Preoperative Predictors for 90-Day Mortality after Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Ampulla of Vater: A Single-Centre Retrospective Cohort Study
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
The standard treatment for ampullary adenocarcinoma is pancreaticoduodenectomy. Identification of preoperative risk factors might help the clinician to select patients fit for resection and potentially decrease morbidity and mortality after PD. We conducted a cohort study to determine the preoperative factors related to 90-day severe morbidity and mortality after PD. Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients with a diagnosis of ampullary adenocarcinoma who underwent an open PD between January 2010 and December 2019 at our tertiary centre. Results
Independent preoperative predictors of mortality were the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade 3 (OR: 21.7; CI 95: 2.1–226.9; p=0.01) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90?mL/min/1.73?m2 (OR: 17.7; CI 95: 1.8–172.6; p=0.013). The eGFR <90?mL/min/1.73?m2 (OR?=?6.6; CI 95: 1.9–23.4; p=0.003) and prothrombin time (OR?=?1.5; CI 95; 1.1–2.1; p=0.005) were independent predictors for severe morbidity. Conclusion
These findings suggest that baseline renal function measured by the eGFR and liver function categorized with the ALBI grading are predictors of severe morbidity and mortality. Thus, they should be considered when selecting patients for PD or the use of neoadjuvant treatments. Further research is warranted.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) reflects the nutritional and immunologic status of the patients. The clinical application of PNI is already well-known in various kinds of solid tumors. However, there is no study investigating the relationship between PNI and oncological outcome of the resected ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS:From January 2005 to December 2012, the medical records of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pathologically confirmed AoV cancer were retrospectively reviewed. Long-term oncological outcomes were compared according to the preoperative PNI value. RESULT:A total of 118 patients were enrolled in this study. The preoperative PNI was 46.13±6.63, while the mean disease-free survival was 43.88 months and the mean disease-specific survival was 55.3 months. In the multivariate Cox analysis, initial CA19-9 (p = 0.0399), lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.0031), AJCC 8th N-stage (p = 0.0018), and preoperative PNI (p = 0.0081) were identified as significant prognostic factors for resected AoV cancer. The disease-specific survival was better in the high preoperative PNI group (?48.85: 40.77 months vs. >48.85: 68.05 months, p = 0.0015). A highly accurate nomogram was developed based on four clinical components to predict the 1, 3, and 5-year disease-specific survival probability (C-index 0.8169, 0.8426, and 0.8233, respectively). CONCLUSION:In resected AoV cancer, preoperative PNI can play a significant role as an independent prognostic factor for predicting disease-specific survival.

Project description:PurposeThis study evaluated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in patients with resected ampulla of Vater (AoV) carcinoma.Materials and methodsData from 646 patients who underwent surgical resection at Asan Medical Center between 2000 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 62 years, and 54.2% were male. Patients were classified into AC group (n=165, 25.5%) and no AC group (n=481, 74.5%). With a median follow-up duration of 88 months, in patients with stage I, II, III, median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was not reached, 44 months, and 15 months, respectively, and the median overall survival (OS) were not reached, 88 months and 35 months, respectively. Despite no statistical significance, RFS and OS were better in stage II patients with AC than in those without AC (median RFS, 151 months vs. 38 months; p=0.156 and median OS, 153 months vs. 74 months; p=0.299). In multivariate analysis for RFS and OS, TNM stage, R1 resection status, presence of lymphovascular invasion, and perineural invasion remained significant factors, whereas AC (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 1.00; p=0.052) was marginally related with RFS. After propensity score matching in only stage II/III patients, RFS and OS with AC were numerically longer than those without AC (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.60 to 1.06; p=0.116 and HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.56 to 1.06; p=0.111).ConclusionAC with fluoropyrimidine did not improve survival of patients with resected AoV carcinoma. However, multivariate analysis with prognostic factors showed a marginally significant survival benefit with AC.

Project description:LESSONS LEARNED:Panitumumab has no clinical activity in metastatic RAS wild-type small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) and ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC), possibly due to the foregut and midgut derivation of small bowel and ampulla.These results, along with findings from genomic characterization of SBA, suggest that SBA represents a unique intestinal malignancy and treatments should not be habitually extrapolated from colorectal cancer.Further studies evaluating the benefit of targeted therapies exclusively in SBA and AAC are warranted. BACKGROUND:Given the benefit of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies in colorectal cancer (CRC), we sought to evaluate the efficacy of panitumumab in metastatic RAS wild-type small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) and ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC). METHODS:We conducted a single-center, open-label, single-arm, Bayesian phase II trial. The primary objective was response rate (RR). Panitumumab was administered at a dose of 6 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 14 days. RESULTS:Nine patients (male/female 7:2, median age: 61 years [range: 40-74], Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status 0/1: 2/7) were enrolled from September 2013 to October 2015. One patient had AAC (pancreaticobiliary subtype) and eight patients had SBA (three duodenal, five jejunal/ileal). Acneiform rash was the most common toxicity. The study was stopped early due to futility with no responses, stable disease (SD) in two patients, and progression of disease (PD) in seven patients. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 2.4 and 5.7 months, respectively. No patients had extended RAS mutations (exons 2/3/4), but two patients had BRAF G469A and one patient had PIK3CA H1074R mutations. CONCLUSION:Panitumumab had no clinically meaningful activity in patients with metastatic RAS wild-type SBA and AAC. Our findings may relate to the primarily midgut and foregut derivation of the small bowel and ampulla.

Project description:Tumors of the pancreas, the ampulla of Vater, and the extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts have significant histological similarities due to the common embryonic origin of the pancreatobiliary system. This obviates the need for discovery of biomarkers with diagnostic and prognostic value for these tumors. Mucins, especially MUC-1, -2, -4 and -5AC, are important candidates for developing into such reliable biomarkers. Increased expression of MUC1 occurs in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and is associated with increased degrees of dysplasia in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Positive expression of MUC2 in intraductal papillary mucinus neoplasms (IPMN) of the intestinal type indicates high potential progression to invasive carcinoma with de novo expression of MUC1, while absence of MUC2 expression in IPMNs of gastric type implies low potential to malignant evolution. De novo MUC4 expression correlates to the severity of dysplasia in PanIN and is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. In biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN), increased expression of MUC1 is associated with higher degrees of dysplasia. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICC) are characterized by increased expression of all glycoforms of MUC1. Positive MUC2 expression in intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts (IPNB) of the intestinal type indicates high malignant potential with de novo expression of MUC1 in the invasive element. Absent MUC2 expression in any degree of BilIN may prove useful in differentiating them from IPNB. De novo expression of MUC4 is associated with poor prognosis in patients with ICC or carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts (EHBDC). High de novo expression of MUC5AC is found in all degrees of BilIN and all types of IPNB and ICC. The MUC5AC is useful in the detection of neoplastic lesions of the bile duct at an early stage. Increased expression of mucin MUC1 in carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater associated with unfavorable behavior of the tumor, such as lymph node metastasis, infiltration of the pancreas and duodenum, advanced TNM classification and worse prognosis. Patients with intra-ampullary papillary-tubular neoplasm (IAPN) of the pancreatobiliary immunophenotype did not show MUC2, while those of the intestinal immunophenotype are MUC2 positive. The expression of MUC4 is associated with poor prognosis in patients with carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater favoring metastasis and making them resistant to apoptosis. Moreover, it appears that MUC4 positivity correlates with recurrence of the tumor. Expression of MUC5AC is associated with the invasive potential of the tumor.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Periampullary adenocarcinoma is a major clinical problem in high-risk patients including FAP population. A recent modification for visualizing the ampulla of Vater (AV) involves attaching a cap to the tip of the forward-viewing endoscope. Our aim was to compare the rates of complete visualization of AV using this cap-assisted endoscopy (CAE) approach to standard forward-viewing endoscopy (FVE). We also determined: (i) the rates of complications and additional sedation; (ii) the mean time required for duodenal examination; and (iii) the reproducibility among endoscopists performing this procedure. METHODS:We performed esophagogastroduodenoscopy for AV visualization in 102?>?18?years old using FVE followed by CAE. Video recordings were blinded and randomly selected for independent expert endoscopic evaluation. RESULTS:The complete visualization rate for AV was higher in CAE (97.0%) compared to FVE (51.0%) (p?<? 0.001). The additional doses of fentanyl, midazolam, and propofol required for CAE were 0.05, 1.9 and 36.3?mg. in 0.9, 24.5, and 77.5% patients, respectively. The mean time of duodenal examination for AV visualization was lower on CAE compared to FVE (1.41 vs. 1.95?min, p?<? 0.001). Scopolamine was used in 34 FVE and 24 CAE, with no association to AV complete visualization rates (p?=?0.30 and p?=?0.14). Three more ampullary adenomas were detected using CAE compared to FVE. Cap displacement occurred in one patient, and there was no observed adverse effect of the additional sedatives used. Kappa values for agreement between endoscopists ranged from 0.60 to 0.85. CONCLUSIONS:CAE is feasible, reproducible and safe, with a higher success rate for complete visualization compared to FVE. TRIAL REGISTRATION:ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT02867826 , 16 August 2016.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The prognosis for carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater (CAV) is better than for pancreatic cancer. The 5-year survival median rate after resection of CAV is 45%, but late recurrences remain possible. Several survival factors have been identified (lymph nodes, perineural invasion), but few data are available on the type of recurrences, their impact and their management. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 41 patients treated by pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for CAV from 1980 to 2003 were studied retrospectively. Patient selection, long-term survival recurrence rate and recurrence treatment were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate proportional hazards analysis were conducted on this series. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 48 months. Five-year survival was 62.8%. Eleven patients had recurrences (6-67 months). Recurrence was associated with time to all-causes death (hazard ratio [HR] 4.3, p=0.003). Factors predictive of recurrence were perineural invasion (HR 5.3, p=0.02), lymph node invasion (HR 5.3, p=0.02) and differentiation (HR 0.2, p=0.05). Three patients underwent surgical R0 treatment of their recurrences. Two who presented with solitary liver metastasis are alive and disease-free. CONCLUSIONS: Recurrence represents a serious threat in the prognosis of CAV after surgery. Some of these recurrences, in particular liver metastases, are accessible for a curative treatment. This finding supports the usefulness of a close and long-term follow-up after surgery to improve survival of patients with CAV, especially in the group of patients with a good prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundIn January 2020, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to be performed in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). This study aims to develop a predictive model for targeting appropriate patients for ASC-based TKA.MethodsA retrospective review of 2266 patients (205 same-day discharge [SDD; 9.0%] and 2061 one-day length of stay [91.0%]) undergoing TKA at a regional medical center between July 2016 and September 2020 was conducted. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of SDD, as these patients represent those most likely to safely undergo TKA in an ASC.ResultsControlling for other demographics and comorbidities, patients with the following characteristics were at reduced odds of SDD: increased age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.935, P < .001), body mass index ≥35 (OR = 0.491, P = .002), female (OR = 0.535, P < .001), nonwhite race (OR = 0.456, P = .003), primary hypertension (OR = 0.710, P = .032), ≥3 comorbidities (OR = 0.507, P = .002), American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3 (OR = 0.378, P < .001). The model was deemed to be of adequate fit using the Hosmer and Lemeshow test (χ2 = 12.437, P = .112), and the area under the curve was found to be 0.773 indicating acceptable discrimination.ConclusionFor patients undergoing primary TKA, increased age, body mass index ≥35, female gender, nonwhite race, primary hypertension, ≥3 comorbidities, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3 decrease the likelihood of SDD. A predictive model based on readily available patient presentation and comorbidity characteristics may aid surgeons in identifying patients that are candidates for SDD or ASC-based TKA.

Project description:BackgroundRecent advances in the treatment of cancer have focused on targeting genomic aberrations with selective therapeutic agents. In rare tumors, where large-scale clinical trials are daunting, this targeted genomic approach offers a new perspective and hope for improved treatments. Cancers of the ampulla of Vater are rare tumors that comprise only about 0.2% of gastrointestinal cancers. Consequently, they are often treated as either distal common bile duct or pancreatic cancers.MethodsWe analyzed DNA from a resected cancer of the ampulla of Vater and whole blood DNA from a 63 year-old man who underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy by whole genome sequencing, achieving 37× and 40× coverage, respectively. We determined somatic mutations and structural alterations.ResultsWe identified relevant aberrations, including deleterious mutations of KRAS and SMAD4 as well as a homozygous focal deletion of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene. These findings suggest that these tumors have a distinct oncogenesis from either common bile duct cancer or pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, this combination of genomic aberrations suggests a therapeutic context for dual mTOR/PI3K inhibition.ConclusionsWhole genome sequencing can elucidate an oncogenic context and expose potential therapeutic vulnerabilities in rare cancers.

Project description:This study used multicenter data to compare the oncological safety of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) with that of pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD) in early ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer. Data for patients who underwent surgical resection for AoV cancer (pTis-T2 stage) from January 2000 to September 2019 were collected from 15 institutions. The clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes were compared between the PPPD and TDA groups. A total of 486 patients were enrolled (PPPD, 418; TDA, 68). The oncologic behavior in the PPPD group was more aggressive than that in the TDA group at all T stages: larger tumor size (p = 0.034), advanced T stage (p < 0.001), aggressive cell differentiation (p < 0.001), and more lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.002). Five-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) did not differ between the two groups when considering all T stages or only the Tis+T1 group. Among T1 patients, PPPD produced significantly better DFS (PPPD vs. TDA, 84.8% vs. 66.6%, p = 0.040) and superior OS (PPPD vs. TDA, 89.1% vs. 68.0%, p = 0.056) than TDA. Lymph node dissection (LND) in the TDA group did not affect DFS or OS (TDA + LND vs. TDA-only, DFS, p = 0.784; OS, p = 0.870). In conclusion, PPPD should be the standard procedure for early AoV cancer.
