Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated the applicability of the concept of "platinum sensitivity" in recurrent endometrial cancer. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have been widely incorporated into endometrial cancer treatment, the debate continues regarding treatment options in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer who have previously received platinum-based chemotherapy. In this study, we assessed the duration of response to secondary platinum-based treatment using pooled data from the SGSG-012/GOTIC-004/Intergroup study. METHODS Among the 279 participants in the SGSG-012/GOTIC-004/Intergroup study wherein platinum-based chemotherapy was re-administered for managing recurrent endometrial cancer between January 2005 and December 2009, 130 (47%) responded to chemotherapy. We compared the relationship between platinum-free interval and duration of secondary platinum-based treatment using pooled data. RESULTS In 40 patients (31%), the duration of response to secondary platinum-based treatment exceeded the platinum-free interval. The duration of response to secondary platinum-based treatment exceeded 12 months in 51 patients (39%) [platinum-free interval: < 12 months, 14/48 (29%); 12-23 months, 18/43 (42%); 24-35 months, 8/19 (42%); ≥ 36 months, 11/20 (55%)]. In particular, in eight patients (6%), the duration of response to secondary platinum-based treatment exceeded 36 months [platinum-free interval: < 12 months, 3/48 (6%); 12-23 months, 0/19 (0%); 24-35 months, 2/19 (11%); ≥ 36 months, 3/20 (15%)]. CONCLUSIONS Re-administration of platinum-based chemotherapy for recurrent endometrial cancer may result in a long-term response exceeding the platinum-free interval in some patients. Even in the current situation, where immune checkpoint inhibitors have been introduced, re-administration of platinum-based chemotherapy is worth considering.

Gynecol Oncol Rep 2024; 55:101482. [PMID: 39252764 PMCID: PMC11381465 DOI: 10.1016/j.gore.2024.101482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Platinum-free interval (PFI) is the period from the end of platinum-based chemotherapy to the date of recurrence. If the PFI is > 6 months, a platinum-based chemotherapy rechallenge is considered; however, its efficacy after poly adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy is unknown. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of a platinum-based chemotherapy rechallenge after PARP inhibitor therapy. Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients with ovarian cancer with a PFI≥6 months with PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy, receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. Duration of PARP inhibitor therapy, best response to subsequent platinum chemotherapy rechallenge, and clinical characteristics were collected from medical records. Tumor response was assessed according to RECIST 1.1. Correlations were calculated using Spearman's correlation coefficients. Results Among the 10 included patients, seven (70 %) received PARP inhibitors after primary chemotherapy, and three (30 %) received chemotherapy for platinum-sensitive relapse. One and five patients harbored a germline BRCA1 and BRCA wild-type mutations, respectively, and two had homologous recombination proficiency. The median PFI was 303.5 (182-602) days, and PARP inhibitor therapy duration was 249 (147-570) days. Platinum chemotherapy rechallenge efficacy was complete and partial response and stable disease in one (10 %), six (60 %), and three (30 %) patients, respectively. The longer the duration of PARP inhibitor treatment, better the response to platinum agents (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.284, p = 0.0288). Conclusion Platinum-based chemotherapy rechallenge is reasonable for patients with platinum-sensitive disease, using the traditional PFI cutoff of 6 months, even when the PFI is obtained with a maintenance PARP inhibitor.

Abstract
Hepatic mobilization is essential in debulking surgery for resecting diaphragmatic lesions in advanced ovarian cancer. However, hepatic mobilization potentially induces postoperative portal vein thrombosis and hepatic infarction. No reports exist regarding these postoperative complications of gynecological surgeries. Thus, we reported a case of portal vein thrombosis and hepatic infarction after ovarian cancer surgery with upper abdominal surgery. The 51-year-old female patient who had been diagnosed with advanced ovarian and early endometrial cancer underwent primary debulking surgery. Ultimately, she underwent the following surgical procedures: a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, total parietal peritonectomy, low anterior resection, ileostomy, and appendicectomy. The hepatic enzymatic and D-dimer levels were elevated, postoperatively. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed portal vein thrombosis and an infarction of the hepatic S3 region. The portal vein thrombosis resolved post-administration of unfractionated heparin. The hepatic infarction improved. Meticulous intra- and postoperative management should encompass the deliberation of the potential risk of these postoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Early identification of patients needing hospital-specific interventional care (HIC) following endoscopic treatment is valuable for optimizing postoperative hospital stays. We aimed to develop and validate a risk-scoring system for predicting HIC in patients who underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). METHODS This study included patients with esophageal motility disorders who underwent POEM at our hospital between April 2015 and March 2023. HIC was defined as any of the following situations: fasting for gastrointestinal rest to manage adverse events (AEs); intravenous administration of medications such as antibiotics and blood transfusion; endoscopic, radiologic, and surgical interventions; intensive care unit management; or other life-threatening events. A risk-scoring system for predicting HIC after postoperative day (POD) 1 was developed using multivariable logistic regression and was internally validated using bootstrapping and decision curve analysis. RESULTS Of the 589 patients, 50 (8.5%) experienced HIC after POD1. Risk scores were assigned for four factors as follows: age (0 points for <70 years, 1 point for 70-79 years, 2 points for ≥80 years), preoperative prognostic nutritional index (0 points for >45, 1 point for 40-45, 4 points for <40), postoperative surgical site AEs on second-look endoscopy (7 points), and postoperative pneumonia on chest radiography (6 points). The discriminative ability (concordance statistics, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.78-0.91) and calibration (slope 1.00; 0.74-1.28) were satisfactory. The decision curve analysis demonstrated its clinical usefulness. CONCLUSION This risk-scoring system can predict the HIC after POD1 and provide useful information for determining discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding chemosensitivity to different therapeutic regimens in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains limited. This study aimed to investigate EOC implementation in daily clinical practice and reveal favorable regimens for EOC among Japanese patients. METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data of patients newly diagnosed with EOC from 2012 to 2021 at our affiliated institutions. We evaluated overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of conventional paclitaxel plus carboplatin (TC) vs. dose-dense TC (ddTC) according to the eligibility of GOG262 and JGOG3016 and those with bevacizumab (BEV) vs. without BEV based on GOG218. Further, we evaluated OS and PFS of ddTC and ddTC + BEV to TC + BEV among patients with stage III/IV. RESULTS The ddTC group (n = 402) demonstrated longer PFS and OS than the TC group (n = 165) (adjusted hazard ratios [aHRs] [95% confidential intervals (CIs)]: 0.69 [0.55-0.88] and 0.67 [0.50-0.90], respectively). The group with BEV (n = 158) demonstrated a longer PFS than those without BEV (n = 296) (0.74 [0.57-0.95]), but not for OS (0.84 [0.60-1.17]). The ddTC and ddTC + BEV groups (n = 259 and 117) demonstrated no statistically significant differences in PFS and OS than the TC + BEV group (n = 75) (1.09 [0.79-1.50] and 0.74 [0.52-1.08] for PFS and 0.89 [0.59-1.34] and 0.73 [0.50-1.05] for OS, respectively). CONCLUSION Our study may indicate ddTC, BEV, and their combination regimen as the promising first-line chemotherapy option among Japanese patients with advanced EOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrial carcinoma, the most common gynecologic carcinoma, has an excellent prognosis post-surgery when diagnosed early. The role of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in stages I-II endometrial carcinoma remains controversial. This study assesses the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in improving prognosis for these patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1223 stage I-II endometrial carcinoma patients who underwent surgical treatment including total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymph-node biopsy or dissection across four Jikei University School of Medicine-affiliated facilities between 2001 and 2018. Patients were divided into low intermediate risk (LIR) and high intermediate risk (HIR) groups based on recurrence risk. Propensity score matching adjusted for various covariates was used to compare progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy and those who did not. RESULTS The study included 443 eligible patients, with 288 in the LIR group and 155 in the HIR group. Post propensity score matching, no significant difference in PFS or OS was observed between the observation and adjuvant chemotherapy groups within both risk categories. Notably, the 5-year OS for LIR was 97.6% in the observation group and 96.7% in the chemotherapy group; for HIR, the 5-year OS was similarly high with no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy does not significantly contribute to the improvement of recurrence or prognosis in patients with stage I-II endometrial carcinoma who are categorized outside the low-risk group and have no lymph-node metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Helicobacter pylori infection-negative gastric cancer (HPNGC) has not been systematically investigated in consecutive patients. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological and endoscopic features of HPNGC. METHODS This single-center retrospective study selected participants from patients with gastric cancer who were treated at the Fukuoka University Chikushi Hospital between January 2013 and December 2021. Only patients diagnosed with HPNGC were enrolled, and their clinicopathological and endoscopic features were analyzed in detail. RESULTS The prevalence of HPNGC in the present study was 2.6% (54/2112). The types of HPNGC observed in each gastric region were as follows: advanced gastric cancer was observed in the cardia; gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland differentiation, gastric adenocarcinoma of foveolar-type presenting with whitish elevation and raspberry-like foveolar-type gastric adenocarcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma arising in polyposis, and gastric adenocarcinoma with autoimmune gastritis were observed in the fundic gland region ranging from the gastric fornix to the gastric body; signet-ring cell carcinoma was observed in the gastric-pyloric transition region ranging from the lower gastric body to the gastric angle; and well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with low-grade atypia was observed in the antrum. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that tumors from each gastric region exhibited distinct macroscopic and histological types in HPNGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Sodium picosulfate plus magnesium citrate (SP + MC) is a well-tolerated bowel preparation agent. However, Japan currently approves only two methods of taking SP + MC: the day-before and split-dose preparation, without approval of same-day preparations. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of same-day SP + MC preparations. METHODS This was a multicenter, single-arm, nonrandomized, open-label study. We enrolled 145 Japanese patients between June and December 2023. The patients received two sachets of SP + MC dissolved in 300 ml of water and 1200 mL or more of clear liquid on the day of colonoscopy. Bowel cleansing efficacy, adverse events (AEs), and patient satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS Of the enrolled patients, 137 underwent colonoscopy according to our protocol. Bowel preparation was adequate in 133 patients (97.1%). The mean total Boston Bowel Preparation Score was 8.3 ± 1.2. Five patients experienced AEs (3.6%): two (1.5%), abdominal pain; one (0.73%), ischemic enteritis; one (0.73%), vomiting or nausea; and one (0.73%), headache. All AEs were treated conservatively. None of the patients exhibited abnormal blood test results or clinical symptoms after receiving SP + MC. Regarding patient satisfaction, all patients were able to take SP + MC as directed; 136 (99.2%) expressed a preference for this bowel preparation for future colonoscopies. CONCLUSION The same-day SP + MC preparation showed high bowel-cleansing efficacy and satisfaction in Japanese patients without serious AEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compared the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of dose-dense paclitaxel and carboplatin plus bevacizumab (ddTC+Bev) with ddTC for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 134 patients who received ddTC+Bev or ddTC as first-line chemotherapy for stage III-IV ovarian cancer. Progression-free survival as primary endpoint of this study was compared using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards model and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to analyze prognostic factors, and the frequency of adverse events was examined using the χ² test. RESULTS We categorized 134 patients in the ddTC+Bev (n=57) and ddTC (n=77) groups who started treatment at four related institutions from November 2013 to December 2017. No patients used poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors as the first line maintenance therapy. The progression-free survival (PFS) of the ddTC+Bev group had a significantly better prognosis than that of the ddTC group (hazard ratio [HR]=0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.32-0.79; p<0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that ddTC+Bev regimen was a prognostic factor. However, intergroup comparison using PSM revealed that the PFS of the ddTC+Bev group had a nonsignificantly better prognosis than that of the ddTC group (HR=0.70; 95% CI=0.41-1.20; p=0.189). Few adverse events above G3 were noted for ddTC+Bev, which were sufficiently tolerable. CONCLUSION This study could not demonstrate that adding Bev to ddTC improves prognosis. Further studies with more cases are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Multiple white and flat elevated lesions (MWFL) that develop from the gastric corpus to the fornix may be strongly associated with oral antacid intake. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between the occurrence of MWFL and oral proton pump inhibitor (PPI) intake and clarify the endoscopic and clinicopathological characteristics of MWFL. METHODS The study included 163 patients. The history of oral drug intake was collected, and serum gastrin levels and anti-Helicobacter pylori immunoglobulin G antibody titers were measured. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed. The primary study endpoint was the association between MWFL and oral PPI intake. RESULTS In the univariate analyses, MWFL were observed in 35 (49.3%) of 71 patients who received oral PPIs and 10 (10.9%) of 92 patients who did not receive oral PPIs. The occurrence of MWFL was significantly higher among patients who received PPIs than in those who did not (p<0.001). Moreover, the occurrence of MWFL was significantly higher in patients with hypergastrinemia (p=0.005). In the multivariate analyses, oral PPI intake was the only significant independent factor associated with the presence of MWFL (p=0.001; odds ratio, 5.78; 95% confidence interval, 2.06-16.2). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that oral PPI intake is associated with the presence of MWFL (UMINCTR 000030144).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichophyton benhamiae, an anthropophilic dermatophyte, can cause dermatophytosis in humans and animals with rising zoonotic infections through pets, primarily in Europe. Dermatophytosis from T. benhamiae is often misdiagnosed due to its inflammatory symptoms. We report a case of tinea corporis from T. benhamiae var. luteum in a Japanese woman, contracted from pet Czech degus. CASE The 40-year-old patient developed neck papules resembling acne. Initial treatment with topical antibiotics and steroids exacerbated the rash. Fungal elements were not detected by direct potassium hydroxide examination. Skin biopsy confirmed fungal elements in the stratum corneum and hair follicles, and tinea corporis was diagnosed. Oral terbinafine 125 mg was initiated without topical agents. Erythematous papules appeared on her limbs, determined as a trichophytid reaction. After two months, her skin improved significantly. Fungal culture identified T. benhamiae var. luteum colonies with a yellowish hue. Mating tests classified the strain as Americano-European race (-) with MAT1-1 genotype. This was diagnosed as tinea corporis from T. benhamiae var. luteum, likely transmitted from pet Czech degus. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of pet-transmitted cutaneous fungal infections may increase in Japan with the trend to keep exotic pets. Dermatologists must recognize dermatophytosis clinical features from anthropophilic dermatophytes to prevent misdiagnosis and understand evolving nomenclature and pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Total parietal peritonectomy is gradually being recognized as a surgical option for advanced ovarian cancer; however, evidence regarding its efficacy and safety remains insufficient. Herein, we aimed to assess the short- and long-term post-operative safety profiles of total parietal peritonectomy. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of post-operative morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery with total parietal peritonectomy for stage III and IV ovarian cancer between April 2018 and January 2023. RESULTS Fifty patients were enrolled in the study: 31 who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery and 19 who underwent interval cytoreductive surgery. The median age of all patients was 57 (range, 23-74) years. The median follow-up period was 22 (range, 3-59) months. Of 44 patients (88%) with stage IIIC/IV, 38 patients (76%) had high-grade serous carcinoma. The complete resection rates were 94%, 91%, and 100% in all patients, the primary cytoreductive surgery group, and the interval cytoreductive surgery group, respectively. There were 63 post-operative complication events overall, including 17 (27%) major complication events in 15 patients within 1 year post-operatively. Ten major complications occurred within 30 days of surgery, mainly in the primary cytoreductive surgery group (9 cases). Regarding complication type, the most frequent major event was pleural effusion (3 cases, 7%). After 30 days, there were a total of 17 all-grade complication events, of which ileus and hydronephrosis were major complications in 3 cases each (18%). There were no mortalities related to cytoreductive surgery. The scheduled adjuvant chemotherapy could be completed in 96% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Total parietal peritonectomy is a feasible procedure for managing advanced ovarian cancer. Short- and long-term complications may include pleural effusion and ileus/hydronephrosis, respectively.

Abstract
A man in his 60 s underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at our hospital, which revealed a 30-mm elevated lesion in the upper stomach (main lesion). There were several discolored, flat mucosal lesions and slightly elevated, reddish, subepithelial mass-like lesions (multiple secondary lesions) in the gastric fornix and body. Histopathological examination of several biopsied secondary lesions revealed gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland type (GA-FG) or gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland-mucosa type (GA-FGM). The main lesion was suspected to be GA-FGM on magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging. It was removed using endoscopic submucosal dissection for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. The histopathological diagnosis of the resected lesion was GA-FGM, which was surrounded by two GA-FGM and > 30 GA-FG lesions. Total gastrectomy was considered; however, the patient declined further surgical treatment. Therefore, he was followed up with biannual endoscopy and computed tomography. At five years postoperatively, no tumor growth or metastasis has been observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most ovarian clear cell carcinomas are resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy, while a small subset shows a positive response. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics of platinum-sensitive ovarian clear cell carcinomas. METHODS The study included 53 patients with stage III-IV ovarian clear cell carcinoma who had residual tumours after primary surgery and received platinum-based therapy between 2009 and 2018. A retrospective examination of platinum sensitivity was performed using the criterion of ≥6 months from the last day of first-line platinum therapy until recurrence/progression. Cases determined to be platinum-sensitive were subjected to immunohistochemical staining, genomic analyses using target sequencing (i.e. NCC Oncopanel) and homologous recombination deficiency (myChoice® HRD Plus) assays. RESULTS Of the 53 stage III-IV ovarian clear cell carcinoma cases, 11 (21%) were platinum-sensitive. These cases showed better progression-free and overall survival than platinum-resistant cases (hazard ratio = 0.16, P < 0.001). Among the seven sensitive cases whose tumour tissues were available for molecular profiling, five were pure ovarian clear cell carcinoma based on pathological and genetic features, whereas the remaining two cases were re-diagnosed as high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. The pure ovarian clear cell carcinomas lacked BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, consistent with the absence of the homologous recombination deficiency phenotype, whereas two cases (40%) had ATM mutations. By contrast, the two high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma cases had BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations associated with the homologous recombination deficiency phenotype. CONCLUSION The subset of platinum-sensitive ovarian clear cell carcinomas includes a majority with pure ovarian clear cell carcinoma features that lack the homologous recombination deficiency phenotype.

Abstract
Introduction Robot-assisted surgery is spreading across surgical specialities as a less invasive alternative to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery. Case presentation In this report, robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy and robot-assisted nephroureterectomy were performed simultaneously for a 69-year-old Japanese female with giant cervical polyp and ureteral cancer. All specimens could be removed from the vagina. The operative time was 379 min, the estimated intraoperative blood loss was 29 mL, and the patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day without complications. Conclusion We reported our experience with simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been shown to be effective at reducing mortality for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer but is not widely used in practice. METHODS: We performed the Intraperitoneal Therapy for Ovarian Cancer with Carboplatin (iPocc) trial as an open-label, international, multi-institutional, randomized phase 2/3 clinical trial in women with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent laparotomy or laparoscopy. All patients received intravenous paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle). In addition, patients in the control group received intravenous carboplatin (dose-dense intravenous paclitaxel plus intravenous carboplatin [dd-TCiv]), whereas patients in the experimental group received dose-dense intravenous paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal carboplatin (dd-TCip). The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival, tumor response, treatment completion rate, and incidence of adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: Among 655 patients randomized to treatment, median (95% confidence interval [CI]) PFS was 20.7 (18.1 to 22.8) months for dd-TCiv (n=328) and 23.5 (20.5 to 26.9) months for dd-TCip (n=327; hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.99; P=0.04). The PFS benefit with dd-TCip was consistent in patients with different baseline characteristics, stage, size of residual tumor, age, and performance status. The treatment completion rates were 68.3 and 59.9% in the dd-TCiv and dd-TCip groups, respectively. The incidence of intraperitoneal catheter-related AEs in the dd-TCip group was 10.1%; there were no such AEs in the dd-TCiv group. CONCLUSIONS: In the first-line treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, intraperitoneal carboplatin resulted in a modest prolongation of PFS when given with dose-dense weekly paclitaxel regardless of residual tumor size, with no impact on noncatheter-related toxicities.

A new endoscopic scoring system corresponding to histological healing using linked color imaging in ulcerative colitis: the SOUL study. Endosc Int Open 2023; 11:E504-E512. [PMID: 37206692 PMCID: PMC10191738 DOI: 10.1055/a-2067-8943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and study aims An important therapeutic aim in ulcerative colitis (UC) is endoscopic remission. Although an endoscopic score with white light imaging (WLI) is mainly used to evaluate endoscopic findings, the usefulness of linked color imaging (LCI) has been reported. We evaluated the relationship between LCI and histopathological findings and attempted to establish a new LCI endoscopic evaluation index for UC. Patients and methods This study was conducted at Kyorin University, Kyoto Prefectural University, and Fukuoka University Chikushi Hospital. Ninety-two patients with a Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) ≤ 1 who underwent colonoscopy for UC in clinical remission were included. LCI index was defined as redness (R) (Grade 0-2), area of inflammation (A) (Grade 0-3), and lymphoid follicles (L) (Grade 0-3). Histological healing was defined as Geboes score < 2B.1. Endoscopic and histopathological scores were determined by central judgment. Results In 92 patients, 85 biopsies from the sigmoid colon and 84 biopsies from the rectum (total 169 biopsies) were evaluated. There were 22, 117, and 30 cases of Grades 0, 1, and 2, respectively in LCI index-R; 113, 34, 17, and five cases of Grades 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, in LCI index-A; and 124, 27, 14, and four cases of Grades 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, in LCI index-L. Histological healing was achieved in 84.0 % of the cases (142 of 169), and there were significant associations with histological healing or non-healing in LCI index-R ( P = 0.013) and A ( P = 0.0014). Conclusions A new LCI index is useful for predicting histological healing in UC patients with MES ≤ 1 and clinical remission.

Abstract
The development of new treatments for gynecological malignancies has been conducted mainly through collaborative international phase III trials led by the United States and Europe. The survival outcomes of many gynecological malignancies have greatly improved as a result. Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies have revealed that drug efficacy and adverse event profiles are not always uniform. Thus, it is important to validate new treatment options in each country to safely and efficiently provide newly developed treatment options to patients with gynecological malignancies. The Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group (JGOG) is conducting 5 cohort studies (JGOG 3026, 3027, 3028, 3030, and 3031) to establish real-world data (RWD) of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor use in patients with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. The RWD constructed will be used to provide newly developed PARP inhibitors for women with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer in a safer and more efficient manner as well as to develop further treatment options. In 2022, The JGOG, Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group, Chinese Gynecologic Cancer Society, and Taiwanese Gynecologic Oncology Group established the East Asian Gynecologic Oncology Trial Group to collaborate with East Asian countries in clinical research on gynecologic malignancies and disseminate new knowledge on gynecologic malignancies from Asia. The JGOG will conduct a collaborative integrated analysis of the RWD generated from Asian countries and disseminate real-world clinical knowledge regarding new treatment options that have been clinically implemented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy after Type 3 radical hysterectomy, focusing on non-hematologic toxicity. METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2017, 236 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer Stages IB1-II (FIGO2008) and who had undergone Type 3 radical hysterectomy at the Jikei Medical University School-related four hospitals were included. Of these 236 patients, 134 had undergone adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy after Type 3 radical hysterectomy (radical hysterectomy + concurrent chemoradiotherapy group), and 102 received no adjuvant therapy after Type 3 radical hysterectomy (radical hysterectomy group). The frequency of non-hematologic toxicities, especially lymphedema, pelvic infection, renal dysfunction, ileus and diarrhea, was investigated in the radical hysterectomy + concurrent chemoradiotherapy and radical hysterectomy groups using univariate and multivariate analyses. In these analyses, age, extent of lymph node dissection and preoperative clinical stage were included as risk factors for five complications. The risk factors for grade ≤ 2 adverse events were statistically evaluated. RESULTS The frequency of lower extremity lymphedema (22 vs. 10%), renal dysfunction (13 vs. 3%), and diarrhea (13 vs. 0%) was significantly higher in the radical hysterectomy + CRRT group than that in the radical hysterectomy group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy significantly affected the occurrence of grade ≥ 2 lymphedema (P < 0.01) and renal dysfunction (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Concurrent chemoradiotherapy after Type 3 radical hysterectomy is associated with a higher incidence of renal dysfunction, lower extremity lymphedema and diarrhea. A more appropriate adjuvant therapy needs to be established.

Abstract
Background/Aims Image-enhanced endoscopy can detect superficial oro-hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma; however, reliable endoscopy of the pharyngeal region is challenging. Endoscopy under general anesthesia during transoral surgery occasionally reveals multiple synchronous lesions that remained undetected on preoperative endoscopy. Therefore, we aimed to determine the lesion detection capability of endoscopy under general anesthesia for superficial oro-hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods This retrospective study included 63 patients who underwent transoral surgery for superficial oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma between April 2005 and December 2020. The primary endpoint was to compare the lesion detection capabilities of preoperative endoscopy and endoscopy under general anesthesia. Other endpoints included the comparison of clinicopathological findings between lesions detected using preoperative endoscopy and those newly detected using endoscopy under general anesthesia. Results 58 patients (85 lesions) were analyzed. The mean number of lesions per patient detected was 1.17 for preoperative endoscopy and 1.47 for endoscopy under general anesthesia. Endoscopy under general anesthesia helped detect more lesions than preoperative endoscopy did (p<0.001, paired t-test). The lesions that were newly detected on endoscopy under general anesthesia were small and characterized by few changes in color and surface ruggedness. Conclusions Endoscopy under general anesthesia for superficial squamous cell carcinoma is helpful for detecting multiple synchronous lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Patients with incomplete gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) have a higher risk of gastric cancer (GC) than those with complete GIM. We aimed to clarify whether micromucosal patterns of GIM in magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) were useful for diagnosis of incomplete GIM. METHODS We enrolled patients with a history of endoscopic resection of GC or detailed inspection for suspicious or definite GC. The antrum greater curvature and corpus lesser curvature were regions of interest. Areas with endoscopic findings of light blue crest and/or white opaque substance (WOS) were defined as endoscopic GIM, and subsequent M-NBI was applied. Micromucosal patterns were classified into Foveola and Groove types, and targeted biopsies were performed on GIM with each pattern. GIM was classified into complete and incomplete types using mucin (MUC)2, MUC5AC, MUC6, and CD10 immunohistochemical staining. The primary endpoint was the association between micromucosal pattern and histological subtype. The secondary endpoint was endoscopic findings associated with incomplete GIM. RESULTS We analyzed 98 patients with 156 GIMs. Univariate analysis (odds ratio [OR] 3.4, P = 0.004), but not multivariate analysis (OR 0.87, P = 0.822), demonstrated a significant association between micromucosal pattern and subtype. The antrum (OR 3.7, P = 0.006) and WOS (OR 43, P = 0.002) were independent predictors for incomplete GIM. The WOS had 69% sensitivity and 93% specificity. CONCLUSIONS The M-NBI micromucosal pattern is not useful for diagnosis of GIM subtype. WOS is a promising endoscopic indicator for diagnosis of incomplete GIM. (UMIN-CTR000041119).
