Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) long-term survivor is a rapid enlarging group. However, the effectiveness of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) on this group is unknown. This nationwide population-based study in Taiwan was designed to examine the effect of PPSV23 on incidence rate ratio (IRR) of pneumonia hospitalization, cumulative incidence, and overall survival rate for these long-term CRC survivors. This cohort study was based on the Taiwan Cancer Registry and Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000-2017. After individual exact matching to covariates with 1:1 ratio, there were a total of 1,355 vaccinated and 1,355 unvaccinated survivors. After adjusted by multivariate Poisson regression model, vaccinated group had a non-significantly lower pneumonia hospitalization risk than unvaccinated, with an adjusted IRR of 0.879 (p = .391). Besides, vaccinated group had both lower cumulative incidence rate and higher overall survival time than unvaccinated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) at ICU admission and prognosis in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted. Patients were divided into low (<0.659) LAR and high LAR (≥0.659) groups. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis was conducted to select variables associated with the 30-day prognosis. Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the association between LAR and mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare cumulative survival rates between high and low LAR groups. Subgroup analysis was employed to assess the stability of the results. ROC curve was used to determine the diagnostic efficacy of LAR on prognosis. RESULTS A nonlinear relationship was observed between LAR and the risk of 30-day and 360-day all-cause mortality in AKI patients (p < 0.001). Cox regulation showed that high LAR (≥ 0.659) was an independent risk factor for 30-day and 360-day all-cause mortality in patients with AKI (p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated a noteworthy decrease in cumulative survival rates at both 30 and 360 days for the high LAR group in comparison to the low LAR group (p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses demonstrated the stability of the results. ROC curves showed that LAR had a diagnostic advantage when compared with lactate or albumin alone (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION High LAR (≥0.659) at ICU admission was an independent risk factor for both short-term (30-day) and long-term (360-day) all-cause mortality in patients with AKI.

Abstract
International comparisons of cancer surveillance measures may provide insight into inequalities in registration practices, etiological factors, and treatment strategies. This study aimed to compare incidence, survival, and mortality of cancer in children and young adolescents between Belgium and the Netherlands. All children (0-14 years) and young adolescents (15-17 years) diagnosed with cancer between 2004 and 2015 were selected from the population-based cancer registries of Belgium (N = 4739) and the Netherlands (N = 7322). Differences in incidence and mortality were expressed as standardized rate ratios (SRR; BE/NL). Five-year observed survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. During 2004-2015, the overall cancer incidence among children and young adolescents was similar in both countries. Incidence of neuroblastoma was significantly higher in Belgian children (2010-2015: SRR = 1.3, 95% CI 1.0-1.6). Five-year survival of all malignant cancers was comparable in 2010-2015, exceeding 80% in both age groups. Remarkable differences in survival existed in children for malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors in 2004-2009 (BE = 62%, NL = 45%), for acute myeloid leukemia (BE = 68%, NL = 78%) and rhabdomyosarcomas (BE = 60%, NL = 79%) in 2010-2015, and for neuroblastoma in both periods (2004-2009: BE = 76%, NL = 64%; 2010-2015: BE = 82%, NL = 64%). Overall cancer mortality in children decreased by approximately 3 percent-points annually in both countries, but was slightly lower in Belgium in 2004-2009 (SRR = 0.9, 95% CI 0.7-1.0). Despite differences for specific cancer types, overall cancer incidence, survival, and mortality were comparable between Dutch and Belgian children and young adolescents in 2010-2015. Variability in screening, diagnosis, and registration practices probably explains the observed differences in incidence and survival of neuroblastoma and malignant CNS tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare disease accounting only for 5%-10% of urothelial carcinoma (UC). For localized high-risk disease, radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the standard of care. While minimally invasive (MIS) RNU has not been shown to decisively improve overall survival (OS) compared to open surgery, MIS RNU has been associated with reduced hospital length of stay (LOS), blood transfusion requirements and improved recovery, which are important considerations when treating older patients. The purpose of this study is to examine trends in surgical approach selection and outcomes of open vs. MIS RNU in patients aged ≥80 years. METHODS Using the National Cancer Database (NCDB), patients aged ≥80 years who underwent open or MIS (either robotic or laparoscopic) RNU were identified from 2010 to 2019. Demographic, patient-related, and disease-specific factors associated with either open or MIS RNU were assessed using multivariate logistic regression models. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox-proportional hazard regression. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was utilized to adjust for confounding variables. Survival analysis was also conducted on the IPTW adjusted cohort using Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox-proportional hazard regression. RESULTS 5,687 patients were identified, with 1,431 (25.2%) and 4,256 (74.8%) patients undergoing open and MIS RNU respectively. The proportion of RNU performed robotically has increased from 12.5% in 2010 to 50.4% in 2019. MIS was associated with a shorter hospital LOS (4.7 days versus 5.9 days, SMD 23.7%). Multivariate analysis revealed that MIS was associated with a significant reduction in 90-day mortality (OR: 0.571; 95%CI: 0.34-0.96, P = 0.033) and improved median OS (53.8 months [95%CI: 50.9-56.9] vs 42.35 months [95%CI: 38.6-46.8], P < 0.001) compared to open surgery. IPTW-adjusted survival analysis revealed improved median OS with MIS when compared to open surgery, with a survival benefit of 46.1 months (95%CI: 40.2-52.4 months) versus 37.7 months (95%CI: 32.6-46.5 months, P = 0.0034) respectively. IPTW-adjusted cox proportional hazard analysis demonstrated that MIS was significantly associated with reduced mortality (HR 0.76, 95%CI: 0.66-0.87, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In octogenarians undergoing RNU, MIS is associated with improved median OS and 90-day mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is the second most common primary liver malignancy with increasing rates of incidence and mortality. Surgical resection is curative for patients who are diagnosed at early stages of iCCA. Limited data exist regarding risk factors for postresection recurrence and overall survival as iCCA is rare, and majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and thus not candidates for resection. We aimed to analyze clinical and laboratory characteristics, tumor histology, locoregional invasion, recurrence and survival in patients undergoing curative resection for iCCA. METHODS All patients who underwent curative resection for iCCA between 2006 and 2023 at our institution were included in the study. Clinical characteristics, laboratory, histological and follow-up data were collected. RESULTS The 1-, 3-, and, 5-year survival rates were 90.9%, 65.9% and 44.2%, respectively. About 65.6% of patients had recurrence in a median of 1.2 years after liver resection. Positive surgical margins were present in 20.73% of patients. Notably, 80.51% had solitary tumor and the remaining 19.48% had multifocal tumor. A total of 64.51% of patients received adjuvant chemotherapy after resection. A total of 26 (31.3%) patients had died during the follow-up period. Duration from liver resection to last follow-up or death was 1.6 years (0.8-3.2). Overall median survival was 4.6 years. The presence of lymph node metastases, vascular invasion, positive surgical margin and advanced tumor stage at diagnosis were associated with significantly worse overall survival, which remained significant in multivariable model for advanced tumor stage and positive surgical margin. CONCLUSION Despite curative resection, recurrence rate is high and overall survival is poor in patients with iCCA. Real-world data regarding patient characteristics and longitudinal follow-up remain important as iCCA is a rare malignancy.

Abstract
Secondary central nervous system involvement (sCNSi) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is fatal. However, its features in patients with sCNSi who are categorized as lower risk by international prognostic index (IPI) or CNS-IPI are not yet fully understood. In the present analysis, we evaluated DLBCL patients who developed sCNSi at their first progression and who participated in JCOG0601, most of whom were lower risk by IPI. Of 409 patients, 21 (5.1%) developed sCNSi during a median follow-up of 4.9 years. Five-year cumulative incidence of sCNSi were 5.1%; and 4.0%, 5.3%, and 11.5% at low, intermediate, and high risk of CNS-IPI, respectively. The most common locations of extranodal lesions at the time of registration in patients with sCNSi were the stomach (n = 4), paranasal cavity (n = 3), and bone marrow (n = 2). In univariable analysis, paranasal cavity lesion was a high-risk factor for sCNSi (subdistribution hazard ratio, 4.34 [95% confidence interval 1.28-14.73]). Median overall survival after sCNSi was 1.3 years, with a 2-year overall survival rate of 39.3%. The incidence of sCNSi in DLBCL patients at lower risk of CNS-IPI was low, as previously reported, but paranasal cavity lesion might indicate high risk for organ involvement. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: JCOG0601 was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000000929, date of registration; December 04, 2007) and the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031180139, date of registration; February 20, 2019).

Abstract
T lymphoblastic leukemia /lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) is a rare and highly aggressive neoplasm of lymphoblasts. We evaluated 195 T-ALL/LBL adolescent and adult patients who received ALL-type chemotherapy alone (chemo,n = 72) or in combination with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(auto-HSCT,n = 23) or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT,n = 100) from January 2006 to September 2020 in three Chinese medical centers. 167 (85.6%) patients achieved overall response (ORR) with 138 complete response (CR) patients (70.8%) and 29 partial response (PR) patients (14.8%). Until October 1, 2023, no difference was found in 5-year overall survival (5-OS) and 5-year progression free survival(5-PFS) between allo-HSCT and auto-HSCT (5-OS 57.9% vs. 36.7%, P = 0.139, 5-year PFS 49.4% vs. 28.6%, P = 0.078) for patients who achieved CR, for patients who achieved PR, allo-HSCT recipients had higher 5-OS compared with chemo alone recipients (5-OS 23.8% vs. 0, P = 0.042). For patients undergoing allo-HSCT, minimal residual disease (MRD) negative population showed better 5-OS survival compared with MRD positive patients (67.8% vs. 19.6%, p = 0.000). There were no significant differences between early T-cell precursor (ETP), NON-ETP patients with or without expression of one or more myeloid-associated or stem cell-associated (M/S+) markers (NON-ETP with M/S+, NON-ETP without M/S+) groups in allo-HSCT population for 5-OS. (62.9% vs. 54.5% vs.48.4%, P > 0.05). Notch mutations were more common in patients with non-relapsed/refractory disease than relapsed/refractory disease (χ² =4.293, P = 0.038). In conclusion, Allo-HSCT could be an effective consolidation therapy not just for patients with CR, but also for those who achieved PR. The prognosis is significantly improved by obtaining MRD negative prior to allogeneic transplantation.

Abstract
The international prognostic index (IPI) system has been widely used to predict prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, this system categorizes DLBCL patients into four risk groups, and cannot optimize individualized prognosis. In addition, other clinicopathological factors, such as molecular aberrations, are not incorporated into the system. To partly overcome these weak points, we developed nomograms to predict individual patient survival. We also incorporated MYD88L265P and CD79BY196 mutations into the nomograms since these mutations are associated with a worse prognosis and their signaling pathways have been highlighted as a therapeutic target. We analyzed 302 DLBCL cases for which multivariate analysis by Cox proportional hazard regression was performed. Nomograms for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were constructed and assessed by a concordance index (C-index). The nomograms were also evaluated using an open external dataset (n = 187). The MYD88L265P and/or CD79BY196 (MYD88/CD79B) mutation was detected in 62/302 patients. The nomograms incorporating IPI factors exhibited a C-index of 0.738 for PFS and a C-index of 0.765 for OS. The nomograms incorporating IPI factors and the MYD88/CD79B mutation showed a C-index of 0.745 for PFS and a C-index of 0.769 for OS. The nomograms we created were evaluated using an external dataset and were well validated. The present nomograms incorporating IPI factors and the MYD88/CD79B mutation have sufficient discrimination ability, and may effectively predict prognosis in DLBCL patients. The prognostic models we have presented here may help clinicians personalize prognostic assessments and clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to advances in the multidisciplinary treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a conceptualization and definition for borderline resectable (BR) HCC, which carries a high risk of recurrence, is warranted. In this study, we aimed to define BR-HCC using a prognosis-oriented approach. STUDY DESIGN The study included an original cohort of 221 patients and an independent validation cohort of 181 patients who had undergone primary hepatic resection for HCC. To define biological BR-HCC, we evaluated the risk factors for early recurrence beyond the Milan criteria within 1 year after hepatic resection using multivariable logistic regression models. Subsequently, we developed high-risk scores using the identified risk factors and defined BR-HCC. The utility of high-risk score was validated in the validation cohort. RESULTS In the original cohort (hepatitis B virus:hepatitis C virus = 20%:29%), recurrence beyond the Milan criteria within 1 year was observed in 28 patients (13%), with a 5-year survival rate of 25%. Multivariable analysis identified risk factors for recurrence beyond the Milan criteria within 1 year, including serum alpha-fetoprotein levels of 12 ng/mL or more (p = 0.02), tumor diameters less than 5 cm (p = 0.02), tumor number 3 or more (p = 0.001), and macrovascular invasion (p = 0.04). BR-HCC was defined as a tumor with 2 or more identified risk factors, and 42 patients (19%) were diagnosed with BR-HCC, with a 5-year survival rate of 51%. In the validation cohort, 45 (25%) patients had BR-HCC, with a 5-year survival rate of 42%. CONCLUSIONS The prognosis-oriented definition of BR-HCC enabled us to identify patients who are susceptible to early unresectable recurrence and have poor survival after hepatic resection for HCC. For patients with BR-HCC, preoperative systemic therapy may be a viable option to improve postresection outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with increased mortality in various cancers, but the relationship between obesity and clinical outcomes in unresectable or recurrent esophageal cancer who receive immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains unknown. This study investigated the association between body composition and clinical outcomes in patients with unresectable or recurrent esophageal cancer who received ICIs. METHODS Utilizing an unbiased database of 111 unresectable or recurrent esophageal cancers, we evaluated the relationships between body composition (body mass index, waist circumference, psoas major muscle volume, and subcutaneous and visceral fat areas) at the initiation of ICI treatment and clinical outcomes including the disease control rate and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Waist circumference was significantly associated with the disease control rate at the first assessment (P = 0.0008). A high waist circumference was significantly associated with favorable PFS in patients treated with nivolumab. In an univariable model, for 5-cm increase of waist circumference in the outcome category of PFS, univariable hazard ratio (HR) was 0.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.87; P = 0.0002). A multivariable model controlling for potential confounders yielded a similar finding (multivariable HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.33-0.94; P = 0.027). We observed the similar finding in esophageal cancer patients treated with pembrolizumab+CDDP+5-FU (P = 0.048). In addition, waist circumference was significantly associated with the prognostic nutritional index (P = 0.0073). CONCLUSIONS A high waist circumference was associated with favorable clinical outcomes in ICI-treated patients with unresectable or recurrent esophageal cancer, providing a platform for further investigations on the relationships among body composition, nutrition, and the immune status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on postoperative recovery from oncology surgeries should be understood for the clinical decision-making. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the postoperative cumulative 28-day mortality and the morbidity of surgical oncology patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients consecutively admitted to intensive care units (ICU) of three centres for postoperative care of oncologic surgeries between March to June 2019 (first phase) and March to June 2020 (second phase). The primary outcome was cumulative 28-day postoperative mortality. Secondary outcomes were postoperative organic dysfunction and the incidence of clinical complications. Because of the possibility of imbalance between groups, adjusted analyses were performed: Cox proportional hazards model (primary outcome) and multiple logistic regression model (secondary outcomes). RESULTS After screening 328 patients, 291 were included. The proportional hazard of cumulative 28-day mortality was higher in the second phase than that in the first phase in the Cox model, with the adjusted hazard ratio of 4.35 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.15-8.82). The adjusted incidences of respiratory complications (odds ratio [OR] 5.35; 95% CI 1.42-20.11) and pulmonary infections (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.08-2.17) were higher in the second phase. However, the adjusted incidence of other infections was lower in the second phase (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.67-0.91). CONCLUSIONS Surgical oncology patients who underwent postoperative care in the intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic had higher hazard of 28-day mortality. Furthermore, these patients had higher odds of respiratory complications and pulmonary infections. Trials registration The study is registered in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials under the code RBR-8ygjpqm, UTN code U1111-1293-5414.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two distinct histological growth patterns (HGPs) were described in patients with peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer origin (PMCRC) with limited Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) ≤ 6 who did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and were treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC): pushing HGP (P-HGP) and infiltrating HGP (I-HGP). Patients with dominant P-HGP (> 50%) had significantly better disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine whether these previous observations regarding the prognostic value of HGP in patients with PMCRC with low PCI (≤ 6) are also valid in all operable patients, regardless of whether they received NAC or not and regardless of PCI score. METHODS This was a retrospective study including 76 patients who underwent complete CRS ± HIPEC for PMCRC between July 2012 and March 2019. In each patient, up to five of the largest excised peritoneal nodules were analyzed for their tumor-to-peritoneum interface. Correlations between NAC, HGP, and prognosis were further explored. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients (49%) had dominant P-HGP and 39 (51%) had dominant I-HGP. On univariate analysis, patients with P-HGP ≤ 50% had significantly lower OS than those with dominant P-HGP > 50% (39 versus 60 months; p = 0.014) confirmed on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 2.4, 95% confidence interval 1.3-4.5; p = 0.006). There were no significant associations between NAC and type of HGP. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the prognostic value and reproducibility of the two previously reported HGPs in PMCRC. Dominant P-HGP is associated with better DFS and OS in patients undergoing curative-intent CRS ± HIPEC compared with I-HGP, independently of the extent of peritoneal disease burden.

Optimal Time-to-Surgery Recommendations Based on Primary Tumor Volume Regression for Patients with Resectable Esophageal Cancer after Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy: A Retrospective Study. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:3803-3812.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) has shown promise in improving the prognosis of individuals with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC). However, the factors influencing tumor response and long-term survival in these patients remain unknown. The optimal timing for surgery after the completion of radiotherapy in LA-ESCC remains controversial. Therefore, this study was designed to identify biomarkers and to determine the optimal post-NCRT time-to-surgery (TTS) for patients with LA-ESCC. METHODS This retrospective study included patients with resectable LA-ESCC who underwent NCRT between May 2017 and June 2021. The tumor shrinkage rate was calculated as the difference between the pre- and post-primary gross tumor volume (GTVp) divided by the pre-GTVp. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to calculate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS We collected data from 248 patients with resectable LA-ESCC who underwent computed tomography (CT) scans before the initiation of treatment. The median follow-up time was 37.7 months. The optimal cutoff of tumor shrinkage was 45%. In the univariate and multivariate analyses, we found a significant association between the tumor shrinkage rate and PFS (p = 0.001). Among the subgroup of patients who responded to treatment, extending the TTS was associated with improved OS (p = 0.037) and PFS (p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS For patients with resectable LA-ESCC, the tumor shrinkage rate is an independent prognostic factor for PFS. Thus, for responders, prolonging TTS is recommended to obtain a better OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation impacts outcomes in various cancers. We examined this association in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients using the area deprivation index (ADI). METHODS We conducted a single-institution retrospective cohort study on NPC patients treated with definitive radiotherapy from 1980 to 2023. ADI was used as the primary exposure measure. Higher ADI indicates higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation. RESULTS Of 561 patients, those with higher ADI (6-10 vs. 1-5) presented more commonly with AJCC stage III/IV compared to I/II (87% vs. 76%, p = 0.03). Increasing ADI decile score correlated with poorer overall survival (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.01-1.28, p = 0.04). Local control was worse in patients from the most deprived quartile in the cohort ADI 5-10 (HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.01-4.41, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS NPC patients from more disadvantaged neighborhoods undergoing radiotherapy had worse local control and survival outcomes. Interventions to address structural determinants of health and neighborhood disparities may improve these outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a rare sinonasal malignancy. Curative treatment requires multidisciplinary approach, with surgical options consist of the endonasal endoscopic approach (EEA) and external surgery (EXTS). Here, we provide the post-operative and survival results from a single-center long-term follow-up. METHODS We report long-term follow-up of 92 ITAC cases treated between 1998 and 2018, treated with EEA (n = 40) or EXTS (n = 52). Survival estimates, post-operative complications and duration of hospitalization were compared between surgical modalities. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar. A higher number of T4b tumors (16%), and subsequently more tumoral invasion (39%), was present in patients undergoing EXTS compared to EEA (3% and 18%, respectively). No difference in Barnes histology subtypes was noticed. Patients undergoing EEA had a shorter post-operative hospitalization stay versus EXTS (4 versus 7 days). Use of EEA was associated to improved disease-specific survival (DSS; 11.4 versus 4.4 years; HREEA = 0.53), especially for patients with T3-4a tumors (11.4 versus 3.0 years; HREEA = 0.41). Patients with T3-4 stage, tumoral invasion, positive surgical margins, mucinous or mixed histology, and prolonged post-operative hospital stay showed poor local relapse-free, disease-free, overall, and DSS. CONCLUSIONS Long-term follow-up in locally advanced ITAC demonstrates that resection by EEA is correlated with improved DSS compared to EXTS, especially for T3-4 tumors. No significant differences between both treatment modalities was observed regarding per- and post-operative complications, although hospitalization in patients undergoing EEA was shorter than for patients treated with EXTS. These results confirm that EEA should remain the preferred surgical procedure in operable cases of sinonasal ITAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastases (PM) develop in approximately 20% of patients with gastric cancer (GC). For selected patients, treatment of PM with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has shown promising results. This report aims to describe the safety and perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic HIPEC for GC/PM. METHODS This retrospective cohort study evaluated patients who had GC and PM treated with laparoscopic HIPEC (2018-2022). The HIPEC involved cisplatin and mitomycin C (MMC) or MMC alone. The primary end point was perioperative safety. RESULTS The 22 patients in this study underwent 27 procedures. The mean age was 58 ± 13 years. All the patients were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1 (55 and 45%, respectively). Five patients underwent a second laparoscopic HIPEC, with a median of 126 days (interquartile range [IQR], 117-166 days) between procedures. The median peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) was 4 (IQR, 2-9), and the median hospital stay was 2 days (IQR, 1-3 days). No 30-day readmissions or complications occurred. Eight patients (36%) underwent gastrectomy (CRS ± HIPEC). After an average follow-up period of 11 months, 7 (32%) of the 22 patients were alive. The median overall survival was 11 months (IQR, 195-739 days) from the initial procedure and 19.3 months (IQR, 431-1204 days) from the diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic HIPEC appears to be safe with minimal perioperative complications. Approximately one third of the patients undergoing initial laparoscopic HIPEC ultimately proceeded to cytoreduction and gastrectomy. Preliminary survival data from this highly selected cohort suggest that the addition of laparoscopic HIPEC to systemic chemotherapy does not compromise other treatment options. These initial results suggest that laparoscopic HIPEC may offer benefit to patients with GC and PM and aid in the selection of patients who may benefit from curative-intent resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Assess safety and local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS) of percutaneous cryoablation for pleural-based thoracic malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study of 46 patients (17 treated for palliation; 9 for oligoprogression; 20 for curative intent), with 62 pleural-based thoracic lesions, treated in 59 cryoablation sessions. Patients were treated from 9/2005-11/2021 with CryoCare CS (Varian, Irvine, CA) or IceFORCE (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA) systems. For tumors treated with curative intent and/or oligoprogression, LTPFS of the treated tumor(s) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Post-operative complications were reported for all sessions, including those with palliative intent; univariate analyses were used to calculate factors associated with increased complication risk. RESULTS Median number of tumors treated in a single treatment session was 1 (range 1-4). Largest dimension of the treated tumor was 2.1 cm [IQR:0.9-5 cm]. Of the 59 treatments, 98.3 % were technically successful. Median LTPFS was 14.4 (95 % CI: 9.4-25.6) months. Tumor size was a significant predictor of LTPFS (HR: 1.21, 95 % CI: 1.03-1.44, p = 0.023). Median OS was 52.4 (28.1-NR) months. Complications occurred in 28/59 sessions (47.5 %); 2/59 (3.4 %) were ≥ grade D by Society of Interventional Radiology adverse event criteria (death; hypoxia requiring supplemental oxygen upon discharge). Pain and pneumothorax were the most common complications. The length of lung parenchyma traversed was a significant predictor of pneumothorax: HR 0.48 (95 %CI: 0.14-0.83), p = 0.0024. CONCLUSION Percutaneous cryoablation for pleural lesions is associated with a long duration of local control and most complications were minor and self-limited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score, widely used in predicting long-term prognosis for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has limitations due to serum albumin variability. This study aimed to develop and validate the Prealbumin-Bilirubin (preALBI) score as a reliable alternative. METHODS A multicenter cohort of HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy was randomly divided into the training and validation cohorts. The preALBI score was developed using Cox regression models within the training cohort, incorporating serum prealbumin and bilirubin levels as crucial determinants. The survival predictive accuracy was evaluated and compared between the preALBI score with two other staging systems, including the ALBI score and the Child-Pugh grade. RESULTS A total of 2409 patients were enrolled. In the training cohort, the preALBI score demonstrated superior performance in predicting long-term survival after hepatectomy. The preALBI score was associated with the best monotonicity of gradients (linear trend χ2: 72.84) and homogeneity (likelihood ratio χ2: 74.69), and the highest discriminatory ability (the areas under curves for 1-, 3-, and 5-year mortality: 0.663, 0.654, and 0.644, respectively). In addition, the preALBI was the most informative staging system in predicting survival (Akaike information criterion: 11325.65).The results remained consistent in both training and validation cohorts, indicating its reliable performance across different populations. CONCLUSION The preALBI score, leveraging the stability of prealbumin, represents a promising tool for better patient stratification, providing more accurate prognostic predictions than the ALBI score and the Child-Pugh grade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although addition of adjuvant chemotherapy is the current standard, the prognosis of pancreatic cancers still remains poor. The NEPAFOX trial evaluated perioperative treatment with FOLFIRINOX in resectable pancreatic cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter phase II trial randomized patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer without metastases into arm (A,) upfront surgery plus adjuvant gemcitabine, or arm (B,) perioperative FOLFIRINOX. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). RESULTS Owing to poor accrual, recruitment was prematurely stopped after randomization of 40 of the planned 126 patients (A: 21, B: 19). Overall, approximately three-quarters were classified as primarily resectable (A: 16, B: 15), and the remaining patients were classified as borderline resectable (A: 5, B: 4). Of the 12 evaluable patients, 3 achieved partial response under neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX. Of the 21 patients in arm A and 19 patients in arm B, 17 and 7 underwent curative surgery, and R0-resection was achieved in 77% and 71%, respectively. Perioperative morbidity occurred in 72% in arm A and 46% in arm B, whereas non-surgical toxicity was comparable in both arms. Median RFS/PFS was almost doubled in arm B (14.1 months) compared with arm A (8.4 months) in the population with surgical resection, whereas median OS was comparable between both arms. CONCLUSIONS Although the analysis was only descriptive owing to small patient numbers, no safety issues regarding surgical complications were observed in the perioperative FOLFIRINOX arm. Thus, considering the small number of patients, perioperative treatment approach appears feasible and potentially effective in well-selected cohorts of patients. In pancreatic cancer, patient selection before initiation of neoadjuvant therapy appears to be critical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Local therapy for the primary tumor is postulated to remove resistant cancer cells as well as immunosuppressive cells from the tumor microenvironment, potentially improving response to systemic therapy (ST). We sought to determine whether resection of the primary tumor was associated with overall survival (OS) in a multicentric cohort of patients with single-site synchronous oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer. STUDY DESIGN Using the National Cancer Database (2018 to 2020), we evaluated patients with clinical stage IVA disease who received ST and stratified the cohort based on receipt of surgery for the primary tumor (S). We used multivariable and propensity score-matched analysis to study factors associated with S (logistic regression) and OS (Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier), respectively. RESULTS Among 12,215 patients identified, 2.9% (N = 349) underwent S and 97.1% (N = 11,886) ST (chemotherapy or immunotherapy) without surgery. Patients who underwent S were younger, more often White, had higher income levels, were more likely to have private insurance, and were more often treated at an academic facility. Among those who received S, 22.9% (N = 80) also underwent resection of the distant metastatic site. On multivariable analysis, metastasis to bone, N+ disease, and higher T-stages were independently associated with less S. On Cox regression, S and resection of the metastatic site were associated with improved survival (hazard ratio 0.67, 95% CI 0.56 to 0.80 and hazard ratio 0.80, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.88, respectively). After propensity matching, OS was improved in patients undergoing S (median 36.8 vs 20.8 months, log-rank p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Advances in ST for non-small cell lung cancer may change the paradigm of eligibility for surgery. This study demonstrates that surgical resection of the primary tumor is associated with improved OS in selected patients with single-site oligometastatic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of changes in skeletal muscle and sarcopenia on outcomes during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACR) for patients with esophageal cancer remains controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer who received NACR followed by esophagectomy between June 2013 and December 2021. The images at third lumbar vertebra were analyzed to measure the cross-sectional area and calculate skeletal muscle index (SMI) before and after NACR. SMI less than 52.4 cm2/m2 for men and less than 38.5 cm2/m2 for women were defined as sarcopenia. The nonlinearity of the effect of percent changes in SMI (ΔSMI%) to survival outcomes was assessed by restricted cubic splines. RESULTS Overall, data of 367 patients were analyzed. The survival outcomes between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups had no significant differences before NACR. However, patients in post-NACR sarcopenia group showed poor overall survival (OS) benefit (P = 0.016) and poor disease-free survival (DFS) (P = 0.043). Severe postoperative complication rates were 11.9% in post-NACR sarcopenia group and 5.0% in post-NACR non-sarcopenia group (P = 0.019). There was a significant non-linear relationship between ΔSMI% and survival outcomes (P < 0.05 for non-linear). On the multivariable analysis of OS, ΔSMI% > 12% was the independent prognostic factor (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.03-2.99, P = 0.039) and significant difference was also found on DFS analysis (P = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS Patients with post-neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy sarcopenia have worse survival and adverse short-term outcomes. Moreover, greater loss in SMI is associated with increased risks of death and disease progression during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, with maximum impact noted with SMI loss greater than 12%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 4-9% of patients have a tumor-positive resection margin after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and esophagectomy. Although it is associated with decreased survival, Western guidelines do not recommend adjuvant treatment. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the proportion of patients who received adjuvant therapy, and to evaluate overall survival (OS) after esophagectomy in patients with a tumor-positive resection margin. METHODS Patients diagnosed with resectable (cT2-4a/cTxN0-3/NxM0) esophageal cancer between 2015 and 2022, and treated with nCRT followed by irradical esophagectomy, were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with a tumor-positive resection margin who started adjuvant treatment ≤16 weeks after esophagectomy, including chemotherapy/radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. OS was calculated from the date of surgery until the date of death or last day of follow-up. RESULTS Overall, 376 patients were included in our study, of whom 357 were treated with nCRT. Of these 357 patients, 98.3% had a microscopically irradical resection and 1.7% had a macroscopically irradical resection. Approximately 72.3% of tumors showed a partial response (Mandard 2-3) and 11.8% showed little/no pathological response (Mandard 4-5) to nCRT. One of 357 patients underwent adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and 39 patients (61%) underwent adjuvant immunotherapy (nivolumab). The median and 5-year OS rate of all patients was 16.4 months (95% confidence interval 13.1-19.8) and 21%, respectively. CONCLUSION Real-world population-level data showed that no patients with a tumor-positive resection margin underwent adjuvant therapy following nCRT and esophagectomy prior to 2021. Interestingly, 61% of patients were treated with adjuvant nivolumab in 2021-2022. OS after irradical esophagectomy is poor and long-term data will explore the added value of nivolumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines support adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment after Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURB) for intermediate- or high-risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) patients, aiming to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. The quality of data, however, does not allow definitive conclusions on whether different strains and dosages of BCG have different efficacies on long-term survival outcomes. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term survival outcomes of different strains and dosages of BCG in patients with NMIBC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS All NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG therapy from 2001 to 2020 were identified using a territory-wide database in Hong Kong. INTERVENTION BCG strains and dosages (Connaught strain 81 mg, Connaught strain 27 mg, Tokyo strain 80 mg, and Danish strain 30 mg) were retrieved from medical records. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Overall Survival (OS), Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS), Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS), and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. A multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to adjust potential confounding factors, and to estimate Hazard Ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of different BCG strains. A further subgroup analysis on adequate versus inadequate BCG treatment was performed. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS A total of 2602 NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG were identified. Among them, 1291 (49.6%) received Connaught strain 81 mg, 199 (7.6%) received Connaught strain 27 mg, 1014 (39.0%) received Tokyo strain, and 98 (3.8%) received Danish strain. The median follow-up was 11.0 years. No statistically significant differences in OS, CSS, RFS, and PFS were detected among the different groups. At the multivariable analysis, the Connaught strain 27 mg group was inferior to the Connaught strain 81 mg group in terms of OS (HR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.05-1.51), CSS (HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.08-2.66), and PFS (HR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.20-2.88). Adequate BCG treatment was associated with improved OS (HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.73-0.92), CSS (HR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47-0.86), RFS (HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.70-0.92), and PFS (HR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.39-0.68). Among patients treated with adequate BCG, at the multivariable analysis the Connaught strain 27 mg group showed worse results than the Connaught strain 81 mg group in terms of CSS (HR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.07-3.51). Compared with the Connaught strain 81 mg group, both Tokyo and Danish strains had similar survival outcomes in the whole cohort and the adequate BCG treatment subgroup. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that adequate BCG remains the most important factor in optimizing survival outcomes in patients with intermediate- and high-risk NMIBC. No significant differences in survival outcomes were observed between full-dose Connaught, Tokyo, and Danish strains. Reduced-dose Connaught strain was associated with the worst survival outcomes. PATIENT SUMMARY We evaluated the efficacy of different strains and dosages of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in patients with intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the past two decades in Hong Kong. We conclude no significant differences in long-term survival outcomes in terms of full-dose Connaught, Tokyo, and Danish strains, while reduced-dose Connaught strain was inferior to the full-dose group. Adequate BCG treatment benefits long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has a poor prognosis even after curative-intent hepatic resection due to a high recurrence rate. The aim of this study was to investigate preoperative risk factors for early recurrence after surgery for ICC, which may help to identify patients who need preoperative chemotherapy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 51 patients who had undergone primary surgery for ICC. We investigated the association of preoperative clinical variables with recurrence within 1 year after resection for ICC. We then created a high-risk ICC score using the identified preoperative factors and investigated the association of the score with disease-free and overall survival. RESULTS Recurrence within 1 year after surgery for ICC was significantly associated with poor overall survival (P < .01). In the multivariate analysis, preoperative tumor size > 5 cm (P = .03) and elevated C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) (P = .04) were significantly associated with recurrence within 1 year after surgery. A high-risk ICC score of 2 was associated with poor disease-free survival (P < .01) and overall survival (P = .02) compared with a score of 0 or 1. CONCLUSIONS Our high-risk ICC score, combining preoperative tumor size and CAR, can be an indicator of early recurrence and poor survival in patients after hepatic resection for ICC. Our findings may provide better preoperative risk stratification of patients with ICC, and the high-risk ICC patients may benefit from preoperative therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) undergoing intensified androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), not achieving an optimal PSA response, defined as PSA nadir >0.2 ng/ml (PSAsubOR) has been associated with worse survival outcomes in clinical trials (1)(10)(11). Here, we externally evaluate, the impact of optimal PSA response on survival outcomes in these patients and provide absolute PFS and OS measures in those with PSAsubOR in the context of ADT intensification in real world setting. METHODS In this retrospective study, all consecutive patients with mHSPC who underwent intensified ADT treated at our institution, and whose outcomes data were available, were included. We classified patients based on their PSA nadir on treatment: those with a on treatment PSAOR (PSA nadir ≤0.2 ng/ml) versus PSAsubOR. RESULTS A total of 205 patients were eligible: 136 (66.3%) patients achieved PSAOR versus 69 (33.7%) patients had PSAsubOR. Patients who experienced a PSAOR had significantly improved PFS and OS from the start of intensified ADT versus who did not: PFS was not reached (NR) versus 11 months (hazard ratio (HR) 0.20, P < 0.001) and OS was NR versus 38.9 months (HR 0.21, P < 0.001). Survival outcomes were poor with PSAsubOR regardless of intensification with docetaxel or an ARPI (absolute PFS and OS measures for each group are provided in the text). CONCLUSION Our study is the first to explore the negative impact of PSAsubOR in patients with mHSPC undergoing intensified ADT in the real-world setting, and is the first to provide absolute PFS and OS in patients with PSAsubOR receiving ADT intensification with ARPIs or docetaxel outside of clinical trial setting. These data will aid with prognostication, patient counseling, and for designing future clinical trials for patients with PSAsubOR.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the component patterns and risk stratification in patients with mixed malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (mMOGCT). METHODS A retrospective study of 70 mMOGCT patients treated in our hospital between 2000 and 2022 was conducted. The recurrence-free survival (RFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and risk stratification systems based on scoring the identified prognostic factors were assessed. RESULTS Yolk sac tumor component was the most common type (80%), followed by dysgerminoma (50%), immature teratoma (40%), embryonic carcinoma (27.1%), and chorionic carcinoma (15.7%). The 5-year RFS and DSS rates were 77.9% and 87.9%, respectively. International federation of gynecology and obstetrics (FIGO) stage III-IV (RR 3.253, P = 0.029) and normalization of tumor marker (TM) ≤ 3 cycles of chemotherapy (RR 6.249, P = 0.017) were risk factors for RFS and DSS, respectively. Significant DSS (RR 8.268, P = 0.006) was also noted between patients who had normalized TM ≤ 4 and ≥5 cycles of chemotherapy. FIGO stages I-II and stages III-IV were scored as 0 and 2, respectively. AFP normalization ≤3, 4, and ≥5 cycles of chemotherapy were scored as 0, 1, and 4, respectively. A total score of 0, 1-2, and ≥3 stratified patients into low-risk (43 patients), intermediate-risk (13 patients), and high-risk groups (14 patients), respectively. Patients in three risk stratifications manifested significant differences in DSS (P = 0.010) but not in RFS (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Distinct different component patterns existed among mMOGCT patients, and predicting survival outcomes in a universal model was challenging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite variable that can define the quality of pancreatic surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate TO after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs). PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients who underwent PD for NF-PanNETs (2007-2016) in different centers were included in this retrospective study. TO was defined as the absence of severe postoperative complications and mortality, length of hospital stay ≤ 19 days, R0 resection, and at least 12 lymph nodes harvested. RESULTS Overall, 477 patients were included. The TO rate was 32%. Tumor size [odds ratio (OR) 1.696; p = 0.013], a minimally invasive approach (OR 12.896; p = 0.001), and surgical volume (OR 2.062; p = 0.023) were independent predictors of TO. The annual frequency of PDs increased over time as well as the overall rate of TO. At a median follow-up of 44 months, patients who achieved TO had similar disease-free (p = 0.487) and overall survival (p = 0.433) rates compared with patients who did not achieve TO. TO rate in patients with NF-PanNET > 2 cm was 35% versus 27% in patients with NF-PanNET ≤ 2 cm (p = 0.044). Considering only NF-PanNETs > 2 cm, patients with TO and those without TO had comparable 5-year overall survival rates (p = 0.766) CONCLUSIONS: TO is achieved in one-third of patients after PD for NF-PanNETs and is not associated with a benefit in terms of long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas are oncologically low-risk tumors, their resection with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or partial pancreatectomy (PP) carries a significant risk for morbidity. To balance the favorable prognosis with the surgical morbidity of pancreas resection, this study explores the oncologic safety of enucleation (EN). PATIENTS AND METHODS The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for resected SPT from January 2004 through December 2020. Perioperative outcomes and survival were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis tests, and Kaplan-Meier analysis (with log-rank test). Survival analysis was performed to compare patients with and without lymph node (LN) metastases and binary logistic regression for predictors of LN metastasis. RESULTS A total of 922 patients met inclusion criteria; 18 patients (2%) underwent EN, 550 (59.6%) underwent PP, and 354 (38.4%) underwent PD. Mean tumor size was 57.6 mm. Length of hospital stay was significantly shorter for EN compared with PP and PD groups (3.8 versus 6.2 versus 9.4 days, p < 0.001). There was a nonsignificant improvement in unplanned readmission [0% versus 8% versus 10.7% (p = 0.163)], 30-day mortality [0% versus 0.5% versus 0% (p = 0.359)], and 90-day mortality [0% versus 0.5% versus 0% (p = 0.363)] between EN, PP, and PD groups. Survival analyses showed no difference in OS when comparing EN versus PP (p = 0.443), and EN versus PD (p = 0317). Patients with LN metastases (p < 0.001) fared worse, and lymphovascular invasion, higher T category (T3-4) and M1 status were found as predictors for LN metastasis. CONCLUSIONS EN may be considered for select patients leading to favorable outcomes. Because survival was worse in the rare cohort of patients with LN metastases, the predictors for LN metastasis identified here may aid in stratifying patients to EN versus resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in the hepatobiliary-pancreatic (HBP) surgical setting to validate RFS as a surrogate endpoint. BACKGROUND Reliable surrogate endpoints for OS are still limited in the field of HBP surgery. METHODS We analyzed patients who underwent curative resection for HBP disease [986 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 1168 with biliary tract cancer (BTC), 1043 with hepatocellular carcinoma, and 1071 with colorectal liver metastasis] from September 2002 to June 2022. We also conducted meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy to validate the surrogacy in PDAC and BTC. RESULTS Correlation coefficients between RFS and OS were low for hepatocellular carcinoma ( p = 0.67) and colorectal liver metastasis ( p = 0.53) but strong for PDAC ( p = 0.80) and BTC ( p = 0.75). In a landmark analysis, the concordance rates between survival or death at 5 years postoperatively and the presence or absence of recurrence at each time point (1, 2, 3, and 4 years) were 50%, 70%, 74%, and 77% for PDAC and 54%, 67%, 73%, and 78% for BTC, respectively, both increasing and reaching a plateau at 3 years. In a meta-analysis, the correlation coefficients for the RFS hazard ratio and OS hazard ratio in PDAC and BTC were p = 0.88 ( P < 0.001) and p = 0.87 ( P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Three-year RFS can be a reliable surrogate endpoint for OS in clinical trials of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for PDAC and BTC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the causes of the decrease in bladder cancer survival that has occurred over the past four decades. METHODS We extracted data from the South Australian Cancer Registry. Data from the period 1 January 1977 to 31 December 2020 were extracted to explore changes in incidence and survival among a total of 8356 patients diagnosed with ≥pT1 disease. Invasive bladder cancer was defined as ≥pT1 in this study. RESULTS Invasive bladder cancer age-standardized incidence decreased from 7.20 cases per 100 000 people in 1977 to 5.85 cases per 100 000 in 2020. The mean age at diagnosis increased from 68 years to 76 years. The crude incidence for patients aged 80 years and over increased by 3.3% per year (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1 to 4.6). Overall survival decreased over the study period (hazard ratio [HR] 1.22 [95% CI 1.09 to 1.35]), however, survival increased after adjusting for age at diagnosis (HR 0.80 [95% CI 0.76 to 0.94]). Despite a decrease in non-bladder cancer-specific deaths in older people, there was no change in the bladder cancer-specific death rate in older people (HR 0.94 [95% CI 0.70 to 1.26]). Male sex was associated with higher survival (HR 0.87 [95% CI 0.83 to 0.92]), whereas socioeconomic advantage was not. CONCLUSIONS Invasive bladder cancer survival has decreased over the past 40 years, with the age structure of the population being a significant contributing factor. PATIENT SUMMARY We looked at why bladder cancer survival is decreasing using a large cancer registry with information from 1977 to 2020. We found that people are now more likely to be diagnosed at an older age. Older people often live for a shorter time with bladder cancer compared to younger people. Bladder cancer survival has decreased because there are more older people with the disease than previously.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Before 2016, patients with isolated synchronous colorectal peritoneal metastases (PMCRC) diagnosed in expert centers had a higher odds of undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) and better overall survival (OS) than those diagnosed in referring centers. Nationwide efforts were initiated to increase awareness and improve referral networks. METHODS This nationwide study aimed to evaluate whether the between-center differences in odds of undergoing CRS-HIPEC and OS have reduced since these national efforts were initiated. All patients with isolated synchronous PMCRC diagnosed between 2009 and 2021 were identified from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Associations between hospital of diagnosis and the odds of undergoing CRS-HIPEC, as well as OS, were assessed using multilevel multivariable regression analyses for two periods (2009-2015 and 2016-2021). RESULTS In total, 3948 patients were included. The percentage of patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC increased from 17.2% in 2009-2015 (25.4% in expert centers, 16.5% in referring centers), to 23.4% in 2016-2021 (30.2% in expert centers, 22.6% in referring centers). In 2009-2015, compared with diagnosis in a referring center, diagnosis in a HIPEC center showed a higher odds of undergoing CRS-HIPEC (odds ratio [OR] 1.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-2.67) and better survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.80, 95% CI 0.66-0.96). In 2016-2021, there were no differences in the odds of undergoing CRS-HIPEC between patients diagnosed in HIPEC centers versus referring centers (OR 1.27, 95% CI 0.76-2.13) and survival (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.76-1.32). CONCLUSION Previously observed differences in odds of undergoing CRS-HIPEC were no longer present. Increased awareness and the harmonization of treatment for PMCRC may have contributed to equal access to care and a similar chance of survival at a national level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are the second most common type of pediatric cancer in Germany. We aimed to describe registration practice, incidence, and survival patterns for childhood CNS tumors in Germany for the past 40 years. PROCEDURE Including all CNS tumor cases in children diagnosed at ages 0-14 years registered at the German Childhood Cancer Registry (GCCR) in 1980-2019 (for survival analysis 1980-2016), we calculated age-specific and age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) over time, average annual percentage changes (AAPC), and 1- and 5-year overall survival. RESULTS While we observed a pronounced increase in ASIR after the establishment of the GCCR during the 1980s, ASIR for all pediatric CNS tumors combined continued to increase markedly from 28.6 per million in 1990-1999 to 43.3 in 2010-2019 (AAPC = 2.7% in 1991-2010, AAPC = 0.3% in 2010-2019). The 5-year overall survival from CNS tumors improved from 63% in the 1980s, 70% in the 1990s to 79% in 2010-2016. These improvements have occurred across all age groups. Children diagnosed with ependymomas and choroid plexus tumors experienced the strongest increase (from 54% to 81%). CONCLUSIONS Observed increases in incidence rates for pediatric CNS tumors are likely only partially caused by actual increasing case numbers. The majority is a function of improved registration and, to a minor extent, improvements in diagnostics. Survival from pediatric CNS tumors has, by and large, improved consistently, leading to a growing population of childhood cancer survivors with diverse health biographies and risk of lifelong adverse impact on health and wellbeing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Keratin 14 (KRT14) is hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) based on its tumorigenic role in various cancers and its relationship with the prognosis of other urinary system malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of KRT14 with tumor properties and prognosis in RCC patients. METHODS Data from 180 RCC patients who received tumor resection were retrospectively reviewed. The KRT14 was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining in tumor tissues and non-tumor tissues. RESULTS KRT14 was insufficiently expressed in both tumor and non-tumor tissues, with median (interquartile range) IHC score of 2.0 (0.0-3.4) and 1.0 (0.0-2.0), respectively. While it was relatively higher in tumor versus non-tumor tissues (P < 0.001). Besides, tumor KRT14 was positively correlated with the pathological grade (P = 0.038), tumor size (P = 0.012), T stage (P = 0.006), and TNM stage (P = 0.018). Interestingly, tumor KRT14 high predicted shorter accumulating recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P = 0.003) and accumulating overall survival (OS) (P = 0.001), which was further verified by the multivariate Cox's regression analysis (both P < 0.05). Furthermore, tumor KRT14 high estimated shorter RFS and OS from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis and Human Protein ATLAS databases (all P < 0.05). Subgroup analyses indicated that the correlation of tumor KRT14 with accumulating RFS and accumulating OS was more pronounced in RCC patients with better physical status (such as age < 65 years and better eastern cooperative oncology group performance status) and higher tumor stages (such as higher pathological grade). CONCLUSION High KRT14 in tumor tissue could reflect an advanced tumor features and unsatisfying survival in RCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Evaluation of Groin Lymphadenectomy Extent for Melanoma (EAGLE FM) study sought to address the question of whether to perform inguinal (IL) or ilio-inguinal lymphadenectomy (I-IL) for patients with inguinal nodal metastatic melanoma who have no clinical or imaging evidence of pelvic disease. Primary outcome measure was disease-free survival at 5 years, and secondary endpoints included lymphoedema. METHODS EAGLE FM was designed to recruit 634 patients but closed with 88 patients randomised because of slow recruitment and changes in melanoma management. Lymphoedema assessments occurred preoperatively and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively. Lymphoedema was defined as Inter-Limb Volume Difference (ILVD) > 10%, Lymphoedema Index (L-Dex®) > 10 or change of L-Dex® > 10 from baseline. RESULTS Prevalence of leg lymphoedema between the two groups was similar but numerically higher for I-IL at all time points in the first 24 months of follow-up; highest at 6 months (45.9% IL [CI 29.9-62.0%], 54.1% I-IL [CI 38.0-70.1%]) and lowest at 18 months (18.8% IL [CI 5.2-32.3%], 41.4% I-IL [CI 23.5-59.3%]). Median ILVD at 24 months for those affected by lymphoedema was 14.5% (IQR 10.6-18.7%) and L-Dex® was 12.6 (IQR 9.0-17.2). There was not enough statistical evidence to support associations between lymphoedema and extent of surgery, radiotherapy, or wound infection. CONCLUSIONS Despite a trend for patients who had I-IL to have greater lymphoedema prevalence than IL in the first 24 months after surgery, our study's small sample did not have the statistical evidence to support an overall difference between the surgical groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended radical resection is often the only chance of cure for locally recurrent rectal cancer. Recurrence in the posterior compartment often necessitates en bloc sacrectomy as part of pelvic exenteration to obtain clear resection margins and provide survival benefit. OBJECTIVE To compare oncological outcomes, morbidity, and quality-of-life outcomes following pelvic exenteration with and without en bloc sacrectomy for recurrent rectal cancer. DESIGN Comparative cohort study with retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING This study was conducted at a high-volume pelvic exenteration center. PATIENTS Patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer between 1994 and 2022. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Overall survival, postoperative morbidity, R0 resection margin, and quality-of-life outcomes. RESULTS Of 965 patients, 305 (31.6%) underwent pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer. Among these patients, 64.3% were men and the median age was 62 years (range, 29-86). One hundred eighty-five patients (60.7%) underwent en bloc sacrectomy, 65 (35.1%) underwent high transection, and 119 (64.3%) had sacrectomy below S2. R0 resection was achieved in 80% of patients with sacrectomy and 72.5% of patients without sacrectomy. Sacrectomy patients experienced more postoperative complications without increased mortality. The median overall survival was 52 months; median survival was 47 months with sacrectomy and 73 months without ( p = 0.059). Quality-of-life scores were not significantly different across physical component ( p = 0.346), mental component ( p = 0.787), or Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal ( p = 0.679) scores at 24-month follow-up. LIMITATIONS The generalizability of these findings may be limited outside of subspecialist exenteration units. Selection bias exists in a retrospective analysis. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing pelvic exenteration with and without en bloc sacrectomy for locally recurrent rectal cancer experience similar rates of R0 resection, survival, and quality-of-life outcomes. As R0 remains the most important predictor of survival, the requirement of sacral resection should prompt referral to a subspecialist center that performs sacrectomy routinely. See Video Abstract . RESULTADOS DESPUS DE LA EXENTERACIN PLVICA PARA EL CNCER DE RECTO CON RECURRENCIA LOCAL, CON Y SIN SACRECTOMA EN BLOQUE ANTECEDENTES:La resección radical ampliada es generalmente la única posibilidad de curación para el cáncer de recto con recurrencia local. La recurrencia en el compartimento posterior generalmente requiere sacrectomía en bloque como parte de la exenteración pélvica para obtener márgenes de resección claros y proporcionar un beneficio de supervivencia.OBJETIVO:Comparar los resultados oncológicos, de morbilidad y de calidad de vida después de la exenteración pélvica con y sin sacrectomía en bloque para el cáncer de recto recurrente.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte comparativo con análisis retrospectivo de datos recopilados prospectivamente.AMBIENTE AJUSTE:Estudio realizado en un centro de exenteración pélvica de alto volumen.PACIENTES:Aquellos sometidos a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto con recurrencia local entre 1994 y 2022.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Supervivencia general, morbilidad posoperatoria, margen de resección R0 y resultados de calidad de vida.RESULTADOS:305 (31,6%) de 965 pacientes se sometieron a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto con recurrencia local. El 64,3% de los pacientes eran hombres con una mediana de edad de 62 años (rango 29-86). 185 pacientes (60,7%) fueron sometidos a sacrectomía en bloque, 65 (35,1%) fueron sometidos a transección alta, 119 (64,3%) tuvieron sacrectomía por debajo de S2. La resección R0 se logró en el 80% de los pacientes con sacrectomía y en el 72,5% sin ella. Los pacientes de sacrectomía experimentaron más complicaciones postoperatorias sin aumento de la mortalidad. La mediana de supervivencia global fue de 52 meses, 47 meses con sacrectomía y 73 meses sin sacrectomía ( p = 0,059). Las puntuaciones de calidad de vida no fueron significativamente diferentes entre las puntuaciones del componente físico ( p = 0,346), componente mental ( p = 0,787) o la evaluación funcional de la terapia contra el cáncer - colorrectal ( p = 0,679) a los 24 meses de seguimiento.LIMITACIONES:La generalización de estos hallazgos puede estar limitada fuera de las unidades de exenteración de subespecialistas. Existe un sesgo de selección en un análisis retrospectivo.CONCLUSIONES:Los pacientes sometidos a exenteración pélvica con y sin sacrectomía en bloque por cáncer de recto con recurrencia local experimentan tasas similares de resección R0, supervivencia y resultados de calidad de vida. Como R0 sigue siendo el predictor más importante de supervivencia, la necesidad de resección sacra debe provocar la derivación a un centro subespecialista que realice sacrectomía de forma rutinaria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although social vulnerability has been associated with worse postoperative and oncologic outcomes in other cancer types, these effects have not been characterized in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. This study evaluated the association of social vulnerability and oncologic outcomes. METHODS The authors conducted a single-institution cohort study of adult patients with primary and locally recurrent extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcoma undergoing resection between January 2016 and December 2021. The social vulnerability index (SVI) was measured on a low (SVI 1-39%, least vulnerable) to high (60-100%, most vulnerable) SVI scale. The association of SVI with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS The study identified 577 patients. The median SVI was 44 (interquartile range [IQR], 19-67), with 195 patients categorized as high SVI and 265 patients as low SVI. The median age, tumor size, histologic subtype, grade, comorbidities, stage, follow-up time, and perioperative chemotherapy and radiation utilization were similar between the high and low SVI cohorts. The patients with high SVI had worse OS (p = 0.07) and RFS (p = 0.016) than the patients with low SVI. High SVI was independently associated with shorter RFS in the multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 1.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.54) but not with OS (HR, 1.47; 95% CI 0.84-2.56). CONCLUSION High community-level social vulnerability appears to be independently associated with worse RFS for patients undergoing resection of extremity and truncal soft tissue sarcoma. The effect of patient and community-level social risk factors should be considered in the treatment of patients with extremity sarcoma.
