Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC), although considered an acceptable treatment option in the management of selected patients with colon and appendiceal peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), concerns about morbidity have limited its acceptance. Our objective was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of CRS/HIPEC for appendix and colon PC performed at our institution and to elucidate factors predictive of patient outcomes. All patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for appendix or colon PC from 2011 to 2017 were identified from our institution's prospective database. Postoperative outcomes, overall survival, and recurrence-free survival were assessed. Of 125 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC during the study period, 45 patients were eligible (appendix n = 26; colon n = 19). The median postoperative length of stay was nine days (5–28 days). Grade III/IV complications occurred in 4/45 (8.8%) patients. There were no postoperative mortalities. Median DFS and overall survival have not yet been reached, in both the colon and appendix groups. As of the study conclusion date, 37/45 (82.2%) patients were alive with or without disease. Lymph node status was predictive of recurrence in appendix PC. In our experience, CRS/HIPEC can be safely performed with acceptable short- and long-term outcomes. Lymph node status is an important predictor of recurrence.

The Impact

Background. Although mortality and morbidity of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) have improved significantly over the past years, the impact of age for patients undergoing PD is still debated. This study is aimed at analyzing short- and long-term outcomes of PD in elderly patients. Methods. 124 consecutive patients who have undergone PD for pancreas neoplasms in our center between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: group I (<75 years) and group II (≥75 years). Demographic features and intraoperative and clinical-pathological data were collected. Primary endpoints were perioperative morbidity and mortality; complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Score. Secondary endpoints included feasibility of adjuvant treatment and overall survival rates. Results. A total of 106 patients were included in this study. There were 73 (68.9%) patients in group I and 33 (31.1%) in group II. Perioperative deceases were 4 (3.6%), and postoperative pancreatic fistulas were 34 (32.1%). Significant difference between two groups was demonstrated for the ASA Score (p=0.004), Karnofsky Score (p=0.025), preoperative jaundice (p=0.004), and pulmonary complications (p=0.034). No significance was shown for diabetes, radicality of resection, stage of disease, operative time, length of stay, postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo Score, postoperative mortality, pancreatic fistula, and reoperation rates. 69.9% of the patients in group I underwent adjuvant treatment vs. 39.4% of the older ones (p=0.012). Mean overall survival was 28.5 months in group I vs. 22 months in group II (p=0.909). Conclusion. PD can be performed safely in elderly patients. Advanced age should not be an absolute contraindication for PD, even if greater frailty should be considered. The outcome of elderly patients who have undergone PD is similar to that of younger patients, even though adjuvant treatment administration is significantly lower, demonstrating that surgery remains the main therapeutic option.

Background: Research into long-term cause-specific mortality of women diagnosed with breast cancer is important because it allows for the splitting of the population into patients who eventually die from breast cancer and from other causes. The adoption of this approach helps to identify patients with an elevated risk of eventual death from breast cancer. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to examine the associations between both sociodemographic and clinicopathologic characteristics and the underlying risks of death from breast cancer and from other causes for women diagnosed with breast cancer. A second aim was to propose a predictive biomarker of cause-specific mortality in terms of treatment and several important characteristics of a patient. Methods: A cohort of 16 511 female patients diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990 was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registries and followed for 20 years. A mixture model for the regression analysis of competing risks was used to identify factors and confounders that affected either the eventual cause-specific mortality or conditional cause-specific hazard rates, or both. Missing data were handled with multiple imputation. Results: Curvilinear relationships of age at diagnosis along with race, marital status, breast cancer type, tumor size, estrogen receptor status, extension, lymph node status, type of surgery, and radiotherapy status were significant risk factors for the cause-specific mortality, with extension and lymph node status appearing to be confounded with the effects of both type of surgery and radiotherapy status. The score obtained from combining a set of predictors showed to be an accurate predictive biomarker. Conclusions: In cause-specific mortality of women diagnosed breast cancer, prognosis appears to depend on both sociodemographic and clinicopathologic factors. The predictive biomarker proposed in this study may help identifying the level of seriousness of the disease earlier than traditional methods, potentially guiding future allocation of resources for better patient care and management strategies.

Aim: As more and more centers has published their treatment results of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), the data from China is missing. Myxoma Department of Aerospace Hospital is the biggest center treating PMP in China. The purpose of this study is to report the early and long-term outcomes for PMP from this single center.Methods: 801 appendix-derived PMP out of 1008 consecutive patients treated in Myxoma Department of Aerospace Hospital between 2008 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) was achieved in 240 (30%) patients with median PCI of 14(1~39), and the rest had maximal tumor debulking (MTD), HIPEC was implemented in 96.3% of CCRS and 78.6% of MTD. The major morbidity (grade III/IV) was 11.4% and the 30-day operative mortality is 0.7%. The 5- and 10-year OS of CCRS was 76.9% and 64.1%, which is significantly higher than MTD (5-, 10-year OS as 36.1%, 27.1%; p<0.001). On the univariate analysis, all prognostic factors (gender, PSS, interval time, prior chemotherapy, prior HIPEC, Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI), completeness of cytoreduction (CC), HIPEC, pathology, present of serous ascites) were found to be associated with overall survival except for age. On multivariate analysis, only PCI>20, MTD, high pathologic grade and without HIPEC were independent factors predicting poorer prognosis.Conclusions: CCRS +HIPEC can benefit PMP well with controllable risks. MTD+HIPEC may benefit PMP as well when CCRS cannot be achieved after fully asscessment by an experienced peritoneal maglignacy center, but the surgery should be performed as limited as possible.
