BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the adequate extent of regional lymphadenectomy according to tumor location and the impact of number-based nodal classification on survival in patients with non-ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma (NADAC). METHODS: A total of 85 patients with NADAC who underwent surgery were enrolled. The frequency of metastasis was calculated for each node group in the respective tumor locations for 63 patients who underwent lymphadenectomy for pT2-pT4 tumor. RESULTS: The frequency of metastasis in the pancreaticoduodenal (nos. 13 and 17) and superior mesenteric artery (no. 14) nodes was high (16.7 %-52.3 %) regardless of tumor location. Metastasis in the perigastric (nos. 3 and 4d) and right celiac artery (no. 9) nodes was not uncommon (14.3 %-22.2 %) for tumors in the first portion. The frequency of metastasis in the pyloric (nos. 5 and 6) and the other peripancreaticoduodenal (nos. 8 and 12) nodes varied depending on tumor location but could not be ignored for staging. When these nodes were classified as regional nodes, the 5-year survival in patients with pN0, pN1 (1-2 positive nodes), and pN2 (≥3 positive nodes) were 82.9 %, 51.7 %, and 19.2 %, respectively (p < 0.001). pN classification independently predicted survival (pN1, p = 0.022; pN2, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Nos. 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 17 nodes in all advanced NADAC and nos. 3, 4d, and 9 nodes in advanced NADAC in the first portion should be considered as regional nodes for accurate staging. The number-based nodal classification allows good patients' prognostic stratification.

BACKGROUND: Ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) play opposing roles in cell death and survival, and maintain a dynamic balance called the sphingolipid rheostat. Glucosylceramide is a substrate to generate ceramide but its effect on breast cancer by oral administration was never tested. The purpose of this study was to reveal the anticancer activity of glucosylceramide and its potential as a new therapeutic agent in breast cancer. METHODS: E0771 cells were inoculated into the breast tissue of female C57BL/6NJcl mice. Glucosylceramide was administered orally to the mice for nine consecutive days. The concentrations of sphingolipid mediators including ceramide, glucosylceramide, and S1P in tumor tissues and serum were determined by mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Oral administration of glucosylceramide significantly suppressed E0771 tumor growth compared with the control group (P = 0.006). There were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of sphingolipid mediators including ceramide and S1P between the mice treated with glucosylceramide and control-treated mice. The ceramide concentration was significantly lower in tumor tissues (P = 0.026), and the S1P concentration was significantly higher than that in paired non-tumor tissues (P = 0.009). The S1P concentration in tumor tissues was significantly lower in mice treated with glucosylceramide than in control-treated mice (P = 0.001). The ceramide-to-S1P concentration ratio in tumor tissues was significantly higher in mice treated with glucosylceramide than in control-treated mice (P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS: Breast tumors could enhance their survival by increasing S1P conversion from ceramide. Oral administration of glucosylceramide suppressed tumor growth by affecting the ceramide/S1P balance. Oral administration of glucosylceramide is a promising basis for a new therapeutic approach.

BACKGROUND: The definition and classification of regional nodes are not standardized for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. This study aimed to clarify the rational extent of regional lymphadenectomy and to elucidate the impact of number-based regional nodal classification on survival of patients with this disease. METHODS: Data of 136 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent surgery were reviewed. The incidence of metastasis and the survival of patients with metastasis were calculated for each node group. RESULTS: The incidence of metastasis for the node groups in the hepatoduodenal ligament (denoted as no. 12) ranged from 3.7% to 25.4%, with 5-year disease-specific survival of 12.9% to 33.3% for patients with metastasis. The incidences of metastasis in the common hepatic artery (no. 8) and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal (no. 13a) node groups were 14.4% and 11.2%, respectively, with 5-year disease-specific survival rates of 16.7% and 20.0% for the patients with metastasis. When these node groups were defined as regional nodes, the 5-year disease-specific survival rates for the patients with pN0 (n = 80), pN1 (1-3 positive nodes, n = 38), and pN2 (≥ 4 positive nodes, n = 18) were 61.4%, 22.9%, and 17.6%, respectively (p < 0.001). The pN classification was independently associated with disease-specific survival (p < 0.001). When only the no. 12 node groups were regarded as regional nodes, pN classification failed to stratify the patients prognostically. CONCLUSIONS: No. 8 and no. 13a node groups should be considered regional nodes in addition to no. 12 node groups and should be dissected. The number-based regional nodal classification allows patients with this disease to be stratified prognostically.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to clarify potential candidates for anatomic resection (AR) among patients with pathological T1-T2 (pT1-T2) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine whether AR is effective for HCC with microscopic vascular invasion (MVI). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 288 patients with pT1a (n = 50), pT1b (n = 134) or pT2 (n = 104) HCC who underwent curative-intent resection between 1990 and 2010. Surgical outcomes were compared between patients who underwent AR (n = 189) and those who underwent nonanatomic resection (NAR; n = 99) according to pT category and MVI status. RESULTS: Patients who underwent AR were more likely to have good hepatic functional reserve and an aggressive primary tumor than those who underwent NAR. When patients were stratified according to pT category, AR had a more favorable impact on survival than NAR only in patients with pT2 HCC in univariate (5-year survival, 51.5% vs. 34.6%; p = 0.010) and multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 0.505; p = 0.014). However, AR had no impact on survival in patients with pT1a or pT1b HCC. In patients with MVI (n = 57), AR achieved better survival than NAR (5-year survival, 52.0% vs. 16.7%; p = 0.019) and was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio 0.335; p = 0.020). In patients without MVI (n = 231), there was no significant difference in survival between the two groups (p = 0.221). CONCLUSION: AR was identified as an independent factor in improved survival in patients with pT2 HCC or HCC with MVI.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the association between the preoperative Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, survival outcomes, and recurrence pattern in patients with resectable biliary tract cancer (BTC). METHODS: A total of 224 BTC patients (gallbladder, n = 69; intrahepatic bile ducts, n = 26; perihilar bile ducts, n = 72; distal bile duct, n = 57) who underwent surgery with curative intent were enrolled. The best cutoff point of the preoperative CONUT score in discriminating survival was determined using χ2 scores. The sites of recurrence were subclassified as locoregional or distant. RESULTS: Patients were subdivided into the CONUT-low (score ≤ 3, n = 156) and the CONUT-high (score > 3; n = 68) groups. In-hospital mortality occurred more frequently in the CONUT-high group than in the CONUT-low group (7.4% vs. 1.3%; p = 0.028). A high preoperative CONUT score was independently associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 1.906, p = 0.001), worse disease-specific survival (HR 1.840, p = 0.006), and worse recurrence-free survival (HR 1.680, p = 0.005). Recurrence developed in 110 (49.1%) patients. A high preoperative CONUT score was independently associated with a higher risk of distant recurrence (HR 2.245, p = 0.001), but not locoregional recurrence. The incidences of distant recurrence at 5 years were 55.4% and 34.2% in the CONUT-high and CONUT-low groups, respectively (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The preoperative CONUT score independently predicts survival outcomes and may serve as a surrogate marker of aggressive systemic disease recurrence in patients with resectable BTC.

We report a case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)with lymph node metastases in which long-term survival was achieved after surgery followed by chemotherapy. A 69-year-old man underwent left hepatectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and lymph node dissection for ICC located mainly in segment 4 of the liver with enlarged lymph nodes in the hepatoduodenal ligament. The histopathologically confirmed diagnosis was ICC(T2N1M0, Stage ⅣA)with 3 positive lymph nodes(No. 12a1, No. 12p1, and No. 12p2). He received chemotherapy with gemcitabine(GEM)plus cisplatin(CDDP)for 9 months, followed by GEM monotherapy for 4 months, and then S-1 monotherapy was started. A right lung nodule was detected 12 months after the initiation of S-1 monotherapy. He received GEM plus S-1 therapy for 28 months, followed by S-1 monotherapy, leading to disappearance of the lung nodule. He remains alive and well without disease 78 months after surgery. Our experience in this case suggests that radical resection followed by chemotherapy may provide a survival benefit in selected patients who have ICC with nodal disease.

The patient was a 71-year-old man with a diagnosis of duodenal carcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography(CT) showed no distant metastasis, and he underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was not administered. A left supraclavicular lymph node recurrence was detected on CT 15 months after surgery. Capecitabine and oxaliplatin(CAPOX)therapy was administered and the metastatic lesion shrank. Positron emission tomography(PET)-CT showed no lesions at other sites and left cervical lymph node dissection was performed 5 months after the recurrence. Postoperative adjuvant therapy with S-1 was administered for 6 months. However, 2 years and 10 months after the first recurrence, CT showed recurrence in the left supraclavicular lymph node. CAPOX therapy was resumed, but due to an allergic reaction to oxaliplatin, the patient was treated with capecitabine alone. The recurrent lesion was gradually increased in size, and FOLFIRI therapy was introduced. One year and 5 months after secondary recurrence, PET-CT showed that the second recurrent lesion had grown but was confined to the left supraclavicular lymph node, so radiation therapy(60 Gy)to the left neck was performed. The disease was stable for about 10 months and chemotherapy could be discontinued. The lesion increased in size thereafter, and the patient died 7 years after initial surgery.

BACKGROUND: Although monofilament mesh-based repair is a safe and effective procedure for incisional hernia (IH) in organ transplant patients, there is no definite evidence of IH treatment for patients with graft rejection and enhanced immunosuppressive therapy. We report a successful case of large IH repair using an autologous thigh muscle fascia sheet in a kidney transplant patient. CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old man had IH from the incision of kidney transplantation, which was performed 6 years ago. He had a large right lower abdominal distension hanging down to the inguinal portion. A computed tomography scan revealed a large IH with a maximum abdominal defect diameter of 15 cm. The hernia sac contained the intestine, colon, and transplanted kidney, which had pulled out along with the retroperitoneum and protruded into the abdominal wall. He had chronic active acute antibody-mediated rejection, which required frequent steroid pulse therapy and additional or adjusted immunosuppressive drugs. After total circumferential exposure of the hernia sac and abdominal fascia, the abdominal wall defect was closed using a horizontal mattress suture. The sutured line was covered with a thigh muscle fascia sheet harvested from the patient's right femur and attached to the closed fascia. He was discharged on postoperative day 13 without any complications, and no IH recurrence was observed 10 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Hernia repair using autologous tissue could be a treatment option for post-transplant IH with a higher risk of infection.

BACKGROUND: As the number of long-term survivors after organ transplantation increases, malignancy has become a problem as a late complication. We herein report a case of endometrial cancer during the follow-up of pancreas transplantation after kidney transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old woman was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. The patient had developed type 1 diabetes at 8 years old and started insulin treatment, and at 29 years old, she started hemodialysis for diabetic nephropathy. At 31 years old, she received living donor kidney transplantation and withdrew from dialysis. Hypoglycemia unawareness began to occur frequently from around 36 years old, and at 48 years old, the patient underwent deceased donor pancreas transplantation after kidney transplantation and achieved insulin independence. At 49 years old, she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Surgical treatment (total abdominal hysterectomy with left salpingo-oophorectomy) was performed. The pathologic diagnosis was confirmed as stage 1A uterine endometrioid carcinoma grade 1. The postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged from our hospital on postoperative day 8. There has been no evidence of recurrence and/or metastasis of endometrial cancer for 16 months since the surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Carcinogenesis after pancreas transplantation may be a lethal late complication. It is important to carry out regular screening examinations with carcinogenesis in mind.

BACKGROUND: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been actively performed for patients with poor clearance of jaundice after the Kasai operation for biliary atresia (BA). The present study clarified the usefulness of LDLT for BA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2000 and 2020, 24 patients (late group) underwent radical surgery for BA in our institute. The overall survival rate, native liver survival rate, and proportion of LDLT in the late group were retrospectively compared with those of 47 patients treated before 1999 (early group). P values <.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The overall survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years were 57%, 54%, and 49%, respectively, in the early group and 100%, 100%, and 100% in the late group (P < .001). The native liver survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years were 57%, 52%, and 39%, respectively, in the early group and 57%, 49%, and 42% (P = .993) in the late group. In the early group, LDLT was performed in 7 of 47 patients (15%), and the overall survival rate after LDLT was 71%. In the late group, LDLT was performed in 11 of 24 patients (46%), and the overall survival rate after LDLT was 100%. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term outcomes after the Kasai operation for BA have improved in recent years. There were no marked differences in long-term native liver survival before and after 2000. LDLT was actively introduced for patients with poor clearance of jaundice after the Kasai operation, and the survival rate significantly improved.

A 72-year-old man had a chief complaint of anal pain and difficulty in defecation. He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma by biopsy from a tumor of the anal canal. A computed tomography scan revealed neither regional lymph node metastasis nor distant metastasis. Hence, he was diagnosed with cT3N0M0, cStage Ⅱa anal canal cancer. Preoperative capecitabine- based chemoradiotherapy(CRT)(50.4 Gy in 28 fractions of 1.8 Gy each)was implemented. Digital rectal examination and imaging evaluation 8 weeks after preoperative CRT revealed that the tumor had shrunk. Fifteen weeks after preoperative CRT, laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed. The pathological findings showed mucinous adenocarcinoma associated with anal fistula. At present, 12 months after the operation, no local recurrence and distant metastasis has been detected under follow-up evaluations.

The patient was a 64-year-old man with diagnosis of pancreatic head cancer. Initially, abdominal CT showed pancreatic head tumor with bile duct invasion and no distant metastases including para-aortic lymph nodes(PALN). Although, subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy(SSPPD)and PALN sampling was performed, intraoperative frozen section examination revealed PALN metastasis. He had chronic kidney disease and was unsuitable for standard chemotherapy, SSPPD and PALN dissection was performed instead of standard chemotherapy. Histopathological examination of the resected specimens revealed invasive ductal carcinoma in the pancreatic head region and 11 nodes out of the 17 dissected PALN. Adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was performed. 22 months after surgery, intraabdominal lymph nodes metastasis and lung metastasis was found. 24 months after surgery, palliative radiation therapy at a dose of 40 Gy was performed. Systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine alone was performed, but he was dead 67 months after the initial therapy.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to elucidate the impact of anatomic location of residual disease (RD) after initial cholecystectomy on survival following re-resection of incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC). METHODS: Patients with pT2 or pT3 gallbladder cancer (36 with IGBC and 171 with non-IGBC) who underwent resection were analyzed. Patients with IGBC were classified as follows according to the anatomic location of RD after initial cholecystectomy: no RD (group 1); RD in the gallbladder bed, stump of the cystic duct, and/or regional lymph nodes (group 2); and RD in the extrahepatic bile duct and/or distant sites (group 3). RESULTS: Timing of resection (IGBC vs. non-IGBC) did not affect survival in either multivariate or propensity score matching analysis. RD was found in 16 (44.4%) of the 36 patients with IGBC; R0 resection following re-resection was achieved in 32 patients (88.9%). Overall survival (OS) following re-resection was worse in group 3 (n = 7; 5-year OS, 14.3%) than in group 2 (n = 9; 5-year OS, 55.6%) (p = 0.035) or in group 1 (n = 20; 5-year OS, 88.7%) (p < 0.001). There was no survival difference between groups 1 and 2 (p = 0.256). Anatomic location of RD was independently associated with OS (group 2, HR 2.425, p = 0.223; group 3, HR 9.627, p = 0.024). CONCLUSION: The anatomic location of RD independently predicts survival following re-resection, which is effective for locoregional disease control in IGBC, similar to resection for non-IGBC. Not all patients with RD have poor survival following re-resection for IGBC.

PURPOSE: Outcomes following surgery for advanced gallbladder carcinoma remain unsatisfactory. This study aimed to determine the surgical outcome and effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy according to TNM stage in patients with gallbladder carcinoma. METHODS: A total of 200 patients undergoing surgery for gallbladder carcinoma were enrolled. Clinicopathological data were evaluated and surgical outcomes were compared between patients with and without adjuvant chemotherapy according to TNM stage. RESULTS: The 5-year overall survival (OS) after resection for patients with stage I (n = 27), IIA (n = 18), IIB (n = 28), IIIA (n = 25), IIIB (n = 43), IVA (n = 7), and IVB (n = 52) disease was 90.8%, 94.4%, 73.6%, 33.7%, 57.7%, 14.3%, and 11.8%, respectively (p < 0.001). R0 resection was performed in all patients with stage I or II disease, in 89.7% of those with stage III disease, and 69.5% of those with stage IV disease. For patients with stage III disease, adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with improved OS (5-year OS, 60.9% vs. 41.1%; p = 0.028) and was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 2.045; p = 0.039). For patients with stage IV disease, adjuvant chemotherapy appeared to affect OS (5-year OS, 25.1% vs. 5.3%; p = 0.041); R0 resection (hazard ratio, 1.882; p = 0.040) was the only independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSION: TNM stage clearly predicts survival after resection of gallbladder carcinoma. R0 resection with adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended for long-term survival in the multimodal management of patients with stage III or IV gallbladder carcinoma.

AIM: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramide are bioactive sphingolipids known to be important in regulating numerous processes involved in cancer progression. The aim of this study was to determine the absolute levels of sphingolipids in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) utilizing data obtained from surgical specimens. In addition, we explored the clinical significance of S1P in patients with HCC and the biological role of S1P in HCC cells. METHODS: Tumors and normal liver tissues were collected from 20 patients with HCC, and sphingolipids were measured by mass spectrometry. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort was utilized to evaluate gene expression of enzymes related to sphingolipid metabolism. Immunohistochemistry of phospho-sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1), an S1P-producing enzyme, was performed for 61 surgical specimens. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SphK1 knockout cells were used to examine HCC cell biology. RESULTS: S1P levels were substantially higher in HCC tissue compared with normal liver tissue. Levels of other sphingolipids upstream of S1P in the metabolic cascade, such as sphingomyelin, monohexosylceramide and ceramide, were also considerably higher in HCC tissue. Enzymes involved in generating S1P and its precursor, ceramide, were found in higher levels in HCC compared with normal liver tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis found that phospho-SphK1 expression was associated with tumor size. Finally, in vitro assays indicated that S1P is involved in the aggressiveness of HCC cells. CONCLUSIONS: Sphingolipid levels, including S1P and ceramide, were elevated in HCC compared with surrounding normal liver tissue. Our findings suggest S1P plays an important role in HCC tumor progression, and further examination is warranted.

AIM: The role of preoperative frailty assessment in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) disease remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between frailty and postoperative outcomes in patients with GI disease. METHODS: This study investigated 42 patients (aged ≥65 years) with GI disease who underwent abdominal surgery. The frailty status was analyzed using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. We also investigated postoperative outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 42 patients, seven (16.7%) were robust, 24 (57.1%) were prefrail and 11 (26.2%) were frail. Postoperative complications were observed in 45.5% and 63.6% of prefrail and frail patients, respectively, whereas no complications were found in robust patients (P = 0.026). The median hospital stay was 15, 19.5 and 27 days in robust, prefrail and frail patients, respectively (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Preoperative frailty status based on the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria is associated with postoperative complication incidence and hospital stay extension in patients with GI disease.

BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to evaluate how NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) affects survival after hepatectomy in patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 88 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM. Of the 88 patients, preoperative chemotherapy was administered to 30 patients. Immunohistochemistry of the resected specimens was conducted using monoclonal anti-NQO1 antibody. RESULTS: NQO1-positive expression in tumor cells of CRLM was associated with worse overall survival (p=0.026) and was an independent adverse prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio=5.296, p=0.007). Among 30 patients who received preoperative chemotherapy, patients with loss of NQO1 expression in non-neoplastic epithelial cells of the bile ducts (NQO1 polymorphism: n=19) showed significantly better response to preoperative chemotherapy for CRLM (p=0.004). CONCLUSION: NQO1-positive expression in tumor cells of CRLM may be an adverse prognostic factor after hepatectomy for CRLM.

BACKGROUND: The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging system provided a specific 'ypTNM' stage grouping for patients with esophageal cancer. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM stage grouping for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS: We enrolled 152 patients with ESCC who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (CF) therapy between June 2005 and December 2011. ypStage was evaluated according to the AJCC 7th and 8th editions. Predictive performance for disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) was compared between both editions. The prognostic significance of ypTNM stage grouping was evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Revision of the AJCC 7th edition to the 8th edition was associated with a change in ypStage in 96 patients (63.2%). The AJCC 8th edition revealed a better predictive performance than the 7th edition in terms of DSS (Akaike's information criterion [AIC] 499 vs. 513; Bayesian information criterion [BIC] 505 versus 519; concordance index [C-index] 0.725 versus 0.679) and OS (AIC 662 vs. 674; BIC 669 vs. 681; C-index 0.662 vs. 0.622). On univariate and multivariate analyses, ypStage in the 8th edition was an independent prognostic factor for both DSS and OS. CONCLUSIONS: ypTNM stage grouping in the AJCC 8th edition provided a better predictive performance for DSS and OS than that in the 7th edition. ypStage in the 8th edition was the most reliable prognostic factor for ESCC patients who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant CF therapy.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the impact of surgery on outcomes in patients with recurrent biliary tract cancer (BTC) and elucidate factors affecting survival after surgery for this disease. METHODS: A single-center study was undertaken in 178 patients with recurrent BTC, of whom 24 underwent surgery for recurrence, 85 received chemotherapy, and 69 received best supportive care. Then, we carried out a multicenter study in 52 patients undergoing surgery for recurrent BTC (gallbladder cancer, 39%; distal cholangiocarcinoma, 27%; perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, 21%; intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, 13%). RESULTS: In the single-center study, 3-year survival after recurrence was 53% in patients who underwent surgery, 4% in those who received chemotherapy, and 0% in those who received best supportive care (p < 0.001). Surgery was an independently prognostic factor (p < 0.001). In the multicenter series, the respective 3-year and 5-year survival after surgery for recurrence was 50% and 29% in the 52 patients. Initial site of recurrence was the only independent prognostic factor (p = 0.019). Five-year survival after surgery for recurrence in patients with single distant, multifocal distant, and locoregional recurrence was 51%, 0%, and 0%, respectively (p = 0.002). Sites of single distant recurrence included the liver (n = 13, 54%), distant lymph nodes (all from gallbladder cancer, n = 7, 29%), lung (n = 2, 9%), peritoneum (n = 1, 4%), and abdominal wall (n = 1, 4%). CONCLUSION: Surgery may be an effective option for patients with less aggressive tumor biology characterized by single distant recurrence in recurrent BTC.

A 73-year-old man presented with anemia, and gastroscopy showed a nonpigmented tumor in the esophagogastric junction. The result of the tumor biopsy initially suspected poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. However, additional immunohistochemical examination revealed malignant melanoma. The final diagnosis was amelanotic malignant melanoma of the esophagogastric junction with adrenal and spinal metastasis. Although immunotherapy was performed, the patient died 132 days after diagnosis.

The patient was a 63-year-old woman with diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Abdominal CT showed pancreatic head tumor and paraaortic lymph node metastasis. We performed chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. After 5 courses of chemotherapy, the tumor reduced in size. Pancreaticoduodenectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was performed. Fourteen months after surgery, umbilical metastasis(Sister Mary Joseph's nodule: SMJN)was found in the umbilicus near the abdominal incisional hernia. There was no evidence of metastasis except in the umbilicus, we performed the umbilical tumor resection and abdominal incisional hernia repair. Pathological diagnosis was pancreatic cancer metastasis. Although following chemotherapy, multiple skin metastases was found in the lower abdomen 3 months after umbilical resection. We performed skin metastases resection to relieve pain and symptoms of bleeding. But she died 29 months after the initial therapy(7 months after umbilical resection).

A 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment for rectal cancer. Digital rectal examination and colonoscopy revealed a 4 cm tumor located at the anterior rectal wall 5 cm away from the anal verge, and pathological examination confirmed that the tumor was adenocarcinoma. A computed tomography scan detected neither regional lymph node metastasis nor distant metastasis. Hence, he was diagnosed with cT3N0M0, cStage Ⅱa rectal cancer. The preoperative general examination revealed bradyarrhythmia and severe emphysema, and he was considered to be high risk for general anesthesia. After placement of a pacemaker, preoperative capecitabine-based chemoradiotherapy(CRT)(50.4 Gy in 28 fractions of 1.8 Gy each)was implemented. The digital rectal examination and imaging evaluation 4 weeks after preoperative CRT revealed that the tumor disappeared, and pathological examination showed no malignant findings. Considering the risks of general anesthesia, the"watch and wait therapy"approach was adopted with sufficient informed consent. At present, 15 months after preoperative CRT, no evidence of regrowth or distant metastasis has been detected under rigorous follow- up evaluations.

A 64-year-old man with liver dysfunction was given a diagnosis of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma(Bismuth type Ⅳ). The tumor was predominantly right-sided and invaded to the bifurcation of the right and left portal veins. After confirming sufficient liver functional reserve and future liver remnant, the patient underwent extended right hepatectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and portal vein resection and reconstruction. Intraoperative examination of frozen sections revealed the presence of residual invasive carcinoma on both the hepatic and duodenal sides of the ductal resection margins. However, we did not perform pancreaticoduodenectomy or additional resection of the margin-positive proximal bile duct considering the curability and invasiveness of these procedures. He received postoperative chemotherapy with biweekly gemcitabine plus cisplatin for 1 year, followed by gemcitabine monotherapy for 1 year, and S-1 monotherapy has been performed since then. He remains alive and well with no evidence of disease 63 months after surgery.

BACKGROUND: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), a mesenchymal fibroblastic tumor with a hypervascular nature, rarely develops in the pelvis. Resection of a giant SFT occupying the pelvic cavity poses an increased risk of developing massive hemorrhage during resection, although surgical resection is the most effective treatment method for this tumor to achieve a potential cure. SFT rarely develops with Doege-Potter syndrome, which is known as a paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) secondary to SFT that secretes insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II). We present a case of a giant pelvic SFT with Doege-Potter syndrome, which was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) followed by surgical resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-year-old woman presented with a disorder of consciousness due to refractory hypoglycemia. Images of the pelvis showed a giant and heterogeneously hypervascular mass displacing and compressing the rectum. Endocrinological evaluation revealed low serum levels of insulin and C-peptide consistent with NICTH. Angiography identified both the inferior mesenteric artery and the bilateral internal iliac artery as the main feeders of the tumor. To avoid intraoperative massive bleeding, super-selective TAE was performed for the tumor 2 days prior to surgery. Hypoglycemia disappeared after TAE. The tumor was resected completely, with no massive hemorrhage during resection. Histologically, it was diagnosed as IGF-II-secreting SFT. Partial necrosis of the rectum in the specimen was observed due to TAE. The patient was followed up for 2 years and no evidence of disease has been reported. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative angiography followed by TAE is an exceedingly helpful method to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage when planning to resect SFT occupying the pelvic cavity. Complications related to ischemia should be kept in mind after TAE, which needs to be planned within 1 or 2 days before surgery. TAE for tumors may be an option in addition to medical and surgical treatment for persistent hypoglycemia in Doege-Potter syndrome.

BACKGROUND: The role of surgery in the management of primary cystic duct carcinoma (CDC) remains unclear especially in advanced disease. This study aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for primary CDC. METHODS: From a multi-institutional database, we identified 41 patients who underwent surgery for primary CDC, defined as a part of gallbladder carcinoma with the tumor centre located in the cystic duct. RESULTS: Of the 41 patients, 31 (75.6%) underwent preoperative biliary drainage for jaundice. Twenty-eight (68.3%) patients underwent extensive resection including major hepatectomy (n = 21), pancreaticoduodenectomy (n = 4), or both procedures (n = 3). Thirty-four (82.9%) patients had ≥ pT3 tumor, while 31 (75.6%) patients had involvement of contiguous organs/structures. Nodal and distant metastasis was found in 26 (63.4%) and 7 (17.1%) patients, respectively. Most patients (90.2%) had perineural invasion. Median overall survival was 23.7 months in all 41 patients. Factors independently associated with both overall and disease-specific survival were pN (P = 0.003 and P = 0.007, respectively) and pM (P = 0.003 and P = 0.013, respectively) classification. Median survival was 75.3, 17.7, and 5.2 months for patients with pN0M0 (n = 14), pN1/2pM0 or pN0pM1 (n = 21), and pN1/2pM1 (n = 6) disease, respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Primary CDC is characterized by locally advanced disease with aggressive histopathological characteristics at surgery, leading to extensive resection during treatment. Surgery provides potential benefits for patients with pN0pM0 disease, whereas pN1/2 and/or pM1 status appear to have strong adverse effects on survival.

BACKGROUND: There is no comprehensive agreement concerning the overall performance of radical resection for T1b gallbladder cancer (GBC). This research focused on addressing whether T1b GBC may spread loco-regionally and whether radical resection is necessary. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 1032 patients with GBC who underwent surgical resection at our centre and its affiliated institutions between January 1982 and December 2018. A total of 47 patients with T1b GBC, 29 (62%) of whom underwent simple cholecystectomy and 18 (38%) of whom underwent radical resection with regional lymph node dissection, were enrolled in the study. RESULTS: GBC was diagnosed pre-operatively in 16 patients (34%), whereas 31 patients (66%) had incidental GBC. There was no blood venous or perineural invasion in any patient on histology evaluation, except for lymphatic vessel invasion in a single patient. There were no metastases in any analysed lymph nodes. The open surgical approach was more prevalent among the 18 patients who underwent radical resection (open in all 18 patients) than among the 29 patients who underwent simple cholecystectomy (open in 21; laparoscopic in 8) (P = 0.017). The cumulative 10- and 20-year overall survival rates were 65 and 25%, respectively. The outcome following simple cholecystectomy (10-year overall survival rate of 66%) was akin to that following radical resection (64%, P = 0.618). The cumulative 10- and 20-year disease-specific survival rates were 93 and 93%, respectively. The outcome following simple cholecystectomy (10-year disease-specific survival rate of 100%) was equivalent to that following radical resection (that of 86%, P = 0.151). While age (> 70 years, hazard ratio 5.285, P = 0.003) and gender (female, hazard ratio 0.272, P = 0.007) had a strong effect on patient overall survival, surgical procedure (simple cholecystectomy vs. radical resection) and surgical approach (open vs. laparoscopic) did not. CONCLUSIONS: Most T1b GBCs represent local disease. As pre-operative diagnosis, including tumour penetration of T1b GBC, is difficult, the decision of radical resection is justified. Additional radical resection is not required following simple cholecystectomy provided that the penetration depth is restricted towards the muscular layer and that surgical margins are uninvolved.

A 68-year-old male patient received a living donor kidney transplantation 8 years earlier for end-stage kidney disease secondary to IgA nephropathy. His post-transplantation follow-up had been routinely performed with laboratory examinations, ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT). His kidney graft function had been excellent and stable, as shown by a baseline serum creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL. At referral, regular follow-up ultrasound and CT showed allograft hydroureteronephrosis. He did not have any complaints, but his physical examination revealed right inguinal bulging that was 3.5 × 3.5 cm. Abdominal enhanced CT revealed transplant allograft hydroureteronephrosis due to ipsilateral herniation of ureteroneocystostomy into the right inguinal canal. His serum creatinine level was slightly elevated (1.1 mg/dL). Then, he underwent an open right inguinal hernia repair. Paraperitoneal allograft hydroureteronephrosis and bladder herniation was confirmed at surgery, and hernioplasty with polypropylene mesh reinforcement was successfully performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. He was discharged on the seventh day after surgery. Six weeks after surgery, CT revealed disappearance of allograft hydroureteronephrosis and no sign of inguinal hernia recurrence with the serum creatinine stable at 1.0 mg/dL. Transplant ureteral obstruction due to inguinal hernia is a rare complication after kidney transplantation. However, transplant ureter or bladder herniation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of graft hydroureteronephrosis for preventing allograft loss.

A 78-year-old woman was endoscopically followed up for benign melanocytosis in the middle thoracic esophagus that was detected 3 years prior. She presented with chest tightness, and an endoscopic examination revealed a protruding tumor at the melanotic lesion. She was histologically diagnosedwith an esophageal primary malignant melanoma. Computedtomography showedno metastatic lesions. She underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy with 2-fieldlymphad enectomy. Immunotherapy with nivolumab is ongoing for liver metastasis, which developed1 year and6 months after esophagectomy. Careful follow-up for esophageal melanocytosis is important for early diagnosis of esophageal primary malignant melanoma.

AIM: This study aimed to determine surgical outcomes in patients with gynecological cancers for whom surgery was performed by gynecologists and digestive surgeons. METHODS: Seventy-three patients who underwent surgery for a gynecological malignant tumor from January 2010 to December 2014 were included in this retrospective study. Data on the definitive diagnosis, operative procedures, postoperative complications, stoma settings, length of hospital stay, and prognosis was collected for each patient. RESULTS: The median age of this female-only cohort was 60 years. Emergency surgery was performed in 8(11.0%)patients. Ovarian cancer was diagnosed in 56(76.7%)patients, and among these patients, the clinical disease Stage was Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ in 4, 4, 20, and 11 patients, respectively. Moreover, 17 patients had recurrent ovarian cancer. Intestinal resection with anastomosis was performed in 25(34.2%)patients. Stoma formation was performed in 22 (30.1%)patients, however no patient underwent stoma closure surgery in the current study. The median operative time was 252 minutes, and the median blood loss was 1,190 mL. Regarding postoperative complications, ileus, pelvic abscess, and anastomotic leakage developed in 6(8.2%), 4(5.5%), and 2(2.7%)patients, respectively. The postoperative median survival time in patients with ovarian cancer was 1,399 days. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that tumor debulking, including intestinal tract resection, may contribute to the prolonged prognosis of gynecological tumors, although stoma closure is difficult to perform.

A 37-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis and rectal carcinoma. He underwent total colectomy with ileoanal anastomosis(pT3N1M0, pStage Ⅲa)followed by adjuvant therapy with S-1. Three months after primary surgery, CT and MRIrevealed liver metastases(S5, S6). Laparoscopic partial hepatectomy was performed. Two years after primary surgery, new liver metastases(S2, S8)were found and we performed open partial hepatectomy and administered mFOLFOX6. Three years and 5 months after primary surgery, right lung metastases(S6, S9) were detected and the patient underwent a thoracoscopic-assisted right lung wedge resection. Repeated resection of metastases might have contributed to the long-survival in our case.

A 66-year-old man with middle thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis visited our hospital. He underwent 3 courses of preoperative chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-FU(DCF)with a clinically-determined partial response. Minimally-invasive esophagectomy with 3-fieldlymphad enectomy was subsequently performed. Histopathologic examination revealedno viable tumor cells in the resectedesophagus andsupraclavicular lymph node. DCF is a promising preoperative chemotherapy regimen for locally advanced esophageal cancer because of its higher complete response rate comparedto that for cisplatin plus 5-FU.

A 62-year-old man was admitted with complaints of bloody stool. Colonoscopy revealed a 5 cm diameter type 2 tumor in the lower rectum close to the anal canal. Tumor biopsy indicated a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography revealed locally advanced rectal cancer with mesorectal lymph node metastases(cT3N1P0M0, Stage Ⅲa, JSCCR 8th). The patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)after transverse colostomy as an anus-preserving procedure. For the NAC, 12 courses of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(CapeOX)and bevacizumab(BV)were administered. Colonoscopy after NAC revealed that the main tumor had considerably shrunk. No malignant tissues were found on biopsy. However, rectal wall thickness remained unchanged. Therefore, response evaluation for chemotherapy indicated partial response. Intersphincteric resection(ISR)with diverting loop ileostomy was performed as an anus-preserving surgical procedure. No remnant tumor in the rectum or lymph node metastases were found upon the pathological examination of resected specimens. Ileostomy closure was performed at 6 months post-ISR. At 12 months post-ISR, the patient was well and showed no signs of recurrence. This case demonstrated that NAC with CapeOX and BV can be a promising option for treating locally advanced lower rectal cancer and preserving the anus.

A 65-year-old woman was referred for further examination following positive results on a fecal occult blood test. Colonoscopy revealed type 0-Ⅱa cancer, with a lesion measuring 2 cm in diameter in the rectosigmoid colon, and type 5 cancer, with a lesion measuring 6 cm in diameter in the upper rectum. Computed tomography(CT)and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT revealed mesorectal lymph node metastases. Therefore, she was diagnosed with rectosigmoid colon cancer(Stage Ⅰ)and upper rectal cancer(Stage Ⅲa). However, PET-CT also revealed slight fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the paraaortic and lateral lymph node lesions; hence, the possibility ofmetastasis could not be ruled out. Given that chemotherapy was restricted due to renal dysfunction, low anterior resection was performed as the first choice. Analysis of intraoperative frozen sections showed paraaortic and lateral lymph node metastases; thus, we performed lymph node dissection of these lesions. Pathological examination ofthe resected lymph nodes revealed that 21 of 37 lesions were cancer metastases. S-1 was administered as adjuvant chemotherapy for 5 months. Mediastinal lymph node metastases was suspected on chest CT 5 months and 3 years post-surgery; thus, panitumumab was administrated. These lymph nodes decreased in size immediately. Six years after the first surgery, the patient was well without any signs of recurrence.

A 77-year-old woman presented with peritoneal metastases from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor(p-NET). At the age of 56 years, she underwent distal pancreatectomy for p-NET, which was pathologically diagnosed as G2. She underwent right hemihepatectomy for liver metastasis(S6)from the p-NET 10 years post-pancreatectomy. Eight years post-hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation(RFA)was attempted for liver metastasis(S4)from the p-NET. However, RFA was not completed because of hematoma development along the needle tract of RFA. She underwent partial hepatectomy for this lesion 6 months post-RFA. Two years post-RFA, localized peritoneal metastases on the right diaphragm were detected. She underwent en bloc tumor resection with partial resection of the diaphragm. She remains alive and well with no evidence of disease 2 years post-resection of the peritoneal metastases from the p-NET.

PURPOSE: To investigate the possibility that the antioxidant stress protein Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is involved in the acquisition of chemoresistance in cisplatin and pirarubicin (CITA) therapy. METHODS: Human hepatoblastoma-derived cell line (HepG2) was used to generate a knockdown cell line of HO-1 by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Expression of HO-1, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Akt, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) was examined by Western blot. The cytotoxic effect of cisplatin, pirarubicin, and EGFR inhibitor was examined by trypan blue staining. In human hepatoblastoma specimens (n = 5), changes of HO-1 expression were examined immunohistochemically before and after CITA therapy. RESULTS: HO-1 expression in HepG2 cells was increased by the treatment of cisplatin (CDDP) and pirarubicin (THP) dose-dependently. In HO-1 knockdown HepG2 cells, the HO-1 was not expressed and the percentage of trypan blue-positive cells (dead cells) was significantly increased after treatment of CDDP and THP. The EGFR inhibitor decreased the levels of HO-1, phospho-Akt and phospho-ERK1/2 in HepG2 cells. Combination treatment of EGFR inhibitor with CDDP and THP increased the cytotoxic effect in HepG2 cells. In human hepatoblastoma specimens, 4 of the 5 patients (80%) showed HO-1 expression changed much stronger in the viable tumor cells after CITA therapy. CONCLUSION: The cytotoxic effects of CDDP and THP were both enhanced under HO-1 knockdown conditions as well as under conditions that inhibit the activation pathway of HO-1 by EGFR inhibitors. EGFR/HO-1 axis may be involved in acquiring chemoresistance in HepG2 cell lines as well as in human hepatoblastoma.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and distribution of regional lymph node metastasis according to tumor location, and to clarify whether tumor location could determine the extent of regional lymphadenectomy in patients with pathological T2 (pT2) gallbladder carcinoma. METHODS: In total, 81 patients with pT2 gallbladder carcinoma (25 with pT2a tumors and 56 with pT2b tumors) who underwent radical resection were enrolled. Tumor location was determined histologically in each gallbladder specimen. RESULTS: Survival after resection was significantly worse in patients with pT2b tumors than those with pT2a tumors (5-year survival, 72% vs. 96%; p = 0.027). Tumor location was an independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 14.162; p = 0.018). The incidence of regional lymph node metastasis was significantly higher in patients with pT2b tumors than in those with pT2a tumors (46% vs. 20%; p = 0.028). However, the number of positive nodes was similar between the two groups (median, 2 vs. 2; p = 0.910). For node-positive patients with pT2b tumors, metastasis was found in every regional node group (12%-63%), whereas even for node-positive patients with pT2a tumors, metastasis was observed in regional node groups outside the hepatoduodenal ligament. CONCLUSIONS: Tumor location in patients with pT2 gallbladder carcinoma can predict the presence or absence of regional lymph node metastasis but not the number and anatomical distribution of positive regional lymph nodes. The extent of regional lymphadenectomy should not be changed even in patients with pT2a tumors, provided that they are fit enough for surgery.

Background: Surgical stress and inflammation can cause hyperbilirubinemia, which sometimes occurs after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer (EC). The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical significance of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia in the management of EC patients. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 81 EC patients who underwent esophagectomy from 2009 to 2014. We compared the clinicopathological and perioperative factors, including the presence of hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin ≥1.5 mg/dL), between patients with postoperative infectious complications (PIC group) and those without (Non-PIC group). Results: PIC developed in 52 patients (64.2%). There were significant differences in incidence of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia between the PIC group and the non-PIC group (34.6% vs. 3.4%, P = 0.002), as well as the approach of esophagectomy (P = 0.045), the surgical duration (469 vs. 389 min, P < 0.001), the amount of blood loss (420 vs. 300 mL, P = 0.018), the frequency of intraoperative blood transfusions (32.7% vs. 6.9%, P = 0.012) and the peak postoperative C-reactive protein level (17.3 vs. 8.6 mg/dL, P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis revealed hyperbilirubinemia was independently associated with the occurrence of PICs (odds ratio: 38.6, P = 0.010). The median time to the diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia was significantly shorter than that of PICs (3.0 vs. 4.5 days, P = 0.025). Conclusions: Postoperative hyperbilirubinemia was associated with the occurrence of PICs and frequently occurred before any PICs become apparent. More attention should be paid to the serum bilirubin level in the management after esophagectomy for EC.

An 82-year-old man with a diagnosis ofintraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma(IPMC)underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1. Six months after surgery, he had upper abdominal pain, and CT demonstrated a recurrent intraabdominal tumor located at the surgical incision scar. It was diagnosed as a solitary peritoneal recurrence, and palliative radiation therapy at a dose of 30 Gy was performed for the relief of abdominal pain after administration ofoxycodone. He was free ofpain without pharmacological therapy and received subsequent chemotherapy with nabpaclitaxel plus gemcitabine(GnP). He remains free ofpain and alive without progression ofthe disease 24 months after recurrence. Hypofractionated-accelerated radiotherapy is feasible and results in pain relief for local recurrence of IPMC.

A 78-year-old woman with jaundice was referred to our hospital. On admission, serological testing for viral hepatitis was negative and serum levels of AFP and PIVKA-Ⅱ were elevated(925 ng/mL and 6,820 mAU/mL, respectively). Computed tomography revealed a main tumor measuring 3 cm in size at segment 1 of the liver and bile duct tumor thrombus extending to the right hepatic duct. A diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with a bile duct tumor thrombus was made. After endoscopic biliary drainage for obstructive jaundice and transarterial chemoembolization for the lesions, she underwent left hepatectomy, resection of the caudate lobe, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and cholecystectomy. The hepatic side of the extrahepatic bile duct was transected at the confluence of the right anterior and posterior ducts because invasion of the tumor thrombus to the right hepatic duct was suspected on cholangioscopy. Histological examination revealed the tumor to be a moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma with bile duct tumor thrombus. Surgical margins were negative, and vascular invasion was not found. She remains alive and well with no evidence of disease 64 months after hepatectomy.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Restorative proctocolectomy (RP) may improve quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated lower rectal cancer to a greater extent than total proctocolectomy. However, patients with UC-associated cancer often have flat mucosal lesions that make it extremely difficult to endoscopically delineate the tumor margins. Therefore, there is a potential risk of residual tumor and local recurrence after RP in patients with UC-associated lower rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of RP in patients with UC-associated cancer of the lower rectum. METHODS: We retrospectively identified nine patients who had undergone RP for UC-associated lower rectal cancer at the Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital between January 2000 and December 2016. The incidence of flat mucosal cancer, distal margin status, and oncologic outcomes were evaluated in the nine patients. RESULTS: Eight (89%) of the nine patients had flat mucosal cancer in the lower rectum. The median length of the distal margin was 22 mm (range 0-55 mm). No patient developed local or distant recurrence during follow-up. One patient had a positive distal margin. This patient underwent annual pouchoscopy, but had no local recurrence and died of pancreatic cancer 81 months after RP. The remaining eight patients were alive at the final observation. Five-year and 10-year overall survival rates in the nine patients were 100% and 66.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients with UC-associated lower rectal cancer often have lesions of the flat mucosal type. However, RP is feasible and not necessarily contraindicated in such patients.

We present a case of long-term survival in a patient with advanced ascending colon cancer and multiple liver metastases after receiving multimodality therapy, which included hepatic atrial infusion(HAI)and 4 hepatectomies. At diagnosis, the 65- year-old woman underwent right hemicolectomy for advanced ascending colon cancer with multiple liver metastases (T3N1M1[H2], Stage Ⅳ). The 11 liver metastatic lesions were treated by weekly HAI of 5-fluorouracil(5-FU). The lesions reduced in size(response rate 28.9%)immediately following treatment, and no new lesions were detected, but 10 months after treatment the size of the S2 tumor had increased. Systemic chemotherapy with irinotecan and S-1 was administered. Continued development of the S2 tumor in the liver prompted a radical lateral segment hepatectomy. Four months later, a computed tomography(CT)scan revealed a S6 tumor of the liver, for which a posterior segment hepatectomy was performed. A CT scan showing a S1 tumor in the liver 9 months later resulted in chemotherapeutic treatment with CapeOX, followed by mFOLFOX6. Despite treatment, the S1 tumor developed further, prompting a S1 partial hepatectomy. A further partial S8 hepatectomy was performed 7 years after surgery for the primary lesion following a CT scan that revealed a S8 tumor in the liver. There has been no recurrence of tumors in the 5 years and 5 months since this last hepatectomy.

A 59-year-old woman with pancreatic cancer underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with a small amount of mucinous component. After resection, the patient underwent hepatic perfusion therapy using 5-FU and gemcitabine chemotherapy for 1 year. 7 years after the initial surgery, CT and PET-CT revealed an isolated enlarged lymph node in the left neck. As the patient had no other metastasis, lymphadenectomy was performed. A diagnosis of lymph node metastasis originating from pancreatic cancer was confirmed on the basis of histological and immunohistopathological assessments. After the second resection, chemotherapy with S-1 was administered for 1 year. The patient has been alive without tumor relapse for 11 years. In patients with late recurrence after pancreatectomy, aggressive isolated lymph node resection and maintained chemotherapy may contribute to the improvement in prognosis.

Peritoneal metastasis is relatively rare in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). No consensus has been reached regarding the treatment of this type of metastasis. Herein, we report 3 patients who underwent resection of peritoneal metastasis due to HCC. Case 1: A 48-year-old man underwent hepatectomy twice and radiofrequency ablation(RFA)once for HCC. Eight years after the initial resection, he underwent resection of peritoneal metastasis in the pelvic floor. He is alive with disease 17 months after the last operation. Case 2: A 71-year-old man with a history of percutaneous ablation therapy for HCC 3 times underwent hepatectomy for recurrent HCC. During the laparotomy, a peritoneal metastatic tumor was found near the live tumor, and simultaneous resection of both the tumors was performed. The patient died of recurrent disease 20 months after the last resection. Case 3: A 58-year-old man underwent hepatectomy for HCC and RFA for its recurrence. Peritoneal metastasis that invaded the duodenum was detected 8 years after the hepatectomy. Although the metastatic tumor was resected, he died of the carcinoma 2 months after the resection. We concluded that resection of peritoneal metastasis provides a survival benefit for selected patients with HCC.

A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of appetite loss and abdominal distension. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a giant retroperitoneal tumor. We performed en bloc tumor resection. The histological diagnosis was of a dedifferentiated liposarcoma. One year after the initial surgery, 2 tumors were detected around the pancreas using computed tomography. We made a diagnosis of recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma and attempted surgical removal of the tumors. However, 1 of the tumors firmly adhered to the pancreas and duodenum; thus, we performed subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy to remove the tumors. The histological diagnosis was the same as that obtained during the initial surgery: a dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The patient remains alive and well with no evidence of disease 2 years after the initial surgery.

A 33-year-old woman underwent resection of a right breast mass, which was diagnosed as a fibroadenoma 15 years ago. Ten years later, a right breast mass appeared again, and it was diagnosed as a fibroadenoma based on core needle biopsy. After observation for a while, the mass increased in size, and she underwent resection of the tumor, which was diagnosed as a borderline-malignant phyllodes tumor. A mass appeared again in the right breast and rapidly expanded. A malignant phyllodes tumor was suspected, and right mastectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis revealed a benign phyllodes tumor. Four years ago, a left breast mass was also detected. Because the mass was suspected to be a fibroadenoma, it has been observed for a few years. The mass has increased in size since 1 year ago, and another mass emerged 2 months ago. Core needle biopsy of the 2 masses revealed that both were phyllodes tumors. She underwent left mastectomy, and the pathological examination revealed that both masses were benign phyllodes tumors. We report this rare case of metachronal phyllodes tumors that presented bilaterally.

A 68-year-old woman who had leftbreastcancer (cT2N0M0, cStage ⅡA)underwentbreast -conserving therapy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. Pathological diagnosis of the resected specimen revealed a 60mm cancer lesion including a 50 mm invasive ductal carcinoma with surrounding ductal carcinoma in situ, although the pre-operative MRI suggested a 30mm invasive cancer. The surgical margin was positive with the exposure of ductal carcinoma in situ. Additional resection was performed with a resection margin of 20mm from the head-side stump of the previous surgery. Pathological diagnosis of the additionally resected specimen revealed a 6mm invasive carcinoma with its exposure on the surface of the specimen around the new surgical stump distant from the initial surgical margin, where no remnant cancer was noted. She underwent left mastectomy. Pathological diagnosis further revealed 7mm and 2mm invasive carcinomas in the remnant breast. The preoperative imaging was reviewed retrospectively, and it was found that identifying the nodules in the remnant breast was quite difficult based on the images, including MRI. We report a case of breast cancer with metastatic nodules in additionally resected specimens.

A 74-year-old woman with cT4aN2M0, cStage ⅢB gastric cancer underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising 2 courses of S-1 plus cisplatin, and the clinical response was determined as non-CR/non-PD according to RECIST ver 1.1. Although distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was planned, the tumor was considered as unresectable with peritoneal metastases during laparotomy. After the subsequent chemotherapy with 1 course of capecitabine plus cisplatin, tumor bleeding, and obstruction due to rapid tumor progression occurred. We performed palliative distal gastrectomy; however, the patient died 17 days after gastrectomy. A comprehensive genomic analysis using cancer-gene panel identified the tumor as a microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H). Recently post hoc analysis of the large-scale clinical trials showed no clinical benefit of perioperative chemotherapy in MSI-H gastric cancer. MSI status has a potential to optimize the perioperative treatment strategy in gastric cancer.

Recent advances in dimensional imaging, surgical technique, and perioperative patient care have resulted in increased rates of complete resection with histopathologically negative margins and improved surgical outcomes in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, achieving cancer-free resection margins at ductal stumps in surgery for this disease remains challenging because of longitudinal extension, which is one of the hallmarks of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. When the ductal resection margins are shown to be positive on examination of frozen sections, discrimination between carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma is clinically important because residual carcinoma in situ may lead to late local recurrence whereas residual invasive carcinoma is associated with early local recurrence. Residual invasive carcinoma at the ductal margins should be avoided whenever technically feasible. Residual "carcinoma in situ" at the ductal margins appears to be allowed in resection for the advanced disease because it has less effect on survival than other adverse prognostic factors (pN1 and/ or pM1). However, in surgery for early-stage (pTis-2N0M0) extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, residual carcinoma in situ at the ductal margins may have an adverse effect on long-term survival, so should be avoided whenever possible. In this review, we focus on the histopathological term "carcinoma in situ," the biological behavior of residual carcinoma in situ at ductal resection margins, intraoperative histological examination of the ductal resection margins, outcome of additional resection for positive ductal margins, and adjuvant therapy for patients with positive margins.

Lymphatic metastasis is known to contribute to worse prognosis of biliary tract cancer (BTC). Recently, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid mediator generated by sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), has been shown to play an important role in lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis in several types of cancer. However, the role of the lipid mediator in BTC has never been examined. Here we found that S1P is elevated in BTC with the activation of ceramide-synthetic pathways, suggesting that BTC utilizes SPHK1 to promote lymphatic metastasis. We found that S1P, sphingosine and ceramide precursors such as monohexosyl-ceramide and sphingomyelin, but not ceramide, were significantly increased in BTC compared to normal biliary tract tissue using LC-ESI-MS/MS. Utilizing The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort, we demonstrated that S1P in BTC is generated via de novo pathway and exported via ABCC1. Further, we found that SPHK1 expression positively correlated with factors related to lymphatic metastasis in BTC. Finally, immunohistochemical examination revealed that gallbladder cancer with lymph node metastasis had significantly higher expression of phospho-SPHK1 than that without. Taken together, our data suggest that S1P generated in BTC contributes to lymphatic metastasis.

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a chronic, idiopathic, repeated inflammatory disease. Colorectal cancer (CRC) that develops in patients with IBD is known as colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), but the underlying carcinogenic mechanism remains unclear. Genomic analysis of sporadic CRC has been well described based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Using NGS, we compared all exons of 415 cancer-associated genes in patients in Japan and the USA who had CRC and found similar genomic alteration patterns among the two populations. However, genomic analysis of CAC has not been thoroughly investigated. MAIN BODY: The molecular pathogenesis of CAC shares many features with sporadic CRC, but there are distinct variations in the time and frequency of some alterations. Gene alterations in CAC are gradually being elucidated using genomic sequencing analyses. Some studies have shown that gene alteration patterns differ between UC and CD. The carcinogenesis of CAC depends on unique environmental, genetic, and immunological factors. CONCLUSIONS: In this review, we have discussed the differences in genomic alterations between sporadic CRC and CAC. NGS in patients with IBD has the potential to detect early CAC and to suggest therapeutic targets.
