- Magnifying chromoendoscopy is a reliable method in the selection of rectal neoplasms for local excision(2023) KIMURA, C. M. S.; KAWAGUTI, F. S.; HORVAT, N.; NAHAS, C. S. R.; MARQUES, C. F. S.; PINTO, R. A.; REZENDE, D. T. de; SEGATELLI, V.; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, A. V.; JUNIOR, U. R.; MALUF-FILHO, F.; NAHAS, S. C.Purpose Adequate staging of early rectal neoplasms is essential for organ-preserving treatments, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) frequently overestimates the stage of those lesions. We aimed to compare the ability of magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI to select patients with early rectal neoplasms for local excision. Methods This retrospective study in a tertiary Western cancer center included consecutive patients evaluated by magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI who underwent en bloc resection of nonpedunculated sessile polyps larger than 20 mm, laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) >= 20 mm, or depressed-type lesions of any size (Paris 0-IIc). Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values of magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI to determine which lesions were amenable to local excision (i.e., <= T1sm1) were calculated. Results Specificity of magnifying chromoendoscopy was 97.3% (95% CI 92.2-99.4), and accuracy was 92.7% (95% CI 86.7-96.6) for predicting invasion deeper than T1sm1 (not amenable to local excision). MRI had lower specificity (60.5%, 95% CI 43.4-76.0) and lower accuracy (58.3%, 95% CI 43.2-72.4). Magnifying chromoendoscopy incorrectly predicted invasion depth in 10.7% of the cases in which the MRI was correct, while magnifying chromoendoscopy provided a correct diagnosis in 90% of the cases in which the MRI was incorrect (p = 0.001). Overstaging occurred in 33.3% of the cases in which magnifying chromoendoscopy was incorrect and 75% of the cases in which MRI was incorrect. Conclusion Magnifying chromoendoscopy is reliable for predicting invasion depth in early rectal neoplasms and selecting patients for local excision.
- MRI-based radiomic score increased mrTRG accuracy in predicting rectal cancer response to neoadjuvant therapy(2023) MIRANDA, Joao; HORVAT, Natally; ASSUNCAO JR., Antonildes N.; MACHADO, Felipe Augusto de M.; CHAKRABORTY, Jayasree; PANDINI, Rafael Vaz; SARAIVA, Samya; NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; NOMURA, Cesar HigaPurpose To develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics score, i.e., ""rad-score,"" and to investigate the performance of rad-score alone and combined with mrTRG in predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy. Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients with LARC who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery from between July 2011 to November 2015. Volumes of interest of the entire tumor on baseline rectal MRI and of the tumor bed on restaging rectal MRI were manually segmented on T2-weighted images. The radiologist also provided the ymrTRG score on the restaging MRI. Radiomic score (rad-score) was calculated and optimal cut-off points for both mrTRG and rad-score to predict pCR were selected using Youden's J statistic. Results Of 180 patients (mean age = 63 years; 60% men), 33/180 (18%) achieved pCR. High rad-score (> - 1.49) yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.758, comparable to ymrTRG 1-2 which yielded an AUC of 0.759. The combination of high rad-score and ymrTRG 1-2 yielded a significantly higher AUC of 0.836 compared with ymrTRG 1-2 and high rad-score alone (p < 0.001). A logistic regression model incorporating both high rad-score and mrTRG 1-2 was built to calculate adjusted odds ratios for pCR, which was 4.85 (p < 0.001). Conclusion Our study demonstrates that a rectal restaging MRI-based rad-score had comparable diagnostic performance to ymrTRG. Moreover, the combined rad-score and ymrTRG model yielded a significant better diagnostic performance for predicting pCR.
- Comparing three-dimensional endorectal ultrasound and magnification chromoendoscopy for early rectal neoplasia invasion depth assessment(2024) PINTO, Rodrigo Ambar; KAWAGUTI, Fabio Shiguehissa; KIMURA, Cintia Mayumi Sakurai; CORREA NETO, Isaac Jose Felippe; NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico Sparapan; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, Leonardo Alfonso; RIBEIRO-JR, Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze; NAHAS, Sergio CarlosIntroductionAccurate assessment of invasion depth of early rectal neoplasms is essential for optimal therapy. We aimed to compare three-dimensional endorectal ultrasound (3D-ERUS) with magnification chromoendoscopy (MCE) regarding their accuracy in assessing parietal invasion depth (T).MethodsPatients with middle and distal rectum neoplasms were prospectively included. Two providers blinded to each other's assessment performed 3D-ERUS and MCE, respectively. The T stage assessed through ERUS was compared to the MCE evaluation. The results were compared to the surgical specimen anatomopathological report. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive (PPV), and negative (NPV) predictive values were calculated for the T stage and for the final therapy (local excision or radical surgery).ResultsIn 8 years, 70 patients were enrolled, and all underwent both exams. MCE and ERUS showed an accuracy of 94.3% and 85.7%, sensitivity of 83.7 and 93.3%, specificity of 96.4 and 83.6%, PPV of 86.7 and 60.9%, and NPV of 96.4 and 97.9%, respectively. Kappa for T stage assessed through ERUS was 0.64 and 0.83 for MCE.ConclusionMCE and 3D-ERUS had good diagnostic performance, but the endoscopic method had higher accuracy. Both methods reliably assessed lesion extension, circumferential involvement, and distance from the anal verge.
- LAPAROSCOPIC RIGHT AND LEFT COLECTOMY: WHICH PROVIDES BETTER POSTOPERATIVE RESULTS FOR ONCOLOGY PATIENTS?(2023) PINTO, Rodrigo Ambar; SOARES, Diego Fernandes Maia; GERBASI, Lucas; NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico Sparapan; BUSTAMANTE-LOPES, Leonardo Alfonso; CAMARGO, Mariane Gouvea Monteiro de; NAHAS, Sergio CarlosBACKGROUND: The laparoscopic approach considerably reduced the morbidity of colorectal surgery when compared to the open approach. Among its benefits, we can highlight less intraoperative bleeding, early oral intake, lower rates of surgical site infection, incisional hernia, and postoperative pain, and earlier hospital discharge. AIMS: To compare the perioperative morbidity of right versus left colectomy for cancer and the quality of laparoscopic oncologic resection. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients submitted to laparoscopic right and left colctomy between 2006 and 2016. Postoperative complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo scale, 30 days after surgery. RESULTS: A total of 293 patients were analyzed, 97 right colectomies (33.1%) and 196 left colectomies (66.9%). The averageage was 62.8 years. The groups were comparable in terms of age, comorbidities, body mass index, and the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification. Preoperative transfusion was higher in the right colectomy group (5.1% versus 0.4%, p=0.004, p<0.05). Overall, 233 patients (79.5%) had no complications. Complications found were grade I and II in 62 patients (21.1%) and grade III to V in 37 (12.6%). Twenty-three patients (7.8%) underwent reoperation. The comparison between left and right colectomy was not statistically different for operative time, conversion, reoperation, severe postoperative complications, and length of stay. The anastomotic leak rate was comparable in both groups(5.6% versus 2.1%, p=0.232, p>0.05). The oncological results were similar in both surgeries. In multiple logistic regression, ASA statistically influenced the worst results (>= III; p=0.029, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The surgical and oncological results of laparoscopic right and left colectomies are similar, making this the preferred approach for both procedures.
- Impact of a Routine Colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in the Surgical Management of Nonmalignant Colorectal Lesions Treated in a Referral Cancer Center(2023) KAWAGUTI, Fabio S.; KIMURA, Cintia Mayumi Sakurai; MOURA, Renata Nobre; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana Vaz; NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico Sparapan; REZENDE, Daniel Tavares de; SEGATELLI, Vanderlei; COTTI, Guilherme Cutait de Castro; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze; NAHAS, Sergio CarlosBACKGROUND: Recent data show an increasing number of abdominal surgeries being performed for the treatment of nonmalignant colorectal polyps in the West but in settings in which colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection is not routinely performed. This study evaluated the number of nonmalignant colorectal lesions referred to surgical treatment in a tertiary cancer center that incorporated magnification chromoendoscopy and endoscopic submucosal dissection as part of the standard management of complex colorectal polyps. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to estimate the number of patients with nonmalignant colorectal lesions referred to surgical resection at our institution after the standardization of routine endoscopic submucosal dissection and to describe outcomes for patients undergoing colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection. DESIGN: Single-center retrospective study from a prospectively collected database of endoscopic submucosal dissections and colorectal surgeries performed between January 2016 and December 2019. SETTING: Reference cancer center. PATIENTS: Consecutive adult patients with complex nonmalignant colorectal polyps were included. INTERVENTIONS: Patients with nonmalignant colorectal polyps were treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgery (elective colectomy, rectosigmoidectomy, low anterior resection, or proctocolectomy). MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: The primary outcome measure was the percentage of patients referred to colorectal surgery for nonmalignant lesions. RESULTS: In the study period, 1.1% of 825 colorectal surgeries were performed for nonmalignant lesions, and 97 complex polyps were endoscopically removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection. The en bloc, R0, and curative resection rates of endoscopic submucosal dissection were 91.7%, 83.5%, and 81.4%, respectively. The mean tumor size was 59 (SD 37.8) mm. Perforations during endoscopic submucosal dissection occurred in 3 cases, all treated with clipping. One patient presented with a delayed perforation 2 days after the endoscopic resection and underwent surgery. The mean follow-up period was 3 years, with no tumor recurrence in this cohort. LIMITATIONS: Single-center retrospective study. CONCLUSIONS: A workflow that includes assessment of the lesions with magnification chromoendoscopy and resection through endoscopic submucosal dissection can lead to a very low rate of abdominal surgery for nonmalignant colorectal lesions.
- Mucinous Degeneration on MRI After Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Rectal Adenocarcinoma: Frequency and Association With Clinical Outcomes(2023) MIRANDA, Joao; PINTO, Paulo Victor Alves; KINOCHITA, Fernanda; GARCIA, Camila Marchiolli; HOMSI, Maria El; OLIVEIRA, Camila Vilela de; PANDINI, Rafael Vaz; NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; NAHAS, Sergio C.; GOLLUB, Marc J.; HORVAT, NatallyBACKGROUND. Patients with nonmucinous rectal adenocarcinoma may develop mucinous changes after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, which are described as mucinous degeneration. The finding's significance in earlier studies has varied. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of mucinous degeneration on MRI after neoadjuvant therapy for rectal adenocarcinoma and to compare outcomes among patients with nonmucinous tumor, mucinous tumor, and mucinous degeneration on MRI. METHODS. This retrospective study included 201 patients (83 women, 118 men; mean age, 61.8 +/- 2.2 [SD] years) with rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision from October 2011 to November 2015, underwent baseline and restaging rectal MRI examinations, and had at least 2 years of follow-up. Two radiologists independently evaluated MRI examinations for mucin content, which was defined as T2 hyperintensity in the tumor or tumor bed, and resolved differences by consensus. Patients were classified into three groups on the basis of mucin status: those with nonmucinous tumor (<= 50% mucin content on baseline and restaging examinations), those with mucinous tumor (> 50% mucin content on baseline and restaging examinations), and those with mucinous degeneration (<= 50% mucin content on baseline examination and > 50% content on restaging examination). The three groups were compared. RESULTS. Interreader agreement for mucin content, expressed as a kappa coefficient, was 0.893 on baseline MRI and 0.890 on restaging MRI. Of the 201 patients, 156 (77.6%) had nonmucinous tumor, 34 (16.9%) had mucinous tumor, and 11 (5.5%) had mucinous degeneration. Mucin status was not significantly associated with complete pathologic response (p = .41) or local or distant recurrence (both p > .05). The death rate during follow-up was not significantly different (p = .21) between patients with non-mucinous tumor (23.1%), those with mucinous tumor (29.4%), and those with mucinous degeneration (9.1%). In adjusted Cox regression analysis, with mucinous degeneration used as reference, the HR for the overall survival rate for the mucinous tumor group was 4.7 (95% CI, 0.6-38.3; p = .14), and that for the nonmucinous tumor group was 8.0 (95% CI, 0.9-59.9; p = .06). On histopathologic assessment, all 11 patients with mucinous degeneration showed acellular mucin, yet 10 of 11 patients showed viable tumor (i.e., in non-mucinous portions of the tumors). CONCLUSION. Mucinous degeneration on MRI is not significantly associated with pathologic complete response, recurrence, or survival. CLINICAL IMPACT. Mucinous degeneration on MRI is uncommon and should not be deemed an indicator of pathologic complete response.
- The Role of Probe-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) in the Diagnosis of Sustained Clinical Complete Response Under Watch-and-Wait Strategy After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Adenocarcinoma: a Score Validation(2023) SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana Vaz; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; LATA, John; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; LENZ, Luciano; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; KAWAGUTI, Fabio; MOURA, Renata Nobre; PENNACCHI, Caterina; GUSMON, Carla; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; PAULO, Gustavo Andrade de; NAHAS, Caio Sergio; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico; IMPERIALE, Antonio Rocco; COTTI, Guilherme C. C.; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze; NAHAS, Sergio CarlosBackgroundWatch-and-wait strategy has been increasingly accepted for patients with clinical complete response (cCR) after multimodal treatment for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Close follow-up is essential to the early detection of local regrowth. It was previously demonstrated that probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) scoring using the combination of epithelial and vascular features might improve the diagnostic accuracy of cCR.AimTo validate the pCLE scoring system in the assessment of patients with cCR after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRxt) for advanced rectal adenocarcinoma.MethodsDigital rectal examination, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and pCLE were performed in 43 patients with cCR, who presented either a scar (N = 33; 76.7%) or a small ulcer with no signs of tumor, and/or biopsy negative for malignancy (N = 10; 23.3%).ResultsTwenty-five (58.1%) patients were men, and the mean age was 58.4 years. During the follow-up, 12/43 (27.9%) patients presented local regrowth and underwent salvage surgery. There was an association between pCLE diagnostic scoring and final histological report (for patients who underwent surgical resection) or final diagnosis at the latest follow-up (p = 0.0001), while this association was not observed with MRI (p = 0.49). pCLE sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 66.7%, 93.5%, 80%, 88.9%, and 86%, respectively. MRI sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 66.7%, 48.4%, 66.7%, 78.9%, and 53.5%, respectively.ConclusionspCLE scoring system based on epithelial and vascular features improved the diagnosis of sustained cCR and might be recommended during follow-up. pCLE might add some valuable contribution for identifying local regrowth.Trial RegistrationThis protocol was registered at the Clinical Trials (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02284802).
