Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare post-operative morbidity, mortality, and completeness of resection following endoscopic vs. radical surgical resection for ampullary lesions. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the prospectively collected data from a surgical database for patients with ampullary lesions at our institution was performed. All consecutive patients undergoing endoscopic papillectomy (EP) or pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for ampullary lesions between 2007 and 2021 were eligible for this analysis. RESULTS A total of 85 patients were included of whom 42 underwent EP whereas 43 received a PD. The resected lesion was a tubulovillous adenoma in 26 patients (61.9%) in the EP cohort, and 37 patients (86.0%) in the PD cohort had adenocarcinomas. The completeness of resection was equal in both cohorts. Significantly more patients of the PD cohort had to undergo reinterventions. After a mean follow up of 36 months (EP) vs. 16 months (PD), the rate of tumor recurrence did not differ between both groups. CONCLUSION Equivalently high completeness of resection rates and correspondingly low recurrence rates can be achieved after EP and PD. Our results regarding residual tumor and recurrence rates show that even large tumors can be resected endoscopically with high primary success and completeness of resection rates.

Development and Validation of a New Lymph Node Ratio-Based Staging System for Ampullary Carcinoma After Curative Pancreaticoduodenectomy. Front Oncol 2022; 11:811595. [PMID: 35127524 PMCID: PMC8810493 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.811595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is closely associated with the prognosis of ampullary carcinoma (AC). The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between lymph node ratio (LNR) and the prognosis of patients with AC after curative pancreaticoduodenectomy and to establish a new LNR-based staging system. Methods AC patients in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, between 1998 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed as the training cohort; and AC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2018 were obtained as the validation cohort. Within the training group, Kaplan–Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards regression were conducted to assess the prognostic value of LNR and establish a new LNR-based staging system. Then, the new staging system was compared with the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging system in both the training and validation cohorts. Results A total of 264 patients in the training cohort and 199 patients in the validation cohort were enrolled. Significant overall survival (OS) difference was observed between LNR-low stage and LNR-high stage in both training (p = 0.001) and validation cohorts (p < 0.001). Then a new LNR-based staging system was developed. Under the new system, the number of patients in the training cohort and validation cohort of stage I, stage II, and stage III was 30 (11%) vs. 18 (9%), 190 (72%) vs. 96 (48%), and 44 (17%) vs. 85 (43%), respectively. The new staging system classified patients with respect to survival better than did the 8th AJCC TNM staging system. Conclusions The new LNR-based staging system had better discriminability for predicting survival in AC patients after curative pancreaticoduodenectomy. More data are needed for further validation.

Substaging Nodal Status in Ampullary Carcinomas has Significant Prognostic Value: Proposed Revised Staging Based on an Analysis of 313 Well-Characterized Cases. Ann Surg Oncol 2015; 22:4392-401. [PMID: 25783680 PMCID: PMC4575255 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-015-4499-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2014] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current nodal staging (N-staging) of ampullary carcinoma in the TNM staging system distinguishes between node-negative (N0) and node-positive (N1) disease but does not consider the metastatic lymph node (LN) number. METHODS Overall, 313 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for ampullary adenocarcinoma were categorized as N0, N1 (1-2 metastatic LNs), or N2 (≥3 metastatic LNs), as proposed by Kang et al. Clinicopathological features and overall survival (OS) of the three groups were compared. RESULTS The median number of LNs examined was 11, and LN metastasis was present in 142 cases (45 %). When LN-positive cases were re-classified according to the proposed staging system, 82 were N1 (26 %) and 60 were N2 (19 %). There was a significant correlation between proposed N-stage and lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, increased tumor size (each p < 0.001), and surgical margin positivity (p = 0.001). The median OS in LN-negative cases was significantly longer than that in LN-positive cases (107.5 vs. 32 months; p < 0.001). Patients with N1 and N2 disease had median survivals of 40 and 24.5 months, respectively (p < 0.0001). In addition, 1-, 3-, and 5-year survivals were 88, 76, 62 %, respectively, for N0; 90, 55, 31.5 %, respectively, for N1; and 68, 34, 30 %, respectively for N2 (p < 0.001). Even with multivariate modeling, the association between higher proposed N stage and shorter survival persisted (hazard ratio 1.6 for N1 and 1.9 for N2; p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS Classification of nodal status in ampullary carcinomas based on the number of metastatic LNs has a significant prognostic value. A revised N-staging classification system should be incorporated into the TNM staging of ampullary cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ampullary adenocarcinoma is considered to have a better prognosis than either pancreatic or bile duct adenocarcinoma. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Some recent publications have advocated the use of endoscopic papillectomy for the treatment of early ampullary adenocarcinoma. This article reviews investigations and surgical treatment options of ampullary tumours. METHODS A systematic review of English-language articles was carried out using an electronic search of the Ovid MEDLINE (from 1996 onwards), PubMed and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases to identify studies related to the investigation and management of ampullary tumours. RESULTS Distinguishing between ampullary adenoma and adenocarcinoma is challenging given the inaccuracy of endoscopic biopsy, for which high false negative rates of 25-50% have been reported. Endoscopic ultrasound is the most accurate method for local staging of ampullary lesions, but distinguishing between T1 and T2 adenocarcinomas is difficult. Lymph node metastasis occurs early in the disease process; it is lowest for T1 tumours, but the risk is still high at 8-45%. Case reports of successful endoscopic resection and transduodenal ampullectomy of T1 adenocarcinomas have been published, but their duration of follow-up is limited. CONCLUSIONS Optimal staging should be used to distinguish between ampullary adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Pancreaticoduodenectomy remains the treatment of choice for all ampullary adenocarcinomas.

A high positive lymph node ratio is associated with distant recurrence after surgical resection of ampullary carcinoma. J Gastrointest Surg 2012; 16:2056-63. [PMID: 22914983 PMCID: PMC5131719 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-012-2015-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2012] [Accepted: 08/14/2012] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND For ampullary carcinoma (AC), the lymph node ratio (LNR) has been associated with overall survival. However, the use of the LNR to predict distant recurrence risk remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if the LNR is associated with distant recurrence risk. METHODS One hundred forty three patients with AC who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 1989 and 2011 were identified from a single-institution prospective database. Data on clinicopathologic factors and recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 43 months (62 months for survivors), 55 patients (38 %) had developed recurrent disease, with a median time to recurrence of 13 months. Patients with a LNR ≥ 0.15 were more likely to have T3/4 tumors, advanced stage lymphovascular (LVI), or perineural invasion (PNI) and develop recurrent disease. Univariate analysis demonstrated that T-stage, lymph node status, AJCC stage, LVI, PNI, and LNR were significantly associated with decreased time to distant recurrence (TTDR). In multivariate stepwise regression, only LNR and LVI were significantly associated with decreased TTDR. CONCLUSIONS A high positive LNR is associated with distant recurrence after surgical resection of AC. Given the high risk of disease recurrence, consideration for adjuvant therapy is warranted in patients with a LNR ≥ 0.15.

KOREAN JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SURGERY 2011; 15:171-8. [PMID: 26421035 PMCID: PMC4582543 DOI: 10.14701/kjhbps.2011.15.3.171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2011] [Revised: 07/02/2011] [Accepted: 07/25/2011] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Because of low incidence rates, there have been few reports on the patterns of and risk factors for recurrence after curative resection of the ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer. The aim of this study was to characterize patterns of recurrence and to evaluate risk factors affecting survival rates and recurrence after curative resection. Methods Medical records of 181 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy with curative intent for AoV adenocarcinoma between December 1994 and March 2010 at Samsung Medical Center were retrospectively reviewed. Factors influencing on overall survival rate, recurrence rates, and recurrence patterns were analyzed. Results Lymph node metastases and high preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level >5 ng/ml were identified as independent factors affecting overall survival (p=0.006, p<0.001, respectively). Among the 181 patients, 69 developed local or distant recurrence within 3 years after curative resection. Lymph node metastasis, preoperative serum CEA level >5 ng/ml, and total bilirubin level >1.5 mg/dl were identified as independent prognostic factors of recurrence after curative resection (p=0.008, p<0.001, p=0.003, respectively). Conclusions AoV adenocarcinoma has a better prognosis than other periampullary carcinomas, but still has a high recurrence rate, especially during the first three years after curative radical resection. Therefore, careful follow-up is needed during the first 3 years, especially for the higher risk group. Further study of adjuvant therapy to decrease recurrence after curative resection is now warranted.
