- Diagnosis of Clinical Complete Response by Probe-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) After Chemoradiation for Advanced Rectal Cancer(2021) SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana Vaz; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico Sparapan; PIRES, Clelma; ARRAES, Livia; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; MEIRELLES, Luciana; KAWAGUTI, Fabio Shigehissa; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; LENZ, Luciano Tolentino; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; GUSMON-OLIVEIRA, Carla Cristina; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze; NAHAS, Sergio CarlosBackground Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRxt) followed by radical surgery is the optimal treatment for advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Patients with clinical complete response (cCR) may be followed closely without immediate surgery. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a real-time in vivo method that allows acquisition of optical biopsies with 1000 times magnification, evaluating both epithelial and vascular patterns. Aim To evaluate the role of pCLE in the diagnosis of cCR after nCRxt for advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Methods pCLE was performed in 47 patients with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma (T3/T4, or N+) who underwent nCRxt (5-fluorouracil, 5040 cGy). Results Twenty-seven (57.5%) patients were men, and the mean age was 62.8 years. Thirty-seven had partial response confirmed by pCLE. Ten (21.3%) patients had good endoscopic response and presented small ulcer (n = 5) or residual scar (n = 5). After nCRxt, the essential features to differentiate malignancy from post-radiation alterations at pCLE were the presence of irregular crypts, budding, back-to-back glands, cribriform pattern, increased vessel/crypt ratio, and fluorescein leakage. A scoring system was created considering these epithelial and vascular features, with high accuracy for differentiating patients with complete response from those with residual neoplasia (p < 0.00001). pCLE sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 100%, 71.4%, 95.2%, 100%, and 95.7%, respectively. Conclusions (1) pCLE evaluation of epithelial and vascular features may improve the diagnosis of cCR and may alter patient management; (2) pCLE might be valuable for identifying patients with advanced rectal cancer who will benefit from watch and wait strategy, avoiding immediate surgical treatment.
- Long-term results of an endoscopic screening program for superficial esophageal cancer in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(2022) MOURA, Renata Nobre; KUBOKI, Yeda; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana; MARTINS, Bruno; PAULO, Gustavo Andrade de; TOLENTINO, Luciano Lenz; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and study aims Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are at risk of a second primary tumor in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the esophagus. Screening these patients for esophageal carcinoma may help detect asymptomatic dysplasia and early cancer, thus allowing curative treatment and more prolonged survival, but the impact of endoscopic screening remains uncertain. Here we aimed to describe the long-term results of an esophageal SCC screening program in patients with head and neck cancer in terms of prevalence, associated risk factors, and survival. Patients and methods We performed an observational study of a prospectively collected database including patients with HNSCC who had undergone high-definition endoscopy with chromoscopy between 2010 and 2018 at a Brazilian tertiary academic center. Results The study included 1,888 patients. The esophageal SCC prevalence was 7.9 %, with the majority (77.8 %) being superficial lesions. Significant risk factors for esophageal high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive cancer included tumors of the oral cavity and oropharynx and the presence of low-grade dysplasia (LGD). Overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter among patients in whom esophageal cancer was diagnosed at an advanced stage (P < .001). OS did not significantly differ between patients with HGD and early esophageal cancer versus those without esophageal cancer (P = .210) Conclusions Endoscopic screening for superficial esophageal neoplasia in patients with HNSCC improves esophageal cancer detection. Screening could potentially benefit patients with primary cancer located at the oropharynx or oral cavity. In addition, the detection of esophageal LGD indicates a need for endoscopic surveillance.

- A new large-caliber trocar for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy by the introducer technique in head and neck cancer patients(2011) GIORDANO-NAPPI, J. H.; MALUF-FILHO, F.; ISHIOKA, S.; HONDO, F. Y.; MATUGUMA, S. E.; LIMA, M. Simas de; SANTOS, M. Lera dos; RETES, F. A.; SAKAI, P.Background and study aims In many patients, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can be limited by digestive tract stenosis. PEG placement using an introducer is the safest alternative for this group of patients, but the available devices are difficult to implement and require smaller-caliber tubes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the modification of an introducer technique device for PEG placement with regard to the following: procedure feasibility, possibility of using a 20-Fr balloon gastrostomy tube, tube-related function and problems, complications, procedure safety, and mortality. Patients and methods Between March 2007 and February 2008, 30 consecutive patients with head and neck malignancies underwent introducer PEG placement with the modified device and gastropexy. Each patient was evaluated for 60 days after the procedure for the success of the procedure, infection, pain, complications, mortality, and problems with the procedure. Results The procedure was successful in all cases with no perioperative complications. No signs of stomal infection were observed using the combined infection score. The majority of patients experienced mild-to-moderate pain both in the immediate postoperative period and at 72 hours. One major early complication (3.3%) and two minor complications (6.7%) were observed. No procedure-related deaths occurred during the first 60 days after the procedure. Conclusion The device modification for PEG using the introducer technique is feasible, safe, and efficient in outpatients with obstructive head and neck cancer. In this series, it allowed the use of a larger-caliber tube with low complication rates and no procedure-related mortality.
- Tube-in-tube endoscopic vacuum therapy for the closure o upper gastrointestinal fistulas, leaks, and perforations(2022) LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; UEMURA, Ricardo Sato; GUSMON-OLIVEIRA, Carla Cristina; POMBO, Amanda Aquino de Miranda; MARTINS, Bruno Costa; LENZ, Luciano; KAWAGUTI, Fabio Shiguehissa; PAULO, Gustavo Andrade De; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; V, Adriana Safatle-Ribeiro; RIBEIRO, Ulysses; MONKEMULLER, Klaus; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground Although endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has been successfully used to treat postoperative upper gastrointestinal (UGI) wall defects, its use demands special materials and several endoscopic treatment sessions. Herein, we propose a technical modification of EVT using a double tube (tube-in-tube drain) without polyurethane sponges for the drainage element. The tube-in-tube drainage device enables irrigation and application of suction. A flowchart for standardizing the management of postoperative UGI wall defects with this device is presented. Methods An EVT modification was made to achieve frequent fistula cleansing, with 3% hydrogen peroxide rinsing, and the application of negative pressure. A tube-in-tube drain without polyurethane sponges can be inserted like a nasogastric tube or passed through a previously positioned surgical drain. This was a retrospective two-center observational study, with data collected from 30 consecutive patients. Technical success, clinical success, adverse events, time under therapy, interval time from procedure to fistula diagnosis and treatment start, size of transmural defect, volume of cavity, number of endoscopic treatment sessions, and mortality were reviewed. Results 30 patients with UGI wall defects were treated. The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 86.7%, respectively. Three patients (10%) had adverse events and three patients (10%) died. The median time under therapy was of 19 days (range 1-70) and the median number of endoscopic sessions was 3 (range 1-9). Conclusions This standardized approach and EVT modification using a tube-in-tube drain, with frequent fistula cleansing, were successful and safe in a wide variety of UGI wall defects.

- Esophagectomy in a patient with pulmonary histoplasmosis: A case report of surgical aspects and complications (with video)(2020) TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; GARCIA, Rodrigo Nicida; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; YOGOLARE, Gustavo Goncalves; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; MALUF FILHO, Fauze; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; CECCONELLO, IvanINTRODUCTION: Esophagectomy is a challenging procedure associated with considerable morbidity. Previous pulmonary diseases, such as histoplasmosis fungal infection, may interfere in operative and postoperative outcomes after esophagectomy. Anastomotic leakage is one of the most feared complications after esophagectomy. However, new therapies developed such as vacuum procedure and esophageal prosthesis have been provenly beneficial. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case with squamous cell carcinoma of the mid esophagus portion on a young patient with a pulmonary histoplasmosis history. After a multidisciplinary board, the patient underwent transhiatal esophagectomy with gastric-pull up and cervical anastomosis due to pulmonary disease. The patient later developed an anastomotic leak with mediastinal abscess. We describe this complication's management via an endoscopic vacuum system, esophageal prosthesis, and exhibit a video illustrating the technique. DISCUSSION: We illustrate the management of esophageal cancer associated with previous pulmonary disease. Histoplasmosis may misunderstand the esophageal cancer staging, and it can contribute to anastomotic leakage occurrence. An endoscopic vacuum system is an excellent tool for treating esophagogastric anastomosis fistula after esophagectomy, even when the drainage is accumulated in the mediastinum. The esophageal prosthesis may be used after mediastinal abscess resolution. CONCLUSION: Treatment of the association of esophageal cancer and histoplasmosis is feasible. However, care should be taken to avoid highly potential postoperative complications. (C) 2020 The Authors.
