496 Background: SORCE is a randomised double blind trial of sorafenib, given for one or three years, versus placebo for patients at moderate or high risk of disease recurrence after surgical excision of primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods: Between July 2007 and April 2013, 1,711 patients were recruited from the UK (78%), Australia, France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands and Spain. We describe the presenting characteristics, staging and surgical details of the randomised population. The surgical approach was at the surgeon’s discretion. Results: Baseline information is available for 1,681 patients (98%). Median age was 59 years (range 19 to 86): 1,195 (71%) were male. Histology was conventional/clear cell in 86%. T category was pT1a (<1%), pT1b (11%), pT2 (23%), pT3a-4 (65%). 47% were at high risk of recurrence with Leibovich scores of ≥6. Surgical data are available for 1,528 patients (89%). Total (radical) nephrectomy was performed for 97% of patients with 44% having laparoscopic surgery, of which 60% had a transperitoneal approach and 10% required conversion to open surgery. Some form of lymph node dissection was performed in 25% of patients (33% of open procedures and 15% of lap. procedures). The ipsi-lateral adrenal was removed in 47% and 11% had simultaneous resection of other structures/organs. Excision of venous extension was required in 19%. Laparoscopic procedures were performed for 58% of patients with maximum tumour diameter (MTD) <10cm and 17% of those with MTD ≥ 10 cm. Intra-operative complications were reported in 6% and post-operative complications reported in 12%. Hospital stay was median (IQR) 4 days (3-5) for patients having laparoscopic procedures and 7 days (5-8) for open surgery. Hospital stay was median (IQR) 8 days (6-11) for those having post-operative complications compared to 5 days (4-7) for uncomplicated recovery. Conclusions: These data reveal the varied surgical approaches to excision of primary RCC and will inform future adjuvant trials. The use of lymph node dissection appears arbitrary and evidence of benefit from randomised controlled trials is required. Analysis of the effect of sorafenib on disease free survival is likely to be performed in 2016. Clinical trial information: ISRCTN38934710.

Abstract   Minimally invasive esophagectomy is increasingly performed for esophageal squamous carcinoma, with advantages of improved perioperative outcomes in comparison with open esophagectomy. Lymph node dissection is one of most important prognostic factors, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It is still unknown whether MIE can meet the criteria of lymph node dissection in the mediastinum, especially in T1 and T2 esophageal cancer. Here, we compared the lymph node dissection between MIE and open surgery. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological data from 147 patients who underwent open surgery and MIE for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from December 2016 to January 2020. The clinicopathological data including age, gender, number of lymph node resected were analyzed. Results 68 patients underwent MIE and 79 patients underwent open surgery. The number of harvested lymph node didn’t differ between the open surgery group and MIE group (26 ± 11.9 vs 26 ± 13.4, respectively, p = 0.128). However, the number of resected lymph node in the low para-esophageal region was significantly higher in open surgery group (4.1 ± 3.9 vs 2.8 ± 2.6, respectively, p = 0.019). The number of resected lymph node in the upper mediastinal region was significantly higher in the MIE group in T1 and T2 patients (4.7 ± 3.8 vs 2.7 ± 2.9, respectively, p = 0.014). the difference was also noticed in the para-recurrent laryngeal lymph node regions (3.6 ± 2.9 vs 2.0 ± 2.3, respectively, p = 0.020). Conclusion For stages T1 and T2 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the lymph node dissection by MIE was comparable to that by open surgery. However, the number of harvested lymph node in the upper mediastinal region was better in the MIE group, which may indicate a better outcome. There was no difference in the postoperative complications, hospital stay and overall survival rate.

Abstract Background We aimed to establish an external validation of the Briganti 2019 nomogram in a Japanese cohort to preoperatively evaluate the probability of lymph node invasion in patients with high-risk, clinically localized prostate cancer. Methods The cohort consisted of 278 patients with prostate cancer diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging-targeted biopsy who underwent radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection from 2012 to 2020. Patients were rated using the Briganti 2019 nomogram, which evaluates the probability of lymph node invasion. We used the area under curve of the receiver operating characteristic analysis to quantify the accuracy of the nomogram. Results Nineteen (6.8%) patients had lymph node invasion. The median number of lymph nodes removed was 18. The area under the curve for the Briganti 2019 was 0.71. When the cutoff was set at 7%, 84 (30.2%) patients with extended pelvic lymph node dissection could be omitted, and only 1 (1.2%) patient with lymph node invasion would be missed. Sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive values at the 7% cutoff were 94.7, 32.0, and 98.8%, respectively. Conclusion This external validation showed that the Briganti 2019 nomogram was accurate, although there may still be scope for individual adjustments.

238 Background: Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most effective method for detecting lymph node metastases in patients with prostate cancer. The association between PLND during RP and morbidity, especially thromboembolic adverse events (AEs), remains unclear. We assessed the effect of PLND on 30−day postoperative AEs in patients undergoing RP using the American College of Surgeons’ National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (NSQIP). Methods: A total of 21,895 men undergoing RP between 2006 and 2013 were classified into two groups according to surgical approach (MIS−RP vs. ORP) and whether PLND was performed. Multivariate logistic regression adjusting for approach and demographic features was performed to assess the impact of PLND for predicting two primary endpoints (overall complications and major complications defined as Clavien−Dindo ≥ 3) and for 17 types of complications. P−values were adjusted to maintain an experiment−wise p < 0.05. Results: MIS−RP and ORP was performed in 17,354 (79.3%) and 4,541 (20.7%) patients, respectively. PLND was performed in 7,579 (43.7%) and 3,597 (79.2%) patients in the MIS−RP and ORP groups, respectively. The overall postoperative complication rate was 8.7% (5.5% for MIS−RP and 21.0% for ORP). PLND was not associated with a higher risk of DVT (OR 0.99; p= 0.98) or PE (OR 1.02; p= 0.91). However, PLND was associated with a higher risk of superficial surgical site infection (OR 1.68; p = 0.013), organ space surgical site infection (OR 1.77; p = 0.02), and perioperative transfusion (OR 1.32; p = 0.002) regardless of surgical approach. PLND was not associated with overall or major AEs on multivariable analysis. ORP was associated with a significantly higher risk of overall (OR 4.64, p < 0.0001) and major (OR 1.6, p = 0.0004) AEs compared to MIS−RP. Conclusions: PLND during RP is associated with a significantly increased risk of certain types of AEs within the 30−day post−operative period. However, there appears to be no significant association between PLND and thromboembolic AEs.

e543 Background: The optimal treatment for high-risk prostate cancer (Pca) remains to be established. We previously reported favorable biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS) in high-risk Pca patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy comprising a luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist plus low-dose estramustine phosphate (EMP) (LHRH+EMP) followed by radical prostatectomy (RP). The aim of this study was to assess whether neoadjuvant LHRH+EMP confers an oncological benefit for high-risk Pca compared to extended lymph node dissection (e-PLND). Methods: The Michinoku Urological Cancer Study Group database contained the data of 2403 consecutive Pca patients treated with RP at 4 institutes between March 2000 and December 2014. In the e-PLND group, we identified 238 high-risk Pca patients who underwent RP and e-PLND, with lymphatic tissue removal around the obturator and the external iliac regions, and hypogastric lymph node dissection. The neoadjuvant therapy with limited PLND (l-PLND) group included 280 high-risk Pca patients who underwent RP and removal of the obturator node chain between September 2005 and June 2014 at Hirosaki University. The neoadjuvant LHRH+EMP therapy included the administration of 280 mg/day of LHRH and EMP for 6 months before RP. The outcome measure was BRFS. Results: The 5-year BRFS rates for the neoadjuvant therapy with l-PLND group and e-PLND group were 84.9% and 54.7%, respectively ( P < 0.0001). The operative time was significantly longer in the e-PLND group compared to that of the neoadjuvant therapy with l-PLND group. Grade 3/4 surgery-related complications were not identified in both groups. Conclusions: Although the present study was not randomized, neoadjuvant LHRH+EMP therapy followed by RP might reduce the risk of biochemical recurrence.
