BackgroundScreening significantly reduces mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). Screen detected (SD) tumors associate with better prognosis, even at later stage, compared to non-screen detected (NSD) tumors. We aimed to evaluate the association between diagnostic modality (SD vs. NSD) and short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for CRC.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective cohort study involved patients aged 50–69 years, residing in Veneto, Italy, who underwent curative-intent surgery for CRC between 2006 and 2018. The clinical multi-institutional dataset was linked with the screening dataset in order to define diagnostic modality (SD vs. NSD). Short- and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups.ResultsOf 1,360 patients included, 464 were SD (34.1%) and 896 NSD (65.9%). Patients with a SD CRC were more likely to have less comorbidities (p = 0.013), lower ASA score (p = 0.001), tumors located in the proximal colon (p = 0.0018) and earlier stage at diagnosis (p < 0.0001). NSD patients were found to have more aggressive disease at diagnosis, higher complication rate and higher readmission rate due to surgical complications (all p < 0.05). NSD patients had a significantly lower Disease Free Survival and Overall Survival (all p < 0.0001), even after adjusting by demographic, clinic-pathological, tumor, and treatment characteristics.ConclusionsSD tumors were associated with better long-term outcomes, even after multiple adjustments. Our results confirm the advantages for the target population to participate in the screening programs and comply with their therapeutic pathways.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to compare short- and long-term outcomes between 3-field lymphadenectomy (3-FL) and modern 2-field lymphadenectomy (2-FL) in patients with thoracic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS We reviewed clinical outcomes for 298 patients with thoracic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent 3-FL or modern 2-FL from March 2008 to December 2013 at a major cancer hospital in Guangzhou, southern China. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline differences, and 83 pairs of cases were selected. Postoperative complications, recurrence patterns and survival outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Compared with modern 2-FL, 3-FL led to higher overall operative morbidity rates [78.3% vs 61.4%, odds ratio (OR) 2.266, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.143–4.490; P = 0.019], with higher recurrent nerve palsy rates (47.0% vs 19.3%, OR 3.712, 95% CI 1.852–7.438; P < 0.0001), more respiratory failures (18.1% vs 6.0%, OR 3.441, 95% CI 1.189–9.963; P = 0.023) and longer postoperative hospital stays (23 vs 17 days, P = 0.002). The 5-year overall survival rate (58.5% vs 59.4%; P = 0.960) and the 5-year disease-free survival rate 50.1% vs 54.5%; P = 0.482) were comparable between the 2 groups. Multivariable analysis showed that additional cervical lymph node dissection was not associated with overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) 1.039, 95% CI 0.637–1.696; P = 0.878] and disease-free survival (HR 0.868, 95% CI 0.548–1.376; P = 0.547). The overall recurrence rate and cervical nodal recurrence rate were not significantly different between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Additional cervical lymphadenectomy did not lead to added survival benefit when compared with modern 2-FL in patients with thoracic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Recurrence was similar in patients undergoing 3-FL and modern 2-FL. 3-FL resulted in more postoperative complications.

Cancer Inflammation

Background and Purpose Several studies have proposed that the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), a new inflammation-related index, can be used for the prognosis assessment of various malignancies. However, few studies have reported its prognostic value in colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, this study explored the relationship between ALI and outcomes in CRC patients. Methods A total of 662 CRC patients who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2014 were included. The ALI was defined as: body mass index × serum albumin/neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. The X-tile program identified the optimal cut-off value of ALI. Logistic regression analyses determined factors affecting postoperative complications. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards analyses evaluated potential prognostic factors. Results The optimal cut-off of ALI in males and females were 31.6 and 24.4, respectively. Low-ALI was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications in CRC patients (odds ratio: 1.933, 95% CI [1.283–2.911], p = 0.002). Low-ALI groups also had significantly lower progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), when compared with the high-ALI group, especially at advance tumor stages. Using multivariate analysis, ALI was determined as an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio: 1.372, 95% CI [1.060–1.777], p = 0.016) and OS (hazard ratio: 1.453, 95% confidence interval: 1.113–1.898, p = 0.006). Conclusion ALI is an independent predictor of short and long-term outcomes in CRC patients, especially at advance tumor stages. The ALI-based nomograms can provide accurate and individualized prediction of postoperative complication risk and survival for CRC patients.

Abstract Background Recent studies from eastern centers have demonstrate an association between inflammatory response and long-term outcomes after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection. However, the prognostic impact of inflammatory markers in western patients, with distinct tumor and epidemiologic features, is still unknown. Aim To evaluate the prognostic impact of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), as well as their impact according to tumor size (< 5 cm, 5-10 cm, > 10 cm) in patients undergoing HCC resection with curative intent. Methods Optimal cut-off values for NLR, PLR, and MLR were determined by plotting the receiver operator curves. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. The Cox method was used to identify independent predictors of OS and DFS. Results In total, 161 consecutive adult patients were included. A high NLR (>1.715) was associated with worse OS (P=0.018). High NLR (>2.475; P=0.047) and PLR (>100.25; P=0.028) were predictors of short DFS. In HCC < 5 cm, MLR (>1.715) was associated with worse OS (P=0.047). In the multivariate analysis, high PLR was an independent predictor of worse DFS (hazard ratio [HR]=3.029; 1.499-6.121; P=0.002). Conclusions Inflammatory markers are useful tools to predict long-term outcomes after liver resection in western patients, high NLR was able to stratify subgroups of patients with short OS and DFS, an increased PLR was an independent predictor of short DFS, while high MLR was associated with short OS in patients with early HCC.
