    (2021) SAKAMOTO, Erica; DIAS, Andre Roncon; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; CHARRUF, Amir Zeide; RIBEIRO-JUNIOR, Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; CECCONELLO, Ivan
    Background: Remnant gastric cancer (RGC) is increasing due to past use of subtotal gastrectomy to treat benign diseases, improvements in the detection of gastric cancer, and increased survival rates after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Laparoscopic access provides the advantages and benefits of minimally invasive surgery. However, laparoscopic completion total gastrectomy (LCTG) for RGC is technically demanding, even for experienced surgeons. Because of its rarity and heterogeneity, no standard surgical strategy has been established and few surgeons will develop technical expertise to carry out this procedure. Aim: To describe our standard technique, giving surgeons a head start in LCTG and report the early experience with this stepwise approach. Materials and Methods: We detail all the steps involved in the procedure, including trocar placement and surgical description. Results: Between 2009 and 2019, a total of 8 patients with past history of RGC were operated with this technique. All patients had been previously operated by open method, 7 due to peptic ulcer disease and 1 due to gastric cancer. Their mean age at the time of the first surgery was 38.9 years (range 25-56 years) and the mean interval between the first and the second gastrectomy was 32.1 years (range 13.6-49). Billroth II was the previous reconstruction in all cases. A 5-trocar technique was used followed by total gastrectomy with side-to-side stapled intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy anastomosis and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The mean operation time was 272 minutes (range 180-330) and median blood loss was 247 mL (range 50-500). There was no conversion and no major intraoperative complication. Major postoperative complications occurred in 3 patients. Conclusion: Completion total gastrectomy for RGC is a morbid procedure and laparoscopic access is technically feasible, hopefully carrying the benefits of faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and wound complications. By standardizing the approach, the learning curve may be shortened and better results achieved.

    RECURRENCE IN PN0 GASTRIC CANCER: RISK FACTORS IN THE OCCIDENT
    (2021) NOBRE, Karolyne Ernesto Luiz; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; RIBEIRO, Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; CECCONELLO, Ivan; DIAS, Andre Roncon
    Background: Nearly 10% of node negative gastric cancer patients who underwent curative surgery have disease recurrence. Western data is extremely poor on this matter and identifying the risk factors that associate with relapse may allow new strategies to improve survival. Aim: Verify the clinical and pathological characteristics that correlate with recurrence in node negative gastric cancer. Methods: All gastric cancer patients submitted to gastrectomy between 2009 and 2019 at our institution and pathologically classified as N0 were considered. Their data were available in a prospective database. Inclusion criteria were: gastric adenocarcinoma, node negative, gastrectomy with curative intent, R0 resection. Main outcomes studied were: disease-free survival and overall survival. Results: A total of 270 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Mean age was 63-year-old and 155 were males. Subtotal gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy were performed in 64% and 74.4%, respectively. Mean lymph node yield was 37.6. Early GC was present in 54.1% of the cases. Mean follow-up was 40.8 months and 19 (7%) patients relapsed. Disease-free survival and overall survival were 90.9% and 74.6%, respectively. Independent risk factors for worse disease-free survival were: total gastrectomy, lesion size >= 3.4 cm, higher pT status and <16 lymph nodes resected. Conclusion: In western gastric cancer pN0 patients submitted to gastrectomy, lymph node count <16, pT3-4 status, tumor size >= 3.4 cm, total gastrectomy and presence of lymphatic invasion, are all risk factors for disease relapse.

    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.

    (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.

    The impact of venous resection in pancreatoduodectomy A systematic review and meta-analysis
    (2021) PINHEIRO FILHO, Joao Emilio Lemos; TUSTUMI, Francisco; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; SILVEIRA JUNIOR, Sergio; HONORIO, Fernanda Cavalcanti Cabral; HENRIQUES, Alexandre Cruz; DIAS, Andre Roncon; WAISBERG, Jaques
    Background: Vein resection pancreatoduodenectomy (VRPD) may be performed in selected pancreatic cancer patients. However, the main risks and benefits related to VRPD remain controversial. Objective: This review aimed to evaluate the risks and survival benefits that the VRPD may add when compared with standard pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing VRPD and PD were performed. Results: VRPD was associated with a higher risk for postoperative mortality (risk difference: -0.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.02 to -0.00) and complications (risk difference: -0.05; 95% CI -0.09 to -0.01) than PD. The length of hospital stay was not different between the groups (mean difference [MD]: -0.65; 95% CI -2.11 to 0.81). In the VRPD, the operating time was 69 minutes higher on average (MD: -69.09; 95% CI -88.4 to -49.78), with a higher blood loss rate (MD: -314.04; 95% CI -423.86 to -195.22). In the overall survival evaluation, the hazard ratio for mortality during follow-up on the group of VRPD was higher compared to the PD group (hazard ratio: 1.13; 95% CI 1.03-1.23). Conclusion: VRPD is associated with a higher risk of short-term complications and mortality and a lower probability of survival than PD. Knowing the risks and potential benefits of surgery can help clinicians to properly manage pancreatic cancer patients with venous invasion. The decision for surgery with major venous resection should be shared with the patients after they are informed of the risks and prognosis.

    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.

    Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 in gastric cancer: Prognosis and association with PD-L1 expression
    (2021) PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi de; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; DIAS, Andre Roncon; CARDILI, Leonardo; MORAES, Rafael Dyer Rodrigues; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de
    Background Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) is one of the most studied immune checkpoint in gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognostic role of CTLA-4 expression in GC is poorly described. This study aimed to evaluate CTLA-4 expression in GC and its impact on survival, including patients treated with standard platinum-based chemotherapy (CMT), and association with PD-L1 expression. Methods All GC patients who underwent D2-gastrectomy were investigated retrospectively. Tumor samples were examined for CTLA-4 and PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry. Tumor-infiltrating inflammatory cells, including CD4 + and CD8 + , were also examined. Results Among the 284 GC patients included, 159 (56%) were CTLA-4 positive and the remaining 125 (44%) were classified as negative. CTLA-4 positive GC was associated with increased inflammatory cell infiltration (p < 0.001), high CD8 + T cells (p = 0.016) and PD-L1 expression (p = 0.026). Considering GC referred for treatment, CTLA-4 negative patients who received CMT had a significant improvement in disease-free survival compared to untreated CLTA-4 negative (p = 0.028). In multivariate analysis, GC positive for both CTLA-4 and PD-L1 had a prognostic impact on survival. Conclusion CTLA-4 positive was associated with PD-L1 expression and a high tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells. Accordingly, positivity for both CTLA-4 and PD-L1 was an independent factor associated to better survival in GC patients.

    Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the surgical treatment of gastric cancer
    (2021) ARNEIRO, Amanda Juliani; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; DIAS, Andre Roncon; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; RIBEIRO, Ulysses; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos
    OBJECTIVE: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been recognized as one of the most serious public health crises. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term impact of the pandemic on the surgical treatment of patients with gastric cancer (GC) in addition to their clinicopathological characteristics. We also verified adherence to the COVID-19 screening protocol adopted in the institution. METHODS: All patients with GC who underwent surgical treatment between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated and divided into two groups according to the time period: control group (2015-2019) and COVID group (2020-2021). The institutional protocol recommends that patients referred for surgery undergo RT-PCR for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. RESULTS: A total of 83 patients were classified into the COVID group and 535 into the control group. The number of surgical procedures performed in the control group was 107 (SD +/- 23.8) per year. Diagnostic procedures (p.O.005), preoperative chemotherapy (p < 0.001), and adenocarcinomas without Lauren's subtype (p.0.009) were more frequent in the COVID group than in the control group. No significant difference was observed in the pathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of curative GC between the two groups. Evaluation of protocol compliance showed that of 83 patients with GC in the COVID group, 19 (22.9%) were not tested for COVID-19 before surgery. Two patients tested positive for COVID-19 (one preoperative and one postoperative). CONCLUSION: A decrease in the average number of surgeries and a higher frequency of diagnostic procedures occurred during the pandemic than in the previous time period. Tumor/node/metastasis classification, morbidity rates, and mortality rates in patients with GC during the pandemic did not differ from those in the previous time period. Accordingly, GC surgical treatment with acceptable screening protocol compliance could be safely performed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    D2 Lymphadenectomy According to the Arterial Variations in Gastric and Hepatic Irrigation
    (2021) DIAS, Andre Roncon; CHARRUF, Amir Zeide; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; CECCONELLO, Ivan
    Background D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer is technically demanding and requires clearance of the lymph node stations along the main arteries that irrigate the stomach and the liver. As gastric and hepatic irrigation have a different pattern from the classic branching of the celiac trunk in approximately 25% of patients, acquaintance with these variations and knowledge on how to adequately perform the lymphadenectomy in different anatomic settings is of utmost importance for surgeons who manage gastric cancer.1 Methods This video demonstrates, step-by-step, how to perform D2 lymphadenectomy in accordance with gastric and hepatic irrigation. Illustrations of the arterial variation correlate with the corresponding computed tomography image and operative management of the lymph node stations. Discussion D2 lymphadenectomy is the standard of care in advanced gastric cancer.2 It implies clearing the lymph node stations along the celiac trunk, left gastric artery, and common and proper hepatic arteries. However, the celiac trunk and hepatic irrigation are highly variable and surgeons must be aware of how to properly and safely address the lymph node stations in all scenarios. Vessel anatomical variations increase the risk of vascular injuries and its complications, such as bleeding, necrosis, liver function impairment, liver necrosis, and conversion to open surgery.3-5 Additionally, the lymphadenectomy cannot be compromised if a variation is found.6 Preoperative knowledge of the gastric blood supply also shortens the surgical duration.7 Conclusions The present video demonstrates how to recognize the most common variations found during D2 gastrectomy, and provides strategies to adequately approach them.
