Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease which requires a multimodal approach of management. The Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Changhai Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, established the gastric cancer multidisciplinary team (MDT) clinic based on the guidance of MDT culture in the year of 2017. Our MDT discussion followed a weekly consultation model, with the full-board discussion held once a month, and mini-board communication and discussion made once a week. The stages of MDT management are: pre-operative treatment plan and preparation, post-operative treatment plan, and follow-up treatment and evaluation. As of March 2021, a total of 296 patients visited the MDT clinic. Majority of the patients were gastric carcinoma patients (273/296, 92.2%). Here, we shared our gastric cancer MDT experiences and summarized our strengths and proposed directions for improvement.

4095^ Background: Perioperative chemotherapy (CT) has demonstrated as survival benefit in locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) in randomized trials. However, the overall cure rate is 30-40% and a significant number of patients are not able to receive the postoperative part of their CT regimen. In Europe, the trifunctional antibody catumaxomab is approved for the treatment of malignant ascites based on a pivotal trial which also included GC patients. A new multimodal approach combining neoadjuvant CT, followed by gastrectomy and intraperitoneal (i.p.) immunotherapy with catumaxomab was assessed in a single-arm multicenter phase II study. We here report 2-year follow-up data. Methods: GC pts (T2/T3/T4, N+/–, M0) received 3 cycles of neoadjuvant fluoropyrimidin/platinum-based CT followed by ’en-bloc’ R0-gastrectomy. Catumaxomab was administered i.p. as intraoperative bolus (10 µg) followed by 4 consecutive 3-hour infusions of 10-150 µg. Primary safety endpoint was the rate of predefined postoperative complications observed during 30 days after surgery. Key efficacy endpoints included disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: The original study data presented at the WCGC in 2011 (Schuhmacher et al.,Ann Oncol (2011) 22(suppl. 5)) showed that the primary endpoint was met and the described application regimen is safe. At time of surgery, 27.8% of patients were stage I, 27,8% of patients were stage II, 22,3% of patients were stage III and 14,8% of patients were stage IV as assessed according to pTNM measures. At 24 months 39/54 (safety analysis set) patients were still alife,14/54 were dead, (one patient lost to follow-up), 24/37 had no progression, only 13/37 patients relapsed (for 2 patients disease status was not recorded). At the 2 year cut off DFS was 56.4% (95% CI: 41–69%), OS was 75% (95% CI: 60–85%). Conclusions: Catumaxomab as part of a multimodal therapy in primarily resectable GC is a feasible option. The 2-year follow up efficacy results show promising data for DFS and OS in a cohort of locally advanced gastric cancer pts.

Progression Risk

Abstract Introduction Guidelines recommend endoscopy with biopsies to stratify patients with gastric premalignant lesions (GPL) to high and low progression risk. High-risk patients are recommended to undergo surveillance. We aimed to assess the accuracy of guideline recommendations to identify low-risk patients, who can safely be discharged from surveillance. Methods This study includes patients with GPL. Patients underwent at least two endoscopies with an interval of 1–6 years. Patients were defined ‘low risk’ if they fulfilled requirements for discharge, and ‘high risk’ if they fulfilled requirements for surveillance, according to European guidelines (MAPS-2012, updated MAPS-2019, BSG). Patients defined ‘low risk’ with progression of disease during follow-up (FU) were considered ‘misclassified’ as low risk. Results 334 patients (median age 60 years IQR11; 48.7% male) were included and followed for a median of 48 months. At baseline, 181/334 (54%) patients were defined low risk. Of these, 32.6% were ‘misclassified’, showing progression of disease during FU. If MAPS-2019 were followed, 169/334 (51%) patients were defined low risk, of which 32.5% were ‘misclassified’. If BSG were followed, 174/334 (51%) patients were defined low risk, of which 32.2% were ‘misclassified’. Seven patients developed gastric cancer (GC) or dysplasia, four patients were ‘misclassified’ based on MAPS-2012 and three on MAPS-2019 and BSG. By performing one additional endoscopy 72.9% (95% CI 62.4–83.3) of high-risk patients and all patients who developed GC or dysplasia were identified. Conclusion One-third of patients that would have been discharged from GC surveillance, appeared to be ‘misclassified’ as low risk. One additional endoscopy will reduce this risk by 70%.

Background: Owing to the many unique disease characteristics of Parkinson disease (PD)—namely resting tremors, muscular rigidity, and poor bone quality—we hypothesized that this patient population would have inferior outcomes with surgical management of acute distal radius fractures (DRFs) compared with the literature available on the general population. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study performed at a single, level 1, academic center from 2001 to 2020 capturing all adult patients with an isolated, acute, and closed DRF that ultimately underwent operative treatment. International Classification of Diseases 10 codes were used to identify 30 patients for manual chart review. Several patient and fracture characteristics were accounted for and complications, reoperations, and failures of surgical intervention were recorded. Results: There was a total of 7/30 failures (23%), 6/30 reoperations (20%), and 12 complications in 9/30 wrists (complication rate, 30%) at a mean latest follow-up of 11 months (1.2-158 months). Of the 7 failures, 5 were due to loss of reduction, and 2 of them were deep infections with mean time to failure of 8.3 weeks (range, 11 days-5.2 months). Conclusions: This study found a high rate of complications, reoperations, and early failure despite a short follow-up period and a small cohort of patients with PD treated surgically for a DRF. We recommend locked plating if suitable for the fracture type and early involvement of a multidisciplinary team to assist with medical optimization of PD to increase chances of a successful outcome.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chronicity on the size of the ostium after external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) with intubation. Methods: Design: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent external DCR with intubation over 10 years from January 2003 at a tertiary hospital. All patients were recruited and examined with rigid nasal endoscope. Results: A total number of 66 (85 eyes) patients were included. The mean age at the time of evaluation was 53.1 years with gender distribution of 54 females (81.8 %). The mean duration ±SD between the date of surgery and the date of evaluation was 33.2 ± 33.6 (6–118 months). Our study showed an overall anatomical and functional success of 98.8% and 95.3%, respectively. The mean size of the ostium (±SD) was 23.0 (±15.7) mm2 (ranging from 1 to 80.4 mm2). The size of the ostium was not a significant factor for failure ( p = 0.907). No statistically significant correlation was found between the long-term duration after surgery and the size of the ostium ( R: 0.025, p = 0.157). Conclusions: Nasal endoscopy after DCR is valuable in evaluating the ostium with no observed potential correlation between the long-term follow-up after surgery and the size of the ostium.
