- Induction Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer(2020) HARADA, Guilherme; BONADIO, Renata Rodrigues da Cunha Colombo; ARAUJO, Frederico Cantarino Cordeiro de; VICTOR, Carolina Ribeiro; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; CECCONELLO, Ivan; TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi deBackground Concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC), and the role of induction chemotherapy (IC) remains unclear. We aimed to study if the addition of IC to standard treatment increases the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR). Methods We assembled a retrospective analysis of patients (pts) diagnosed with locally advanced EC and treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy (CRT+S), preceded or not by IC, between 2009 and 2017. Patients' characteristics, tumor variables, and treatment outcomes were evaluated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival and the Cox proportional hazard model to evaluate prognostic factors. Results One hundred and three patients were studied, with a median age of 62 years (range 37-84). Seventy-five patients (73%) were male, 67 (65%) had squamous cell carcinoma, and 31 (30%) had adenocarcinoma. Forty-three patients (41.7%) received IC followed by CRT+S (IC+CRT+S). The most frequent IC consisted of paclitaxel and platinum chemotherapy (90%), and the median number of cycles was 2. All patients received CRT+S. Concurrent chemotherapy was a combination of paclitaxel and platinum in 94 patients (91%). There was no statistically significant difference in pCR between the IC group and the standard CRT+S group. The pCR was 41.9% and 46.7% in the IC+CRT+S and CRT+S groups (p = 0.628), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, pCR was an independent prognostic factor for time to treatment failure (TTF) (HR 0.35, p = 0.021), but not for overall survival (OS) (p = 0.863). The factor that significantly affected OS in the multivariate analysis was positive lymph node (HR 5.9, 95%, p = 0.026). Conclusions Our data suggest that the addition of IC to standard CRT + S does not increase the pCR rate in locally advanced EC. No difference in OS was observed between pts. that received or not IC. Regardless of the treatment received, pts. achieving a pCR presented improved TTF.
- Predictive factors of recurrence in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction in the multimodal era(2021) TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; MUNIZ, Renan Rosetti; TUSTUMI, Francisco; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi de; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; CECCONELLO, IvanIntroduction: Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEGJ) represents a poor prognostic tumor. We evaluated the recurrence pattern and risk factors associated with recurrence in patients undergoing surgical resection by AEJG. Methods: Recurrences were categorized as locoregional, peritoneal, or distant. These three recurrence groups and a non-recurrence group were compared, and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for each one was obtained. Results: We analyzed 188 patients with curative surgical treatment. Recurrence was observed in 72 (38.3%) patients. Locoregional recurrence was observed in 17 (23.6%); 20 (27.8%) peritoneal recurrence and 35 (48.6%) distant metastasis. DFS was 9, 5, and 8 months, and OS was 21.8, 13.2, and 20.8, respectively. Tumors larger than 5 cm are risk factors for peritoneal recurrence (OR:2.88, p = 0.012). Positive lymph nodes were related to distant metastasis (OR:9.15, p = 0.040), and lymphatic invasion for locoregional recurrence (OR:3.81, p = 0.028). Conclusion: AEGJ is associated with high rates of early recurrence.
- GASTRIC CANCER WITH POSITIVE EXPRESSION OF ESTROGEN RECEPTOR ALPHA: A CASE SERIES FROM A SINGLE WESTERN CENTER(2021) SILVA, Alice Cristina Castro D. A.; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; CARDIL, Leonardo; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi deBACKGROUND: Despite advances in therapies, the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) remains poor. Several studies have demonstrated the expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERa); however, its significance in GC remains controversial. AIM: The present study aims to report a case series of GC with ERa-positive expression and describe their clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated patients with GC who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent between 2009 and 2019. ERa expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry through tissue microarray construction. Patients with ERa-negative gastric adenocarcinoma served as a comparison group. RESULTS: During the selected period, 6 (1.8%) ERa-positive GC were identified among the 345 GC patients analyzed. All ERa-positive patients were men, aged 34-78 years, and had Lauren diffuse GC and pN+ status. Compared with ERa-negative patients, ERa-positive patients had larger tumor size (p=0.031), total gastrectomy (p=0.012), diffuse/mixed Lauren type (p=0.012), presence of perineural invasion (p=0.030), and lymph node metastasis (p=0.215). The final stage was IIA in one case, IIIA in three cases, and IIIB in two cases. Among the six ERa-positive patients, three had disease recurrence (peritoneal) and died. There was no significant difference in survival between ERa-positive and ERa-negative groups. CONCLUSIONS: ERa expression is less common in GC, is associated with diffuse histology and presence of lymph node metastasis, and may be a marker related to tumor progression and worse prognosis. Also, a high rate of peritoneal recurrence was observed in ERa-positive patients. HEADINGS: Stomach Neoplasms. Estrogen Receptor alpha. Immunohistochemistry. Molecular Targeted Therapy. Prognosis
- Safety and Effectiveness of Chemotherapy for Metastatic Esophageal Cancer in a Community Hospital in Brazil(2019) VICTOR, Carolina Ribeiro; FUJIKI, Femanda Kaori; TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; HOFF, Paulo Marcelo Gehm; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi dePURPOSE Despite epidemiologic and molecular differences between esophageal and stomach cancers, most published studies have included patients with either disease in a metastatic scenario. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer in the community setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with synchronous metastatic esophageal cancer treated at a public hospital between 2008 and 2016. Patients were grouped according to a prescribed chemotherapy protocol: platinum and taxane (group A); platinum and irinotecan (group B); platinum and fluoropyrimidine (group C); and without platinum (group D). RESULTS Of the 1,789 patients with esophageal cancer treated, we included 397 with metastatic disease at presentation. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent histology (78.8%). Median overall survival (OS) was 7 months (95% CI, 6.15 to 7.85 months). Chemotherapy was administered to 285 patients, who reached a median OS of 9.0 months (95% CI, 8.0 to 9.9 months); for 112 patients who did not receive treatment, median OS was 3 months (95% CI, 2.3 to 3.7 months; P < .001). The most used combination was platinum plus irinotecan (A; 55.5%). Disease control with in groups A, B, C, and D was 39.2%, 30.1%, 53% and 14.3%, respectively. Patients in group C reached a median OS of 17 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 20.8 months; P = .034). No differences were observed in median OS obtained with other protocols (9 months). The toxicity profile was different according to chemotherapy, with more severe events (hematologic, diarrhea, and number of days hospitalized) occurring in group B. CONCLUSION Platinum plus paclitaxel or platinum plus irinotecan provided similar OS in community patients, although patients receiving irinotecan experienced more severe events. In the adenocarcinoma population, a fluoropyrimidine plus platinum-based regimen, although less frequently used, had a more favorable toxicity profile, with superior median OS and disease control.

bookPart Estadiamento do câncer(2016) DIZ, Maria Del Pilar Estevez; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi de- 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 CarlosBACKGROUND: 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.

Costa e; BUDMANN, E.; HOFF, P. M.; CASTRO JR., G.- 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 deBackground 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.
