Yılmaz S, Yur M. Effect of MELD-Na score on overall survival of periampullary cancer. Updates Surg 2024:10.1007/s13304-024-01856-w.

Abstract
Periampullary cancers have a short overall survival (OS), and many prognostic factors have been studied for this purpose. They usually present with biliary obstruction, which negatively affects the liver, kidney, immune system, and cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MELD-Na scores on OS in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy due to periampullary cancer. Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy due to periampullary cancer between January 2010 and January 2021 were included in the study. After applying the exclusion criteria, 80 of the 124 patients were included in the study. The demographic, laboratory, and pathologic data of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate analysis showed that MELD-Na score at admission, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, adjuvant treatment, portal vein resection, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), T-stage, and tumor location were significantly associated with OS (p < 0.1). In multivariate analysis, MELD-Na score at admission (HR: 1.051, 95% CI [1.004-1.101]; p = 0.033), adjuvant treatment (HR: 4.717, 95% CI [2.371-9.383]; p < 0.001), LVI (HR: 2.473, 95% CI [1.355-4.515]; p = 0.003), and tumor location (HR: 2.380, 95% CI [1.274-4.445]; p = 0.007) were independent risk factors for OS. MELD-Na score, adjuvant treatment, LVI, and tumor location were independent risk factors for the OS of periampullary cancer. The MELD-Na score may be used to predict OS for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy due to periampullary cancer.

Machine learning for differentiating between pancreatobiliary-type and intestinal-type periampullary carcinomas based on CT imaging and clinical findings. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024; 49:748-761. [PMID: 38236405 PMCID: PMC10909762 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-04151-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a diagnostic model for distinguishing pancreatobiliary-type and intestinal-type periampullary adenocarcinomas using preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) findings combined with clinical characteristics. METHODS This retrospective study included 140 patients with periampullary adenocarcinoma who underwent preoperative enhanced CT, including pancreaticobiliary (N = 100) and intestinal (N = 40) types. They were randomly assigned to the training or internal validation set in an 8:2 ratio. Additionally, an independent external cohort of 28 patients was enrolled. Various CT features of the periampullary region were evaluated and data from clinical and laboratory tests were collected. Five machine learning classifiers were developed to identify the histologic type of periampullary adenocarcinoma, including logistic regression, random forest, multi-layer perceptron, light gradient boosting, and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). RESULTS All machine learning classifiers except multi-layer perceptron used achieved good performance in distinguishing pancreatobiliary-type and intestinal-type adenocarcinomas, with the area under the curve (AUC) ranging from 0.75 to 0.98. The AUC values of the XGBoost classifier in the training set, internal validation set and external validation set are 0.98, 0.89 and 0.84 respectively. The enhancement degree of tumor, the growth pattern of tumor, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 were the most important factors in the model. CONCLUSION Machine learning models combining CT with clinical features can serve as a noninvasive tool to differentiate the histological subtypes of periampullary adenocarcinoma, in particular using the XGBoost classifier.

Park SJ, Shin K, Hong TH, Lee SH, Kim IH, Kim Y, Lee M. Histologic subtype-based evaluation of recurrence and survival outcomes in patients with adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. Sci Rep 2023; 13:16547. [PMID: 37783755 PMCID: PMC10545688 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-42386-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with ampulla of Vater adenocarcinoma exhibit diverse outcomes, likely since these malignancies can originate from any of the three converging epithelia at this site. Such variability presents difficulties in clinical decision-making processes and in devising therapeutic approaches. In this study, the potential clinical value of histomolecular phenotypes was determined by integrating histopathological analysis with protein expression (MUC1, CDX2, CK20, and MUC2), in a cohort of 87 patients diagnosed with stage IB to III ampulla of Vater adenocarcinoma who underwent curative surgical resection. Of the 87 patients, 54 were classified as pancreato-biliary (PB) subtype and 33 as intestinal subtype. The median follow-up time for all patients was 32.8 months (95% CI, 25.3-49.2). Patients with a histomolecular PB phenotype (CDX2 negative, MUC1 positive, MUC2 negative, and irrespective of the CK20 results) were associated with poor prognostic outcomes in both disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 1.81; 95% CI, 1.04-3.17; p = 0.054) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.01; 95% CI, 1.11-3.66; p = 0.039) compared to those with histomolecular intestinal carcinomas. Patients with the PB subtype were more likely to have local recurrence alone (11 of 37, 29.7%) compared to those with the intestinal subtype (1 of 15, 6.7%). In the context of systemic disease, a notably greater proportion of patients exhibiting elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels were observed in the PB subtype compared to the intestinal subtype (p = 0.024). In the cohort of 38 patients who received first-line palliative chemotherapy, a diminished median overall survival (OS) was observed in the PB group compared to the intestinal group (10.3 vs. 28.3 months, HR = 2.47; 95% CI, 1.23-4.95; p = 0.025). By integrating histopathologic and molecular criteria, we can identify distinct and clinically relevant histomolecular phenotypes in adenocarcinomas of the ampulla of Vater, which could have considerable impact on existing therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The incidence of ampulla of Vater carcinoma, a type of periampullary cancer, has been increasing at an annual percentage rate of 0.9%. However, patients with ampulla of Vater carcinoma have quite different prognoses due to the heterogeneities of the tissue origin of this carcinoma. In addition to TNM staging, histological subtypes and molecular features of ampulla of Vater carcinoma are the key factors for predicting the clinical outcomes of patients. Fortunately, with the development of testing technology, information on the histological subtypes and molecular features of ampulla of Vater carcinoma is increasingly being analyzed in-depth. Patients with the pancreaticobiliary subtype have shorter survival times. In immunohistochemical examination, high cutoff values of positive MUC1 staining can be used to accurately predict the outcome of patients. Mutant KRAS, TP53, negative SMAD4 expression, and microsatellite stability are related to poor prognosis, while the clinical value of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations is limited for prognosis. Testing the histological subtypes and molecular characteristics of ampulla of Vater carcinoma not only is the key to prognosis analysis but also provides extra information for targeted treatment to improve the clinical outcomes of patients.
