171 Background: Esophagectomy is a major surgery associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There is growing evidence in literature that the minimally invasive approach in esophagectomy (MIE) may decrease morbidity. The aim of this study was the comparative analysis of the outcomes between MIE and open esophagectomy (OE) for esophageal cancer. Methods: Analysis (case-control study) of a prospective database with esophageal cancer cases submitted to curative intent surgery, between May 2006 and October 2014, in an Upper GI Surgery Unit. For this analysis, cases of non-resectional surgery were excluded. Results: From the initial population (n = 79), 65 cases (Group A: 24 MIE - 13 totally MIE and 11 hybrid MIE; Group B: 41 OE, including 5 cases of conversion from MIE) were included. Both groups were matched for gender, age, comorbidities, BMI, tumor location and histology, staging (cT and cN), neoadjuvant therapy and type of surgery. The presence of postoperative morbidity was 37,5% in MIE vs 61% in OE (p = 0,058), with a rate of respiratory complications of 16,7% and 22%, respectively (p = ns). Statistically significant differences were seen in Clavien classification of postoperative morbidity (p = 0,018) and in postoperative mortality (MIE 0% vs OE 22%, p = 0,021). Conclusions: The results of this case-control study provide further evidence for the feasibility and possible improvements in the postoperative morbidity and mortality of MIE, when performed in differentiated centers.

Abstract Background Previous studies have shown the association between Campylobacter species infection and that environmental factors, poor oral hygiene in particular, are linked to an increased risk of esophageal cancer (EC). However, no study has reported on these factors in Thailand. Thus, this study’s objective was to evaluate the impact of the relationship between Campylobacter infection and environmental factors on EC incidence in the population of Thailand. Methods Data from a case–control study were collected from 105 newly diagnosed EC cases and 105 controls recruited from 2007 to 2017. Infection with Campylobacter spp. was detected in the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue of EC taken from gastroesophageal biopsy specimens obtained from the participants, and evaluated using TaqMan® real-time PCR. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and perform data analysis. Results Smoking, alcohol use, a family history of cancer, history of gastroesophageal reflux disease, poor oral hygiene and Campylobacter spp. infection were shown to be significant risk factors for EC (p  <  0.05). The combination of poor oral hygiene and infection with Campylobacter spp. constituted significant risk for EC (p  <  0.001). In addition, the risk of EC in subjects co-infected with C. rectus and C. concisus that practiced poor oral hygiene was even higher and was significant (ORadj  =  4.7; 95% CI 2.41–9.98; p  =  0.003). Conclusions In Thailand, the major risk factors for EC are smoking status, alcohol drinking, family history of cancer, GERD, poor oral hygiene and Campylobacter spp. infection. This study found Campylobacter spp. prevalence to be associated with EC and appears to be enhanced by poor oral hygiene, suggesting that a combination of poor oral hygiene and Campylobacter species infection may together act as an important etiological risk factor for EC.

Despite there already being many studies on robotic surgery as a minimally invasive approach for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, the use of this technique for stage III disease is still poorly described. These are the preliminary results of our prospective study on the safety and effectiveness of robotic approaches in patients with locally advanced NSCLC in terms of postoperative complications and oncological outcomes. Since 2016, we prospectively investigated 19 consecutive patients with NSCLC stage IIIA-pN2 (diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA) who underwent lobectomy and radical lymph node dissection with robotic approaches after induction treatment. Furthermore, we matched a case-control study with 46 patients treated with open surgery during the same period of time, with similar age, comorbidities, clinical stage and tumor size. The individual matched population was composed of 16 robot-assisted thoracic surgeries and 16 patients who underwent open surgery. The median time range of resection was inferior in the open group compared to robotic lobectomy (243 vs. 161 min; p < 0.001). Lymph node resection and positivity were not significantly different (p = 0.96 and p = 0.57, respectively). Moreover, no difference was observed for PFS (p = 0.16) or OS (p = 0.41). In conclusion, we demonstrated that the early outcomes and oncological results of N2-patients after robotic lobectomy were similar to those who had open surgery. Considering the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, robot-assisted lobectomy appears to be a safe approach to patients with locally advanced diseases.
