- Comparison of the pull and introducer percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy techniques in patients with head and neck cancer(2017) RETES, Felipe A.; KAWAGUTI, Fabio S.; LIMA, Marcelo S. de; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; UEMURA, Ricardo S.; PAULO, Gustavo A. de; PENNACCHI, Caterina M. P.; GUSMON, Carla; RIBEIRO, Adriana V. S.; BABA, Elisa R.; GEIGER, Sebastian N.; SORBELLO, Mauricio P.; KULCSAR, Marco A.; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and study aims: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is associated with higher complication and mortality rates when compared to a general patient population. The pull technique is still the preferred technique worldwide but it has some limitations. The aim of this study is to compare the pull and introducer PEG techniques in patients with HNC. Patients and methods: This study is based on a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database of 309 patients with HNC who underwent PEG in the Cancer Institute of SAo Paulo. Results: The procedure was performed with the standard endoscope in 205 patients and the introducer technique was used in 137 patients. There was one procedure-related mortality. Age, sex and albumin level were similar in both groups. However in the introducer technique group, patients had a higher tumor stage, a lower Karnofsky status, and presented more frequently with tracheostomy and trismus. Overall, major, minor, immediate and late complications and 30-day mortality rates were similar but the introducer technique group presented more minor bleeding and tube dysfunctions. Conclusion: The push and introducer PEG techniques seem to be both safe and effective but present different complication profiles. The choice of PEG technique in patients with HNC should be made individually.
- Impact of radiotherapy on adverse events of self-expanding metallic stents in patients with esophageal cancer(2023) MACHADO, Andressa A.; MARTINS, Bruno C.; JOSINO, Iatagan R.; CHEN, Andre T. C.; HONG, Carlos B. C.; SANTOS, Alisson L. D. R.; LIMA, Gustavo R. A.; CORDERO, Martin A. C.; V, Adriana Safatle-Ribeiro; PENNACCHI, Caterina; GUSMON, Carla C.; PAULO, Gustavo A.; LENZ, Luciano; LIMA, Marcelo S.; BABA, Elisa R.; KAWAGUTI, Fabio S.; UEMURA, Ricardo S.; SALLUM, Rubens A. A.; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeSelf-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) are considered the treatment of choice for the palliation of dysphagia and fistulas in inoperable esophageal neoplasms. However, the safety of SEMSs in patients who received or who will be submitted to radiotherapy (RT) is uncertain. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of RT on adverse events (AEs) in patients with esophageal cancer with SEMSs. This is a retrospective study conducted at a tertiary cancer hospital from 2009 to 2018. We collected information regarding RT, the histological type of the tumor, the model of SEMSs and AEs after stent placement. Three hundred twenty-three patients with malignant stenosis or fistula were treated with SEMSs. The predominant histological type was squamous cell carcinoma (79.6%). A total of 282 partially covered and 41 fully covered SEMSs were inserted. Of the 323 patients, 182 did not received RT, 118 received RT before SEMS placement and 23 after. Comparing the group that received RT before stent insertion with the group that did not, the first one presented a higher frequency of severe pain (9/118 7.6% vs. 3/182 1.6%; P = 0.02). The group treated with RT after stent placement had a higher risk of global AEs (13/23 56.5% vs. 63/182 34.6%; P = 0.019), ingrowth/overgrowth (6/23 26.1% vs. 21/182 11.5%; P = 0.045) and gastroesophageal reflux (2/23 8.7% vs. 2/182 1.1%; P = 0.034). Treatment with RT before stent placement in patients with inoperable esophageal neoplasm prolongs survival and is associated with an increased risk of severe chest pain. Treatment with RT of patients with an esophageal stent increases the frequency of minor, not life-threatening AEs.
- Adverse events of self-expandable esophageal metallic stents in patients with long-term survival from advanced malignant disease(2017) MEDEIROS, Vitor Sousa; MARTINS, Bruno Costa; LENZ, Luciano; RIBEIRO, Maria Sylvia Ierardi; PAULO, Gustavo Andrade de; LIMA, Marcelo Simas; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana Vaz; KAWAGUTI, Fabio Shiguehissa; PENNACCHI, Caterina; GEIGER, Sebastian N.; BASTOS, Victor R.; RIBEIRO-JUNIOR, Ulysses; SALLUM, Rubens A.; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and Aims: Self-expandable metallic stents are considered the best palliative treatment of dysphagia for patients with advanced esophageal cancer. Adverse events (AEs) are a major concern, especially in patients with better prognosis and longer survival. The present study aimed to evaluate the AEs of patients who survived longer than 6 months with esophageal stents in place. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database including all patients submitted to esophageal stent placement for the palliation of malignant diseases during the period from February 2009 to February 2014 at a tertiary care academic center who had stents longer than 6 months. Results: Sixty-three patients were included. Mean follow-up was 10.7 months. Clinical success was achieved in all patients, and the median stent patency was 7.1 months. AEs occurred in 40 patients (63.5%), totaling 62 AEs (mean, 1.5 AEs per patient). Endoscopic management of AEs was successful in 84.5% of cases, with a mean of 1.6 reinterventions per patient. The univariate analysis revealed that performance status, age, and post-stent radiotherapy presented a trend to higher risk of AEs. The multivariate analysis revealed that only performance status was associated with AEs (P = .025; hazard ratio, 4.1). Conclusions: AEs are common in patients with long-term esophageal stenting for malignancy. However, AEs were not related to higher mortality rate, and most AEs could be successfully managed by endoscopy. Only performance status was a risk factor for AEs. Our data suggest that metallic stenting is a valid option for the treatment of malignant esophageal conditions, even when survival longer than 6 months is expected.
