Low rectal cancer provides a particular surgical challenge of local tumour control and sphincter preservation. Histopathological studies have shown that an involved circumferential resection margin (CRM) and depth of extramural invasion are independent markers of poor prognosis and correlate with high local recurrence rates due to residual microscopic disease [ 1 ]. Recent data suggests that a CRM at risk of tumour involvement can be reliably seen on the pre‐operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan with good correlation with the histological specimen [ 2 - 5 ]. In published series, low rectal cancers have a higher incidence of involved resection margins, with rates up to 30% for abdomino‐perineal excision (APE) vs 10% for low anterior resection (LAR) [ 6 - 9 ]. This has been attributed to narrow surgical planes deep within the pelvis as the mesorectum becomes narrowed and tapered, forming a bare muscle tube at the level of the anal sphincter complex. The challenge for the surgeon is to undertake careful removal of a cylinder of tissue beyond the rectal wall without perforating the tumour. An overall local recurrence rate of 10% after APE for all stages of rectal cancer has been reported and this low rate was attributed to the surgical technique that included a wide peri‐anal dissection and lateral division of the levator ani. The abdominal dissection was stopped above the tumour, taking care to avoid separation of the tumour from the levator ani to reduce the risk of inadvertent tumour cell spillage [ 8 ]. Therefore, rates of involved surgical margins from APE specimens may be reduced when a cuff of levators is taken compared with standard resection. In this review, we will discuss how MRI of the low rectum can aid in the staging and optimization of the best treatment strategy for low rectal cancer. 相似文献

Background Abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer is related to the high frequency of local recurrences, risk of inadvertent bowel
perforation, and disease-positive tumor margin. An alternative technique to this procedure, however, is the abdominosacral
amputation of the rectum (ASAR). The aim of this study was to report on the technique and share our experience of ASAR on
the cohort of consecutively operated patients.
Methods In its anterior stage, ASAR follows the rules of total mesorectal excision. In its posterior part, the patient is positioned
in a prone jackknife position and the coccyx and the last sacral vertebra (if necessary) are removed, enabling a sharp and
directly visualized resection of the tumor and other structures critical to local recurrence. Between 1998 and 2007, a total
of 210 low-rectal cancer patients were so treated at our clinic.
Results Bowel perforation occurred in 9 patients, the circumferential resection margin was positive in 16 patients, and 38 patients
had local wound complications. Seven (4.4%) of 158 patients with 2-year follow-up developed local recurrence, whereas 5-year
observed and relative survivals were 68.3% and 73.2%, respectively.
Conclusions ASAR has a low risk of bowel perforation, circumferential resection margin involvement, and local wound complications. The
local recurrence rate is lower and survival better than with conventional abdominoperineal resection. 相似文献

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the impact of the circumferential resection margin on the outcomes of patients with rectal cancer undergoing total mesorectal excision. MethodsMedical records from July 2004 to June 2008 were prospectively reviewed, and 348 patients who underwent potentially curative surgery for rectal cancer were identified. The influence of the circumferential resection margin on local recurrence, distant metastasis, and 5-year cancer-specific survival was assessed. ResultsOf 348 patients, 13 (3.7%) had positive circumferential resection margins. During a median follow-up period of 58.0 months, 8 patients (2.3%) had local recurrence and 53 (15.2%) developed distant metastases. Local recurrence rates and distant metastasis rates in patients with positive circumferential resection margins were 15.4% and 61.5%, respectively, significantly higher than in those with negative circumferential resection margins (1.8% and 13.4%, respectively) ( P < .001). The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates were 75.8% and 0% for patients with tumors having negative and positive circumferential resection margins, respectively ( P < .001). ConclusionsA circumferential resection margin of ≤1 mm adversely affects cancer-specific survival, local recurrence, and distant metastasis. 相似文献

BackgroundLocoregional recurrence occurs in a significant number of patients with breast cancer. This can result in substantial morbidity and mortality. Chest wall resection is well-documented for palliation and local control in chest wall relapse; an extension of this surgery is parasternal or sternal resection. MethodsA retrospective review of medical records of eighteen women who underwent sternal or parasternal resection with curative intent between 1998 and 2007 was undertaken. Results12 patients had total sternal resection, five patients had sub-total sternal resection and one patient had resection of tumour and ribs. 17 patients required the insertion of a composite Marlex ® methyl-methacrylate chest wall prosthesis, followed by soft tissue reconstruction with a pectoralis major or latissimus dorsi flap, in the majority of cases. In-hospital and 30-day mortality was 0%. One and two-year overall survival was 87% and 80% respectively. The median recurrence-free survival was 18 months (95% CI 4–31 months). There was local and distant recurrence in one patient (5%), local recurrence in two patients (11%) and distant recurrence in eight patients (44%), with 15 out of 18 patients (77%) remaining free from local recurrence at 5 years. ConclusionsEn bloc sternal resection for parasternal recurrence in breast cancer involves extensive surgery but in our experience can be performed with very low mortality and morbidity. In selected patients it provides good long term local control, relief of pain and improved cosmesis. 相似文献

BackgroundScarce data are available comparing outcomes of hepatic resection vs orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for localized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients both meeting and exceeding the Milan criteria. This study compared the clinical and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing hepatic resection vs transplantation localized HCC. MethodBetween January 2005 and February 2017, clinical and oncological outcomes of patients who underwent liver resection (n = 38) vs OLT (n = 28) for localized HCC were compared using a prospectively maintained database. ResultsA total of 66 patients (with a median age of 62) who met the study criteria were analyzed. Comparable postoperative complications (13.2% vs 28.6%, P = .45) and perioperative mortality rates (7.9% vs 10.7%, P = .2) were noted for the resection vs OLT groups. While Child-Pugh Class A patients were more prevalent in the resection group (78.9% vs 7.1%, P = .0001), the rate of patients who met the Milan criteria was higher in the OLT group (89.3% vs 34.25, P = .0001). Recurrence rates were 36.8% in the resection group and 3.6% in the OLT group at the end of the median follow-up period (32 vs 39 months, respectively). The HCC-related mortality rate was significantly higher in the resection group (39.5% vs 10.7%, P = .034).However, a subgroup analysis of patients who met the Milan criteria revealed similar rates of recurrence and HCC-related mortality (15.4% vs 8%, P = .63). Based on logistic regression analysis, number of tumors ( P = .034, odds ratio: 2.1) and “resection”-type surgery ( P = .008, odds ratio: 20.2) were independently associated with recurrence. ConclusionCompared to liver transplantation, hepatic resection for localized hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with a higher rate of recurrence and disease-related mortality. 相似文献

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous sarcoma of low to intermediate grade. Correct diagnosis is very
often difficult to make on initial presentation. It is a locally destructive tumour which seldom metastasizes. Excision with
an adequate margin is the recommended treatment. However, local recurrence is not uncommon with ranges from 4% to 21% in the
literature. Medical records of all patients suffering from DFSP who received operation in our centre were reviewed. The age,
gender, location of tumour and method of wound closure were described. Factors that may contribute to tumour recurrence were
analysed. Between January 1997 and December 2007, 32 patients (20 men) with DFSP, age ranging between 15 and 78 years, were
treated. The lesions (22, 69%) located on the trunk and the lesions (five, 15.5%) located on the extremities were resected
with a 3-cm margin, while those located in the head and neck region (5, 15.5%) were excised with a 1.5-cm margin. Intra-operative
frozen section was performed in all cases. Final histological examination showed 30 cases of classic DFSP and two cases of
DFSP with fibrosarcomatous transformation (FS-DFSP). The positive margin rate was 3.2%. In all cases, tumour resection and
reconstruction were performed in a single-stage operation. Adjuvant therapy was given to two cases of FS-DFSP and one case
of involved resection margin. With a mean follow-up of 51 months, there was no local recurrence in the classic DFSP group,
while the two patients with FS-DFSP developed local recurrence at post-operative 4 and 10 months, respectively. We echo the
literature that wide local excision with clear margins is the recommended treatment for the classic DFSP. The achievement
of low positive margin rate is crucial for a single-stage operation and to minimise the use of adjuvant therapy. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: This is a review of elective rectal cancer surgery during 1993-1999 at a single district general hospital to investigate the variables that affected the care of these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study of patients presenting with rectal adenocarcinoma to a district general hospital where total mesorectal excision was practiced over a 7-year period was performed to identify factors associated with complications, death and disease recurrence. RESULTS: Sixty-one patients developed a total of 89 complications and 30-day mortality was 8.3%. Overall, 81% of all resections and 86% of potentially curative resections were free of tumour at the circumferential resection margin. A positive circumferential resection margin and 30-day mortality were both associated with increased postoperative blood transfusion volume. Twenty-nine recurrences were detected during the follow-up period (mean, 21.7 months) and circumferential margin involvement by tumour, Dukes'' stage, pre-operative functional status (ASA grade) and length of hospital stay correlated with disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical outcomes in lower volume hospitals are comparable with those reported by larger centres. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare the outcomes of patients with multifocal hepatoblastoma (HB) treated at our institution with either orthotopic liver transplant (OLTx) or hepatic resection to determine outcomes and risk factors for recurrence. BackgroundMultifocality in HB has been shown to be a significant prognostic factor for recurrence and worse outcome. The surgical management of this type of disease is complex and primarily involves OLTx to avoid leaving behind microscopic foci of disease in the remnant liver. MethodsWe performed a retrospective chart review on all patients <18 years of age with multifocal HB treated at our institution between 2000 and 2021. Patient demographics, operative procedure, post-operative course, pathological data, laboratory values, short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed. ResultsA total of 41 patients were identified as having complete radiologic and pathologic inclusion criteria. Twenty-three (56.1%) underwent OLTx and 18 (43.9%) underwent partial hepatectomy. Median length of follow-up across all patients was 3.1 years (IQR 1.1–6.6 years). Cohorts were similar in rates of PRETEXT designation status identified on standardized imaging re-review (p = .22). Three-year overall survival (OS) estimate was 76.8% (95% CI: 60.0%–87.3%). There was no difference in rates of recurrence or overall survival in patients who underwent either resection or OLTx (p = .54 and p = .92 respectively). Older patients (>72 months), patients with a positive porta hepatis margin, and patients with associated tumor thrombus experienced worse recurrence rates and survival. Histopathology demonstrating pleomorphic features independently associated with worse rates of recurrence. ConclusionsThrough proper patient selection, multifocal HB was adequately treated with either partial hepatectomy or OLTx with comparable outcome results. HB with pleomorphic features, increased patient age at diagnosis, involved porta hepatis margin on pathology, and the presence of associated tumor thrombus may be associated with worse outcomes regardless of the local control surgery offered.

Aim This study evaluated the prognostic importance of circumferential tumour position of mid and low rectal cancers. Method All uT2, uT3 and uT4 tumours of the middle and lower rectum that underwent total mesorectal excision (TME) with curative intent between 1996 and 2006 were included. The predominant circumferential tumour position (anterior, posterior or circumferential) was defined on preoperative endorectal ultrasound examination (ERUS). The relationships between tumour position and other characteristics and recurrence were explored. Results Two hundred and five patients with distal rectal cancer were operated on for a uT2‐T4 tumour. Median follow up was 49 months. The location of the tumour was predominantly anterior, posterior or circumferential in 128, 49 and 27 patients, respectively. Anterior tumours were more likely to receive neoadjuvant therapy ( P = 0.016) and perioperative blood transfusion ( P = 0.012). No significant differences were observed between circumferential position and pT or pN stage, circumferential resection margin involvement or mesorectal excision quality. Sixty‐three (30.7%) patients developed recurrence, which was local only in 16 (7.8%). Although tumours involving 360° of the rectal wall had a higher risk of local recurrence ( P = 0.048), those with a predominant anterior or posterior position were not related to a higher risk of local or overall recurrence. Conclusion Anterior rectal tumours do not differ in pathological characteristics from posterior tumours, and their prognosis is no worse when circumferential resection is complete. 相似文献

Aim of the studyThe current study aims to assess margin status in relation to amount of healthy breast tissue resected in breast-conserving surgery (BCS) on a nationwide scale. MethodsUsing PALGA (a nationwide network and registry of histology and cytopathology in the Netherlands), all patients who underwent BCS for primary invasive carcinoma in 2012–13 were selected (10,058 excerpts). 9276 pathology excerpts were analyzed for a range of criteria including oncological margin status and distance to closest margin, specimen weight/volume, greatest tumor diameter, and with or without localization method. Calculated resection ratios (CRR) were assessed to determine excess healthy breast tissue resection. ResultsMargins for invasive carcinoma and in situ carcinoma combined were tumor-involved in 498 (5.4%) and focally involved in 1021 cases (11.0%) of cases. Unsatisfactory resections including (focally) involved margins and margins ≤ 1 mm were reported in 33.8% of patients. The median lumpectomy volume was 46 cc (range 1–807 cc; SD 49.18) and median CRR 2.32 (range 0.10–104.17; SD 3.23), indicating the excision of 2.3 the optimal resection volume. ConclusionThe unacceptable rate of tumor-involved margins as well as margins ≤ 1 mm in one third of all patients is also achieved at the expense of healthy breast tissue resection, which may carry the drawback of high rates of cosmetic failure. These data clearly suggest the need for improvement in current breast conserving surgical procedures to decrease tumor-involved margin rates while reducing the amount of healthy breast tissue resected. 相似文献

BackgroundThe aim of our study was to assess various predictors for local recurrence (LR) in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery (BCS) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Materials and methodsAn audit was performed of 582 consecutive patients with DCIS between Jan 1975 to June 2008. In patients undergoing BCS, local guidelines reported a margin of ≥10 mm during the above period. Guideline with regard to margin of excision changes soon after this period.We retrospectively analysed clinical and pathological risk factors for local recurrence in patients undergoing BCS. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 19, and a cox regression model for multivariate analysis of local recurrence was used. ResultsOverall 239 women had BCS for DCIS during the above period. The actuarial 5-year recurrence rate was 9.6%. The overall LR rate was 17% (40/239. LR was more common in patients ≤50 years: (10/31 patients, 32%) compared to patients > 50 years (30/208, 14%, P = 0.02). Forty three per cent of patients (6/14) with <5 mm margin developed LR which was significantly higher compared to patients with 5–9 mm margin (12%, 3/25) and with ≥10 mm margin (14%, 27/188, P = 0.01). On multivariate analysis age ≤50 years, <5 mm pathological margin were independent prognostic factors for local recurrence. ConclusionOur study shows that younger age (≤50 years) and a margin < 5 mm are poor prognostic factors for LR in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery for DCIS. 相似文献

BackgroundResection margin status has traditionally been associated with tumor recurrence and oncological outcome following liver resection for colorectal liver metastases. Previous studies, however, did not address the impact of resection margin on the site of tumor recurrence and did not differentiate between true local recurrence at the resection margin and recurrence elsewhere in the liver. This study aimed to determine whether positive resection margins determine local recurrence and whether recurrence at the surgical margin influences long-term survival. MethodsClinicopathological data and oncological outcomes of patients who underwent curative resection for colorectal liver metastases between 2012 and 2017 at 2 major hepatobiliary centers (Bern, Switzerland, and Berlin, Germany) were assessed. Cross-sectional imaging following hepatectomy was reviewed by radiologists in both centers to distinguish between recurrence at the resection margin, defined as hepatic local recurrence, and intrahepatic recurrence elsewhere. The association between surgical margin status and location of tumor recurrence was evaluated, and the impact on overall survival was determined. ResultsDuring the study period, 345 consecutive patients underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. Histologic surgical margins were positive for tumor cells (R1) in 63 patients (18%). After a median follow-up time of 34 months, tumor recurrence was identified in 154 patients (45%). Hepatic local recurrence was not detected more frequently after R1 than after R0 resection ( P = .555). Hepatic local recurrence was not associated with worse overall survival ( P = .436), while R1 status significantly impaired overall survival ( P = .025). Additionally, overall survival was equivalent between patients with hepatic local recurrence and patients with any intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic recurrence. In patients with intrahepatic recurrence only, oncological outcomes improved if local hepatic therapy was possible (resection or ablation) in comparison to patients treated only with chemotherapy or best supportive care (3-year overall survival: 85% vs 39%; P < .0001). ConclusionThe incidence of hepatic local recurrence after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases is independent of R1 resection margin status. Additionally, hepatic local recurrence at the resection margin is not associated with worse overall survival compared with any other intra- or extrahepatic recurrence. Therefore, R1 status at hepatectomy seems to be a surrogate factor for advanced disease without influencing location of recurrence and thereby oncological outcome. This finding may support decision-making when extending the indication for surgery in borderline resectable colorectal liver metastases. 相似文献

AimThere is debate as to what constitutes an adequate excision margin to reduce the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) after breast cancer surgery. We have investigated the relationship between surgical margin distance and LRR in women with invasive breast cancer (IBC). MethodsTumour free margin distances were extracted from histopathology reports for women with IBC, treated by either breast conserving surgery or mastectomy, enrolled in the Breast Cancer Treatment Group Quality Assurance Project from July 1997 to June 2007. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were conducted to compare the risk of LRR for involved margins compared with negative margins, measured in increments rounded to the nearest mm. Results88 of 2300 patients (3.8%) experienced an LRR after a mean follow-up of 7.9 years. An involved margin, or a margin of 1 mm was associated with an increased risk of LRR (HR 2.72, 95% CI 1.30–5.69), whilst margin distances of 2 mm or greater were not. Risk of LRR with margin distances <2 mm was particularly high amongst those not receiving radiotherapy (RT). ConclusionBased on our findings, we recommend that a tumour free margin distance of 2 mm be adopted as an adequate margin of excision for IBC, in the setting of patients receiving standard adjuvant RT and adjuvant drug therapies as dictated by the current clinical treatment paradigms. 相似文献

BackgroundPost-hepatectomy liver failure is a severe complication after major liver resection and is associated with a high mortality rate. Nevertheless, there is no effective treatment for severe liver failure. In such a setting, rescue liver transplantation (LT) is used only in extraordinary cases with unclear results. This systematic review aims to define indication of LT in post-hepatectomy liver failure and post-LT outcomes, in terms of patient and disease-free survivals, to assess the procedure's feasibility and effectiveness. MethodsA systematic review of all English language full-text articles published until September 2022 was conducted. Inclusion criteria were articles describing patients undergoing LT for post-hepatectomy liver failure after liver resection, which specified at least one outcome of interest regarding patient/graft survival, postoperative complications, tumour recurrence and cause of death. A pseudo-individual participant data meta-analysis was performed to analyse data. Study quality was assessed with MINORS system. PROSPERO CRD42022349358. ResultsPostoperative complication rate was 53.6%. All patients transplanted for benign indications survived. For malignant tumours, 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 94.7%, 82.1% and 74.6%, respectively. The causes of death were tumour recurrence in 83.3% of cases and infection-related in 16.7% of LT recipients. At Cox regression, being transplanted for unconventional malignant indications (colorectal liver metastasis, cholangiocarcinoma) was a risk factor for death HR = 8.93 (95%CI = 1.04–76.63; P-value = 0.046). Disease-free survival differs according to different malignant tumours (P-value = 0.045). ConclusionsPost-hepatectomy liver failure is an emergent indication for rescue LT, but it is not universally accepted. In selected patients, LT can be a life-saving procedure with low short-term risks. However, special attention must be given to long-term oncological prognosis before proceeding with rescue LT in an urgent setting, considering the severity of liver malignancy, organ scarcity, the country's organ allocation policies and the resource of living-related donation. 相似文献

IntroductionRadioactive seed localisation (RSL) has become increasingly popular for localisation of non-palpable breast tumours. This is largely due to advantages it offers in terms of practicality and convenience when compared to guide wire localisation (WL). This institute switched from using WL to RSL in September 2014. The primary aim was to assess whether this change improved the accuracy of excision with regards to inadequate margin rates and weight of excision specimens. The secondary aim was to establish whether there is a “learning curve” associated with RSL technique. MethodsRetrospective data collection was performed for 333 consecutive cases of unifocal non-palpable invasive breast cancers undergoing excision with WL or RSL. An inadequate margin was defined as tumour <1 mm from an inked radial margin. Patient demographics, tumour characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between WL and RSL cases. Results100 WL and 233 RSL cases were included. Patient demographics and tumour characteristics were similar for both groups. Inadequate margin rates were 18% with WL and 8.6% with RSL (p = 0.013). Median specimen weights were 33.3 g with WL and 28.7 g with RSL (p = 0.014). Subdividing the RSL group into the first 100 cases performed (RSL1) and the subsequent 133 cases (RSL2), inadequate margin rates were 13.0% and 5.3% respectively (p = 0.037). Mean specimen weights were similar. ConclusionSwitching from WL to RSL results in a significant reduction in both inadequate margin rates and specimen weights. A procedure-specific learning curve is present on first implementation of RSL and following this, inadequate margin rates are further reduced. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: No survival data have yet been published from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for patients with rectal cancer. The present paper reports experience with these patients over an 8-year period. METHODS: All patients referred to the King Faisal Specialist Hospital (KFSH) between March 1990 and February 1998 for the primary management of rectal cancer were entered into a computerized database. Prior to 1993 patients did not receive adjuvant therapy. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test were used to compare outcome data. RESULTS: There were 70 men (average age: 55.6 years) and 75 women (average age: 52.8 years). Twelve per cent of patients admitted a family history of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Twenty-seven per cent of tumours were circumferential. Most tumours were larger than 4 cm and the lowest edge of the majority of tumours was less than 6 cm from the anal verge. Fifty-four per cent of tumours were fixed; 69% of patients received either pre-operative or postoperative radiotherapy. A total of 106 patients underwent 'curative' surgery. Equal numbers of patients had abdomino-perineal resection (APR) and anterior resection (AR) of the rectum. Thirty-five patients received blood peri-operatively (APR, 34%; AR, 12%). Major anastomotic leakage following AR occurred in two patients. Two patients died within 30 days of surgery. Ten patients were lost to follow-up. Following curative AR, eight patients had a distal resection margin of < 2 cm and two patients (Dukes' C) developed local recurrence (25%); 37 patients had a margin > 2 cm and seven developed local recurrence (18.9%). A total of 48 patients underwent curative APR, and four patients developed local recurrence (8.3%). Overall local recurrence was tumour stage-dependent (Dukes' B, 8.8%; Dukes' C, 29.3%). Recurrence was local in 13 patients. Pre-operative radiotherapy seemed to reduce average tumour size (3.6 vs 4.3 cm). The crude overall 5-year survival rate was 39%. The 5-year survival rate for patients with Dukes' stage C cancers following 'curative' surgery was 25%. CONCLUSION: Curative surgery can be performed with a relatively low requirement for blood transfusion, a low mortality and morbidity, and comparable outcomes to Western studies in spite of the large, low and often advanced stage of the tumours managed. Local recurrence rates following curative resection and re-anastomosis for low rectal cancers may be reduced by resisting patient pressure to avoid stomata. 相似文献

BackgroundWhen performing sublobar resection for lung cancer, the margin distance should exceed the tumor size. However, instead of total tumor size, the 8th edition TNM staging system has adopted the size of invasive component for the T stage. The aim of this study was to determine whether the prognosis was satisfactory when the resection margin distance was greater than the invasive component size instead of the total tumor size. MethodsFrom 2008 to 2017, 193 consecutive patients were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma (invasive component size ≤2 cm) and underwent sublobar resection. We analyzed risk factors for recurrence using clinicopathological factors including margin/invasive component ratio (resection margin distance/invasive component size). ResultsMean tumor size was 1.4 (±0.5) cm and the mean invasive component size was 0.8 cm (±0.5). In the multivariate analysis, neither resection margin distance (cm) nor margin/tumor ratio (resection margin distance/tumor size) was significant risk factors for recurrence. On the other hand, the margin/invasive component ratio (hazard ratio =0.035, p = 0.043) and the SUVmax (hazard ratio =1.993, p = 0.033) were significant risk factors for recurrence. ConclusionsWhen sublobar resection is performed for small (invasive component size ≤2 cm) adenocarcinomas of the lung, the resection margin distance should be larger than the invasive component size. Sublobar resection is not an appropriate treatment for lung adenocarcinoma with high SUVmax. 相似文献

Background: In the past, radical margins of excision were prescribed for cutaneous melanoma based on preconceived notions rather than
on hard clinical evidence.
Methods: In a prospective study of 742 patients with intermediate-thickness melanoma (1–4 mm), 470 patients with trunk or proximal
extremity lesions were randomized into a 2-or 4-cm margin. Patients with distal extremity or head and neck lesions (n=272)
received uniformly a 2-cm margin.
Results: The overall rate of local recurrence was 3.8%. This rate in the randomized portion (n=470) was 2.1% for the 2-cm margin and
2.6% for the 4-cm margin (p=0.72). A progressive increase in local recurrence rates was observed with thickness: 2.3% for
lesions 1.0–2.0 mm, 4.2% for those 2.01–3.0 mm, and 11.7% for those 3.01–4.0 mm thick (p=0.001). Local recurrence occurred
in 1.5% of those without ulceration and in 10.6% of those with ulceration of the primary lesion (p=0.001). The local recurrence
rate was not significantly affected by the margin of resection even among the thicker or ulcerated lesions. It also was not
affected significantly by the method of closure of the primary site or management of the regional nodes, or the age or gender
of the patients.
Conclusions: A 2-cm margin is as effective as a 4-cm margin in local control and survival of intermediate-thickness melanomas. The local
recurrence rate is significantly affected by the thickness of the primary lesion and the presence or not of ulceration.

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the rates of local recurrence and margin positivity in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer after pancreatectomy with or without irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation. MethodsProspective data for preoperative stages IIB (borderline resectable) and III were evaluated, with 75 patients undergoing pancreatectomy with irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation compared to 71 patients who underwent pancreatectomy alone from March 2010 to November 2020. ResultsBoth irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation and pancreatectomy-alone groups were similar for body mass index, Charleston comorbidity index, and sex. The irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation group had significantly greater preoperative stage III (irreversible electroporation 83% vs pancreatectomy alone 51%; P = .0001), with similar tumor location (head 64% vs 72%) and tumor size (median 2.9 vs 2.8). Neoadjuvant/induction chemotherapy and prior radiation therapy was similar in both groups (irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation 89% vs 72%). Surgical therapy included a greater percentage of pancreaticoduodenectomy in the pancreatectomy-alone group. Despite greater stage and greater percentage of margin positivity (irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation 27% vs 20%; P = not significant), rates of local recurrence were similar. The mean disease-free interval for local recurrence from time of diagnosis was similar (irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation 15.8 vs 16.5 pancreatectomy alone; P = not significant) and time of treatment (irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation 9.4 vs 10.5 months; P = not significant). Overall survival was improved with the irreversible electroporation with margin accentuation group, with a mean of 34.2 months versus 27.9 months in the pancreatectomy-alone group. ConclusionIrreversible electroporation with margin accentuation is safe and effective in stages IIB and III pancreatic adenocarcinomas that are technically resectable. Despite higher margin positivity rates, the time to local recurrence and the effects of recurrence were the same in the pancreatectomy-alone group. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of prognostic factors following resection of rectal cancer may be used in the selection of patients for adjuvant therapy. This study examined the prognostic impact of the circumferential resection margin on local recurrence, distant metastasis and survival rates. METHODS: A national population-based rectal cancer registry included all 3319 new patients from November 1993 to August 1997. Some 686 patients underwent total mesorectal excision with a known circumferential margin. This shortest radial resection margin was measured in fixed specimens. None of the patients had adjuvant radiotherapy. RESULTS: Following potentially curative resection and after a median follow-up of 29 (range 14--60) months, the overall local recurrence rate was 7 per cent (46 of 686 patients): 22 per cent among patients with a positive resection margin and 5 per cent in those with a negative margin (margin greater than 1 mm). Forty per cent of patients with a positive margin developed distant metastasis, compared with 12 per cent of those with a negative margin. With decreasing circumferential margin there was an exponential increase in the rates of local recurrence, metastasis and death. CONCLUSION: The circumferential margin has a significant and major prognostic impact on the rates of local recurrence, distant metastasis and survival. Information on circumferential margin is important in the selection of patients for postoperative adjuvant therapy. 相似文献
