Background
The American College of Surgeons established the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) to standardize rectal cancer care. We sought to assess the impact of NAPRC guidelines at a tertiary care center on surgical margin status.
Materials and methods
The Institutional NSQIP database was queried for patients with rectal adenocarcinoma undergoing surgery for curative intent two years prior to and following implementation of NAPRC guidelines. Primary outcome was surgical margin status before (pre-NAPRC) versus after (post-NAPRC) implementation of NAPRC guidelines.
Results
Surgical pathology in five (5%) pre-NAPRC and seven (8%) post-NAPRC patients had positive radial margins (p = 0.59); distal margins were positive in three (3%) post-NAPRC and six (7%) post-NAPRC patients (p = 0.37). Local recurrence was observed in seven (6%) pre-NAPRC patients, there were no recurrences to date in post-NAPRC patients (p = 0.15). Metastasis was observed in 18 (17%) pre-NAPRC patients and four (4%) post-NAPRC patients (p = 0.55).
Conclusion
NAPRC implementation was not associated with a change in surgical margin status for rectal cancer at our institution. However, the NAPRC guidelines formalize evidence-based rectal cancer care and we anticipate that improvements will be greatest in low-volume hospitals which may not utilize multidisciplinary collaboration.

Background
Increasing data suggests that the combination of modern systemic therapies and Cytoreductive surgery with or without Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) may improve the outcome of patients with colon cancer with peritoneal metastases. Patient selection and sequence of treatments remains ill-defined.
Materials and methods
A working group, the State of Delaware Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Task Force (DE-PSM-TF), was created including representatives from medical and surgical oncology from the acute care hospitals in Delaware. An extensive review of all available literature was carried out. Virtual meetings were held, and interpretation and discussion of the data was conducted.
Results
A clinical pathway that includes a multidisciplinary evaluation at the time of diagnosis of colon cancer with peritoneal metastases and reflects a consensus from the Task Force on 7 key points that suggest the management of these patients based on the severity of their peritoneal metastases and incorporates all currently available therapies was created. The sequence of therapies of this multimodality treatment was determined by the Peritoneal Surface Disease Severity Score (PSDSS) (Fig. 1).
Conclusion
The current pathway represents a comprehensive, team effort that should improve the outcome of patients with Colon Cancer with peritoneal metastases in the state of Delaware by having multidisciplinary discussions at the time of diagnosis, selecting the best order of sequence of currently available therapies in order to maximize benefits and minimize morbidity.

Introduction
Axillary Ultrasound (AUS) is standard for pre-therapeutic axillary staging in early breast cancer patients. 35–75 % of the breast cancer (BC) patients with positive axillary lymph nodes receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) convert to pathological node negative. For those patients, axillary surgery after NACT could be de-escalated, if an accurate prediction of the pathologic nodal status following NACT was possible. This study aims to answer the question, whether AUS can be used as a reliable diagnostic tool for restaging of axillary nodal status after NACT.
Patients and methods
We collected data of 96 patients with nodal positive primary breast cancer who received NACT between 2009 and 2015 at the Breast Cancer Center of the University Hospital Ulm. Patients were classified as node negative or positive by AUS after NACT (ycN + or ycN0) and the results were compared to the pathological result obtained after axillary lymph node dissection (ypN + vs ypN0) in all patients.
Results
58.3 % of the patients had pathological complete remission of axillary lymph nodes after NACT (ypN0). The sensitivity and specificity of AUS were 57.5 % and 78.6 %, respectively. The FNR was 42.5 %. The Positive and Negative Predictive Values (PPV and NPV) were 65.7 % and 72.1 %, respectively. The accuracy of AUS was 69.8 % and not associated with any of the investigated clinico-pathological parameters.
Conclusion
AUS alone is not accurate enough to replace surgical restaging of the axilla after NACT in initially node positive breast cancer patients.
腋窝超声(AUS)是早期乳腺癌患者治疗前腋窝分期的标准。35 - 75%接受新辅助化疗(NACT)的腋窝淋巴结阳性乳腺癌(BC)患者转化为病理淋巴结阴性。对于这些患者,如果能够准确预测NACT后的病理淋巴结状态,则可以减少NACT后的腋窝手术。本研究旨在回答AUS是否可以作为NACT术后腋窝淋巴结状态重新定位的可靠诊断工具。患者和方法我们收集了2009年至2015年间在乌尔姆大学医院乳腺癌中心接受NACT治疗的96例淋巴结阳性原发性乳腺癌患者的数据。将所有患者经NACT (ycN +或ycN0)治疗后的病理结果(ypN + vs ypN0)与经NACT (ypN0)治疗后的腋窝淋巴结病理完全缓解率(58.3%)进行比较。AUS的敏感性为57.5%,特异性为78.6%。FNR为42.5%。阳性预测值(PPV)为65.7%,阴性预测值(NPV)为72.1%。AUS的准确率为69.8%,与所研究的任何临床病理参数无关。结论单纯aus不足以替代原发性淋巴结阳性乳腺癌患者NACT术后腋窝再植手术。

Introduction
Breast-conserving surgery associated with adjuvant radiotherapy is the state of the art in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Oncoplastic surgery through dermo-adipose flaps based in perforating arteries (muscle sparing flaps) for partial reconstruction is increasingly used as a good option for avoiding musculocutaneous flaps. In this study we evaluate the outcomes of the use of chest wall perforator flaps in the replacement of partial breast volume.
Methods
A prospective cohort study of female patients that underwent a conservative oncoplastic surgery procedure with partial breast reconstruction using a dermo-adipose flap of perforating arteries of the chest wall was conducted between November 2020 and March 2022 at our centre. Primary outcomes were surgical morbidity, positive margins and reoperation rates. Characteristics associated with the occurrence of complications were further identified.
Results
Forty-five patients underwent the procedure of interest during the study period. The mean age was 55 years. The median larger dimension of the tumor was 23 mm. Lateral intercostal artery perforator (LICAP), lateral thoracic artery perforator (LTAP), a combined flap and Anterior Intercostal Artery Perforator/Medial Intercostal Artery Perforator (AICAP)/(MICAP) were performed in 22, 16, 2 and 5 patients, respectively. The mean operative time was 126 min. A total of 9 (20.0%) patients required a reoperation after definitive diagnosis, 4 due to positive margins and 5 due to immediate/early surgical morbidity.
Conclusions
Local perforator flaps in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery are a good option for immediate reconstruction after conservative surgery, showing low morbidity and favourable outcomes.

Background
Radical surgical excision may be the only curative option for patients with advanced pelvic malignancy, but concerns surrounding the functional outcomes and survivorship of patients undergoing exenterative surgery remain. This is especially important in the context of vulvovaginal resection, where patients are often younger and surgery can have a profoundly negative impact on quality of life, body image and overall wellbeing. Reconstructive procedures are an important means of mitigating these adverse effects but outcomes are poorly described.
Aim
To define the outcomes associated with gynaecological reconstructive procedures following pelvic exenterative surgery and to compare them with the outcomes of those patients who did not undergo reconstruction.
Methods
An international, multicentre retrospective investigation comparing the outcomes of reconstruction with no reconstruction. The protocol was prospectively registered (NCT05074069).
Results
334 patients were included. 77 patients had a neovagina reconstructed, 139 patients underwent flap reconstruction and 118 were not reconstructed. Patients who underwent reconstruction had a longer operative time and hospital stay with an increased risk of minor perineal complications. Reconstruction did not confer an increased risk of surgical reintervention, and overall complication rates were equivalent. Procedure-specific major morbidity was 5.2 % and 11.5 % for neovaginal and flap reconstruction, respectively. 66 % of patients undergoing neovaginal reconstruction experienced no long term morbidity. 7 % developed neovaginal stenosis and 12 % suffered disease recurrence.
Conclusion
Neovaginal reconstruction is safe in carefully selected patients and offers specific advantages over alternative techniques, with few patients requiring reoperation. Primary closure does not increase perineal morbidity.

There are no previous studies on pseudomyxoma peritonei regarding the details of surgical procedures included in cytoreductive surgery and quantitative evaluation for peritoneal metastases by region in the abdominal cavity. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and procedural details involved in cytoreductive surgery, and survival outcomes of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, and identify differences in the difficulty of cytoreductive surgery based on tumor location.
Methods
Patient characteristics and survival outcomes were studied through a retrospective review. The complete cytoreduction rate (i), the 5-year survival rate for patients with complete cytoreduction (ii), and an index as a complement (i × ii × 100) were described for patients who had tumors larger than 50 mm in one of the 13 regions of the abdominal cavity.
Results
A total of 989 patients were treated with curative-intent cytoreductive surgery. The median peritoneal cancer index was 18 (interquartile range, 6–29), with complete cytoreduction achieved in 702 patients (71%); the major complication rate was 17%. The median overall survival was 92.9 months, compared to 53.8 months for patients who underwent total gastrectomy and 30.4 months for those who underwent total colectomy. In the 13 abdominal regions, the index scores indicating cytoreduction difficulty were categorized into three risk groups: upper and mid-abdominal (>20), lateral abdominal (10–20), and small bowel (<10).
Conclusions
Cytoreductive surgery offered favorable survival outcomes, even in cases involving total gastrectomy. The difficulty of achieving complete cytoreduction varied across abdominal regions and was classified into three levels.

The skeleton is a common site for metastases. Prostate, breast, lung, renal and thyroid carcinomas account for 80 % of the original cancers, with the femur being the most affected long bone. With improved oncological treatments, prolonged patient survival leads to an increased prevalence of osseous metastases. This study examines the impact of preventive surgery for impending femoral pathological fracture (IFF), versus treatment of pathological femur fracture (PFF) on patient mortality and morbidity.
Methods
Retrospective cohort of 174 patients undergoing surgery due to femoral metastases (2004–2015). Eighty-two patients were with PFF, and 92 were with IFF based on the Mirels' score. The followed-up period was until 2016. Demographic data, oncological, pathological, radiation, surgical reports, outpatient clinical records, and imaging studies were examined. Exclusion criteria included primary tumours and Multiple Myeloma.
Results
The mean age was 64.8 ± 13.3 and 60.2 ± 11.9 years (p = 0.02) in the PFF and the IFF cohorts, with 62.1 % women and 57 % men. The breast was the most common source of femoral metastases. The average Mirels' score was 10 ± 1.2. There was an association between tumour origin and survival. Carcinoma of the lung had the worst survival, while the prostate had the most prolonged survival. Survival rates differed between IFF and PFF (p = 0.03). Postoperative complications occurred in 26 % of the patient, with no difference between IFF & PFF.
Conclusion
Breast and lung are the most common tumours to metastasize the femur. Our study revalidates that pathological femoral fractures impede patient survival compared to impending fractures and should undergo preventive surgery. Postoperative complications do not differ between IFF and PFF but remain relatively high. Overall, patients with proximal femoral metastatic disease survive longer than previously published, probably due to improved treatment modalities.

Background
Pathological complete response (pCR) following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for breast cancer is associated with improved disease-free and overall survival in certain breast cancer subtypes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used as standard to assess treatment response in patients receiving NACT. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical utility of MRI in accurately predicting pCR post-NACT.
Methods
A single-centre, retrospective study was conducted in breast cancer patients, who received NACT between 2013 and 2020. Patients who had an MRI before and after NACT were included. Pathological and MRI radiological response rates to NACT were analyzed and MRI accuracy assessed in detecting pCR according to breast cancer subtype.
Results
One hundred and sixty-seven patients were included in the study. Forty-one of the 167 patients achieved pCR (24.6 %), with the highest proportion in HR- HER2+ subgroup (58.3 %), followed by triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) (35 %). Only 22.2 % and 10.5 % of patients with HR + HER2+ and HR + HER2-respectively achieved pCR. The overall accuracy of MRI in predicting pCR after NACT was 77.3 %. The greatest accuracy was in TNBC (87.5 %) with a specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of 100 % and the highest number of correctly diagnosed complete responses (14 of 40). MRI was less accurate in predicting response rates in HR + HER2- (PPV 91.2 %) and HR + HER2+ groups (PPV 90.5 %). MRI performed significantly better in predicting complete response in TNBC compared to HR + HER2-subtype (p = 0.0057).
Conclusion
MRI is a clinically useful adjunct in assessing pCR following NACT and appears to predict pathological response more accurately in TNBC compared to HR + HER2-breast cancer subtypes. This has significant clinical implications in terms of surgical planning, adjuvant treatment options and prognosis.
