Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) carries a poor prognosis and the evidence base for surgical resection of metastases remains limited. The aim of this study was to establish the survival outcomes for patients undergoing metastasectomy for anal SCC. METHODS A systematic review was performed using the MEDLINE®, Embase®, Cochrane and PubMed® databases. Studies were considered for inclusion in the review if they involved patients aged >18 years with a diagnosis of stage IV anal SCC who underwent metastasectomy for liver and/or lung metastases. The primary outcome measure was overall survival. Secondary outcome measures were disease free survival, early morbidity according to the Clavien-Dindo classification and quality of life, measured using a validated scoring tool. Risk of bias was assessed with the ROBINS-I (Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions) tool. RESULTS There were 10 studies with a total of 98 patients. There was heterogeneity in results reporting, with recurrence free survival the most reported outcome. For all studies reporting on liver metastasectomy, the one-year overall survival rate was 87%. In studies with adequate follow-up reported, the three and five-year overall survival rates were 53% and 38% respectively. Only one study reported on lung metastasectomy patients; the overall median survival was 24 months. None of the studies reported on quality of life measures. The ROBINS-I tool identified a critical risk of bias in six studies, a serious risk in one study and a moderate risk in three studies. CONCLUSIONS The evidence base for metastasectomy in metastatic anal SCC is limited. Further information is required to inform future treatment methods and use of a standardised outcomes reporting method is needed to support this.

Definitive Chemoradiation Associated with Improved Survival Outcomes in Patients with Synchronous Oligometastatic Esophageal Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15092523. [PMID: 37173988 PMCID: PMC10177457 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15092523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of oligometastatic esophageal cancer (EC) is relatively new. Preliminary data suggests that more aggressive treatment regimens in select patients may improve survival rates in oligometastatic EC. However, the consensus recommends palliative treatment. We hypothesized that oligometastatic esophageal cancer patients treated with a definitive approach (chemoradiotherapy [CRT]) would have improved overall survival (OS) compared to those treated with a purely palliative intent and historical controls. METHODS Patients diagnosed with synchronous oligometastatic (any histology, ≤5 metastatic foci) esophageal cancer treated in a single academic hospital were retrospectively analyzed and divided into definitive and palliative treatment groups. Definitive CRT was defined as radiation therapy to the primary site with ≥40 Gy and ≥2 cycles of chemotherapy. RESULTS Of 78 Stage IVB (AJCC 8th ed.) patients, 36 met the pre-specified oligometastatic definition. Of these, 19 received definitive CRT, and 17 received palliative treatment. With a median follow-up of 16.5 months (Range: 2.3-95.0 months), median OS for definitive CRT and palliative groups were 90.2 and 8.1 months (p < 0.01), translating into 5-year OS of 50.5% (95%CI: 32.0-79.8%) vs. 7.5% (95%CI: 1.7-48.9%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Oligometastatic EC patients treated with definitive CRT benefited from that approach with survival rates (50.5%) that vastly exceeded historical standards of 5% at 5 years for metastatic EC. Oligometastatic EC patients treated with definitive CRT had significantly improved OS compared to those treated with palliative-only intent within our cohort. Notably, definitively treated patients were generally younger and with better performance status versus those palliatively treated. Further prospective evaluation of definitive CRT for oligometastatic EC is warranted.

Long-Term Disease Control After locoregional Pelvic Chemoradiation in Patients with Advanced Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Front Oncol 2022; 12:918271. [PMID: 35936677 PMCID: PMC9354951 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.918271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The incidence of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) is increasing. Even if systemic docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-Fluorouracil (DCF) provide a high rate of long-term remission, the role of pelvic chemoradiation (CRT) is unknown in this setting. We reported the safety and efficacy of local CRT in patients with synchronous metastatic SCCA who achieved objective response after upfront DCF. Methods Patients included in Epitopes HPV01 or Epitopes HPV02 or SCARCE trials and treated with DCF followed by pelvic CRT were included. Concurrent chemotherapy was based on mitomycin (MMC) (10 mg/m² for two cycles) and fluoropyrimidine (capecitabine 825 mg/m² twice a day at each RT treatment day or two cycles of intra-venous 5FU 1000 mg/m² from day 1 to day 4). Primary endpoints were safety, local complete response rate, and local progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were PFS, overall survival (OS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS). Results From 2013 to 2018, 16 patients received DCF followed by a complementary pelvic CRT for advanced SCCA. Median follow-up was 42 months [range, 11-71]. All patients received the complete radiation dose. Compliance to concurrent CT was poor. Overall, 13/15 of the patients (87%) had at least one grade 1-2 acute toxicity and 11/15 of the patients (73%) had at least one grade 3-4 toxicity. There was no treatment-related death. The most frequent grade 3-4 adverse effects were neutropenia (36%), dermatitis (40%), and anitis (47%). Eleven patients (73%) had at least one chronic grade 1 or 2 toxicity. One patient had a grade 4 chronic rectitis (7%). Complete local response rate was 81% at first evaluation and 62.5% at the end of the follow-up. Median local PFS was not reached and the 3-year local PFS was 77% (95%CI 76.8-77). Conclusions In patients with metastatic SCCA who had a significant objective response after upfront DCF, local CRT was feasible with high complete local response rate. The good local control rate, despite interruptions due to toxicities and low CT compliance, underline the role of pelvic RT. The high rate of toxicity prompts the need to adapt CRT regimen in the metastatic setting.

Abstract
A 50-year-old woman was diagnosed with anal squamous cell carcinoma following a colonoscopy performed for positive test from the National Bowel Screening Programme. During the staging imaging, it was discovered to have a liver lesion that was atypical for metastasis. She underwent a segmental liver resection, and histopathology showed the liver lesion as a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. We aim to discuss the incidence, presentation and management strategies for this rare hepatic metastasis of anal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Anal cancer is a relatively rare, mostly HPV-related cancer. The curative treatment consists of concurrent chemoradiation delivered with modern radiotherapy techniques. The prognosis for most patients with early localized disease is very favourable; however patients with locally advanced disease and/or HPV negative tumours are at higher risk of locoregional and distant treatment failure. Tailored approaches are presently being investigated to determine the most suitable regimen in terms of radiotherapy dose prescription, target volume selection, normal tissue avoidance, and combination therapy. Metastatic anal cancer is treated with chemotherapy aiming at prolonged survival. The role of immune therapy in the clinical setting is being investigated. There is little knowledge on the biology of anal cancer, and an urgent need for more clinical and translational research dedicated to this disease. In this article, the evidence-base for the current treatment is briefly reviewed, and perspectives on future research needs are high-lighted.

Abstract
Background Limited evidence exists to guide the management of patients with liver metastases from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The aim of this retrospective multicentre cohort study was to describe patterns of disease recurrence after liver resection/ablation for SCC liver metastases and factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Method Members of the European–African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association were invited to include all consecutive patients undergoing liver resection/ablation for SCC liver metastases between 2002 and 2019. Patient, tumour and perioperative characteristics were analysed with regard to RFS and OS. Results Among the 102 patients included from 24 European centres, 56 patients had anal cancer, and 46 patients had SCC from other origin. RFS in patients with anal cancer and non-anal cancer was 16 and 9 months, respectively (P = 0.134). A positive resection margin significantly influenced RFS for both anal cancer and non-anal cancer liver metastases (hazard ratio 6.82, 95 per cent c.i. 2.40 to 19.35, for the entire cohort). Median survival duration and 5-year OS rate among patients with anal cancer and non-anal cancer were 50 months and 45 per cent and 21 months and 25 per cent, respectively. For the entire cohort, only non-radical resection was associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio 3.21, 95 per cent c.i. 1.24 to 8.30). Conclusion Liver resection/ablation of liver metastases from SCC can result in long-term survival. Survival was superior in treated patients with liver metastases from anal versus non-anal cancer. A negative resection margin is paramount for acceptable outcome.

Abstract
Background Anal cancer is a rare cancer with chemoradiation being the mainstay of treatment for locoregional presentation. In North America, the most common subtype is anal squamous cell carcinoma (epidermoid). A surgical approach is considered for persistent or recurrent anal disease and systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease. We are presenting a unique case of recurrent anal cancer with isolated peritoneal malignancy, an oligometastatic state which is rare in itself. It was treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. There are currently no clear guidelines for the aforementioned presentation. The discussion drew on the feasibility and safety of this approach. Case presentation A 68-year-old woman diagnosed with an epidermoid anal cancer (stage 3B) was initially treated with chemoradiation therapy (Standard Nigro Protocol) in 2014. At the 5-year mark post-treatment, she was diagnosed with a recurrent anal epidermoid cancer in the form of isolated peritoneal carcinomatosis proven by biopsy. After declining systemic chemotherapy, she underwent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with Mitomycin-C©. Peritoneal carcinomatosis index was evaluated at 10, and intraoperative frozen sections were positive for carcinoma of epidermoid origin compatible with anal cancer. A completeness of cytoreduction score of 0 was achieved during the cytoreductive surgery, and her hospital course was unremarkable. She remains disease-free 12 months later. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting the disease presentation of anal cancer with oligometastatic dissemination to the peritoneum. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy were performed. Thus far, this approach seems to be a safe and feasible option for short-term control of the disease.
