Perianal Fistulizing Crohn's Disease-Associated Anorectal and Fistula Cancers: Systematic Review and Expert Consensus. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024:S1542-3565(24)00504-4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PFCD)-associated anorectal and fistula cancers are rare but often devastating diagnoses. However, given the low incidence and consequent lack of data and clinical trials in the field, there is little to no guidance on screening and management of these cancers. To inform clinical practice, we developed consensus guidelines on PFCD-associated anorectal and fistula cancers by multidisciplinary experts from the international TOpClass consortium. METHODS We conducted a systematic review by standard methodology, using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment tool. We subsequently developed consensus statements using a Delphi consensus approach. RESULTS Of 561 articles identified, 110 were eligible, and 76 articles were included. The overall quality of evidence was low. The TOpClass consortium reached consensus on 6 structured statements addressing screening, risk assessment, and management of PFCD-associated anorectal and fistula cancers. Patients with long-standing (>10 years) PFCD should be considered at small but increased risk of developing perianal cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma of the anus and anorectal carcinoma. Risk factors for squamous cell carcinoma of the anus, notably human papilloma virus, should be considered. New, refractory, or progressive perianal symptoms should prompt evaluation for fistula cancer. There was no consensus on timing or frequency of screening in patients with asymptomatic perianal fistula. Multiple modalities may be required for diagnosis, including an examination under anesthesia with biopsy. Multidisciplinary team efforts were deemed central to the management of fistula cancers. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory bowel disease clinicians should be aware of the risk of PFCD-associated anorectal and fistula cancers in all patients with PFCD. The TOpClass consortium consensus statements outlined herein offer guidance in managing this challenging scenario.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major life-threatening complications in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Previous studies of CD-associated CRC (CD-CRC) have involved only small numbers of patients, and no large series have been reported from Asia. The aim of this study was to clarify the prognosis and clinicopathological features of CD-CRC compared with sporadic CRC. METHODS A large nationwide database was used to identify patients with CD-CRC (n = 233) and sporadic CRC (n = 129,783) over a 40-year period, from 1980 to 2020. Five-year overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and clinicopathological characteristics were investigated. The prognosis of CD-CRC was further evaluated in groups divided by colon cancer and anorectal cancer (RC). Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to adjust for confounding by unbalanced covariables. RESULTS Compared with sporadic cases, patients with CD-CRC were younger; more often had RC, multiple lesions, and mucinous adenocarcinoma; and had lower R0 resection rates. Five-year OS was worse for CD-CRC than for sporadic CRC (53.99% vs 71.17%, P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that CD was associated with significantly poorer survival (hazard ratio 2.36, 95% confidence interval: 1.54-3.62, P < 0.0001). Evaluation by tumor location showed significantly worse 5-year OS and RFS of CD-RC compared with sporadic RC. Recurrence was identified in 39.57% of CD-RC cases and was mostly local. DISCUSSION Poor prognosis of CD-CRC is attributable primarily to RC and high local recurrence. Local control is indispensable to improving prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this systematic review was to assess the literature on the incidence and risk factors for colorectal cancer and anal cancer in patients with perianal Crohn's disease. METHOD A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar. A meta-analysis was then conducted using a random-effect model. RESULTS Five studies were included in the systematic review. Out of all patients, 26.5% had perianal Crohn's Disease. The median follow-up was six years. In total, 127 cases of colorectal cancer were found (0.43% of the included Crohn's disease patients). Perianal involvement was present in 50% of colorectal cancer patients (0.89% of the population). Three of the studies specified the cancer to be rectal or anal, which were present in 68 and 24 cases (0.3% and 0.1% of patients), respectively. In a subgroup analysis of rectal- and anal cancer, perianal involvement was most frequent in anal cancer, accounting for 46% of the cases. In the rectal cancer group, 37% had perianal involvement. The higher incidence of colorectal cancer in patients with perianal Crohn's was confirmed in a meta-analysis. CONCLUSION Half of patients with colorectal cancer and anal cancer were found to have perianal Crohn's. In patients with perianal involvement, there was a higher percentage of anal cancer compared with rectal cancer. These results support the theory that patients with perianal Crohn's are at increased risk for developing colorectal- and anal cancer. Studies, collecting more detailed data about patients and their cancers, are necessary to further specify the disease course.

Mucinous adenocarcinoma in perianal fistula in Crohn's disease: Case report and literature review. Int J Surg Case Rep 2022; 95:107211. [PMID: 35653944 PMCID: PMC9160469 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2022.107211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction and importance Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic bowel disease that, due to exacerbated inflammation, can lead to complications such as the development of perianal fistulas. The development of mucinous adenocarcinoma in perianal fistulas in patients with CD is rare and, consequently, few reports exist in the literature. Case presentation We report the case of a 71-year-old man diagnosed 22 years ago with CD with perineal involvement, who came with complaints of intense perianal pain, a gluteal mass, and local bleeding. Tomography of his abdomen showed an expansive, heterogeneous, and solid perianal mass on the right, with interspersed necrotic/liquefied areas and possible mucinous content. The patient was referred to the surgery department for an incisional biopsy, which confirmed mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent extra levator abdominoperineal rectal resection (APR) with partial prostatectomy. Clinical discussion Perineal mucinous adenocarcinoma arising in a fistula associated with CD is very rare. Since the symptoms overlap, early diagnosis of malignancy is difficult. Histological analysis is the gold standard for its diagnosis. Surgical resection through APR is well-established and, despite being a complex procedure with potential complications, tends to have good results. However, the locoregional and inguinal lymph node involvement was related to a worse progression in this case. Conclusion The diagnostic hypothesis of mucinous adenocarcinoma should be suspected in CD patients who present long-term perineal involvement with fistulas. Biopsies and imaging exams should be performed to aid the diagnosis of the condition and thus contribute to the surgical plan. Mucinous adenocarcinoma in perianal fistulas from CD patients is extremely rare. Magnetic resonance imaging findings help in Mucinous adenocarcinoma diagnosis. Locoregional and inguinal lymph node involvement is related to a worse progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Carcinoma arising from Crohn disease (CD) is rare, and there is no clear guidance on how to properly screen for at-risk patients and choose appropriate care. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, and oncologic outcomes of CD patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Using medical records, we retrospectively enrolled a single-center cohort of 823 patients who underwent abdominal surgery for CD between January 2006 and December 2015. CD-associated CRC patients included those with adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, or neuroendocrine tumors of the colon and rectum. RESULTS Nineteen patients (2.3%) underwent abdominal surgery to treat CD-associated CRC. The mean duration of CD in the CD-associated CRC group was significantly longer than that in the benign CD group (124.7 ± 77.7 months vs. 68.9 ± 60.2 months, P = 0.006). The CD-associated CRC group included a higher proportion of patients with a history of perianal disease (73.7% vs. 50.2%, P = 0.035) and colonic location (47.4% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.001). Among 19 CD-associated CRC patients, 17 (89.5%) were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, and of the 17 cases, 15 (88.2%) were rectal adenocarcinoma. On multivariable analyses for developing CRC, only colonic location was a risk factor (relative risk, 7.735; 95% confidence interval, 2.862-20.903; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Colorectal malignancy is rare among CD patients, even among patients who undergo abdominal surgery. Rectal adenocarcinoma accounted for most of the CRC, and colonic location was a risk factor for developing CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although surveillance colonoscopy is recommended by several guidelines for Crohn's disease (CD), the evidence is insufficient to support the validity of this recommendation. Moreover, the efficacy of surveillance colonoscopy for anorectal cancer remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a systematic review of cancer in patients with CD before considering the proper surveillance methods. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the incidence of intestinal cancer and a literature review to clarify the characteristic features of cancer in CD. We performed the systematic literature review of studies published up to May 2019. RESULTS Overall, 7344 patients were included in eight studies. The standardized incidence ratios (95% confidence intervals) of colorectal cancer (CRC) and small bowel cancer (SBC) were 2.08 (1.43-3.02) and 22.01 (9.10-53.25), respectively. The prevalence of CRC and SBC was 57/7344 (0.77%) and 17/7344 (0.23%), respectively, during a median follow-up of 12.55 years. Additionally, 54 studies reporting 208 anorectal cancer cases were identified. In patients with anorectal cancer, the prognosis for survival was 2.1 ± 2.3 years, and advanced cancer greater than stage T3 occurred in 46/74 patients (62.1%). Many more reports of anorectal cancer were published in Asia than in Western countries. CONCLUSION Although we were unable to state a recommendation for surveillance for SBC, we should perform cancer surveillance for CRC in patients with CD. However, the characteristics of cancer may differ according to geography or race. We must establish proper and effective surveillance methods that are independently suitable to detect these differences.
