Residual biliary intraepithelial neoplasia without malignant transformation at resection margin for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma does not require expanded resection: a dual center retrospective study. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:161. [PMID: 38907218 PMCID: PMC11191332 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03395-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Additional resection for invasive cancer at perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) resection margins has become a consensus. However, controversy still exists regarding whether additional resection is necessary for residual biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN). METHOD Consecutive patients with pCCA from two hospitals were enrolled. The incidence and pattern of resection margin BilIN were summarized. Prognosis between patients with negative margins (R0) and BilIN margins were analyzed. Cox regression with a forest plot was used to identify independent risk factors associated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Subgroup analysis was performed based on BilIN features and tumor characteristics. RESULTS 306 pCCA patients receiving curative resection were included. 255 had R0 margins and 51 had BilIN margins. There was no significant difference in OS (P = 0.264) or RFS (P = 0.149) between the two group. Specifically, 19 patients with BilIN at distal bile ducts and 32 at proximal bile ducts. 42 patients showed low-grade BilIN, and 9 showed high-grade. Further analysis revealed no significant difference in long-term survival between different locations (P = 0.354), or between different grades (P = 0.772). Portal vein invasion, poor differentiation and lymph node metastasis were considered independent risk factors for OS and RFS, while BilIN was not. Subgroup analysis showed no significant difference in long-term survival between the lymph node metastasis subgroup, or between the portal vein invasion subgroup. CONCLUSION For pCCA patients underwent curative resection, residual BilIN at resection margin is acceptable. Additional resection is not necessary for such patients to achieve absolute R0 margin.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Reported incidence of extrahepatic bile duct cancer is higher in Asians than in Western populations. Korea, in particular, is one of the countries with the highest incidence rates of extrahepatic bile duct cancer in the world. Although research and innovative therapeutic modalities for extrahepatic bile duct cancer are emerging, clinical guidelines are currently unavailable in Korea. The Korean Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery in collaboration with related societies (Korean Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery Society, Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology, Korean Society of Medical Oncology, Korean Society of Radiation Oncology, Korean Society of Pathologists, and Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine) decided to establish clinical guideline for extrahepatic bile duct cancer in June 2021. Methods Contents of the guidelines were developed through subgroup meetings for each key question and a preliminary draft was finalized through a Clinical Guidelines Committee workshop. Results In November 2021, the finalized draft was presented for public scrutiny during a formal hearing. Conclusions The extrahepatic guideline committee believed that this guideline could be helpful in the treatment of patients.

Clinical impacts of positive intraepithelial neoplasia at pancreatic transection margin in pancreatic cancer surgery. Pancreatology 2024; 24:493-496. [PMID: 38378436 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2024.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The outcomes of patients with intraepithelial neoplasia at the pancreatic transection margin after pancreatic cancer surgery remain unclear. We evaluated the clinical impact of pancreatic transection margin status. METHODS This retrospective observational study included 171 patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between January 2008 and December 2019. Patients were classified into three groups: negative pancreatic transection margin (group N), positive low-grade (group L), and positive high-grade (group H) intraepithelial neoplasia. The clinicopathological findings and prognoses were analyzed for each group. RESULTS There were 140, 14, and 9 patients in groups N, L, and H, respectively. The median age was significantly higher in group H (p = 0.035). There were no significant differences in male ratio, preoperative chemotherapy administration rate, pretreatment tumor markers, operative procedure, operative time, or blood loss. Overall survival and recurrence-free survival were not significantly different; however, the cumulative risk of recurrence in the remnant pancreas was significantly higher in group H (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS Intraepithelial neoplasia at the pancreatic transection margin did not affect overall/recurrence-free survival. As patients with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia at the pancreatic transection margin have an increased risk of recurrence in the remnant pancreas, careful postoperative follow-up is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard procedure for middle-third cholangiocarcinoma (MCC) is pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD); hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy (HPD) is often performed despite its high risk. There is no clear selection guidance for these procedures. METHODS Patients with MCC who underwent HPD or PD were retrospectively evaluated. The conventional PD was modified (mPD) to transect the bile duct beyond or close to the cranial level of the portal bifurcation. RESULTS The mPD group (n = 55) was characterized by older age, shorter operation time, less blood loss, and less frequent complications than were observed in the HPD group (n = 34). The median grossly tumor-free margin of the proximal bile duct (GM) was 13 mm vs 20 mm (P = 0.006). Overall survival did not differ significantly between groups (48% vs 53% at 5 years, P = 0.399). Multivariate analysis identified positive surgical margin as a sole independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 1.89; P = 0.043), which was statistically associated with GM length. Five-year survival for mPD patients with GM ≥15 mm was significantly better than that for those who had GM <15 mm (69% vs 33%, P = 0.011) and comparable to that of HPD patients (53%, P = 0.450). CONCLUSION The mPD may be recommended in patients with MCC, provided that GM ≥15 mm is expected from the preoperative radiological imaging. Otherwise, HPD should be considered.

Survival Comparison of Different Operation Types for Middle Bile Duct Cancer: Bile Duct Resection versus Pancreaticoduodenectomy Considering Complications and Adjuvant Treatment Effects. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:297. [PMID: 38254787 PMCID: PMC10814212 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16020297] [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: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Margin status is one of the most significant prognostic factors after curative surgery for middle bile duct (MBD) cancer. Bile duct resection (BDR) is commonly converted to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to achieve R0 resection. Additionally, adjuvant treatment is actively performed after surgery to improve survival. However, the wider the range of surgery, the higher the chance of complications; this, in turn, makes adjuvant treatment impossible. Nevertheless, no definitive surgical strategy considers the possible complication rates and subsequent adjuvant treatment. We aimed to investigate the appropriate surgical type considering the margin status, complications, and adjuvant treatment in MBD cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2008 to 2017, 520 patients diagnosed with MBD cancer at the Samsung Medical Center were analyzed retrospectively according to the operation type, margin status, complications, and adjuvant treatment. The R1 group was defined as having a carcinoma margin. RESULTS The 5-year survival rate for patients who underwent R0 and R1 resection was 54.4% and 33.3%, respectively (p = 0.131). Prognostic factors affecting the overall survival were the age, preoperative CA19-9 level, T stage, and N stage, but not the operation type, margin status, complications, or adjuvant treatment. The complication rates were 11.5% and 29.8% in the BDR and PD groups, respectively (p < 0.001). We observed no significant difference in the adjuvant treatment ratio according to complications (p = 0.675). Patients with PD who underwent R0 resection and could not undergo chemotherapy because of complications reported better survival rates than those with BDR who underwent R1 resection after adjuvant treatment (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION The survival outcome of patients with R1 margins who underwent BDR did not match those with R0 margins after PD, even after adjuvant treatment. Due to improvements in surgical techniques and the ability to resolve complications, surgical complications exert a marginal effect on survival. Therefore, surgeons should secure R0 margins to achieve the best survival outcomes.

Abstract
These guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) were commissioned by the British Society of Gastroenterology liver section. The guideline writing committee included a multidisciplinary team of experts from various specialties involved in the management of CCA, as well as patient/public representatives from AMMF (the Cholangiocarcinoma Charity) and PSC Support. Quality of evidence is presented using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) format. The recommendations arising are to be used as guidance rather than as a strict protocol-based reference, as the management of patients with CCA is often complex and always requires individual patient-centred considerations.

Different Oncologic Outcomes According to Margin Status (High-Grade Dysplasia vs. Carcinoma) in Patients Who Underwent Hilar Resection for Mid-Bile Duct Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5166.

Abstract
Margin positivity after hilar resection (HR) for bile duct cancer is commonly observed due to its longitudinal spread along the subepithelial plane; nevertheless, we cannot draw conclusions regarding the prognostic effects of margins with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or carcinoma. We aimed to investigate the oncologic effect according to the margin status after HR, particularly between the R1 HGD and the R1 carcinoma. From 2008 to 2017, 149 patients diagnosed with mid-bile duct cancer in Samsung Medical Center, South Korea, were divided according to margin status after HR and retrospectively analyzed. Recurrence patterns were also analyzed between the groups. There were 126 patients with R0 margins, nine with R1 HGD, and 14 with R1 carcinoma. The mean age of the patients was 68.3 (±8.1); most patients were male. The mean age was higher in R1 carcinoma patients than in R1 HGD and R0 patients (p = 0.014). The R1 HGD and R1 carcinoma groups had more patients with a higher T-stage than R0 (p = 0.079). In univariate analysis, the prognostic factors affecting overall survival were age, T- and N-stage, CA19-9, and margin status. The survival rate of R0 was comparable to that of R1 HGD, but the survival rate of R0 was significantly better compared to R1 carcinoma (R0 vs. R1 HGD, p = 0.215, R0 vs. R1 carcinoma, p = 0.042, respectively). The recurrence pattern between the margin groups did not differ significantly (p = 0.604). Extended surgery should be considered for R1 carcinoma; however, in R1 HGD, extended operation may not be necessary, as it may achieve oncologic outcomes similar to R0 margins with HR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgeries are one of the most challenging and complex procedures. Intraoperative frozen section (IFS) diagnosis plays a pivotal role in management decisions. Comprehensive large cohort studies evaluating utility of IFS in HPB malignancies are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of frozen section analysis and to analyse discrepancies and impact of IFS on the surgical decisions. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of IFS received for the HPB specimens between years 2009 and 2021. The results were compared to the permanent sections to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Indications, disagreements and impact on the surgical management were analysed. RESULTS A total of 1008 specimens were evaluated: bile duct margin (279; 27.7%), gallbladder (203; 20.1%), liver lesions (125 cases; 12.4%), lymph nodes (147; 14.6%), pancreatic margin (120; 11.9%) and deposits (134; 13.3%). IFS were diagnosed as negative for malignancy (805; 79.9%), positive for dysplasia (8; 0.8%), suspicious for malignancy (6; 0.6%) and positive for malignancy (189; 18.8%). The overall diagnostic accuracy was 98.4%, and the discordant rate was 1.6%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 94.7%, 99.4%, 97.5% and 98.6% respectively. The most important reason of discordant results was technical, followed by interpretational and sampling errors. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy (98.4%) of IFS in a large dataset of HPB specimens. This comprehensive analysis apprises of the indications, errors and the impact of IFS diagnosis on subsequent HPB surgical management.

Abstract
Background Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) is a rare and aggressive disease and consisted of conventional eCCA and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB). Intraepithelial spread (IES) of cancer cells beyond the invasive area is often observed in IPNBs; however, the prevalence of IES remains to be examined in conventional eCCAs. Here, we evaluated the clinicopathological features of eCCAs according to tumor location, with a focus on the presence of IES. The IES extension was also compared among biliary tract cancers (BTCs). Methods We examined the prevalence and clinicopathological significance of IES in eCCAs (n=382) and the IES extension of BTCs, including gallbladder (n=172), cystic duct (n=20), and ampullary cancers (n=102). Results Among the invasive eCCAs, IPNB had a higher rate of IES (89.2%) than conventional eCCAs (57.0%). Among conventional eCCAs, distal eCCAs (75.4%) had a significantly higher prevalence of IES than perihilar eCCAs (41.3%). The presence of IES was associated with a significantly higher survival rate in patients with distal eCCAs (P=0.030). Extension of the IES into the cystic duct (CyD) in distal eCCAs that cancer cells reached the junction of the CyD was a favorable prognostic factor (P<0.001). The association of survival with IES, either on the extrahepatic bile duct or on the CyD, differed depending on the tumor location and type of eCCA. The extension properties of IES were also dependent on different types of tumors among BTCs; usually, the IES incidence became higher than 50% in the tissues that the tumor developed, whereas IES extension to other tissues decreased the incidence. Conclusion Thus, eCCAs have different clinicopathological characteristics depending on the tumor location and type.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although both proximal ductal margin status and lymph node metastasis status influence the survival of patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, the effect of proximal ductal margin status on survival according to lymph node metastasis status is unclear. The aim of this study was, thus, to evaluate the prognostic impact of proximal ductal margin status in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma according to the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis. METHODS Consecutive patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent major hepatectomy between June 2000 and August 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with Clavien-Dindo grade V complications were excluded from the analysis. Overall survival was assessed according to the combination of lymph node metastasis and proximal ductal margin status. RESULTS Of the 230 eligible patients, 128 (56%) were lymph node metastasis negative, and 102 (44%) were lymph node metastasis positive. Overall survival was significantly better in lymph node metastasis negative than lymph node metastasis positive patients (P < .0001). Of the 128 lymph node metastasis-negative patients, 104 (81%) were proximal ductal margin negative, and 24 (19%) were proximal ductal margin positive. In lymph node metastasis-negative patients, overall survival was worse in the proximal ductal margin positive than the proximal ductal margin negative group (P = .01). Of the 102 lymph node metastasis-positive patients, 72 (71%) were proximal ductal margin negative and 30 (29%) were proximal ductal margin positive. In these patients, overall survival was similar between the 2 groups (P = .10). CONCLUSION In patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, the prognostic impact of proximal ductal margin positivity on survival might differ according to the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A positive ductal margin is strongly associated with poor survival in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. However, the significance of the radial margin status and its effect on survival are not fully clarified. METHODS All patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy between January 2000 and December 2018 at Tokai University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Positive margins were divided into positive ductal margin and positive radial margin. RESULTS One hundred and eight consecutive patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma underwent pancreatoduodenectomy. Margin-negative R0 resection was performed in 85 patients (79%). Twenty-three patients (21%) had a positive resection margin (R1 resection). The 5-year survival rate and median overall survival for patients with R0 resection and those with R1 resection was 64%, 98 months and 25%, 26 months, respectively. There was a significant difference in survival between patients with R0 resection and those with R1 resection (p < 0.001). Patients with positive radial margin (n = 10) had a significantly worse outcome than those with positive ductal margin (n = 13) (p = 0.016). Univariate analysis showed that R1 resection, lymph node metastasis, tumor depth, portal vein invasion, pancreatic invasion, lymphatic invasion, and venous invasion were significant prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis confirmed that R1 resection and nodal involvement were significant independent prognostic indicators after surgical resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Positive surgical margin and nodal involvement were the strongest predictors of poor survival in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Patients with a positive radial margin had a significantly worse outcome than those with a positive ductal margin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to verify the prognostic impact of the tumor exposure at the liver transection margin (LTM) in left-sided perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and the impact of middle hepatic vein (MHV) resection on this exposure. BACKGROUND In perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, tumors are unexpectedly exposed at the LTM during left hemihepatectomy (LH). METHODS Patients who underwent LH for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma during 2002 to 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. LH was classified into conventional and extended types, which preserved and resected the MHVs, respectively. Positive LTM was defined as the involvement of invasive carcinoma at the liver transection plane and/or the adjacent Glissonean pedicle exposed. The clinicopathologic features and survival outcomes were compared between procedures. RESULTS Among 236 patients, conventional and extended LHs were performed in 198 and 38 patients, respectively. The LTM was positive in 31 (13%) patients, with an incidence of 14% versus 8% ( P = 0.432) and 24% versus 0% in advanced tumors ( P = 0.011). Tumor size ≥ 18 mm ( P = 0.041), portal vein invasion ( P = 0.009), and conventional LH ( P = 0.028) independently predicted positive LTM. In patients with negative LTM, the survival was comparable between the two groups: 60.4% versus 59.2% at 3 years ( P = 0.206), which surpassed 17.7% for those with positive LTM in the conventional group ( P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that LTM status was an independent prognostic factor ( P = 0.009) along with ductal margin status ( P = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS The LTM status is an important prognostic factor in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Extended LH reduced the risk of tumor exposure at the LTM with a subsequent improvement in the survival, particularly in advanced tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To clarify the pathological significance of two precursors (high-grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasm [BilIN] and intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct [IPNB]) in cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs). METHODS Ninety-one cases of CCA (47 distal CCAs [dCCAs], 31 perihilar CCAs [pCCAs] and 13 intrahepatic CCAs of large duct type [LD-iCCAs]) were examined for their association with precursors. Neoplastic intraepithelial lesions without underlying infiltrating carcinoma in the surrounding mucosa of CCAs were considered to reflect high-grade BilIN. High-grade BilIN and IPNB were subdivided into gastric, biliary, intestinal and oncocytic subtypes, while CCAs were subdivided into gastrobiliary, intestinal and oncocytic subtypes. The postoperative overall survival (OS) was examined. RESULTS Fifty-four and 8 of 91 CCAs were associated with high-grade BilIN and IPNB, respectively, while these precursors were unidentifiable in the remaining CCAs. A majority of CCAs were of the gastrobiliary subtype, while the intestinal subtype was occasionally detected, and the oncocytic subtype was rare. CCAs with high-grade BilIN showed a similar postoperative OS to CCAs without precursors, while CCAs with IPNB showed a favorable postoperative OS compared to CCAs without precursors. CONCLUSIONS CCAs were frequently associated with precursors; high-grade BilIN may be a major precursor and IPNB a minor one. CCAs with IPNB showed a favorable postoperative OS compared to CCAs with high-grade BilIN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare vascular disorder of the liver, and acute and secondary BCS is even rarer. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old man with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma of Bismuth type IIIa underwent right hemi-hepatectomy with caudate lobectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was performed due to a positive hepatic ductal margin. Subsequently, the disease passed without recurrence. The patient visited for acute onset abdominal pain at the 32nd postoperative month. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) showed stenosis of the left hepatic vein (LHV) root, which was the irradiated field, and thrombotic occlusion of the LHV. The patient was diagnosed with acute BCS caused by adjuvant radiotherapy. Although anticoagulation therapy was performed, the patient complained of sudden upper abdominal pain again. MDCT showed an enlarged LHV thrombus and hepatomegaly. The patient was diagnosed with exacerbated acute BCS, and stenting for the stenotic LHV root was performed with a bare stent. Although stenting for the LHV root was very effective, restenosis occurred twice due to thrombus in the existing stent, so re-stenting was performed twice. The subsequent clinical course was acceptable without recurrence or restenosis of the LHV root as of 6 months after the last stenting using a stent graft. CONCLUSION Although no case of BCS caused by radiotherapy has yet been reported, the present case showed that late side effect of radiotherapy can cause hepatic vein stenosis and secondary BCS.

Abstract
Endoscopic management for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) is evolving toward more accurate diagnosis and safer drainage. In imaging, it is important to diagnose the entire lesion using multidetector-row computed tomography to determine resectability and optimal surgical planning, followed by local diagnosis using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Video peroral cholangioscopy and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy have been newly introduced as diagnostic imaging methods and are being applied clinically. In transpapillary forceps biopsy for PHCC diagnosis, the location in the bile duct (for mapping biopsy) and the number of biopsy samples should be determined depending on resectability, the morphological type, and future surgical planning. Preoperative drainage has shifted from percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage to endoscopic nasobiliary drainage given the possibility of seeding metastasis. In addition, considering potential patient discomfort from a nasal tube, the usefulness of the placement of a plastic stent above the papilla (inside stent) as a bridging therapy for surgery has been reported. For drainage of unresectable PHCC, the improved prognosis due to advances in chemotherapy has necessitated a strategy that accounts for reintervention. Thus, in addition to uncovered self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS), exchangeable slim fully covered SEMS and inside stents have started to be used. In addition to the conventional transpapillary approach, an endoscopic ultrasonography-guided approach has been introduced, and a combination of both methods has also been proposed. To improve the quality of life and prognosis of PHCC patients, endoscopists need to understand and be able to use the various methods of endoscopic management for PHCC.

[PMID: 36091112 PMCID: PMC9459008 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.961939] [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: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of bile-derived liquid biopsy compared with plasma and tumor tissue biopsy in patients with biliary tract carcinoma (BTC). Methods A total of 13 patients with BTC were enrolled in this cohort. Tumor tissue, bile, and plasma samples were obtained and analyzed using next-generation sequencing for genomic profiling. Results Bile and plasma samples were collected from all 13 patients, and 11 patients also had matched tumor tissues available. The cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentration was significantly higher in the bile supernatant than in plasma (median: 1918 vs. 63.1 ng/ml, p = 0.0017). The bile supernatant and pellet had a significantly higher mean mutation allele frequency (MF) than plasma (median: 3.84% vs. 4.22% vs. 0.16%; p < 0.001). Genomic alterations were predominantly missense. Both bile supernatant and pellet had significantly more genomic alterations than plasma (average: 9.3 vs. 7.2 vs. 2.3 alterations per sample; p < 0.01). Among the top 10 most frequent genomic alterations, the consistency between bile supernatant and tumor tissue was 90.00% (18/20), that between bile pellet and tumor tissue was 85.00% (17/20), and that between the plasma and tissue was only 35.00% (7/20). MAF of both bile supernatant and pellet was positively correlated with that in tissue samples (ρ < 0.0001, spearman r = 0.777, and ρ < 0.0001, spearman r = 0.787, respectively), but no significant correlation with tissue was found in the plasma (ρ = 0.966, spearman r = 0.008). Furthermore, additional genomic alterations could be detected in bile supernatant and pellet than in tissue. Potential targets for targeted therapy were identified in bile supernatant and pellet. Regarding copy number variation (CNV) and chromosomal instability (CIN) detection, four additional CNVs from two patients were detected in the bile supernatant that was not detected in tissues (i.e., amplification of TERC, IL7R, RICTOR, and TERT). CIN was significantly higher in tumor tissue than in plasma. The CIN of the bile was also significantly higher than that of plasma. There was no significant difference in CIN between the tissue and the bile supernatant. Conclusion The consistency of all genomic alterations and tumor tissue-determined genomic alteration in the bile supernatant/pellet was significantly higher than in plasma. Bile supernatants/pellets are better for genetic sequencing and may also have potential clinical value to guide targeted therapy and evaluate prognosis. Bile cfDNA may be a feasible substitute for tumor tissue in the genetic testing of patients with BTC.

Converted-hepatopancreatoduodenectomy for an intraoperative positive ductal margin after pancreatoduodenectomy in distal cholangiocarcinoma. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:2843-2852. [PMID: 35931877 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02598-2] [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: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment for distal cholangiocarcinoma, and a negative ductal margin (DM0) is indispensable for the long-term survival. When intraoperative frozen sections of ductal margin after PD are positive, converted-hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (C-HPD) is the final option available to gain an additional ductal margin. However, the efficacy of C-HPD remains unclear. METHODS Patients who underwent PD or C-HPD for distal cholangiocarcinoma between 2002 and 2019 were analyzed. The type of hepatectomy in C-HPD was restricted to left hepatectomy to prevent posthepatectomy liver failure. RESULTS Of 203 patients who underwent PD for distal cholangiocarcinoma, 49 patients exhibited intraoperative positive ductal margin (DM1) after PD. Eleven patients underwent C-HPD for intraoperative DM1 after PD, in which intraoperative DM1 with invasive carcinoma (DM1inv) was observed in 3 patients, and intraoperative DM1 with carcinoma in situ (DM1cis) was observed in 8 patients. The median additional ductal margin yielded by C-HPD was 9 mm (interquartile range 7-13 mm). C-HPD eradicated intraoperative DM1inv in 3 patients, with 2 patients showing DM0 and 1 patient showing DM1cis. Regarding 8 patients who underwent C-HPD for intraoperative DM1cis, 4 patients had DM0, but the others had DM1cis. C-HPD was associated with a high complication rate, but no mortality was observed. The median survival time of patients who underwent C-HPD was 48.8 months. CONCLUSION C-HPD was able to safely eradicate intraoperative DM1inv after PD. However, the length of the resected bile duct according to C-HPD may not be sufficient to remove intraoperative DM1cis after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical resection is the only indicator associated with survival in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC). However, limited data are available regarding the implications of dysplasia at the resection margin following surgery.
AIM To evaluate the prognostic significance of dysplasia-positive margins in patients diagnosed with EHCC.
METHODS We reviewed the records of patients who had undergone surgery for EHCC with curative intent between January 2013 and July 2017. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 116 patients followed for longer than 3 years. The status of resection margin was used to classify patients into negative low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD)/carcinoma in situ (CIS) categories.
RESULTS Based on postoperative status, 72 patients underwent resection with negative margins, 19 had LGD-positive margins, and 25 showed HGD/CIS-positive margins. The mean survival rates of the patients with negative margins, LGD margins, and HGD/CIS margins were 49.1 ± 4.5, 47.3 ± 6.0, and 20.8 ± 4.4 mo, respectively (P < 0.001). No difference in survival was found between groups with LGD margins and negative margins (P = 0.56). In the multivariate analysis, age > 70 years and HGD/CIS-positive margins were significant independent factors for survival (hazard ratio = 1.90 and 2.47, respectively).
CONCLUSION HGD/CIS margin in resected EHCC is associated with a poor survival. However, the LGD-positive resection margin is not a significant indicator of survival in patients with EHCC.

Abstract
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCCA) has a poor prognosis, mainly due to diagnosis at an advanced stage. Cripto-1 functions as an oncogene and is highly expressed in several human cancers, however, its clinical application in PHCCA is poorly understood. Herein, we identified that Cripto-1 was released by PHCCA cells via exosomes in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, an ELISA method was developed to detect exosomal Cripto-1 in the serum of 115 PHCCA patients, 47 cholangitis patients and 65 healthy controls, and it was found that exosomal Cripto-1 was increased in PHCCA patients and associated with metastasis. Compared with traditional serum tumor markers, CA19-9 and CEA, exosomal Cripto-1 demonstrated a larger area under ROC curve for PHCCA diagnosis. The cutoff value of exosomal Cripto-1 was 0.82, achieving a sensitivity of 79.1% and a specificity of 87.5%. As expected, exosomal Cripto-1 levels in immunohistochemically Cripto-1-high cases were significantly elevated compared to in Cripto-1-low cases. When measured 1-week postoperatively, Cripto-1 levels decreased on average from 1.25(0.96-3.26) to 0.85(0.62-1.82). Immunohistochemistry analysis showed Cripto-1 expression was negatively correlated with E-cadherin and was an independent prognostic biomarker for poor survival in PHCCA patients. In conclusion, exosomal Cripto-1 in sera can reflect its expression in the tissue of PHCAA patients and has the potential be a non-invasive biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of PHCCA.

Adjuvant S-1 vs gemcitabine for node-positive perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: A propensity score-adjusted analysis. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 28:716-726. [PMID: 34087061 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.1005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2020] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy for biliary cancers remains controversial because of conflicting results from previous phase 3 studies that used different key drugs and enrolled patients with heterogeneous tumor sites and disease stages. Fluoropyrimidine seems more beneficial than gemcitabine (GEM) combination regimens in the adjuvant setting; however, data comparing the survival benefit between GEM- and fluoropyrimidine-based regimens are lacking. METHODS Patients who underwent resection for node-positive perihilar cholangiocarcinoma were included. The patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy were divided into the S-1 and GEM groups according to the regimen. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) and the overall survival (OS) were compared between the groups and adjusted with propensity scores generated from 14 potentially confounding clinicopathological factors. RESULTS In total, 186 patients (Surgery alone, n = 71; S-1, n = 60; GEM, n = 55) were included. The S-1 and GEM completion rates were 75% and 65%, respectively. Among the patients who underwent adjuvant therapy, the RFS was longer in the S-1 group patients than the GEM group patients (median, 24.4 months vs 14.9 months; P = .044) whereas the OS was not significantly different between the groups (median, 48.5 months vs 35.0 months; P = .324). After propensity score adjustment, the differences in RFS and OS between the groups were more evident (HR: 2.696, 95% CI: 1.739-4.180 P < .001; HR: 1.988, 95% CI: 1.221-3.238, P < .001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Compared with adjuvant GEM monotherapy, adjuvant S-1 monotherapy may improve survival in node-positive perihilar cholangiocarcinoma patients.

Abstract
Background Intraoperative frozen section (FS) is broadly used during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to ensure a negative margin status, but its survival benefits on obtaining a secondary R0 resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) is controversial and unclear. Methods Clinical data of 107 patients who underwent PD for dCCA was retrospectively collected and divided into different groups based on use of FS (FS and non-FS groups) and status of resection margin (pR0, sR0 and R1 groups), and clinical parameters and survival of patients were compared and analyzed accordingly. Results There were 50 patients in FS group with a median survival of 28 months, 57 patients in non-FS group with a median survival of 27 months. There was no statistical difference between the two groups with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (P = 0.347). There were 98 patients in R0 group (88 in pR0 and 10 in sR0) and nine patients in R1 group, with a median survival of 29 months and 22 months respectively, which showed a better survival in R0 group than in R1 group (P = 0.006). Survival analyses between subgroups revealed difference between pR0 and R1 group (P = 0.005), while no statistical difference concerning pR0 vs. sR0 (P = 0.211) and sR0 vs. R1 groups (P = 0.262). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed resection margin status, pre-operative biliary drainage and lymph node invasion to be independent prognostic factors for dCCA patients. Conclusions Intraoperative FS should be recommended as it significantly increased the rate of R0 resection, which was positively related to a better survival. A primary R0 resection should also be encouraged and if not, a secondary R0 could be considered at the discretion of surgeons as it showed similar survival with primary R0 resection.

Abstract
Background: Peroral cholangioscopy (POCS)-guided forceps mapping biopsy (FMB) is a method for the accurate preoperative identification of the extent of the disease of biliary tract cancer (BTC). However, the diagnostic value of POCS-FMB is still uncertain. Objectives: We evaluated the diagnostic utility of POCS-FMB for the identification of lateral extension—superficial intraductal spread longitudinally and continuously from the main lesion—of BTC. Methods: In the retrospective study, patients who received POCS-FMB and surgery for curative resection of BTC between September 2016 and August 2019 at our medical institution were enrolled. The diagnostic accuracy of POCS-FMB for the identification of lateral extension of BTC was evaluated. Furthermore, we also evaluated the factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of POCS-FMB. Results: A total of 23 patients with BTC were enrolled, and 24 procedures of POCS-FMB from 96 sites of biliary tracts were performed. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of POCS-FMB were 53.8%, 63.9%, and 63.1%, respectively. In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, the biopsy from the bifurcation of biliary tracts was a significant factor affecting the diagnostic accuracy of POCS-FMB (odds ratio 3.538, 95%; confidence interval 1.151–10.875, p = 0.027). Conclusions: The diagnostic accuracy of POCS-FMB for the identification of lateral extension of BTC was insufficient. The biopsy from the bifurcation of biliary tracts was a positive factor affecting the diagnostic accuracy of POCS-FMB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery launched the clinical practice guidelines for the management of biliary tract cancers (cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, and ampullary cancer) in 2007, then published the 2nd version in 2014. METHODS In this 3rd version, clinical questions (CQs) were proposed on six topics. The recommendation, grade for recommendation, and statement for each CQ were discussed and finalized by an evidence-based approach. Recommendations were graded as Grade 1 (strong) or Grade 2 (weak) according to the concepts of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. RESULTS The 31 CQs covered the six topics: (a) prophylactic treatment, (b) diagnosis, (c) biliary drainage, (d) surgical treatment, (e) chemotherapy, and (f) radiation therapy. In the 31 CQs, 14 recommendations were rated strong and 14 recommendations weak. The remaining three CQs had no recommendation. Each CQ includes a statement of how the recommendations were graded. CONCLUSIONS This latest guideline provides recommendations for important clinical aspects based on evidence. Future collaboration with the cancer registry will be key for assessing the guidelines and establishing new evidence.

Impact of Remnant Carcinoma in Situ at the Ductal Stump on Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Distal Cholangiocarcinoma. World J Surg 2020; 45:291-301. [PMID: 32989580 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-020-05799-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of positive ductal margins with carcinoma in situ (R1-CIS) after resection is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of R1-CIS on survival in patients who underwent resection for distal cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS We enrolled 121 consecutive patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Poor prognostic factors were investigated by multivariable analysis, and we performed a stratified analysis to evaluate the impact of R1-CIS on survival in patients with or without prognostic factors. RESULTS Multivariable analysis identified node-positive status as the prognostic factor (P = 0.003). Stratified by lymph node status, overall survival (OS) in the R0 group was significantly better than that in the R1-CIS group in node-negative patients (57.1% vs 30.0%; P < 0.050). Although OS was comparable between the two groups in node-positive patients (5-year OS: 22.2% vs 20.0%, respectively; P = not significant). Furthermore, OS in patients in whom R0 was achieved by additional resection was significantly better than that in patients with R1-CIS (5-year OS: 66.7% vs 30.0%, respectively; P < 0.050). CONCLUSIONS Remnant CIS is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with node-negative distal cholangiocarcinoma. Every effort should be made to achieve negative bile duct margins.

Prognostic implication of high grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasia in bile duct resection margins in patients with resected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2020; 27:604-613.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC), it is still controversial as to whether additional resection of the bile duct is needed on high grade (HG) biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) margin. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for PHCC with curative intent between 2001 and 2015 were stratified by resection margin, and were analyzed comparing the clinical outcomes. RESULTS Of the 306 study participants, 217 patients had negative margins (R0), 18 patients had HG BilIN, and 71 patients had positive margins (R1). The median overall survival was 36.0 months in the R0 group, 41.0 months in the HG BilIN group, and 25.0 months in the R1 group while overall survival rates at 5 years were 34.5% in the R0 group, 44.4% in the HG BilIN group, and 21.0% in the R1 group. The median disease-free survival was 15.0 months in the R0 group, 16.5 months in the HG BilIN group, and 12.0 months in the R1 group. CONCLUSIONS Although the HG BilIN group had neoplasia with malignant potential, survival and recurrence outcomes were comparable to those of the R0 group, which suggests that no additional resection is needed when the maximal bile duct margin in PHCC surgery contains HG BilIN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, postoperative prognostic factors for intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) have not been well-established. This study aimed to examine the histopathologic features and postoperative prognosis of the two IPNB subclassifications, as well as factors affecting prognosis, based on the authors' experience at a single institution. METHODS The study enrolled 83 patients who underwent surgical resection for pathologically diagnosed IPNB at the authors' institution. The clinicopathologic features and postoperative outcomes for these patients were examined. The study also investigated postoperative prognostic factors for IPNB using uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS More than half of the tumors (64%) diagnosed as IPNB were early-stage cancer (UICC Tis or T1). However, none were diagnosed as benign. The multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio [HR], 5.78; p = 0.002) and bile duct margin status with carcinoma in situ (D-CIS; HR, 5.10; p = 0.002) were independent prognostic factors, whereas MUC6 expression showed only a marginal influence on prediction of prognosis (HR, 0.32; p = 0.07). The tumor recurrence rate and the proportion of locoregional recurrence were significantly greater among the patients with D-CIS than among those with negative bile duct margins, including those patients with low-grade dysplasia. The patients with D-CIS showed a significantly poorer prognosis than those with negative bile duct margins (5-year survival, 38% versus 87%; p = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of resected IPNBs showed cancer in all cases. Avoiding positive biliary stumps during surgery, including resection of carcinoma in situ, would improve the prognosis for patients with IPNB.

Abstract
AIM This study evaluated the effects of postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (A-CRT) for positive hepatic ductal margin (HM+) in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC). METHODS Patients with EHCC who underwent surgical resection between 2002 and 2014 were included in this retrospective study. For patients with HM+, A-CRT was conducted. The clinical effect of A-CRT for HM+ on the survival and recurrence and prognostic factors of EHCC was reviewed. RESULTS Among 340 patients, the hepatic ductal margin was negative in 296 and positive in 44. Of the 44 patients with HM+, 22 received postoperative A-CRT, and 22 did not. Hepatic stump recurrence occurred in 19 patients. The incidence was significantly higher in patients with HM+ (20%, 9/44) than in those with negative hepatic ductal margin (HM-) (3%, 10/296) (P < .001). Among the patients with HM+, the incidence was almost identical between the patients with and without A-CRT: 23% (5/22) in HM+/CRT- and 18% (4/22) in HM+/CRT+ patients (P = .999). The median survival time was 49 months in HM-, 43 months in HM+/CRT-, and 49 months in HM+/CRT+ patients. The differences were not significant among the groups. A multivariate analysis revealed CA 19-9 ≥ 300 U/mL, combined vascular resection, histologic grade G2/G3, and lymph node metastasis to be significant prognostic factors. However, the performance of postoperative A-CRT did not contribute to prolonging survival. CONCLUSION A-CRT for HM+ in patients with EHCC did not affect the survival or stump recurrence.

Does additional resection of a positive microscopic ductal margin benefit patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0232590. [PMID: 32379819 PMCID: PMC7205232 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0232590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The incidence of a positive microscopic ductal margin (R1) after surgical resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) remains high, but the beneficial of additional resection has not been confirmed by any meta-analysis and randomized clinical trials (RCT), which also increased the risk of morbidity and mortality. Hence, a systematic review is warranted to evaluate the clinical value of additional resection of intraoperative R1 for pCCA. Methods Eligible studies were searched by PubMed, MedLine, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, from Jan.1st 2000 to Nov.30th 2019, evaluating the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of additional resection of intraoperative pathologic R1 for pCCA. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to determine the effect size by a randomized-effect model. Results Eight studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis, including 179 patients in the secondary R0 group, 843 patients in the primary R0 group and 253 patients in the R1 group. The pooled OR for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rate between secondary R0 group and primary R0 group were 1.03(95%CI 0.64~1.67, P = 0.90), 0.92(95%CI 0.52~1.64, P = 0.78), and 0.83(95%CI 0.37~1.84, P = 0.65), respectively. The pooled OR for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rate between secondary R0 group and R1 group were 2.14(95%CI 1.31~3.50, P = 0.002), 2.58(95%CI 1.28~5.21, P = 0.008), and 3.54(95%CI 1.67~7.50, P = 0.001), respectively. However, subgroup analysis of the West showed that the pooled OR for the 1-, and 3-year OS rate between secondary R0 group and R1 group were 2.05(95%CI 0.95~4.41, P = 0.07), 1.91(95%CI 0.96~3.81, P = 0.07), respectively. Conclusion With the current data, additional resection should be recommended in selected patients with intraoperative R1, but the conclusion is needed further validation.

Abstract
Background High-grade dysplasia/carcinoma in situ (HGD/CIS) of the biliary duct margin was found to not affect the prognosis of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by recent studies, but it has not yet reached a conclusion. Methods Eligible studies were searched by PubMed, PMC, MedLine, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, from Jan. 1, 2000 to Jun. 30, 2019, investigating the influences of surgical margin status of biliary duct on the prognosis of patients with resectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Overall survival (OS) and local recurrence were evaluated by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 11 studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis, including 1734 patients in the R0 group, 194 patients in the HGD/CIS group, and 229 patients in the invasive carcinoma (INV) group. The pooled OR for the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rate between HGD/CIS group and R0 group was 0.98 (95% CI 0.65~1.50), 1.01 (95% CI 0.73~1.41), and 0.98 (95% CI 0.72~1.34), respectively. The pooled OR for the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rate between HGD/CIS group and INV group was 1.83 (95% CI 1.09~3.06), 4.52 (95% CI 2.20~9.26), and 3.74 (95% CI 2.34~5.96), respectively. Subgroup analysis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma at early stage showed that the pooled OR for the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rate between HGD/CIS group and R0 group was 0.54 (95% CI 0.21~1.36), 0.75 (95% CI 0.35~1.58), and 0.74 (95% CI 0.40~1.37), respectively, and the pooled OR for the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rate between HGD/CIS group and INV group was 3.47 (95% CI 1.09~11.02), 9.12 (95% CI 2.98~27.93), and 9.17 (95% CI 2.95~28.55), respectively. However, the pooled OR for the incidence of local recurrence between HGD/CIS group and R0 group was 3.54 (95% CI 1.66~7.53), and the pooled OR for the incidence of local recurrence between HGD/CIS group and INV group was 0.93 (95% CI 0.50~1.74). Conclusion With the current data, we concluded that HGD/CIS would increase the risk of local recurrence compared with R0, although it did not affect the prognosis of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma regardless of TNM stage. However, the conclusion needs to be furtherly confirmed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated survival differences following intra-operative frozen-section examination of bile duct resection margins and final longitudinal margin status (LMS) in distal bile duct cancer (BDC). METHODS One hundred and ninety-three patients underwent Whipple's operation for curative resection of distal BDC from 2008 to 2016. Patients were sorted into two and three groups according to LMS of the frozen-sections and the final pathological specimen results: R0 on first bile duct resection (primary R0), R0 after additional resection (secondary R0), and no evidence of residual carcinoma (FR0), carcinoma in situ or high-grade dysplasia (FR1-CIS/HGD), or invasive carcinoma (FR1-INV). Survival and prognostic factors according to LMS were analyzed. RESULTS The final R0 ratio increased from 82.3% to 90.1% through additional resection. The 5-year overall survival (OS) of primary and secondary R0 were 60.8%, 46.1% (P = 0.969). And disease-free survival of primary and secondary R0 were 54.6%, 54.9% (P = 0.903). The 5-year OS after FR0, FR1-CIS/HGD, FR1-INV were 59.3%, 59.5%, 14.3% (P = 0.842). LMS of the bile duct was an independent prognostic factor by multivariable analyses. CONCLUSIONS If R0 of final LMS was achieved, it would help to improve survival regardless of R0 through additional resection. And, it should be avoided remaining invasive cancer at the longitudinal margin whenever possible.

Br J Surg 2019; 106:774-782. [DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Revised: 11/27/2018] [Accepted: 12/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Little is known about the effect of additional resection for a frozen-section-positive distal bile duct margin (DM) in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Methods
Patients who underwent surgical resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma between 2001 and 2015 were analysed retrospectively, focusing on the DM.
Results
Of 558 consecutive patients who underwent frozen-section examination for a DM, 74 (13·3 per cent) had a frozen-section-positive DM with invasive cancer or carcinoma in situ. Eventually, 53 patients underwent additional resection (bile duct resection in 44 and pancreatoduodenectomy in 9), whereas the remaining 21 patients did not. Ultimately, R0 resection was achieved in 30 of the 53 patients (57 per cent). No patient who underwent additional resection died from surgical complications. The 44 patients with additional bile duct resection had a 5-year overall survival rate of 31 per cent. Overall survival of the nine patients who had pancreatoduodenectomy was better, with a 10-year rate of 67 per cent. Survival of the 21 patients without additional resection was dismal: all died within 5 years. Multivariable analyses identified nodal status and additional resection as independent prognostic factors (lymph node metastasis: hazard ratio (HR) 2·26, 95 per cent c.i. 1·26 to 4·07; bile duct resection versus no additional resection: HR 0·32, 0·17 to 0·60; pancreatoduodenectomy versus no additional resection: HR 0·08, 0·02 to 0·29).
Conclusion
Additional resection for frozen-section-positive DM in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma frequently yields R0 margins. It offers a better chance of long-term survival, and thus should be performed in carefully selected patients.

Clinical Significance of Preoperative Serum CEA, CA125, and CA19-9 Levels in Predicting the Resectability of Cholangiocarcinoma. DISEASE MARKERS 2019; 2019:6016931. [PMID: 30863466 PMCID: PMC6378785 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6016931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 11/03/2018] [Accepted: 11/05/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
To explore the clinical significance of preoperative serum CEA, CA125, and CA19-9 levels in predicting the resectability of cholangiocarcinoma. Patients with cholangiocarcinoma diagnosed by radiologic examination and admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from September 1, 2011, to November 30, 2017, were retrospectively included. The relationship between the preoperative serum CEA, CA125, and CA19-9 levels and the resectability of cholangiocarcinoma was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, as well as the best cut-off point. A total of 112 met the inclusion criteria. In 50 patients with radical surgeries, the levels of preoperative serums CEA, CA125, and CA19-9 were 5.0 ± 13.9 ng/mL, 15.3 ± 11.8 U/mL, and 257.5 ± 325.6 U/mL, respectively, which were lower than those in patients with unresectable tumor. Based on the ROC curve, the ideal CA19-9 cut-off value was determined to be 1064.1 U/mL in prediction of resectability, with a sensitivity of 53.2%, a specificity of 94.0%, and the area under the ROC curve of 0.73 (P < 0.05). The cut-off value of CA125 was 17.8 U/mL with a sensitivity of 72.6%, a specificity of 78.0%, and the area under the ROC curve of 0.81 (P < 0.05). The cut-off value of CEA was 2.6 ng/mL with a sensitivity of 79.0%, a specificity of 48.0%, and the area under the ROC curve of 0.66 (P < 0.05). In addition to this, we found that using the combination of three tumor markers could improve the value in predicting resectability of cholangiocarcinoma. In summary, this study suggested that the preoperative serum CEA, CA125, and CA19-9 levels can help predict the resectability of cholangiocarcinoma.

Diagnosis by 64-Row Multidetector Computed Tomography for Longitudinal Superficial Extension of Distal Cholangiocarcinoma. J Surg Res 2019; 235:487-493. [PMID: 30691833 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2018.10.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2018] [Revised: 08/28/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to demonstrate the diagnostic ability of 64-row multidetector computed tomography (64-row MDCT) for longitudinal superficial extension of distal cholangiocarcinoma (LSEDC). METHODS Twenty-seven patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma (DC) underwent preoperative 64-row MDCT without drainage tubes. LSEDC was diagnosed using curved planar reconstruction images reconstructed from 64-row MDCT, which were compared with pathologic findings. RESULTS LSEDC was observed in 13 patients (48%). Ten patients (37%) had enhancing nonthickened bile ducts extending continuously from the main tumor (type 1). These coincided with pathologic findings of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in 90.0% of cases; that is, a positive predictive value (9/10). Fourteen patients (52%) had only wall thickening of the main tumor with or without enhancement (type 2). Four patients with HGD in this group were difficult to diagnose. Three patients (11%) had enhancing nonthickened bile ducts not in continuity with the main tumor (type 3). This finding revealed an inflammatory change instead of a carcinoma in the pathologic findings. The sensitivity and specificity of detecting HGD were 75% and 93% on the liver side, 33% and 100% on the duodenal side, respectively. Four patients (67%) with HGD on the liver side were overdiagnosed, and one patient (17%) was underdiagnosed. Most of the patients overdiagnosed on the liver side (3/4 or 75%) had drainage tubes inserted before the MDCT. CONCLUSIONS For DC patients without drainage tubes, the 64-row MDCT technique may be useful for diagnosing HGD depicted as LSEDC on the liver side but not as useful on the duodenal side.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hilar malignancy can occasionally be associated with high grade dysplasia (HGD) adjacent to invasive malignancy. For patients with HGD extending into the intrapancreatic bile duct, the authors adopted intrapancreatic bile duct resection (IP-BDR). The aims of this study were to compare the incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF), distal R0 resection and local recurrence within the distal bile duct remnant for patients undergoing extrahepatic bile duct resection without pancreaticoduodenectomy (with or without IP-BDR). METHODS Patients who presented with hilar malignancy and underwent extrahepatic bile duct resection without pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2005 and December 2016 were identified and the outcomes retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Of 217 patients who met the inclusion criteria 62 (29%) patients underwent IP-BDR. There was a significant difference between patients undergoing standard resection vs. IP-BDR in terms of CR-POPF (5% (8/155) patients: vs 18% (11/62), p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between two groups of R0 status on distal margin (5% (8/155) patients: vs 10% (6/62), p = 0.359). No patient developed recurrence within the residual intrapancreatic bile duct. DISCUSSION The incidence of CR-POPF after IP-BDR for hilar malignancies was 18%. IP-BDR was associated with CR-POF, but does not appear to alter survival or local recurrence rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) before biliary drainage is useful for the assessment of the resectability of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC), the impact of biliary drainage on MDCT images before surgical resection for PHC has been poorly studied, and its possible consequences for R0 resection of PHC remain unclear. This study was performed to compare the surgical outcomes of patients with PHC who underwent MDCT before versus after biliary drainage. METHODS All consecutive patients who underwent major hepatectomy extending to segment 1 with extrahepatic bile duct resection for PHC from 2009 to 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. R0 resection was defined as no residual cancer at all surgical margins. Patients with pathological stage IV PHC were excluded. RESULTS Of 142 patients who underwent major hepatectomy, 108 were eligible for this study. Of these 108 patients, 64 (59%) and 44 (41%) underwent MDCT before and after biliary drainage, respectively. The total bilirubin concentration at presentation was lower in patients who underwent MDCT before than after biliary drainage (4.1 ± 5.9 vs. 8.0 ± 7.1 mg/ml, respectively; p = 0.002). Although there were no significant differences in the surgical characteristics or pathological stages between the two groups, R0 resection was more frequently achieved in patients who underwent MDCT before than after biliary drainage [46/64 (72%) vs. 22/44 (50%), respectively; p = 0.03]. On multivariate analysis, MDCT before biliary drainage was independently associated with R0 resection of PHC (risk ratio: 2.38, 95% CI 1.05-5.41; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In selected patients, MDCT should be performed before biliary drainage to achieve R0 resection of PHC.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS We aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), mapping biopsy, and other imaging modalities to predict the longitudinal extension and depth of invasion of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma at possible surgical ductal margins. METHODS Of 102 patients with surgical resection of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between January 2010 and October 2015, 32 evaluated by multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) performed before biliary drainage and mapping biopsy were enrolled. Mapping biopsies were performed at 74 sites to determine the resection point of the bile duct (at 74 possible surgical ductal margins). Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by histopathology. RESULTS The diagnostic accuracy of MDCT for longitudinal cancer spread was 79.7%, that of biopsy was 73.0%, and combining the two modalities showed highest accuracy (83.8%). The depth of tumor invasion could be predicted by combination of the ductal wall thickness and contrast enhancement on MDCT, that is, at 11 of 13 sites (84.6%) with submucosal invasion, ductal wall thickness was > 2.5 mm with high contrast enhancement. CONCLUSIONS MDCT demonstrated highest accuracy of diagnosing longitudinal extension at possible surgical ductal margins in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The depth of tumor invasion could be predicted by ductal wall thickness and contrast enhancement of MDCT.

Abstract
Recent advances in dimensional imaging, surgical technique, and perioperative patient care have resulted in increased rates of complete resection with histopathologically negative margins and improved surgical outcomes in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, achieving cancer-free resection margins at ductal stumps in surgery for this disease remains challenging because of longitudinal extension, which is one of the hallmarks of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. When the ductal resection margins are shown to be positive on examination of frozen sections, discrimination between carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma is clinically important because residual carcinoma in situ may lead to late local recurrence whereas residual invasive carcinoma is associated with early local recurrence. Residual invasive carcinoma at the ductal margins should be avoided whenever technically feasible. Residual "carcinoma in situ" at the ductal margins appears to be allowed in resection for the advanced disease because it has less effect on survival than other adverse prognostic factors (pN1 and/ or pM1). However, in surgery for early-stage (pTis-2N0M0) extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, residual carcinoma in situ at the ductal margins may have an adverse effect on long-term survival, so should be avoided whenever possible. In this review, we focus on the histopathological term "carcinoma in situ," the biological behavior of residual carcinoma in situ at ductal resection margins, intraoperative histological examination of the ductal resection margins, outcome of additional resection for positive ductal margins, and adjuvant therapy for patients with positive margins.

Abstract
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma, which represents approximately 60% of biliary tract malignancies, is increasing in incidence and presents an ongoing challenge for patients and hepatobiliary surgeons. Although the majority of patients present with advanced disease, the remaining minority of patients are best treated with surgical resection or transplant. Transplant is typically reserved for locally unresectable tumors often in the setting of underlying hepatic dysfunction and will not be discussed herein. This review, therefore, focuses on oncological resection and the strategies implemented for the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma at a quaternary referral center, including preoperative considerations such as patient selection and optimization of the future liver remnant, nuances to the operative approach for these tumors such as resection under low central venous pressure and management of the bile duct, as well as postoperative management.

Abstract
Liver transplant (LT) for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) offers an opportunity for survival among patients with early-stage but anatomically unresectable disease. The 5-year survival rate after LT is 65% to 70%, higher among patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, who are often diagnosed earlier, and lower among patients with de novo CCA. The results of LT for hilar CCA, along with recent limited data suggesting favorable survival among patients with very early intrahepatic CCA (ICC), have reignited interest in the subject. This article discusses LT following neoadjuvant therapy for CCA and the early data on LT alone for ICC.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the role of adjuvant concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) in patients with a microscopically positive resection margin (R1) after curative resection for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC). METHODS/PATIENTS A total of 84 patients treated with curative resection for EHCC were included. Fifty-two patients with negative resection margins did not receive any adjuvant treatments (R0 + S group). The remaining 32 patients with microscopically positive resection margins received either adjuvant CCRT (R1 + CCRT group, n = 19) or adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) alone (R1 + RT group, n = 13). RESULTS During the median follow-up period of 26 months, the 2-year locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival rates (OS) were: 81.8, 62.6, and 61.5% for R0 + S group; 71.8, 57.8, and 57.9% for R1 + CCRT group; and 16.8, 9.6, and 15.4% for R1 + RT group, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the R1 + CCRT group did not show any significant difference in survival rates compared with the R0 + S group. The R1 + RT group had lower LRRFS [hazard ratio (HR) 3.008; p = 0.044], DFS (HR 2.364; p = 0.022), and OS (HR 2.417; p = 0.011) when compared with the R0 + S and R1 + CCRT group. CONCLUSIONS A lack of significant survival difference between R0 + S group and R1 + CCRT group suggests that adjuvant CCRT ameliorates the negative effect of microscopic positive resection margin. In contrast, adjuvant RT alone is appeared to be inadequate for controlling microscopically residual tumor.

Impact of radiation dose in postoperative radiotherapy after R1 resection for extrahepatic bile duct cancer: long term results from a single institution. Oncotarget 2017; 8:78076-78085. [PMID: 29100449 PMCID: PMC5652838 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.17368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2016] [Accepted: 04/10/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of radiation dose after margin involved resection in patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer. Methods Among the 251 patients who underwent curative resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, 86 patients had either invasive carcinoma (n = 63) or carcinoma in situ (n = 23) at the resected margin. Among them, 54 patients received conventional radiation dose (40-50.4 Gy) and 32 patients received escalated radiation dose (54-56 Gy). Results Escalated radiation dose was associated with improved locoregional control (5yr rate, 73.8% vs. 47.1%, p = 0.069), but not disease-free survival (5yr rate, 43.4% vs. 32.6%, p = 0.490) and overall survival (5yr rate, 40.6% vs. 29.6%, p = 0.348). In multivariate analysis for locoregional control, invasive carcinoma at the margin (HR 2.957, p = 0.032) and escalated radiation dose (HR 0.394, p = 0.047) were independent prognostic factors. No additional gastrointestinal toxicity was observed in escalated dose group. Conclusions Delivery of radiation dose ≥ 54 Gy was well tolerated and associated with improved locoregional control, but not with overall survival after margin involved resection. Further validation study is warranted.

Surg Case Rep 2017; 3:6. [PMID: 28054282 PMCID: PMC5215194 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-016-0283-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2016] [Accepted: 12/20/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mucin-producing cholangiocarcinoma (MPCC) is an uncommon tumour that is clinically characterized by mucin-hypersecretion. Because the initial symptoms of MPCC may be attributed to the viscus mucobilia, the primary tumour mass may potentially be unrecognizable. We report an interesting case of curatively resected occult MPCC in situ. Case presentation A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital with increased levels of biliary enzymes. Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) demonstrated a diffuse dilatation of the entire biliary system without evidence of tumour mass. Additionally, there were numerous variably sized cysts throughout the liver. The cyst of S4 was the largest, followed by that of S1, which connected with the right hepatic duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed intrabiliary mucus, predominantly in the left hepatic duct, but failed to show a communication of both cysts with the bile duct. We clinically suspected that minute MPCC was present within the S1 cyst and performed left hepatectomy, caudate lobectomy, and resection of the extrahepatic bile duct. Macroscopically, papillary adenocarcinoma in situ was present in the S1 cyst, and a final diagnosis of MPCC originating from the bile duct of the caudate lobe was made. Conclusions For MPCC, in practice, we should consider the possibility that this tumour can be occult. In this complicated setting, demonstrating the communication to the responsible dilated duct is a clue to the diagnosis. Multidirectional MDCT images succeeded in specifically demonstrating this communication, which is insensitive to the presence of excessive mucobilia.
