Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 50(8) 929-932, Aug, 2023 Peer-reviewedWe report a case of a woman in her 70s who underwent conversion surgery after FOLFIRINOX, followed by radiation therapy for initially locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer. She visited her local doctor with a chief complaint of upper abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen revealed an irregular mass invading the superior mesenteric artery, and the first and second jejunal arteries(>180°)in the pancreatic uncinate region. Based on imaging, she was diagnosed as UR-LA(sm), cT4N0M0, cStage Ⅲ pancreatic cancer, and underwent 5 courses of modified FOLFIRINOX. Radiation therapy of 50.4 Gy was added for local control, and CA19-9 decreased from 394.1 U/mL to 10.5 U/mL. The treatment effect was judged as RECIST: partial response. The tumor was considered to be potentially curative, and a subtotal stomach preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed 8 months after the initial treatment. The tumor was found to be 3× 2 mm in size, pStage ⅠA, R0, and the response to preoperative chemotherapy: Evans Grade Ⅲ. The patient is alive at 5 months postoperatively without recurrence.

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 50(8) 933-936, Aug, 2023 Peer-reviewedWe report a case of a patient with sigmoid colon cancer and multiple liver metastases who underwent hepatectomy after chemotherapy and pathological results showed complete remission. However, after chemotherapy was discontinued, the patient developed a local recurrence of the liver metastasis and underwent rehepatectomy. The patient came to our hospital with lower abdominal pain. Colonoscopy revealed a circumferential type Ⅱ, well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. Postoperative CT scan showed multiple liver metastases at S5, S7, and S8. 11 cycles of bevacizumab plus modified FOLFOX(mFOLFOX)were subsequently performed. The liver metastases shrank at all sites, and the patient underwent right hepatectomy. The resected specimen was considered to be in complete remission, with no evidence of viable malignant cells. Postoperatively, bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX was resumed for 6 cycles and the patient remained in remission. However, 3 months after stopping chemotherapy and 1 year and 6 months after hepatectomy, a follow-up CT scan showed local recurrence of the liver edge, and a diagnosis of local recurrence of liver metastasis was made, and a partial hepatectomy was performed. The patient is recurrence-free and resuming modified FOLFOX 9 months after surgery.

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 49(13) 1423-1425, Dec, 2022 Peer-reviewedLead authorThe outcomes of 88 patients with lower rectal T2 cancer who underwent radical A surgery(T2)were compared with those of 340 patients with T3 or T4a cancer(T3/T4a)and 51 patients with T1 cancer(T1). The rates of all lymph node(LN) metastasis, paraintestinal LN metastasis, intermediate and main LN metastasis, and lateral LN metastasis in T2 were all significantly lower than in T3/T4a and not different from those in T1. The recurrence rate of T2 was 15.9%, significantly lower than that of T3/T4a and not different from that of T1. Fifty percent of T2 recurrences were observed after 30 months postoperatively, significantly higher than that of T3/T4a and not different from that of T1. The 5-year survival rate of T2 was significantly higher than that of T3/T4a and did not differ from that of T1. In lower rectal T2, cancer LN dissection similar to that in T1 is appropriate, and high preoperative serum CA19-9 level is a risk factor for recurrence, suggesting the need for follow-up after 30 months postoperatively to take recurrence into consideration.

World journal of surgical oncology, 20(1) 278-278, Sep 3, 2022 Peer-reviewedIn this report, we describe a case of highly advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombosis extending into the main portal vein of the pancreas that was successfully treated with adjuvant lenvatinib after right hepatic resection with thrombectomy. A 70-year-old woman was referred from the clinic because of elevated hepatobiliary enzymes. The patient was positive for the hepatitis B virus antigen at our hospital. The tumor markers were highly elevated with alpha-fetoprotein (14.5 U/mL) and protein induced by vitamin K absence (PIVKAII) (1545 ng/mL), suggesting hepatocellular carcinoma. Dynamic abdominal computed tomography showed an early enhanced tumor approximately 6 cm in size and portal vein tumor thrombosis filling the main portal vein, but not extending into the splenic or superior mesenteric vein (SMV). On magnetic resonance imaging 1 week after CT, portal vein tumor thrombosis had extended to the confluence of the splenic vein with the SMV, indicating rapid tumor growth. Thus, we performed emergent right hepatectomy with tumor thrombectomy. Postoperatively, we treated the patient with lenvatinib for a tumor reduction surgery. Fortunately, the patient was alive 2 years postoperatively without recurrence. This case report suggests that a favorable outcome may be achieved with multidisciplinary treatment including resection and postoperative treatment with lenvatinib.

Fujita medical journal, 8(3) 67-72, Aug, 2022 Peer-reviewedOBJECTIVES: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a problematic complication after stoma closure. The purse string suture (PSS) technique eliminates this problem, but the area takes longer to heal. The present retrospective study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of a vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) system for the promotion of wound healing after stoma closure. METHODS: Consecutive patients undergoing stoma closure with the PSS technique were divided into two groups: those treated with and without use of the VAC system. The volume of dead space and the size of the wound were measured after stoma closure in both groups. The same measurements were performed on days 3 and 7 after closure. The time needed for wound closure was also examined in both groups. Outcomes were also evaluated according to age, body mass index, operative time, bleeding volume, wound consistency, patient satisfaction, perioperative inflammatory response, occurrence of SSI, and hospitalization days. RESULTS: The VAC group comprised 31 patients, and the non-VAC group comprised 34 patients. The volume of dead space on days 3 and 7 after closure was significantly smaller in the VAC group than in the non-VAC group (P=0.006 and P<0.001, respectively). The number of SSIs was significantly lower in the VAC group than in the non-VAC group (P=0.014). CONCLUSION: The dead space volume on days 3 and 7 after stoma closure with PSS significantly decreased by using the VAC system. The incidence of SSI after stoma closure also significantly decreased by using the VAC system.

The Japanese journal of proctology, 66(10) 962-990, 2013 Peer-reviewedWhen performing anterior resection for rectal cancer, a robotic technique that provides three-dimensional visualization and technical dexterity has been applied to overcome some limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery. As of the end of March 2013, 56 patients have undergone robotic colorectal surgery at Fujita Health University. We herein introduce our fully-robotic technique with single cart position and report short-term outcomes concerning 43 cases of rectal cancer. The current status and problems regarding robotic surgery for colorectal cancer in the literature are also described. Although robotic surgery for colorectal cancer has been safe and feasible, the long operative time should be shortened by utilizing the learning-curve effect.

Progress in Acute Abdominal Medicine, 33(1) 31-38, 2013 Peer-reviewedLead authorWe studied the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer with perforation in comparison with non-perforation cases, and treatment strategy for colorectal cancer with perforation. T4 cancers and cancers with massive venous invasion fell significantly into the perforation than the non-perforation group. Stage IV caner was seen more in cases with perforation than in non-perforation cases (p=0.08). The perforation occurred at the tumor site in 7 patients, at the oral site of cancer in 7, and at the anal site in 1. One-staged curative resection was performed in 5 patients, and two-staged curative resection was performed in 4. The operative time was longer, and blood loss during curative resection was more in the two-staged than in the one-staged resections. Recurrence occurred in 1 patient with stage II cancer, and in 3 patients with stage IIIa cancer. These four patients with recurrence after curative surgery had peritoneal or subcutaneous dissemination, accompanying cancer spread due to large bowel perforation. However, hematogenous or lymphatic recurrence was also seen in 4 patients including one patient who underwent a curability B resection. More lymph node dissections were seen in non-recurrence cases after curative resection (average: 19.8) than in recurrence cases (average: 6.3). It was believed that primary resection and proper lymph node dissection contributed to prevention of hematogenous or lymphatic recurrence and improvement of prognosis for the patients with large bowel perforation related to colorectal cancer.
