Abstract Aims The Enhanced Recovery Programme for Liver Surgery (ERPLS) has been shown to promote functional recovery and reduce hospital stay. However, its effect on long term survival has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the ERPLS on 5-year patient survival. Methods This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) between January 2011 and December 2016 at a regional hepatobiliary centre. The cohort comprised of 60 pre-ERPLS and 60 post-ERPLS patients. The primary outcome was 5-year patient survival. The secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), postoperative complications and 90-day readmission rates. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of overall survival. Results There was no significant difference in the age (p = 0.960), gender (p = 0.332) and type of resection (p = 0.198) between both groups. ERPLS was not an independent predictor for overall survival (Gehan Wilcoxon Test, p = 0.828). There was no significant difference in the LOS (p = 0.874) and 90-day readmission rates (p = 0.349). Major postoperative complications (>3a Clavien-Dindo classification) were significantly less in the ERPLS group (p = 0.02). On multivariate analysis, positive resection margins and major postoperative complications were independent predictors for overall survival. Conclusions ERPLS does not seem to have an effect on long term patient survival. However, it appears to reduce the rate of major postoperative complications. LOS and 90-day readmission rates were not influenced by ERPLS.

Abstract Background and Study Aims The exact reason of long-term survival in glioblastoma (GBM) patients has remained uncertain. Molecular parameters in addition to histology to define malignant gliomas are hoped to facilitate clinical, experimental, and epidemiological studies. Material and Methods A population of GBM patients with similar clinical characteristics (especially similar resectability) was reviewed to compare the molecular variables between poor (overall survival [OS] < 18 months, control cohort) and long-term survivors (overall survival > 36 months, OS-36 cohort). Results Long-term GBM survivors were younger. In the OS-36 cohort, the positive rate of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation was very low (7.69%, 3/39) and there was no statistical difference in OS between IDH mutant and wild-type patients. The results of 1p/19q codeletions are similar. Besides, there were no significant difference in MGMT promoter methylation, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutation, and TP53 mutations between OS-36 cohort and control cohort. Conclusions No distinct markers consistently have been identified in long-term survivors of GBM patients, and great importance should be attached to further understand the biological characteristics of the invasive glioma cells because of the nature of diffuse tumor permeation.

Abstract   During esophagectomy for cancer, there is no consensus if prophylactic thoracic duct ligation (TDL), with or without thoracic duct resection (TDR), could influence the perioperative outcomes and long-term survival. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared patients who went through esophagectomy associated or not to ligation or resection of the thoracic duct. Methods A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library Central and Lilacs (BVS). The inclusion criteria were: (1) studies that compare thoracic duct ligation, with or without resection, and non-thoracic duct ligation; (2) involve adult patients with esophageal cancer; (3) articles that analyses the outcomes—perioperative complications, perioperative mortality, chylothorax development and overall survival; (4) only clinical trials and cohort were accepted. A 95% confidence interval (CI) was used, and random-effects model was performed. Results Fifteen articles were selected, comprising 6,249 patients. TDL did not reduce the risk for chylothorax (Risk difference [RD]: -0.01; 95%CI: −0.02, 0.00). Also, TDL did not influence the risk for complications (RD: -0.02; 95%CI: −0.11, 0.07); mortality (RD: 0.00; 95%CI: −0.00, 0.00); and reoperation rate (RD: -0.01; 95%CI: −0.02, 0.00). TDR was associated with higher risk for postoperative complications (RD: 0.1; 95%CI 0.00, 0.19); chylothorax (RD: 0.02; 95%CI 0.00, 0.03). Both TDL and TDR did not influence the overall survival rate (TDL: HR: 1.17; 95%CI: 0.86, 1.48; and TDR: HR: 1.16; 95%CI: 0.8, 1.51). Conclusion Thoracic duct obliteration with or without its resection during esophagectomy does not change long term survival. Nonetheless, TDR increased the risk for postoperative complications and chylothorax.

Objective The effect of postoperative complications including red blood transfusion (BT) on long-term survival for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to define the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients with HCC. Methods Postoperative complications of 1251 patients who underwent curative liver resection for HCC were classified, and their recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cumulative overall survival (OS) were investigated. Results Any complications occurred in 503 patients (40%). Five-year RFS and 5-year OS in the complication group were 21% and 56%, respectively, significantly lower than the respective values of 32% ( p &lt; 0.001) and 68% ( p &lt; 0.001) in the no-complication group (n=748). Complications related to RFS were postoperative BT [Hazard ratio (HR): 1.726, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.338–2.228, p &lt; 0.001], pleural effusion [HR: 1.434, 95% CI: 1.200–1.713, p &lt; 0.001] using Cox-proportional hazard model. Complications related to OS were postoperative BT [HR: 1.843, 95%CI: 1.380-2.462, p &lt; 0.001], ascites [HR: 1.562, 95% CI: 1.066–2.290 p = 0.022], and pleural effusion [HR: 1.421, 95% CI: 1.150–1.755, p = 0.001). Conclusions Postoperative complications were factors associated with poor long-term survival. Postoperative BT and pleural effusion, were noticeable complications that were prognostic factors for both recurrence-free survival and overall survival.

PURPOSE Despite improvement in chemotherapy and supportive care over the past two decades, overall survival for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) remains poor; only 25% to 30% of individuals with this disorder will be cured. In 1987, we initiated a prospective multiinstitution study designed to improve long-term survival in adults with AML. METHODS We modified the usual 7-day treatment scheme of daunorubicin and cytarabine with high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) on days 8 through 10 (3 + 7 + 3). Allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was offered to all patients who entered complete remission (CR) to decrease the rate of leukemic relapse. Data were analyzed by intention to treat. RESULTS CRs were achieved in 84 of 94 patients (89%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 83 to 95). Because of the high remission rate, factors previously thought to predict outcome, such as cytogenetics, WBC count, French-American-British (FAB) classification, sex, and age, were not useful prognostic variables. The overall survival rate for the entire cohort of patients from data of diagnosis is 55% at 5 years. Sixty percent of all patients who achieved a CR underwent marrow grafting. There was no significant difference in event-free survival (EFS) at 5 years comparing patients assigned to receive allogeneic BMT with patients assigned to receive autologous BMT (56% v 45%, P = .54). CONCLUSION The long-term disease-free survival observed in this study is excellent compared with historical data. This improvement in survival is probably due to the high rate of remission induction, as well as to the effective nature of the consolidation therapy.

Abstract Aim To investigate whether preoperative malnutrition is associated with long term outcome and survival in patients undergoing radical oesophagectomy for oesophageal or oesophagogastric junction cancer. Background & Methods Dysphagia, weight loss, chemo-radiationtherapy frequently lead to malnutrition in patients with oesophageal or oesophagogastric junction cancer. Severe malnutrition is associated with higher risk of postoperative complications but little is known on the correlation with long term survival. We conducted a single center retrospective study on a prospectively collected database of patients undergoing oesophagectomy from 2008 and 2012 in order to evaluate the impact of preoperative malnutrition with postoperative outcome and long term survival. Preoperative malnutrition was classified as: prealbumin level less than 220 mg/dL (PL), MUST index (Malnutrition Universal Screeening Tool) >2 and weight loss >10%. Results 177 consecutive patients were considered: due to incomplete data 60 were excluded from the analysis that was performed on 117 patients. PL was reported in 52 (44%) patients, MUST index was recorded in 62 (53%), 58 (49%) patients presented more than 10% weight loss at the preoperative evaluation. PL was associated with more postoperative Clavien-Dindo 1-2 complications (p=0.048, OR 2.35 95%IC 1.001-5.50), no differences were observed in mortality, anastomotic leak, major pulmonary complications. MUST index was not correlated with postoperative complications nor mortality but resulted worse in patients treated with chemo-radiotherapy (p=0.046, OR 1.92 95%CI 1.011-3.64). Weight loss >10% was not associated with postoperative complications or mortality. Overall 7 years survival rate was 69%. and DFS was 68%. Malnourished patients did not differ from non-malnourished regarding age, sex, tumor site, tumor stage and histology. No significant difference in 7 years survival rates was observed in patients with PL <220 mg/dL ( 55 % vs 67%), neither in patients with MUST score>2 (58% vs 72%), nor in patients with weight loss >10% (53% vs 70%). Conclusions Malnutrition is more common in patients treated with chemoradiation therapy and it is associated with postoperative complications. However, both long term and disease free survival are not affected by preoperative nutritional status. Larger patient population and data on long term postoperative nutritional status will be analyzed in further studies.

Abstract   Despite the attempts to reduce postoperative complication incidence after esophageal cancer surgery, up to 60% of patients endure postoperative complications. These patients often have a reduced health related quality of life (HR-QoL) and it may also have a negative effect on long-term survival. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference in short- and long-term HR-QoL in patients with and without a complicated postoperative course. Methods A retrospective comparative cohort study was performed with data from the Dutch Cancer Registry (IKNL) and QoL questionnaires from POCOP, a longitudinal patient reported outcomes study. All patients with esophageal and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer after an esophagectomy with or without neoadjuvant chemo(radio) therapy in the period of 2015–2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were palliative surgery, patients with a recurrence, reconstruction with a colonic or jejunal interposition, no reconstruction and emergency surgery. HR-QoL was investigated at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months postoperatively between patients with and without complications following an esophagectomy. Results A total of 486 patients were included: 270 with and 216 without postoperative complications. The majority of patients were male (79.8%) with a median age of 66 years (IQR 60–70.25). Significantly more patients had comorbidities in the group with postoperative complications (69.6% vs 57.3%, p = 0.001). A significant difference in HR-QoL over time was found between the two groups in “choked when swallowing” score (p = 0.028). Patients that endured postoperative complications reported more problems with choking when swallowing at 9 months follow-up (mean score 12.9 vs 8.4, p = 0.047). This difference was not clinically relevant with a mean score difference of 4.6 points. Conclusion Postoperative complications do not significantly influence the short- and long-term HR-QoL in patients following an esophagectomy. Only one HR-QoL domain showed difference over time, however, this was not clinically relevant.

597 Background: Post-operative C-reactive protein concentrations (CRP) have been reported to be associated with the development of complications following surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC). The development of complications and an exaggerated post-op CRP are associated with poor long term survival. However, whether this is due to the complication or to the CRP concentration remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine whether post-op CRP concentrations, independent of post-op complications, were associated with poor long term survival following surgery for CRC. Methods: Included patients were obtained from a prospectively maintained database of CRC resections from a single institution (1999-2013). The relationship between post-op CRP concentrations and overall survival (OS) was examined using Cox regression analysis. Results: 813 patients were included. The majority of patients were > 65 yrs (67%), male (55%) and underwent elective surgery (90%). 257 patients (32%) suffered a complication. Median follow up was 49 months with 314 deaths. In those undergoing elective surgery, 508 patients had an uncomplicated post-op course. In these patients, post-op CRP was significantly lower, on post-op days 2, 3 and 4 (p < 0.001) compared to those with complications. On univariate survival analysis, CRP concentrations on day 2 (HR 1.003, p = 0.008), 3 (HR 1.003, p = 0.024) and 4 (HR 1.003, p = 0.019) were associated with poorer overall survival. On multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, sex and TNM stage, day 2 CRP (HR 1.003, p = 0.006), age (HR 1.70, p < 0.001) and TNM stage (HR 1.61, p < 0.001) were independently associated with poorer survival. On multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, sex and TNM stage, day 3 CRP (HR 1.003, p = 0.030), age (HR 1.70, p < 0.001) and TNM stage (HR 1.63, p < 0.001) were independently associated with poorer survival. Conclusions: In patients undergoing elective surgery for CRC who have an uncomplicated post-op course, the post-op day 2 and 3 CRP concentrations were independently associated with poorer survival. Therefore, CRP could be considered a potential therapeutic target in future attempts to try and improve outcomes following surgery for CRC.

Abstract Background Esophagectomy with 2–3 field lymph node dissection is one of the most invasive surgical treatment for malignancy and is still associated with a high mortality and morbidity despite improvements in surgical techniques and postoperative management. The impact of postoperative complications on perioperative morbidity is widely accepted. But the impact of postoperative complications on long-term survival remains controversial. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patient who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy with intrathoracic anastomosis for esophageal cancer between January 2005 and December 2012 in our department (415 patients). We excluded non-radical resections (R1, R2 – 27 patients, 6.5%) and patients who died within 90 day after operation (20 patients, 4.8%). Data on gender, BMI, histologic diagnosis, tumor staging, neoadjuvant treatment, comorbidities, technical complications and postoperative medical complications were reviewed. Considered postoperative complications were anastomotic leak, empyema, chyle leak, pneumonia, ARDS, cardiac arrhythmia, wound infection and urinary tract infection. We analysed separately extrapolated serious complications Clavien Dindo 3–4 and their possible impact on overall survival. Prognostic factors were assessed by multivariate analysis. Results Total number of analysed patients was 363. The median follow up was 8.5 years. From the baseline characteristics, the presence of atrial fibrillation (P = 0.0157, HR 2.376) and hypertension (P = 0.0093, HR 1.488), higher staging pT3–4 (0.0146, HR 1.437) and presence of lymph node metastasis pN + (P < 0.001, HR 2.263) had a negative impact on overall survival. Among the postoperative complications, only chyle leak (P = 0.0327, HR 4.023) had a negative prognostic factor on overall survival. Conclusion In this single institution series, among the postoperative complications only chylothorax affect negatively the overall survival. Accurate ligation of resected thoracic duct stumps to minimize chyle leak is important to improve outcomes. The influence of others postoperative complications wasn’t significant. We assume important to exclude postoperative mortality from analysis to prevent bias. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complication and its etiology on long-term survival for gastric cancer (GC) patients with curative resection.MethodsFrom January 2009 to December 2014, a total of 1,667 GC patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy were analyzed. Patients with severe complications (SCs) (Clavien–Dindo grade III or higher complications or those causing a hospital stay of 15 days or longer) were separated into a “complication group.” Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to reveal the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival. A 2:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline parameters between the two groups.ResultsSCs were diagnosed in 168 (10.08%) patients, including different etiology: infectious complications (ICs) in 111 (6.66%) and non-infectious complications (NICs) in 71 (4.26%) patients. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of SCs (P=0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, and further analysis by complication type demonstrated that the deteriorated overall survival was mainly caused by ICs (P=0.004) rather than NICs (P=0.068). After PSM, patients with SCs (p=0.002) still had a significantly decreased overall survival, and the presence of ICs (P=0.002) rather than NICs (P=0.067) showed a negative impact on long-term survival.ConclusionSerious complications, particularly of an infectious type, may have a negative impact on overall survival of GC patients. However, additional multicenter prospective studies with larger sample size are required to verify this issue.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate whether difference between ‘lung age’ and real age (L-R) could be useful for the prediction of postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients with esophageal cancer followed by minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).Methods This retrospective cohort study included 625 consecutive patients who had undergone MIE. ‘Lung age’ was determined by the calculation method proposed by Japanese Respiratory Society. According to L-R, patients were classified into three groups: group A: L-R≦ 0 (n =104), group B:15>L-R>0 (n =199), group C:L-R≥15 (n = 322). Clinicopathological factors, postoperative complications evaluated by comprehensive complications index (CCI) and overall survival were compared between the groups. A CCI value >30 indicated a severe postoperative complication.Results Male, smoking status, smoking index, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, lung age, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s were associated with group classification. CCI values, postoperative hospital stays, and hospital cost were significantly different among groups. Multivariate analysis indicated that L-R, coronary heart disease, 3-field lymphadnectomy were significant factors for prediction of CCI value>30. Regarding overall survival, there was a significant difference between group A and group B+C (log rank test: P= 0.03). Conclusions Esophageal cancer patients with impaired pulmonary function had a higher risk of severe postoperative complications and poorer prognosis than those with normal pulmonary function. Difference between ‘lung age’ and ‘real age’ is a novel predictor of severe postoperative complications and long-term survival and has extensive clinical value.
