Abstract Background Definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer which was unresectable tumor has become common therapy. In recently, we have perform chemoradiotherapy for resectable tumor because esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is an invasive surgical procedure. But some cases were recurrent. We examined the treatment strategy and clinical outcomes of salvage esophagectomy after definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. Methods We reviewed 46 cases of subjects with esophageal cancer who underwent salvage esophagectomy after definitive chemoradiotherapy with more than 50Gy of radiation from 2000 to 2017. We exam (1) Back ground (2) Term after Chemoradiotherapy (3)Surgical approach (4) Route of reconstruction (5)Rang of lymphanodectomy (6)Complication (7)Prognosis.

Abstract Background Mediastinoscopic esophagectomy is a minimally invasive surgery for thoracic esophageal cancer avoiding one-lung ventilation or transthoracic procedure. Methods We performed for the first time in the literature, salvage esophagectomy with combination of mediastinoscopic cervical approach and laparoscopic/mediastinoscopic transhiatal approach for recurrent thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) in a patient who had previously undergone a left pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer. Results A 66-year-old man was diagnosed as local recurrence of lower ESCC (cT3N0M0 cStage II) at 9 years after dCRT. His medical history included left-sided pneumonectomy for lung adenocarcinoma 9 years previously. Then the patient was diagnosed as lower thoracic ESCC (cT3N1M0 cStage III) at 2 months after pneumonectomy. He received dCRT consisting of CDDP/5-FU infusion and irradiation (60 Gy) and achieved complete response. No evidence of tumor recurrence was observed at endoscopic surveillance up until 6 years after dCRT. For this present surgery, a cervical wound was made and the intramediastinal procedure was performed under pneumomediastinum. After mobilization of upper/middle thoracic esophagus, the esophageal wall was safely separated from the remaining part and the stump of the left main bronchus. Dense adhesions between the esophagus and fibrotic tissue at the site of previous left mediastinal pleural resection was divided using a sealing device. In the abdomen, 5 ports were inserted to perform abdominal and transhiatal procedures under CO2 insufflation. After mobilization of the stomach, fibrotic scar tissue around the lower esophagus was divided using a sealing device and the peri-esophageal space dissected from cervical and transhiatal approach were connected to completely mobilize the thoracic esophagus. The esophagectomy was uneventfully carried out followed by reconstruction with gastric conduit via retrosternal rout. Pathological findings demonstrated a moderately differentiated ESCC (pT3-AD pN1 M0 pStage III), indicating that R0 resection was successfully performed. The patient has been closely observed as an outpatient and was alive and healthy at 3 months after the operation without tumor recurrence. Conclusion Mediastinoscopic esophagectomy is a safe and curative treatment strategy for esophageal cancer patients who had a previous pneumonectomy, even in salvage surgery for recurrent cancer after dCRT.

Abstract Background Salvage surgery for esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) patients with locoregional failure after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is high risk, and no surgical consensus has been established. We evaluated our 2 procedures of salvage surgery for failure which was confirmed by GS, CT, and PET: [SE] esophagectomy followed by reconstruction for patients ≤ 80 yo, without cT4 at the initial presentation, and whose recurrent/residual tumor can be removed as a R0 resection, and [SL] dissection of only metastatic abdominal lymph nodes for patients without any other failure. Methods All patients received dCRT ≥ 50 Gy followed by salvage surgery. In 17 patients who underwent SE from 2009 to 2014, prophylactic dissection of cervical or 106 tbL nodes was often omitted, poststernal route was preferred, LigasureTM was routinely used, and aggressive nutritional intervention with enteral nutrition was perioperatively supplied. In SL for 5 patients until 2016, No. 3 and 7 nodes were removed. Results [SE] Sixteen patients received R0 resection. Postoperative complications were noted in 6 patients (35%), and pleural effusion was the most common (24%). However, neither anastomotic leakage nor in-hospital death developed. Median overall survival (OS) time is 44 months, and provisional 5-year OS rate is 41%. While 7 patients died of esophageal caner, one died from another caner and 3 died from other illness. Tentative 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate is 54%. Between cases with relapse after CR and cases with residual tumor, no significant difference was found in postoperative recurrence (2/8 vs. 5/9, P = 0.33) and survival (provisional 5-year OS rate: 50 vs. 33%, P = 0.45/provisional 5-year DFS rate: 70 vs. 40%, P = 0.22), while the relapsed patients after CR showed a little better outcome. [SL] Three patients have no relapse for 60/36/18 months after SL. One developed bone metastasis in 54 months after SL. One patient developed repeated abdominal recurrence and underwent SL again. Conclusion SE can be safely performed with strict planning, secure surgery and appropriate perioperative care. SL can also be beneficial as a less invasive salvage surgery to selected patients. Strict decision-making and appropriate postoperative follow-up method with attention to other diseases should be established based on further studies.

Background: The treatment strategy in active infective endocarditis (IE) with cerebral complications still remains unclear. We sought to analyze the association of the neurological deficit level with the clinical outcomes in IE patients with stroke. Methods and Results: Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed in 141 consecutive patients with active left-sided IE with cerebral complications. To evaluate the severity of stroke, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was assessed in all patients on admission. There were 116 (82%) patients with cerebral infarction including 9 hemorrhagic infarctions and 57 (40%) patients with cerebral hemorrhage. We divided the patients according to NIHSS; severe stroke group (NIHSS>16: n=19) and non-severe stroke group (NIHSS≤16: n=122). Early surgery in the active phase (within 2 weeks after the initial diagnosis) was performed in 64 patients (6 severe stroke group and 58 non-severe stroke group), and the conventional treatment strategy was applied in 77 patients (13 severe stroke group and 64 non-severe stroke group). In the conventional treatment group, 37 patients (36 severe stroke group and 1 non-severe stroke group) underwent late surgical intervention. A mean follow-up period was 4.5 years. In-hospital death was significantly lower in non-severe stroke group (12% versus 53%, p<0.001). In addition, the freedom rate from IE-related death was significantly higher in patients with non-severe stroke than those with severe stroke (84±4 % versus 37±13 % at 5-year, p<0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that NIHSS (HR=1.074; 95% CI 1.042-1.107: p<0.001), logistic EuroSCORE (HR=1.026; 95% CI 1.010-1.042: p=0.002), conventional treatment (HR=3.478; 95% CI 1.477-8.193: p=0.004), and aortic valve involvement (HR=3.091; 95% CI 1.460-6.546: p=0.003) were significantly associated with IE-related mortality (p<0.001). Conclusions: Severity of stroke was strongly associated with clinical outcomes in IE patients with cerebral complications. Therapeutic strategy for IE patients with stroke might have to be customized according to severity of neurological deficit.

Abstract Background In Japan, following the results of JCOG 9907 trial, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical surgery has been a standard treatment for Non-T4 cStage II/III esophageal cancer. Since 2009 we have also positioned NAC as standard treatment. We examined treatment outcomes and problems in our institute. Methods From 2009 to 2015, there were 64 patients with non-T4 stage II/III esophageal cancer treated with chemotherapy who are planned to undergo curative surgery. The standard NAC regimen consists of 2 courses of CDDP/5-FU (CF) therapy. As standard surgical procedure, subtotal esophagectomy, cervical anastomosis, three regional lymph node dissection were performed. Results The number of patients was 23/41 cases of cStage II/III respectively. 53 patients (88%) completed two courses of NAC. At the end of first course, NAC was terminated due to adverse events in 4 cases and due to the increasing tendency of tumors in 7 cases. NAC-induced adverse events of grade 3 or higher consists of myelosuppression in 27 cases (42%), appetite loss in 5 cases and so on. Surgery was performed in 61 cases (95%), of which R0 operation in 56 cases (88%), R1 operation in 3 cases and R2 operation in 2 cases. Three patients did not undergo surgery due to progressive disease. There were 7 cases (11%) of postoperative complications of Grade 3 or higher, but there was no in-hospital death. In the histological therapeutic effect, there were 5/41/7/4/3 cases for Grade 0/1a/1b/2/3, respectively. Three-year and five-year overall survival rate of all 64 patients were 68% and 47%. In 56 patients who underwent R0 surgery, they were 76% and 61% respectively. Conclusion From the viewpoint of adverse events and postoperative complications, NAC plus radical surgery for cStage II/III esophageal cancer could be performed safely. Considering that more than 60% of the patients belong to cStage III, this treatment strategy resulted in relatively favorable prognosis.

Abstract Background Surgical resection is considering the gold standard in esophageal cancer treatment, with 15–40% cure global rates. Radical exclusive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is used in patients with local advanced esophageal cancer or without clinical conditions for esophagectomy, with a 5-year overall survival up to 30%. However, locoregional control is poor with a 40–60% recurrence rate and salvage esophagectomy maybe an option for these patients. Methods Our objective is to report the experience of a single high volume oncological institution with salvage esophagectomy. Retrospective analysis of 28 patients medical records, with esophageal cancer, submitted to Salvage Esophagectomy in Brazilian NCI after radical exclusive CRT or RT between January 1990 and December 2015. Results Median age was 56 years and most are male (78,5%). Esophageal middle third was the tumor principal location (50%) and histological type was squamous cell carcinoma (82%). Thoracic approach for esophagectomy was the principal surgical technique, and gastric tube the most used conduit for reconstruction (78,5%). Surgery was R0 in 83% of the cases, with a surgical morbidity of 64%. Median hospital time was 15 days (8–58) and surgical mortality 14% (4 patients), with 7% in the first 30 days. Median overall survival was 22,3 months. Conclusion Our results are in line with published data in the literature. Besides surgical morbidity and mortality, Salvage Esophagectomy remains de only chance of cure for patients with locoregional recurrence after radical exclusive CRT.

Abstract Background Salvage Lymphadenectomy is regarded as the only curative surgery to residual or recurrence lymph nodes of esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT). However, salvage lymphadenectomy is not described in the Japanese esophageal cancer treatment guideline because of little evidences for the safety and efficacy. Methods From January 2011 to December 2015, we performed 14 salvage lymphadenectomies to residual or recurrence LN of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) in Osaka University. We assessed postoperative complications and long-term outcome. Results Average age was 64 year-olds (SD: 5.2). Male: Female = 11: 3. cStage I: II-IV = 7: 7. Surgery to cervical LN were 11 patients and abdominal LN were 3 patients. Surgery to residual LN (res-LN) were 9 patients and recurrence LN (rec-LN) were 5 patients. rec-LN patient's median time to recurrence after dCRT was 14.3 months (10.2–29.3). 4 patients were performed lymphadenectomy resecting with adjacent organs, 3 patients were bronchus (trachea? ) and 1 patient was right subclavian artery. 4 patients had postoperative complication, two were pneumonia, one was pulmonary thrombosis and one was lymphorrhea, but there was no serious case (Clavien-Dindo Grade II or less). We didn’t have hospital death. Six of 14 patients had recurrence and died after salvage lymphadenectomy. Recurrence sites were 2 mediastinal lymph nodes and liver, lung, loco-regional and peritoneal. But no patients had recurrence of main tumor. 5-year overall survival rate was 51.1%. Median survival time in 9 patients, surgery to res-LN, was 18.9 months (10.4–132 months) and 5 patients, surgery to rec-LN, was 4.9 months (1.4–26.6 months). Surgery to res-LN patients were longer than rec-LN patients in overall survival after salvage lymphadenectomy (P = 0.395). There was no difference due to the difference in recurrence site of the cancer in overall survival after salvage lymphadenectomy. Conclusion Our data show salvage lymphadenectomy safety and effectiveness after dCRT. Salvage lymphadenectomy may extend the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer after dCRT. Thus, salvage lymphadenectomy may be one of the treatment options for the patients with residual or recurrent, especially the former, lymph node after definitive CRT, although it is necessary to evaluate in many cases.

Abstract Background Although definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with salvage esophagectomy has improved overall survival (OS) for esophageal cancer, it is a more invasive approach than neoadjuvant CRT followed by surgery or surgery alone, and causes high mortality after surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the short and long-term outcomes of salvage esophagectomy, to determine their prognostic factors, and to create a prediction model for OS using a classification and regression tree (CART). Methods Ninety patients who had undergone CRT followed by esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer at Keio University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, between June 1994 and August 2014 were identified for this study. We divided the 90 patients into two groups—the salvage group and the neoadjuvant group—according to the dose of irradiation of CRT. Forty-four patients who underwent CRT with radiation dose less than 50 Gy, followed by planned esophagectomy, were allocated to the neoadjuvant group. Forty-six patients with salvage esophagectomy for locally recurrent or residual cancer after definitive CRT (greater than 50 Gy) were allocated to the salvage group. Results Patients from the salvage group tended to have a lower OS (median survival: Salvage, 25 months vs neoadjuvant, 50 months, P = 0.149). In the salvage group, pneumonia and age were identified as factors predictive of in-hospital mortality. OS was significantly lower in patients with postoperative pneumonia and female gender. We set the prediction model for OS in the salvage group using survival CART. The group of R1/2 resection aged ≥ 56.5 years and the group suffering from postoperative pneumonia were the groups at highest risk; the area under the curve was 0.72. Conclusion The present study demonstrates the short-term and long-term prognostic factors of salvage esophagectomy after definitive CRT for esophageal cancer. Achieving improvement in OS after salvage surgery requires increased R0 resection rates and decreased pulmonary complications. Both informed decision making in the adoption of salvage surgery and specific plans to reduce pneumonia through means such as pulmonary rehabilitation are required.
