Jejunostomy Feeding

Abstract Background Cancer of the esophagus has one of the highest known associations with cancer–related malnutrition. The aim of the current study was to investigate variation in the body composition of esophageal cancer patients receiving supplementary jejunostomy feeding during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and to assess its correlation with outcomes. Methods Retrospective review of esophageal cancer patient's receiving jejunal feeding during nCRT. Patients selected for jejunal feeding tube placement were considered at high nutritional risk according to ASPEN criteria. Assessment of body composition was performed using L3-axial CT images acquired at diagnosis and after nCRT. Results Eighty-one patients were eligible for inclusion (67 M, 65.9 ± 9.7 yrs). Average weight loss and BMI at diagnosis was 11.4 ± 6.5 Kg and 26.1 ± 4.6 Kg/m2 respectively. Failure to complete nCRT as prescribed occurred in one patient. Following nCRT the prevalence of sarcopenia increased significantly in males despite jejunal feeding (69% vs. 87%; P = 0.013) but fell in females (57% vs. 50%; P = 0.705). Patients could be categorized into three distinct groups according to the degree of skeletal muscle loss (ΔSMM) during nCRT: minor-loss/no-change (n = 28; Δ > −6 cm2); moderate loss (n = 27; Δ−17 to −6 cm2), and; severe loss (n = 26; Δ<17 cm2). A female predominance was observed amongst patients with minor-loss/no-change in SMM compared to patients with moderate and severe losses during nCRT (36% vs. 11% vs. 4%; P = 0.005). Visceral obesity was also less common in patients with minor-loss/no-change in SMM compared to patients with moderate and severe losses during nCRT (39% vs. 48% vs. 58%; P = 0.401). Compared to patients with moderate and severe SMM losses patients in whom SMM was persevered by jejunal feeding during nCRT tended to have lower rates of over-all complications (62% vs. 59% vs. 43%; P = 0.318); pneumonia (27% vs. 11% vs. 11%; P = 0.186), and; pulmonary embolism (15% vs. 0% vs. 0%; P = 0.012). Long-term survival was not affected by either sarcopenia or SMM and adipose tissue loss during nCRT (P > 0.05). Conclusion This is the first study to report variation in body composition in esophageal cancer patients receiving a defined nutritional intervention during nCRT. In selected patients jejunal feeding appeared to stabilize parameters of body composition whilst other patients experienced significant losses. Observed changes in body composition predominantly reflect sex differences and may offer an opportunity to improve nutritional monitoring and future patient care.

The effect of perioperative sarcopenic changes on prognosis remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 2333 non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated between January 2009 and December 2012 at the Asan Medical Center. The body composition at diagnosis was measured via abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) using Asan-J software. Patients underwent CT scans preoperatively, as well as at 6 months–1 year and 2–3 years postoperatively. The primary outcome was the association between perioperative sarcopenic changes and survival. According to sarcopenic criteria, 1155 (49.5%), 890 (38.2%), and 893 (38.3%) patients had sarcopenia preoperatively, 6 months–1 year, and 2–3 years postoperatively, respectively. The 5-year overall survival (OS) (95.8% vs. 92.1%, hazard ratio (HR) = 2.234, p < 0.001) and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) (93.2% vs. 86.2%, HR = 2.251, p < 0.001) rates were significantly lower in patients with preoperative sarcopenia. Both OS and RFS were lower in patients with persistent sarcopenia 2–3 years postoperatively than in those who recovered (OS: 96.2% vs. 90.2%, p = 0.001; RFS: 91.1% vs. 83.9%, p = 0.002). In multivariate analysis, postoperative sarcopenia was confirmed as an independent factor associated with decreased OS and RFS. Pre- and postoperative sarcopenia and changes in the condition during surveillance were associated with oncological outcomes.

Lymph Node Retrieval

Abstract Introduction Previous studies evaluating the association of LN yield and survival presented conflicting results and many may be influenced by confounding and stage migration. This study aimed to evaluate whether the quality indicator ‘retrieval of at least 15 lymph nodes (LNs)’ is associated with better long-term survival and more accurate pathological staging in patients with esophageal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and resection. Methods Data of esophageal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery between 2011-2016 was retrieved from the Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit. Patients with <15 LNs and ≥15 LNs were compared after propensity score matching based on patient and tumor characteristics. The primary endpoint was 3-year survival. To evaluate the effect of LN yield on the accuracy of pathological staging, pathological N-stage was evaluated and 3-year survival was analyzed in a subgroup of patients node-negative disease. Results In 2260 of 3281 patients (67%) ≥15 LNs were retrieved. In total, 992 patients with ≥15 LNs were matched to 992 patients with <15 LNs. The 3-year survival did not differ between the two groups (57% versus 54%, p=0.28). pN+ was scored in 41% of patients with ≥15 LNs versus 35% of patients with <15 LNs. For node-negative patients, the 3-year survival was significantly better for patients with ≥15 LNs (69% versus 61%, p=0.01). Conclusions In this propensity score matched cohort, 3-year survival was comparable for patients with ≥15 LNs, although increasing nodal yield was associated with more accurate staging. In node-negative patients, 3-year survival was higher for patients with ≥15 LNs.

The Relationship

Body composition analysis is relevant to characterize the nutritional requirements and finishing phase of fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ichthyometric (weight, total and standard length, density and yields), bromatological (fat, protein, ash and water content) and bioelectrical-impedance-analysis (BIA) (resistance, reactance, phase angle and composition indexes) variables in the hybrid tambatinga (Colossoma macropomum × Piaractus brachypomus). In a non-fertilized vivarium, 520 juveniles were housed and fed commercial rations. Then, 136 days after hatching (DAH), 15 fish with an average weight of 37.69 g and average total length of 12.96 cm were randomly chosen, anesthetized (eugenol) and subjected to the first of fourteen fortnightly assessments (BIA and biometry). After euthanasia, the following parts were weighed: whole carcass with the head, fillet, and skin (WC); fillet with skin (FS); and the remainder of the carcass with the head (CH). Together, FS and CH were ground and homogenized for the bromatological analyses. Estimates of the body composition and yields of tambatinga, with models including ichthyometric and BIA variables, showed correlation coefficients ranging from 0.81 (for the FS yield) to 1,00 (for the total ash). Similarly, models that included only BIA variables had correlation coefficients ranging from 0.81 (FS and CH yields) to 0.98 (for the total ash). Therefore, in tambatinga, the BIA technique allows the estimation of the yield of the fillet with skin and the body composition (water content, fat, ash, and protein). The best models combine ichthyometric and BIA variables.

Abstract Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is one of the most common complications of esophagectomy, which may extend the inpatient hospital stay. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been increasingly used in clinical practice; however, its POAF risk and short-term mortality remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the POAF risk and in-hospital mortality rate between patients receiving MIE and open esophagectomy (OE). Methods Esophageal cancer patients who underwent MIE or OE from a retrospective cohort study were evaluated. A multivariate logistic regression model was built to assess the associations between esophagectomy (MIE vs. OE) and various outcomes (POAF, in-hospital mortality). Covariates included age, sex, body mass index, neoadjuvant therapy, tumor stage, surgery incision type, comorbidities, cardia conditions, peri-operative medication, and complications. Results Of the 484 patients with esophageal cancer, 63 received MIE. A total of 53 patients developed POAF. Compared to patients receiving OE, MIE patients had 81% reduced odds of POAF (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.185, 95% CI 0.039–0.887, P = 0.035). No statistically significant association was found for in-hospital mortality (aOR 0.709, 95% CI 0.114–4.409, P = 0.712). Conclusions MIE is associated with a lower risk of POAF, compared to traditional surgery. No significant short-term survival benefit was found for MIE.
