Abstract
BACKGROUND Major complications (MCs) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are a known independent predictor of worse oncologic outcomes. There are limited data on the effect of major complications on long-term outcomes after robotic PD (RPD). The aim of this study is to compare the effect of MC on overall (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after RPD and open PD (OPD). METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of all patients undergoing PD for periampullary cancer including ampullary adenocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, and duodenal carcinoma. Univariate analysis was performed on all clinical, pathologic, and treatment factors. MCs were defined as Clavien-Dindo ≥ grade 3. Kaplan-Maier survival analysis was performed with log-rank test for group comparison. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with overall survival (OS) in both the OPD and RPD groups. RESULTS A total of 190 patients with ampullary carcinoma (n = 98), cholangiocarcinoma (n = 55), and duodenal adenocarcinoma (n = 37) were examined over the study period with 61.1% (n = 116) undergoing RPD and 38.9% (n = 74) undergoing OPD. There was no significant difference in patient demographics between the RPD and OPD cohorts. Furthermore, R0 resection rates, tumor size, and lymph node involvement were similar between the RPD and OPD cohorts. OPD had higher rate of MC (40.5% vs 28.3% in RPD, p = 0.011) including clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (25.7% vs 8.6%, p = 0.001) and wound infection (34.5% vs 13.8%, p < 0.001). MCs were associated with a lower OS in the OPD cohort (HR = 2.18, 95%CI 1.0-4.55, p = 0.038). MCs were not associated with OS in the RPD cohort (HR = 1.55, 95%CI 0.87-2.76, p = 0.14). CONCLUSION MCs are associated with worse patient outcomes after OPD but not after RPD. Robotic approach mitigates and possibly abrogates the negative effects of MCs on patient outcomes after PD for malignancy and is associated with improved adjuvant chemotherapy completion rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the outcome after resection for distal bile duct cancer (DBC) with focus on the impact of microscopic histopathological resection status R0 (>1 mm) versus R1 (≤1 mm) vs R1 (direct). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA DBC is a rare disease for which oncologic resection offers the only chance of cure. METHODS Prospectively collected data of consecutive patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for DBC were analyzed. Histopathological resection status was classified according to the Leeds protocol for pancreatic ductal adeno carcinoma (PDAC) (PDAC; R0 >1 mm margin clearance vs R1 ≤1 mm vs R1 direct margin involvement). RESULTS A total of 196 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for DBC. Microscopic complete tumor clearance (R0>1 mm) was achieved in 113 patients (58%). Median overall survival (OS) of the entire cohort was 37 months (5- and 10-year OS rate: 40% and 31%, respectively). After R0 resection, median OS increased to 78 months with a 5-year OS rate of 52%. Negative prognostic factors were age >70 years ( P < 0.0001, hazard ratio (HR) 2.48), intraoperative blood loss >1000 mL ( P = 0.0009, HR 1.99), pN1 and pN2 status ( P = 0.0052 and P = 0.0006, HR 2.14 and 2.62, respectively) and American Society of Anesthesiologists score >II ( P = 0.0259, HR 1.61). CONCLUSIONS This is the largest European single-center study of surgical treatment for DBC and the first to investigate the prognostic impact of the revised PDAC resection status definition in DBC. The results show that this definition is valid in DBC and that "true" R0 resection (>1 mm) is a key factor for excellent survival. In contrast to PDAC, there was no survival difference between R1 (≤1 mm) and R1 (direct).

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the consistencies and inconsistencies between distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCCA) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDCA) regarding their biological features and long-term prognosis. Methods PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched to find comparative studies between DCCA and PDCA. RevMan5.3 and Stata 13.0 software were used for the statistical analyses. Results Eleven studies with 4,698 patients with DCCA and 100,629 patients with PDCA were identified. Pooled results indicated that patients with DCCA had a significantly higher rate of preoperative jaundice (p = 0.0003). Lymphatic metastasis (p < 0.00001), vascular invasion (p < 0.0001), and peri-neural invasion (p = 0.005) were more frequently detected in patients with PDCA. After curative pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), a significantly higher R0 rate (p < 0.0001) and significantly smaller tumor size (p < 0.00001) were detected in patients with DCCA. Patients with DCCA had a more favorable overall survival (OS) (p < 0.00001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.005) than patients with PDCA. However, postoperative morbidities (p = 0.02), especially postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (p < 0.00001), more frequently occurred in DCCA. Conclusion Patients with DCCA had more favorable tumor pathological features and long-term prognosis than patients with PDCA. An early diagnosis more frequently occurred in patients with DCCA. However, postoperative complications, especially POPF, were more frequently observed in patients with DCCA.

Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver cancer and causes major economic and health burdens throughout the world. Although the incidence of ICC is relatively low, an upward trend has been seen over the past few decades. Owing to the lack of specific manifestations and tools for early diagnosis, most ICC patients have relatively advanced disease at diagnosis. Thus, neoadjuvant therapy is necessary to evaluate tumor biology and downstage these patients so that appropriate candidates can be selected for radical liver resection. However, even after radical resection, the recurrence rate is relatively high and is a main cause leading to death after surgery, which makes adjuvant therapy necessary. Because of its low incidence, studies in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings of ICC are lagging compared with other types of malignancy. While standard neoadjuvant and adjuvant regimens are not available in the current guidelines due to a lack of high-level evidence, some progress has been achieved in recent years. In this review, the available literature on advances in neoadjuvant and adjuvant strategies in ICC are evaluated, and possible challenges and opportunities for clinical and translational investigations in the near future are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between surveillance and adjuvant therapy (AT) groups after R0 resection for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). METHODS A total of 154 patients who underwent R0 resection for CCA at the Daegu Catholic University Medical Center between January 2010 and December 2019 were included. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 899 days. There were 109 patients in the AT group and 45 patients in the surveillance group. The patients in the AT group were younger (67 years vs. 74 years, p<0.001) and included more males (64.2% vs. 46.7%, p=0.044). The proportion of patients with stage III CCA was larger in the AT group than in the surveillance group (13.8% vs. 2.2%, p=0.005). In addition, AT did not improve OS (5-year OS rate, 69.3% in the AT group vs. 64.2% in the surveillance group, p=0.806) or PFS (5-year PFS rate, 42.6% in the AT group vs. 48.9% in the surveillance group, p=0.113). In multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model, stage III CCA (hazard ratio [HR], 10.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.92-40.00; p<0.001) was a significant predictor of OS. American Society of Anesthesiologists classification II (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.31-0.81; p=0.005), and American Joint Committee on Cancer stages II (HR, 3.14; 95% CI, 1.25-7.89; p=0.015) and III (HR, 8.08; 95% CI, 2.80-23.32; p<0.001) were independent predictors of PFS. CONCLUSION AT after R0 resection for CCA did not improve OS or PFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphatic metastasis is a major route of metastasis in distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC). The present study aimed to elucidate the pattern of lymph node (LN) metastasis and the effectiveness of LN dissection and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with DCC. METHODS Patients who underwent surgical resection with curative intent for DCC were enrolled. The nomenclature of the LN stations was defined according to the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery guidelines. Effectiveness of LN dissection of each station was calculated using frequency of LN metastasis to the station and 5-year survival rate of patients with LN metastasis to that station. RESULTS Of the 105 patients included in the study, 46 (43.8%) had LN metastasis, and 43 (41.0%) underwent postoperative adjuvant therapy. LN metastasis, serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 level > 37 U/mL, and positive bile duct margin were independent risk factors for shorter overall survival (OS). The most common metastatic LN station at surgery was No. 13 (32.7%), followed by No. 12 (19.2%), No. 17 (9.6%), and No. 8 (6.6%). There was no effectiveness of LN dissection of the station No. 8, 14, and 16. Adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly associated with longer OS in patients with LN metastasis but not in those with positive ductal margins or serum CA 19-9 level > 37 U/mL. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a better prognosis in patients with DCC and LN metastasis. However, a more effective therapeutic strategy is required to improve the prognosis of patients with other negative prognostic factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the benefits of adjuvant therapy in patients with resected biliary tract cancer (BTC) and identify the optimal adjuvant treatment scheme. DESIGN Systematic review and network meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Studies comparing different adjuvant therapies in patients with BTC were searched in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception to December 2021. Additionally, the references were manually searched for the related literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eligible studies were identified, and data were extracted independently by two authors. A random-effects network meta-analysis was performed using R software. The pooled outcomes of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were measured using the combined HRs with 95% CIs. RESULTS Nineteen eligible studies reporting three types of adjuvant therapies were included in our network meta-analysis. Adjuvant radiotherapy (ART, HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.42 to 0.93), adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (ACRT; HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.83) and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT; HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.68 to 0.98) were more effective in prolonging OS than that of observation, with no significant difference between the three adjuvant therapies. Moreover, the improvement in DFS was also found in ACRT and ACT compared with that of observation (HR 0.60; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.75; HR 0.82; 95% CI 0.68 to 0.97, respectively). Furthermore, ACRT obtained a slightly better DFS benefit compared with that of ACT (HR 0.73; 95% CI 0.53 to 0.95). CONCLUSIONS Our primary results demonstrated that, compared with that of observation, ACRT and ACT after radical resection could provide better OS and DFS benefits in patients with BTC. However, ART only showed improvement in OS, but not in DFS. Due to the lack of head-to-head studies of ACT, ACRT and ART, the above results need to be further verified by prospective randomised controlled trials.

Abstract
Background The metastatic status of regional lymph nodes is an effective risk factor for the prognosis of distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA). But existing lymph node staging is not accurate enough and is susceptible to interference. This study aims to explore the predictive ability of the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) staging system of dCCA compared with existing lymph node staging systems. Methods A total of 928 dCCA patients were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database as the training cohort, and 207 dCCA patients from West China Hospital who underwent surgery were reviewed as the validation cohort. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox regression were conducted to identify the most meaningful factors relevant to prognosis. The performance of four lymph node stage systems was compared by a model-based approach. Result Age at diagnosis, pathological grade, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor 7th T stage, tumor size, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and lymph node stage system were independent prognostic factors. The model with the LODDS system had a better model fit with the highest C-index (0.679) and 1-/3-/5- area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (0.739/0.671/0.658) as well as the lowest Akaike information criterion (AIC) (5,020.52). External validation results from 207 dCCA patients showed a C-index of 0.647 and 1-/3-/5-AUC of 0.740/0.683/0.589. Compared with the lymph node ratio (LNR), AJCC 8th N system, and 7th N system, the 5-year net reclassification improvement (NRI) of the LODDS system was 0.030 (95% CI: -0.079 to 0.147), 0.042 (95% CI: -0.062 to 0.139), and 0.040 (95% CI: -0.057 to 0.146), respectively. The integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) of LODDS improved compared with the LNR model (0.016; 95% CI: -0.001 to 0.036), AJCC 8th N system (0.020; 95% CI: 0.003-0.037), and AJCC 7th N system (0.019; 95% CI: 0.002-0.036). Decision curve analysis (DCA) also shows a greater net benefit of LODDS. In lymph node-negative patients, LODDS reveals a positive linear relationship with the hazard ratio (HR). The stage capacity of LODDS in a subgroup analysis stratified by examined lymph node number (ELNN) was consistent. Conclusions The LODDS lymph node stage system has superior predictive performance as compared with the LNR, AJCC 7th, and 8th lymph node stage systems. Meanwhile, LODDS has a more detailed staging ability and good stability.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Biliary malignancies, although rare, can be some of the most challenging to manage surgically. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas are resectable if there is no evidence of metastatic disease. These tumors are managed with anatomic resection and portal lymphadenectomy when centrally located or multiple in a single lobe. Non-anatomic resection can be performed for solitary peripheral tumors with minimally invasive techniques. It is not our practice to routinely employ neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to resection of these tumors. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy is utilized at our institution in highly selected patients in the context of an ongoing clinical trial for unresectable tumors. Hilar cholangiocarcinomas, when resectable (i.e., ipsilateral arterial involvement or lack of vascular involvement), are managed with right or left (extended) hepatectomy, caudate resection, and portal lymphadenectomy. Distal cholangiocarcinomas are managed with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not routinely used in our treatment algorithm of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. Nodal involvement and positive margin (R1) resection necessitates adjuvant chemotherapy. Finally, gallbladder carcinoma is managed with radical cholecystectomy, anatomic segment IVb/V resection, and portal lymphadenectomy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is employed routinely amongst patients with T2 or higher tumors and those with positive lymph nodes.

Abstract
To date, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECCA) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) have rarely been compared; therefore, we attempted to learn more about the rates of metastasis and survival in both ICCA and ECCA.Data of patients in the SEER database diagnosed with ICCA or ECCA were extracted to analyse the rate of metastasis and survival. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for metastasis. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare survival rates between ECCA and ICCA.Data from a total of 15,751 patients diagnosed with ICCA or ECCA were extracted to analyse the rate of metastasis. Metastasis was more common in ECCA than ICCA (42.62% vs. 31.46%, P < .05), while ICCA in the T1 stage had a lower rate of metastasis (25.35% vs. 30.61%, P < .05). Age, pathology grade, tumour size, lymph node metastasis and T stage were independent risk factors for metastasis in both ECCA and ICCA. There was an inverse correlation between age and metastasis in both ICCA and ECCA. Moreover, PSM demonstrated that patients with ECCA had a better prognosis than patients with ICCA. Patients with ICCA in the T1 stage had better survival than those with ECCA in the T1 stage.Our study was the first to compare the rates of metastasis and survival between ECCA and ICCA. We observed an inverse association between age and metastasis, that patients with ECCA had a better prognosis than patients with ICCA, and that patients with ECCA in the T1 stage had worse survival than patients with ICCA in the T1 stage.

Lyu S, Wang F, Ren Z, Cao D, He Q. Long-term survival in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma after pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein system resection and reconstruction. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:1917-1924. [PMID: 33871714 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02177-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma is rarely reported because it is a rare disease. We developed a program to evaluate the vascular invasion type, operation procedure, and long-term survival of distal cholangiocarcinoma patients with portal vein invasion. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data for 123 distal cholangiocarcinoma patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2013 and December 2019. Portal vein system invasion was confirmed pathologically in 17 patients. RESULTS Multivariable Cox regression identified tumor differentiation degree, portal vein system invasion, and lymph node metastasis as independent risk factors affecting long-term survival. The 1- and 2-year overall survival rates for patients without and with portal vein system invasion were 79.7% and 58.9%, and 48.6% and 10.8%, respectively. Median overall survival in patients without and with portal vein system invasion was 33 months and 12 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Portal vein system invasion is an important independent risk factor affecting long-term survival in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein system resection and reconstruction did not increase the incidence of perioperative complications or mortality.

The Efficacy of S-1 as Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resected Biliary Tract Carcinoma: A Propensity Score-Matching Analysis. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10050925. [PMID: 33804297 PMCID: PMC7957643 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10050925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Even though S-1 is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, there is no evidence for its use in an adjuvant setting for biliary tract carcinoma (BTC). Patients who underwent surgical treatment for BTC between August 2007 and December 2018 were selected. Propensity score matching was performed between patients who received S-1 as adjuvant chemotherapy (S-1 group) and those who underwent surgical treatment alone (observation group). Of 170 eligible patients, 38 patients were selected in each group after propensity score matching. Among those in the matched cohort, both the median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in the S-1 group were significantly longer than those in the observation group (RFS, 61.2 vs. 13.1 months, p = 0.033; OS, not available vs. 28.2 months, p = 0.003). A multivariate analysis of the OS revealed that perineural invasion and adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors. According to a subgroup analysis of the OS, the S-1 group showed significantly better prognoses than the observation group among patients with perineural invasion (p < 0.001). S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy might improve the prognosis of BTC, especially in patients with perineural invasion.

Intra-pancreatic distal cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a common short and long-term prognosis? Updates Surg 2021; 73:439-450. [PMID: 33486711 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-021-00981-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare histological features, postoperative outcomes, and long-term prognostic factors after pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. From 2005 to 2017, 188 pancreaticoduodenectomies (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma n = 151, distal cholangiocarcinoma n = 37) were included. Postoperative outcomes were compared after matching on pancreatic gland texture and main pancreatic duct size. Matching according to tumor size, lymph node invasion and resection margin was used to compare overall and disease-free survival. Distal cholangiocarcinoma patients had more often "soft" pancreatic gland (P = 0.002) and small size main pancreatic duct (P = 0.001). Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients had larger tumors (P = 0.009), and higher lymph node ratio (P = 0.017). Severe morbidity (P = 0.023) and clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (P = 0.018) were higher in distal cholangiocarcinoma patients. After matching on gland texture and main pancreatic duct diameter, clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was still more frequent in distal cholangiocarcinoma patients (P = 0.007). Tumor size > 20 mm was predictive of impaired overall survival (P = 0.024) and disease-free survival (P = 0.003), tumor differentiation (P = 0.027) was predictive of impaired overall survival. Survival outcomes for distal cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal cholangiocarcinoma were similar after matching patients according to tumor size, lymph node invasion and resection margin. Long-term outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients are similar. Postoperative course is more complicated after pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. After pancreaticoduodenectomy, patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have similar long-term oncological outcomes.

[PMID: 31920396 PMCID: PMC6941596 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s224583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) is a rare malignant tumor, and current treatment methods are also relatively limited. Radical surgery is the only potentially curative method for the long survival time. However, despite undergoing radical resection, prognosis remained poor due to the high recurrence rate and distant metastasis. Therefore, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be offered to patients who have undergone surgery. Unfortunately, the low incidence of this disease has resulted in a lack of high-level evidence to confirm the importance of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. At present, it is still controversial whether adjuvant therapy can prolong the survival of patients after operation, especially patients with negative margins or lymph nodes. Furthermore, standard regimens of adjuvant have not been identified. This review summarizes the currently available evidence of the effect of adjuvant therapy in the management of EHCC. Ultimately, we concluded that adjuvant therapy may improve survival in high-risk (positive margin or lymph node or advanced stage) patients and adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by chemotherapy may be the optimum selection for them. This needs to be verified by randomized prospective clinical trials.
