median obstructed defaecation syndrome score improved from 12 presurgery to 5 (range 4-10) after surgery (P < 0.001). A laparoscopically assisted procedure was performed in three patients (11.1%). The median number of cartridges used was six (range four to nine). The median operating time was 48 min. Early complications occurred in six patients (22.2%) and late complications in two (7.4%). The median length of hospital stay was 5 days. The recurrence rate at a median follow-up of 30.3 months was 14.8%. CONCLUSION PSP appears to be an easy, fast and safe procedure. Early functional results are good. The recurrence rate compares favourably with other perineal procedures like the Delorme or the Altemeier operations. Long-term functional results need to be investigated further.

Abstract
Laparoscopic resection for colon and rectal cancer is associated with quicker return of bowel function, reduced postoperative morbidity rates and shorter length of hospital stay compared to open surgery, with no differences in long-term survival. Conversion to open surgery is reported in up to 30% of patients enrolled in randomized control trials comparing open and laparoscopic colorectal resection for cancer. In this review, reasons for conversion are anatomical-related factors, disease-related-factors and surgeon-related factors. Body mass index, local tumour extension and co-morbidities are independent predictors of conversion. The current evidence has shown that patients with converted resection for colon cancer have similar outcomes compared to patients undergoing a laparoscopic completed or open resection. The few studies that have assessed the outcomes after conversion of laparoscopic rectal resection reported significantly higher rates of complications and longer length of hospital stay in converted patients compared to laparoscopically treated patients. No definitive conclusions can be drawn when converted and open rectal resections are compared. Early and pre-emptive conversion appears to have more favourable outcomes than reactive conversion; however, further large studies are needed to better define the optimal timing of conversion. With regard to long-term oncologic outcome, overall and disease-free survival in the case of conversion in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery seems to be worse than those achieved in patients in whom resection was successfully completed by laparoscopy. Although a worse long-term oncologic outcome has been suggested, it remains difficult to draw a proper conclusion due to the heterogeneity of the long-term outcomes as well as the inclusion of both colon and rectal cancer patients in most of the studies. Therefore, we discuss the currently available evidence of the impact of conversion in laparoscopic resection for colon and rectal cancer on both short-term outcomes and long-term survival.
