    Long-term follow up of abdominal rectosigmoidectomy with posterior end-to-side stapled anastomosis for Chagas megacolon
    (2011) NAHAS, S. C.; PINTO, R. A.; DIAS, A. R.; NAHAS, C. S. R.; ARAUJO, S. E. A.; MARQUES, C. F. S.; CECCONELLO, I.
    Aim Chagas' disease is an endemic parasitosis found in Latin America. The disease affects different organs, such as heart, oesophagus, colon and rectum. Megacolon is the most frequent long-term complication, caused by damage to the myoenteric and submucous plexus, ultimately leading to a functional barrier to the faeces. Patients with severe constipation are managed surgically. The study aimed to analyse the 10-year minimum functional outcome after rectosigmoidectomy with posterior end-to-side anastomosis (RPESA). Method A total of 21 of 46 patients were available for follow up. Patients underwent clinical, radiological and manometric evaluation, and the results were compared with preoperative parameters. Results Of the 21 patients evaluated, 81% (17) were female, with a mean age of 60.6 years. Good function was achieved in all patients, with significant improvement in defaecatory frequency (P < 0.0001), usage of enemas (P < 0.0001) and patient satisfaction. Barium enema also showed resolution of the colonic and rectal dilatation in 19 cases evaluated postoperatively. Conclusion Minimal 10-year follow up of RPESA showed excellent functional results, with no recurrence of constipation.

    Short-Term Surgical Outcomes of Robotic Gastrectomy Compared to Open Gastrectomy for Patients with Gastric Cancer: a Randomized Trial
    (2022) RIBEIRO, Ulysses; DIAS, Andre Roncon; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; YAGI, Osmar Kenji; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Jose; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; ABDALLA, Ricardo Zugaib; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; CECCONELLO, Ivan
    Background Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has been shown to be a safe and feasible method in gastric cancer (GC) treatment. However, most studies are in Eastern cohorts and there is great interest in knowing whether the method can be used routinely, especially in the West. Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the short-term surgical outcomes of D2-gastrectomy by RG versus open gastrectomy (OG). Methods Single-institution, open-label, non-inferiority, randomized clinical trial performed between 2015 and 2020. GC patients were randomized (1:1 allocation) to surgical treatment by RG or OG. Da Vinci Si platform was used. Inclusion criteria: gastric adenocarcinoma, stage cT2-4 cNO-1, potentially curative surgery, age 18-80 years, and ECOG performance status 0-1. Exclusion criteria: emergency surgery and previous gastric or major abdominal surgery. Primary endpoint was short-term surgical outcomes. The study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02292914). Results Of 65 randomized patients, 5 were excluded (3 palliatives, 1 obstruction and emergency surgery, and 1 for material shortage). Consequently, 31 and 29 patients were included for final analysis in the OG and RG groups, respectively. No differences were observed between groups regarding age, sex, BMI, comorbidities, ASA, and frequency of total gastrectomy. RG had similar mean number of harvested lymph nodes (p = 0.805), longer surgical time (p < 0.001), and less bleeding (p <0.001) compared to OG. Postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and readmissions in 30 days were equivalent between OG and RG. Conclusions RG reduces operative bleeding by more than 50%. The short-term outcomes were non-inferior to OG, although surgical time was longer in RG.

    Common variable immunodeficiency: an important but little-known risk factor for gastric cancer
    (2021) KREIN, PAULA; YOGOLARE, GUSTAVO GONÇALVES; PEREIRA, MARINA ALESSANDRA; GRECCO, OCTAVIO; BARROS, MYRTHES ANNA MARAGNA TOLEDO; DIAS, ANDRE RONCON; MARINHO, ANA KAROLINA BARRETO BERSELLI; ZILBERSTEIN, BRUNO; KOKRON, CRISTINA MARIA; RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR, ULYSSES; KALIL, JORGE; NAHAS, SERGIO CARLOS; RAMOS, MARCUS FERNANDO KODAMA PERTILLE
    ABSTRACT Introduction: although it is a rare disease, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) stands out as the most frequent primary symptomatic immunodeficiency. Carriers are prone to a variety of recurrent bacterial infections, in addition to the risk of developing autoimmune diseases and neoplasms including gastric cancer (GC). Despite the recognized risk, there are no specific standardized protocols for the management of GC in these patients, so the reported oncological results are varied. Thus, this study aims to describe the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with CVID undergoing surgical treatment of GC. Methods: all patients with GC undergoing surgical treatment between 2009 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Later, patients diagnosed with CVID were identified and this group was compared with the remaining patients without any immunodeficiency. Results: among the 1101 patients with GC evaluated in the period, 10 had some type of immunodeficiency, and 5 were diagnosed with CVID. Patients with CVID had younger age, lower BMI, and smaller lesions compared to those without CVID. Four patients underwent curative gastrectomy and one patient underwent jejunostomy. Two patients died (1 palliative and 1 curative) and one patient had disease recurrence. There was no statistically significant difference regarding the incidence of postoperative complications and survival between the evaluated groups. Conclusion: the CVID incidence in patients with GC undergoing surgical treatment was 0.5%, occurring at a less advanced age, but with no difference regarding surgical and oncological results.

    Lymph Node Yield After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Rectal Cancer Specimens: A Randomized Trial Comparing Two Fixatives
    (2018) DIAS, Andre R.; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; CECCONELLO, Ivan; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses
    BACKGROUND: It is widely reported that neoadjuvant chemoradiation reduces lymph node yield in rectal cancer specimens. Some have questioned the adequacy of finding 12 lymph nodes for accurate staging, and fewer nodes were correlated with good response. Others reported that low lymph node count raises the chance for understaging and correlates with worse survival. In addition, a few studies demonstrated that diligent specimen analysis increases lymph node count. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare Carnoy's solution and formalin concerning lymph node yield in specimens of patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation. DESIGN: This is a prospective randomized trial that was conducted from 2012 to 2015. SETTINGS: This study was performed in a reference cancer center in Brazil. PATIENTS: Patients who underwent low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal adenocarcinoma were included. INTERVENTION: Rectosigmoid specimens were randomized for fixation with Carnoy's solution or formalin. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A total of 130 specimens were randomized. After dissection, the residual fat from the formalin group was immersed in Carnoy's solution in search for missed lymph nodes (Revision). RESULTS: The Carnoy's solution group had superior lymph node count (24.0 vs 16.3, p < 0.01) and fewer cases with <12 lymph nodes (6 vs 22, p = 0.001). The Revision group found lymph nodes in all cases (mean, 11.1), retrieving metastatic lymph nodes in 6 patients. It reduced the formalin cases with <12 lymph nodes from 33.8% to 4.6% and upstaged 2 patients. Tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was not associated with lymph node count. LIMITATIONS: This was a unicentric study. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with formalin, the Carnoy's solution increases lymph node count and reduces the cases with <12 lymph nodes. Harvested lymph nodes are missed following routine analysis and this is clinically relevant. Finding <12 lymph nodes is not a sign of good response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation (www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02629315). See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A694.

    SURGICAL TREATMENT IN CLINICAL STAGE IV GASTRIC CANCER: A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT PROCEDURES AND SURVIVAL OUTCOMES
    (2022) RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; DIAS, Andre Roncon; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi de; SAKAMOTO, Erica; RIBEIRO-JR, Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos
    BACKGROUND: Even in clinical stage IV gastric cancer (GC), surgical procedures may be required to palliate symptoms or in an attempt to improve survival. However, the limited survival of these patients raises doubts about who really had benefits from it. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the surgical outcomes in stage IV GC treated with surgical procedures without curative intent. METHODS: Retrospective analyses of patients with stage IV GC submitted to surgical procedures including tumor resection, bypass, jejunostomy, and diagnostic laparoscopy were performed. Patients with GC undergoing curative gastrectomy served as the comparison group. RESULTS: Surgical procedures in clinical stage IV were performed in 363 patients. Compared to curative surgery (680 patients), stage IV patients had a higher rate of comorbidities and ASA III/IV classification. The surgical procedures that were performed included 107 (29.4%) bypass procedures (partitioning/gastrojejunal anastomosis), 85 (23.4%) jejunostomies, 76 (20.9%) resections, and 76 (20.9%) diagnostic laparoscopies. Regarding patients' characteristics, resected patients had more distant metastasis (p=0.011), bypass patients were associated with disease in more than one site (p<0.001), and laparoscopy patients had more peritoneal metastasis (p<0.001). According to the type of surgery, the median overall survival was as follows: resection (13.6 months), bypass (7.8 months), jejunostomy (2.7 months), and diagnostic (7.8 months, p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, low albumin levels, in case of more than one site of disease, jejunostomy, and laparoscopy, were associated with worse survival. CONCLUSION: Stage IV resected cases have better survival, while patients submitted to jejunostomy and diagnostic laparoscopy had the worst results. The proper identification of patients who would benefit from surgical resection may improve survival and avoid futile procedures.

    (2021) SIMOES, Italo Beltrao Pereira; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; DIAS, Andre Roncon
    BACKGROUND: Salvage surgery (SS) is defined as surgical resection after the failure of the first treatment with curative intent. AIM: The aim of this study was to report the experience of a reference center with SS for stomach adenocarcinoma. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients with gastric cancer (GC) operated on between 2009 and 2020. RESULTS: Notably, 40 patients were recommended for salvage gastrectomy with curative-intent treatment. For analysis purpose, patients were divided into two groups: 23 patients after endoscopic resection and 17 patients after gastrectomy. In the first group, all patients underwent R0 resection, their average hospital length of stay (LOS) was 15.7 days, and 2 (8.6%) patients had major complications. During the average followup of 37.2 months, there was only one recurrence. The median overall survival (OS) was 46 months. In the postgastrectomy group, 9 (52.9%) patients were rescued with curative intent, the average hospital LOS was 12.2 days, and 3 (17.6%) had major complications. In a mean follow-up of 22 months, five patients relapsed. Median OS and disease-free survival were 24 and 16.5 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: SS in GC offers the possibility of long-term disease control and increased survival rate with an acceptable complication rate.

    Gastric cancer with microsatellite instability displays increased thymidylate synthase expression
    (2022) PEREIRA, Marina A.; DIAS, Andre R.; RAMOS, Marcus F. K. P.; CARDILI, Leonardo; MORAES, Rafael D. R.; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio C.; MELLO, Evandro S.; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro
    Background Gastric cancer (GC) with microsatellite instability (MSI) is a less aggressive disease and associated with resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy (CMT). Thymidylate synthase (TS) is inhibited by 5-FU, and another potential mediator of therapeutic resistance to 5-FU. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the association between MSI and TS expression in GC, and its impact on disease outcomes. Methods We retrospectively evaluated GC who underwent D2-gastrectomy. MSI and TS were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. We also investigated p53 expression, PD-L1 status, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (CD4 and CD8). Results Out of 284 GC, 60 (21.1%) were MSI. Median TS-score for all cases was 16.5. TS expression was significantly higher in MSI compared to microsatellite-stable (MSS; p < 0.001). Considering both status, GC were classified in four groups: 167 (58.8%) MSS + TS-low; 57 (20.1%) MSS + TS-High; 24 (8.5%) MSI + TS-low; and 36 (12.7%) MSI + TS-high. MSI + TS-high group had less advanced pTNM stage, higher CD8+T cells levels (p < 0.001) and PD-L1 positivity (p < 0.001). Normal p53 expression was related to MSI GC (p < 0.001). Improved survival was observed in MSI + TS-high, but no survival benefit was seen with CMT. Conclusion MSI GC was associated with high TS levels, which may explain therapeutic resistance to 5-FU. Additionally, MSI + TS-high showed better survival, but without improvement with CMT.

    Laparoscopic gastrectomy for early and advanced gastric cancer in a western center: a propensity score-matched analysis
    (2021) RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; DIAS, Andre Roncon; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos
    The employment of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in the management of gastric cancer (GC) is increasing. Despite recent results from randomized trials, its effectiveness and oncological results in different scenarios remain controversial, especially in western centers. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes and survival of LG with open gastrectomy (OG) for GC. We reviewed all GC patients who underwent curative gastrectomy from a prospective database. Propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis including 10 variables was conducted to reduce patient selection bias using a 1:1 case-control match. A total of 530 GC were eligible for inclusion (438 OG and 92 LG). Older age, lower hemoglobin levels, total gastrectomy, larger tumor size, greater depth of tumor invasion and advanced pTNM stage was more frequent in the OG group. After PMS analysis, 92 patients were matched in each group. All variables assigned in the score were well matched. LG group had a slightly higher number of retrieved lymph nodes (42.3 vs 37.6), however, without reaching statistical significance (p = 0.072). No differences were recorded about the frequency of major postoperative complications (POC) and mortality rates between OG and LG groups (12% vs 15.2%, p = 0.519, respectively). In survival analysis, after matching, there was no difference in survival between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that only ASA and pN stage were independent factor associated with survival after PSM. In conclusion, laparoscopic gastrectomy was a safe and effective surgical technique for gastric cancer, with short-term and oncological outcomes comparable to open surgery.
