Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) and its treatment produces systemic immunosuppression, which is being targeted by immunotherapies. However, it remains unclear how surgical resection and steroids specifically in GBM alter the immune system. To further explore this issue, immunocompetent C57Bl/6 mice were intracranially inoculated with syngeneic glioma cells (GL261 and CT-2A) and growth of tumors was evaluated by MRI. Host immune cell populations were analyzed during surgical resection and steroid administration. Mice with surgically resected tumors had a longer median survival compared to mice subjected to tumor biopsies, and had increased bone marrow sequestration of both CD4 and CD8 T cells with corresponding decreased blood lymphocytes. Furthermore, physiologic doses of dexamethasone administered perioperatively decreased tumor edema, but increased the number and proliferative capacity of both marrow and circulating MDSCs while generating no survival benefit. Independent of therapy or dexamethasone, intracranial tumor volume correlated linearly with decreased CD4 and CD8 T cells in peripheral blood, and increased T cell sequestration within the bone marrow. We validated these parameters in steroid-naïve newly diagnosed GBM patients and observed decreased lymphocytes correlated linearly with increased tumor volume. When initial lymphocyte counts in both steroid-naïve and steroid-administered patients were used in univariate and multivariate models predicting progression-free survival and overall survival, decreased initial lymphocyte counts were an independent predictor of decreased progression free survival and decreased overall survival, with steroid use and initial tumor size falling out of significance during stepwise selection. Taken together, tumor volume is linearly correlated with marrow sequestration of lymphoid cells, but both surgery and steroid administration further suppress active immune responses along lymphoid and myeloid lineages. Furthermore, decreasing peripheral lymphocyte counts at diagnosis of GBM indicate an immune system less able to mount responses to the tumor and portent a worse progression free and overall survival.

Abstract Background The effect of time delay from diagnosis to surgery on the prognosis of elderly patients with liver cancer is not well known. We investigated the effect of surgical timing on the prognosis of elderly hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing surgical resection and constructed a Nomogram model to predict the overall survival of patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on elderly patients with primary liver cancer after hepatectomy from 2012 to 2018. The effect of surgical timing on the prognosis of elderly patients with liver cancer was analyzed using the cut-off times of 18 days, 30 days, and 60 days. Cox was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of overall survival in patients, and a prognostic model was constructed. Results A total of 232 elderly hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent hepatectomy were enrolled in this study. The cut-off times of 18, 30, and 60 days were used. The duration of surgery had no significant effect on overall survival. Body Mass Index, Child-Pugh classification, Tumor size Max, and Length of stay were independent influencing factors for overall survival in the elderly Liver cancer patients after surgery. These factors combined with Liver cirrhosis and Venous tumor emboli were incorporated into a Nomogram. The nomogram was validated using the clinical data of the study patients, and exhibited better prediction for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival. Conclusions We demonstrated that the operative time has no significant effect on delayed operation in the elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and a moderate delay may benefit some patients. The constructed Nomogram model is a good predictor of overall survival in elderly patients with hepatectomy.

Abstract Background Esophageal cancer is the 8th most common cancer in the world. It is an lethal disease, responsible for almost 400.000 deaths by year. Surgical resection is considered the gold standard in esophageal cancer treatment, with a global 15–40% cure rate. In this study, the results of esophageal cancer surgical treatment at Brazilian National Cancer Institute, Abdominal-pelvic Surgical Section, is analyzed. Methods The medical records of 215 patients with esophageal cancer, treated with surgical resection (esophagectomy), between January 1999 and December 2015, were retrospectively studied. The endpoints analyzed in the study were: hospitalization time, operative complications and mortality, and overall survival. Results Esophageal cancer was predominant in male patients; median age was 58 years (27–78). Primary tumor location varied between 7,5 - 41 cm (median 32cm) and tumor extension 1 - 16cm (median 5cm). Median surgical time was 330 minutes (120–720); transhiatal esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction was the most used surgical approach. Tumors histopathological types were equaly distributed. ICU (Intensive Care Unit) stay median time was 5 days (1–87) and median hospitalization time was 15 days (5–166). Most common surgical complications were anastomotic leakage (25,5%) and pneumonia (20%), with a surgical morbidity rate of 61,8%. Surgical mortality rate was 12%, with 61% of these cases occuring in the 30 days after surgery. Median 2-year overall survival was 44,3 months. Conclusion Besides the high surgical morbidity, esophagectomy for esophageal cancer remains the standard treatment for patients with ressectable tumors and without clinical contraindications for surgery. Reduction of surgical mortality depends on rigorous patients selection, surgical team expertise and adequate perioperative and postoperative care.

Abstract Background: The benefits of surgical resection (SR) for various Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. We investigated the risk factors of overall survival (OS) and survival benefits of SR over nonsurgical treatments in patients with HCC of various BCLC stages.Methods: Overall, 2316 HCC patients were included, and their clinicopathological data and OS were recorded. OS was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed.Results: In total, 66 (2.8%), 865 (37.4%), 575 (24.8%) and 870 (35.0%) patients had BCLC stage 0, A, B, and C disease, respectively. Furthermore, 1302 (56.2%) of all patients, and 37 (56.9%), 472 (54.6%), 313 (54.4%) and 480 (59.3%) of patients with BCLC stage 0, A, B, and C disease, respectively, died. The median follow-up duration time was 20 (range 0-96) months for the total cohort and was subdivided into 52 (8-96), 32 (1-96), 19 (0-84), and 12 (0-79) months for BCLC stages 0, A, B, and C cohorts, respectively. The risk factors for OS were 1) SR and cirrhosis; 2) SR, cirrhosis, and Child-Pugh (C-P) class; 3) SR, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and C-P class; and 4) SR, HBV infection, and C-P class for the BCLC stage 0, A, B, and C cohorts, respectively. Compared to non-SR treatment, SR resulted in significantly higher survival rates in all cohorts. The 5-year OS rates for SR vs non-SR were 44.0% vs 28.7%, 72.2% vs 42.6%, 42.6% vs 36.2, 44.6% vs 23.5%, and 41.4% vs 15.3% (all p-values<0.05) in the total and BCLC stage 0, A, B, and C cohorts, respectively. After PSM, SR resulted in significantly higher survival rates compared to non-SR treatment in various BCLC stages.Conclusion: SR conferred significant survival benefits to patients with HCC of various BCLC stages and should be considered a recommended treatment for select HCC patients, especially patients with BCLC stage B and C disease.

Background: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumours (D-NETs) are rare but increasingly diagnosed. This study aimed to assess the overall survival and recurrence rate among patients treated for D-NETs. Methods: Patients with D-NETs were retrospectively reviewed with a median follow-up time of 4.8 years (range 0.0–17.2 years). Results: A total of 32 patients with median age 68.0 years were identified. Fifteen patients underwent surgery while ten patients underwent endoscopic treatment. Mean estimated overall survival for the entire population was 12.1 years (95% CI 9.5–14.7 years), while 5-year overall survival was 81.3%. Tumour grade G1 was associated with longer mean estimated survival compared to G2 tumours (13.2 years versus 4.4 years, p = 0.010). None of the 23 patients who underwent presumed radical endoscopic or surgical resection had disease recurrence during follow-up. Tumours <10 mm could be treated endoscopically whereas a high proportion of patients with tumours 10–20 mm should be considered for surgery. Conclusion: Patients with D-NETs had long overall survival, and mortality was more influenced by other diseases. Both endoscopic and surgical resections were effective as no recurrences were diagnosed during follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate factors associated with survival following transarterial 90Y (yttrium) radioembolization (TARE) in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: This retrospective multicenter study analyzed the outcome of three tertiary care cancer centers in patients with advanced ICC following resin microsphere TARE. Patients were included either after failed previous anticancer therapy, including relapse after surgical resection, or for having a minimum of 25% of total liver volume affected by ICC. Patients were stratified and response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria at 3 months. Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to analyze survival followed by cox regression to determine independent prognostic factors for survival. Results: 46 patients were included (19 male, 27 female), median age 62.5 years (range 29–88 years). A total of 65% of patients had undergone previous therapy, while 63% had a tumor volume > 25% of the entire liver volume. Median survival was 9.5 months (95% CI: 6.1–12.9 months). Due to loss in follow-up, n = 37 patients were included in the survival analysis. Cox regression revealed the extent of liver disease to one or both liver lobes being associated with survival, irrespective of tumor volume (p = 0.041). Patients with previous surgical resection of ICC had significantly decreased survival (3.9 vs. 12.8 months, p = 0.002). No case of radiation-induced liver disease was observed. Discussion: Survival after 90Y TARE in patients with advanced ICC primarily depends on disease extent. Only limited prognostic factors are associated with a general poor overall survival.
