Patterns of Recurrence in Appendix Cancer After Complete Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:7848-7857. [PMID: 37633853 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14145-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is thought that low-grade (LG) appendiceal cancer (AC) demonstrates predominantly intraperitoneal recurrence (IPR) after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC), whereas high-grade (HG) tumors progress both intra- and extraperitoneally (EPR). However, evidence supporting this conception is lacking; therefore, we assessed recurrence in various AC histologies. METHODS A retrospective, cohort study was conducted by using a single-center database (1998-2022). Recurrence patterns (IPR, EPR, combined) were identified for LG, HG, high-grade with signet ring cells (SRC), and goblet cell carcinoma (GCC). RESULTS We included 432 complete (CC-0/1) CRS/HIPECs: 200 LG, 114 HG, 72 SRC, and 46 GCC. Median follow-up was 78 (95% confidence interval [CI] 70-86) months. Overall, 34% (n = 148) of patients recurred. IPR was the most common (LG 16%, HG 27%, SRC 36%, GCC 26%) with median time to recurrence (MTR) of 21 (IQR: 12-40) months. EPR (liver, lung, pleura, lymph nodes, or bones) occurred in LG 3%, HG 9%, SRC 22%, and GCC 7%. MTR was 11 (IQR: 4-16) months. Combined pattern occurred in LG 0%, HG 8%, SRC 7%, and GCC 0%. MTR was 13 (IQR: 7-18) months. Iterative surgery was performed in 53% IPR, 18% EPR, and 51% combined. Median post-recurrence survival was longer after IPR compared with EPR and combined recurrence: 36 (95% CI 25-47) versus 13 (95% CI 7-19) and 18 (95% CI 6-30) months (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS After complete CRS/HIPEC, IPR was the predominant pattern in all AC histologies and occurred later. Post-recurrence survival after IPR was longer. Knowing AC recurrence patterns can help to understand its biology and plan follow-up and post-relapse management.

Impact of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy followed by cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol 2023. [PMID: 36880398 DOI: 10.1111/ajco.13949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
AIM Peritoneal dissemination of infiltrative appendiceal tumors is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a well-recognized treatment option for selected patients. Neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NAC) has been shown to be associated with improved overall survival (OS) in colorectal peritoneal metastases but little is known of the impact of this from an appendiceal adenocarcinoma perspective. METHOD A prospective database of 294 patients with advanced appendiceal primary tumors undergoing CRS ± HIPEC between June 2009 and December 2020 was reviewed. Baseline characteristics and long-term outcomes were compared between patients with adenocarcinoma who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or upfront surgery. RESULTS Eighty-six (29%) patients were histologically diagnosed with an appendiceal cancer. These included intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (11.6%), mucinous adenocarcinoma (43%), and goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) or signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (SRCA) (45.4%). Twenty-five (29%) of these underwent NAC, of which eight (32%) exhibited some degree of radiological response. There was no statistical difference in OS at 3 years between the NAC and upfront surgery groups (47.3% vs. 75.8%, p = 0.372). Appendiceal histology subtypes, particularly GCA and SRCA (p = 0.039) and peritoneal carcinomatosis index >10 (p = 0.009), were factors independently associated with worse OS. CONCLUSION Administration of NAC did not appear to prolong OS in the operative management of disseminated appendiceal adenocarcinomas. GCA and SRCA subtypes display a more aggressive biological phenotype.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification, appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) is categorized separately from neuroendocrine tumors and other appendiceal adenocarcinomas. We clarified the clinicopathological characteristics of Japanese appendiceal GCA. METHODS We designed a retrospective multicenter cohort study and retrieved the data of patients with appendiceal neoplasms and histologically diagnosed appendiceal goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) treated from January 2000 to December 2017 in Japan. The available GCC slides were reviewed and diagnosed with a new grading system of GCA. RESULTS A total of 922 patients from 43 institutions were enrolled; of these, 32 cases were patients with GCC (3.5%), and 20 cases were ultimately analyzed. The 5-year survival rate was 61.4% (95% confidence interval: 27.4-83.2), and the median survival time was 93.1 months. For peritoneal metastasis, regional lymph node metastasis was a significant factor (p = 0.04), and Grade 3 was a potential factor (p = 0.07). No peritoneal metastasis was observed in either T1/2 patients (n = 2) or Grade 1 patients (n = 4). We were unable to detect any significant factors associated with regional lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION For peritoneal metastasis, regional lymph node metastasis was a significant factor, and Grade 3 was a potential factor.

Appendiceal goblet cell carcinoma has marginal advantages from perioperative chemotherapy: a population-based study with an entropy balancing analysis. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:65. [PMID: 36695921 PMCID: PMC9876863 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02791-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim is to clarify the use of perioperative chemotherapy in resectable goblet cell carcinoma (GCC). METHODS A retrospective study was carried out based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results study. The population was divided: into patients who received only radical surgery (group A) and those who received radical surgery plus chemotherapy (group B). An entropy balancing was carried out to correct the imbalance between the two groups. Two models were generated. Model 1 contained only high-risk patients: group B and a "virtual" group A with similar characteristics. Model 2 included only low-risk patients: group A and "virtual" group B with identical attributes. The efficacy of entropy balancing was evaluated with the d value. The overall survival was compared and reported with Hazard Ratio (HR) within a confidence interval of 95% (95 CI). RESULTS The groups A and B were imbalanced for tumor size (d = 0.392), T (d = 1.128), N (d = 1.340), M (d = 1.456), mean number of positive lymph nodes (d = 0.907), and LNR (d = 0.889). Before the balancing, the risk of death was higher in group B than in A (4.3; 2.5 to 7.4). After reweighting, all large differences were eliminated (d < 0.200). In high-risk patients, the risk of death was higher in patients who underwent surgery alone than those who received perioperative chemotherapy (HR 0.5; 0.2 to 1.3) without statistical significance (p = 0.187). In low-risk patients, the risk of death was similar (HR 1.1; 0.3 to 3.3). CONCLUSION Perioperative chemotherapy could provide some marginal advantages to high-risk patients.

Abstract
BackgroundGoblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) of the appendix is a rare and aggressive tumour with varying nomenclature and classification systems. This has led to heterogeneity in published data, and there is a lack of consensus on incidence, survival, and management.MethodsWe provide an overview of GCA with a comprehensive systematic review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology and a retrospective analysis of all cases recorded in the English National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service database between 1995 and 2018. The Kaplan–Meier estimator was used to calculate overall survival, and Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify prognostic factors.ResultsThe systematic review demonstrated an incidence of 0.05–0.3 per 100,000 per year among North American registry studies. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate was 95.5%, 85.9%–87.6%, and 76.0%–80.6%, respectively. Age, stage, and grade were identified as prognostic factors for survival. Our analysis included 1,225 cases. Age-standardised incidence was 0.0335 per year in 1995 and gradually rose to 0.158 per year in 2018. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate was 90.0% [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 85.4–94.0], 76.0% (95% CI: 73.8–80.9), and 68.6% (95% CI: 65.9–72.2), respectively. On univariate Cox regression analyses, female sex, stage, and grade were associated with worse overall survival. On multivariate analysis, only stage remained a statistically significant prognostic factor.ConclusionsGCA of the appendix is rare, but incidence is increasing. We report a lower incidence and survival than North American registry studies. Higher stage was associated with decreased survival. Further prospective studies are required to establish optimal management.

Abstract
Appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinomas and mucinous neoplasms are uncommon compared with other epithelial tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. Both tumour types have been subjected to terminology that belies their biological risk and leads to confusion. Goblet cell adenocarcinomas display patchy staining for endocrine markers and, thus, were previously classified as goblet cell carcinoids. Unlike well-differentiated endocrine neoplasms, however, they often contain high-grade glandular elements and pursue an aggressive course akin to that of conventional adenocarcinoma. Although several authors have recently proposed grading schemes to predict behaviour among goblet cell neoplasms, most that contain high-grade components have already spread beyond the appendix at the time of diagnosis, whereas those confined to the appendix almost always have low-grade features; the added value of grading these tumours is limited. Contradictions also surround the nomenclature of mucinous neoplasms. The World Health Organization and others promote non-malignant terminology to describe metastatic mucinous neoplasms of the peritoneum and eliminate a benign category entirely, even though virtually all neoplasms confined to the appendix pose no recurrence risk following appendectomy. 'Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm' now encompasses a spectrum of benign tumours and malignant neoplasms in the appendix and peritoneum. Although using an umbrella term in this fashion simplifies the roles of pathologists, it provides essentially no actionable information beyond that which is already clinically apparent. Broad strokes nomenclature also ensures that many patients with no risk of recurrence will receive unnecessary surveillance while others will undergo inappropriate surgical procedures due to lapses in communication. Moreover, a surprising number of non-neoplastic mucinous lesions are misclassified as low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, which can result in unwarranted patient concern or even mismanagement. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the literature and describe an approach to appendiceal neoplasms that more clearly denotes their biologic risk.

Appendiceal tumors with glandular and neuroendocrine features exhibiting peritoneal metastases - Critical evaluation of outcome following cytoreductive surgery with perioperative chemotherapy. Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 47:1278-1285. [PMID: 33500181 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.01.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A rare appendiceal malignancy is characterized by both glandular and neuroendocrine histology. It often presents with dissemination of the perforated tumor to peritoneal surfaces. Current treatments involve systemic chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. METHODS The impact of clinical, histological and treatment-related characteristics on survival were evaluated and subjected to univariate statistical analyses. All patients had stage IV disease and were treated by a uniform treatment strategy. Survival was determined from onset of disease until death or most recent follow-up. RESULTS There were 47 patients available for study of whom 17 were male. Median age was 48 with a range of 27-65. None or a single symptom vs. 2 or more symptoms had a significant effect on survival. Median survival of the entire cohort was 45 months and 34.88% and 8.72% of patients survived 5 and 10 years, respectively. The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed no impact on survival. Patients with a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) of 0-20 as compared to PCI > 20 survived longer (p = 0.012). The survival of patients able to have a complete resection as compared to an incomplete resection of disease was significant (p = 0.0087). The type of perioperative chemotherapy did not alter survival. CONCLUSIONS These data show that patients with a lesser extent of disease with a complete cytoreduction had an improved prognosis. No benefit from systemic or perioperative regional chemotherapy was apparent. With long-term follow-up, patients with the combined glandular and neuroendocrine histology exhibiting peritoneal metastases have a guarded prognosis.

Abstract
AIMS Peritoneal spread is the most common route of metastasis in appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of the World Health Organization (WHO) 5th edition grading criteria in peritoneal metastases of goblet cell adenocarcinoma. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the clinicopathological features and survival of 63 patients with peritoneal metastasis of goblet cell adenocarcinoma who underwent cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS-HIPEC), stratified according to the WHO 5th edition and the Tang et al. grading schemes. The patients were also compared with 120 patients with peritoneal metastasis of appendiceal mucinous neoplasia. Most (73%) peritoneal metastases of goblet cell adenocarcinoma were WHO Grade 3 (G3), there being fewer cases of Grade 2 (G2) (16%) and Grade 1 (G1) (11%) disease. No significant differences in overall survival were observed between WHO G1 and G2 tumours or between the three Tang grades. In the multivariable model of survival, WHO G3 [hazard ratio (HR) 2.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-7.70] and the presence of >50% extracellular mucin (HR 2.30, 95% CI 1.09-4.88) were associated with reduced overall survival for patients with goblet cell adenocarcinoma. As compared with patients with peritoneal metastasis of mucinous neoplasia, patients with goblet cell adenocarcinoma had significantly reduced survival (median overall survival of 37 months versus 102 months, P < 0.001), which was attributed to the reduced survival of patients with G1/G2 goblet cell adenocarcinoma as compared with patients with G1 mucinous neoplasia (median survival of 98 months versus 204 months, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Grade of peritoneal goblet cell adenocarcinoma determined according to the WHO 5th edition criteria is a clinically relevant measure that independently predicts survival in patients treated with CRS-HIPEC.

BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastases (PMs) from appendiceal ex-goblet adenocarcinoma (AEGA) are associated with a poor prognosis. While cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been shown to prolong survival, the majority of patients are ineligible for complete cytoreduction. We describe a novel approach to the management of such patients with iterative HIPEC (IHIPEC). METHODS Patients with signet ring/poorly differentiated AEGA with high Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and extensive bowel involvement underwent IHIPEC with mitomycin C at 6-week intervals for a total of three cycles. Survival outcomes for these patients were compared with patients with high-grade appendiceal tumors matched for tumor burden who were treated with other conventional approaches, i.e. systemic chemotherapy only (SCO) or complete CRS + HIPEC. RESULTS Between 2016 and 2019, seven AEGA patients with high PCI (median 32.5 [range 21-36]) underwent 18 IHIPEC cycles (median cycles per patient 3 [2-3]) in combination with systemic chemotherapy (median 2 lines [1-3], 12 cycles [10-28]). IHIPEC was delivered laparoscopically in 14/18 cases. Postoperatively, the median length of stay was 1 day (1-8 days), no procedure-related complications were reported, and five (28%) 90-day readmissions for bowel obstruction were documented. Median overall survival after IHIPEC was better compared with a matched group of patients (n = 16) receiving SCO (24.6 vs. 7.9 months; p = 0.005), and similar to those (n = 7) who underwent CRS + HIPEC (24.6 vs. 16.5 months; p = 0.62). CONCLUSIONS IHIPEC in combination with systemic chemotherapy is tolerable, safe, and may be associated with encouraging survival outcomes compared with SCO in selected patients with high-grade, high-burden AEGA PM.

Comparative study of mucinous and non-mucinous appendiceal neoplasms with peritoneal dissemination treated by cyoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 47:1132-1139.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendiceal non-mucinous neoplasms (AnMN) are rare and poorly understood malignancies with no standard treatment. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is largely used to treat peritoneal disseminations from appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMN), but its role with AnMN is unclear. METHODS A prospective database of 315 patients with advanced appendiceal primaries undergoing CRS/HIPEC during 1996-2020 was reviewed. Baseline characteristics, operative and long-term outcomes of AnMN were compared with those of AMN. AMN were categorized according to PSOGI classification into high-grade, low-grade, and acellular mucin (AC), based on peritoneal disease histology. RESULTS Twenty-three patients (7.3%) with goblet cell carcinoma (GCC; n = 9), intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC; n = 12), and mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC; n = 2) were identified. AnMN patients were more likely to be males (P = 0.006), have preoperative systemic chemotherapy (P = 0.001), grossly incomplete CRS (P = 0.001), and nodal metastases (P = 0.001), but not systemic relapse after CRS/HIPEC (P = 0.133). Median follow-up was 25.1 months (range 0.8-77.3) for AnMN, and 80.9 months (range 0.1-279.2) for AMN. Median overall survival was 24.0 months for AnMN, 66.2 months for high-grade AMN (P = 0.015), 160.0 months for low-grade ANM (P = 0.001), and not reached for AC (P = 0.001). Among AnMN patients, median survival was 23.4 months for GCC, 38.7 months for ITAC, 20.3 months for MANEC (P = 0.855). In the overall series, histological subtype (P = 0.001), incomplete cytoreduction (P = 0.001), and positive lymph-nodes (P = 0.003) correlated with poorer survival at multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS AnMN share with AMN a predominant local-regional dissemination pattern, but prognosis after CRS/HIPEC is worse. This strategy needs to be carefully considered for AnMN. PATIENTS

Defining "Complete Cytoreduction" After Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for the Histopathologic Spectrum of Appendiceal Carcinomatosis. Ann Surg Oncol 2020; 27:5026-5036. [PMID: 32705513 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-08844-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score, which quantifies residual tumor, is a major prognostic factor when treating appendiceal carcinomatosis with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). Both CC-0 and CC-1 are considered complete cytoreductions (CC-0/1) and associated with the best outcomes. We analyzed if the CC-0/1 definition is reliable across appendiceal histopathologic subtypes. METHODS A prospective database of CRS/HIPEC patients with appendiceal carcinomatosis from 1998 to 2019 was reviewed to identify patients with CC-0/1. Kaplan-Meier overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) by CC-score for each histopathology were calculated. RESULTS Overall, 297 patients had CC-0/1. Mean age was 54 ± 12 years with 67% females. Histopathologic subtypes were 45% low-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei (LGMCP), 27% high-grade MCP (HGMCP), 20% HGMCP with signet ring cells (HGMCP-S), and 8% goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCAC). CC-0 and CC-1 occurred in 57% and 43% of LGMCP, 65% and 35% of HGMCP, 68% and 32% of HGMCP-S, and 79% and 21% of GCAC, respectively. OS and PFS were statistically longer for CC-0 versus CC-1 in HGMCP-S (p = 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively) and GCAC (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001), but not in LGMCP (p = 0.098 and p = 0.398) or HGMCP (p = 0.167 and p = 0.356). CONCLUSIONS Survival outcomes for CC-0 and CC-1 after CRS/HIPEC are different for HGMCP-S and GCAC but not for LGMCP and HGMCP. In HGCMP-S and GCAC, only CC-0 should be considered a complete cytoreduction and analyzed separately from CC-1. This distinction is key to understand disease behavior, accurately address patient prognosis, and explore new treatment strategies.
