    Abstract Purpose: Aim of the study was to perform CT texture analysis in patients with gastric cancer (GC) to investigate potential role of radiomics for predicting the occurrence of peritoneal metastases (PM).
    Materials and methods: In this single-centre retrospective study, patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and surgically confirmed presence or absence of PM were, respectively, enrolled in group PM and group non-PM. Patients with T1-staging, previous treatment or presence of imaging artifacts were excluded from the study. Pre-operative CT examinations were evaluated. Acquisition protocol consisted of gastric distension with water, pre-contrast and arterial phases on upper abdomen and portal phase on thorax and whole abdomen. Texture analysis was performed on portal phase images: the region of interest was manually drawn along the margins of the primitive lesion on each slice and the volume of interest of the whole tumour was obtained. A total of 38 texture parameters were extracted and analysed. ROC curves were performed on significant texture features (p < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression was conducted on features with the best AUC to identify differentiating variables for both groups.
    Results: A total of 90 patients were evaluated (group PM, n = 45; group non-PM, n = 45). T2/T3 tumours were prevalent in group non-PM, T4 was significantly associated with group PM. Significant differences between the two groups were observed for 22/38 texture parameters. Volume and GLRLM_LRHGE showed the greatest AUC in ROC curve analysis (0.737 and 0.734, respectively) and were found to be independent differentiating variables of group PM in the multiple regression analysis (OR 8.44, [95% CI, 1.52-46.8] and OR 18.99 [95% CI, 84-195.31], respectively).
    Conclusions: Our preliminary results suggest the potential value of CT texture analysis for predicting the risk of PM from GC, which may be helpful to stratify patients and address them to the most appropriate treatment.

    Abstract Oligometastatic disease has been described as an intermediate clinical state between localized cancer and systemically metastasized disease. Recent clinical studies have shown prolonged survival when aggressive locoregional approaches are added to systemic therapies in patients with oligometastases. The aim of this review is to outline the newest options to treat oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), also considering its molecular patterns. We present an overview of the available local treatment strategies, including surgical procedures, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), thermal ablation, as well as trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT). Moreover, since imaging methods provide crucial information for the early diagnosis and management of oligometastatic CRC, we discuss the role of modern radiologic techniques in selecting patients that are amenable to potentially curative locoregional treatments.

    Abstract Peritoneal carcinosis is a condition characterized by the spread of cancer cells to the peritoneum, which is the thin membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. It is a serious condition that can result from many different types of cancer, including ovarian, colon, stomach, pancreatic, and appendix cancer. The diagnosis and quantification of lesions in peritoneal carcinosis are critical in the management of patients with the condition, and imaging plays a central role in this process. Radiologists play a vital role in the multidisciplinary management of patients with peritoneal carcinosis. They need to have a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition, the underlying neoplasms, and the typical imaging findings. In addition, they need to be aware of the differential diagnoses and the advantages and disadvantages of the various imaging methods available. Imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and quantification of lesions, and radiologists play a critical role in this process. Ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and PET/CT scans are used to diagnose peritoneal carcinosis. Each imaging procedure has advantages and disadvantages, and particular imaging techniques are recommended based on patient conditions. Our aim is to provide knowledge to radiologists regarding appropriate techniques, imaging findings, differential diagnoses, and treatment options. With the advent of AI in oncology, the future of precision medicine appears promising, and the interconnection between structured reporting and AI is likely to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for patients with peritoneal carcinosis.

    Abstract Background/aim: To compare clinical outcomes following intensified total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) and intensified neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
    Patients and methods: Of the 79 patients with LARC admitted to our department, 51 received intensified neoadjuvant CRT (CRT group) and 28 received intensified TNT (TNT group). Intensified TNT was defined as multi-agent chemotherapy, including FOLFOXIRI regimen plus bevacizumab (mutated Ras-BRAF) or panitumumab/cetuximab (wild-type Ras-BRAF) followed by oxaliplatin-5-fluorouracil-based CRT and surgery. Kaplan-Meier and Log rank test were used for survival analysis. Survival rates of the two groups were compared using propensity score matching.
    Results: Data from 28 TNT patients and 28 CRT patients were analyzed after a 1:1 propensity matching with replacement. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates with TNT were comparable to those with CRT. The 5-year DMFS rates for TNT and CRT were 61.5% versus 63.0% (p=0.82), respectively. In the TNT group, 32.1% patients (n=9) achieved pathological complete response (pCR), whereas 21.4% patients (n=6) achieved pCR with CRT (p=0.37).
    Conclusion: Intensified TNT and CRT resulted in similar survival outcomes, while intensified TNT led to higher pCR, albeit not statistically significant.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the predictive role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in the assessment of response to total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
    Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, patients with LARC who underwent staging MRI and TNT were enrolled. MRI-based staging, tumor volume, and DWI-ADC values were analyzed. Patients were classified as complete responders (pCR) and non-complete responders (non-pCR), according to post-surgical outcome. Pre-treatment ADC values were compared to pathological outcome, post-treatment downstaging, and reduction of tumor volume. The diagnostic accuracy of DWI-ADC in differentiating between pCR and non-pCR groups was calculated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
    Results: A total of 36 patients were evaluated (pCR, n = 20; non-pCR, n = 16). Pre-treatment ADC values were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.034), while no association was found between pre-TNT tumor volume and pathological response. ADC values showed significant correlations with loco-regional downstaging after therapy (r = -0.537, p = 0.022), and with the reduction of tumor volume (r = -0.480, p = 0.044). ADC values were able to differentiate pCR from non-pCR patients with a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 70%.
    Conclusions: ADC values on pre-treatment MRI were strongly associated with the outcome in patients with LARC, both in terms of pathological response and in loco-regional downstaging after TNT, suggesting the use of DW-MRI as a potential predictive tool of response to therapy.
    Key points: • ADC values of pre-TNT MRI examinations of patients with LARC were significantly associated with a pathological complete response (pCR) and with post-treatment regression of TNM staging. • An ADC value of 1.042 ×10

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the impact of vaccination on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and moreover on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, by assessing the extent of lung disease using the CT severity score (CTSS).
    Methods: Between September 2021 and February 2022, SARS-CoV-2 positive patients who underwent chest CT were retrospectively enrolled. Anamnestic and clinical data, including vaccination status, were obtained. All CT scans were evaluated by two readers using the CTSS, based on a 25-point scale. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the associations between CTSS and clinical or demographic variables. An outcome analysis was used to differentiate clinical outcome between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.
    Results: Of the 1040 patients (537 males, 503 females; median age 58 years), 678 (65.2%) were vaccinated and 362 (34.8%) unvaccinated. Vaccinated patients showed significantly lower CTSS compared to unvaccinated patients (p < 0.001), also when patients without lung involvement (CTSS = 0) were excluded (p < 0.001). Older age, male gender and lower number of doses administered were associated with higher CTSS, however, in the multivariate analysis, vaccination status resulted to be the variable with the strongest association with CTSS. Clinical outcomes were significantly worse in unvaccinated patients, including higher number of ICU admissions and higher mortality rates.
    Conclusions: Lung involvement during COVID-19 was significantly less severe in vaccinated patients compared with unvaccinated patients, who also showed worse clinical outcomes. Vaccination status was the strongest variable associated to the severity of COVID-related, more than age, gender, and number of doses administered.

    Abstract Background: Even though breast cancer is the most frequent extra-abdominal tumor causing peritoneal metastases, clear clinical guidelines are lacking. Our aim is to establish whether cytoreductive surgery (CRS) could be considered in selected patients with peritoneal metastases from breast cancer (PMBC) to manage abdominal spread and allow patients to resume or complete other medical treatments.
    Methods: We considered patients with PMBC treated in 10 referral centers from January 2002 to May 2019. Clinical data included primary cancer characteristics (age, histology, and TNM) and data on metastatic disease (interval between primary BC and PM, molecular subtype, other metastases, and peritoneal spread). Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariable data for OS were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model.
    Results: Of the 49 women with PMBC, 20 were treated with curative aim (CRS with or without HIPEC) and 29 were treated with non-curative procedures. The 10-year OS rate was 27%. Patients treated with curative intent had a better OS than patients treated with non-curative procedures (89.2% vs. 6% at 36 months,
    Conclusions: The improved outcome in selected cases after a multidisciplinary approach including surgery should lead researchers to regard PMBC patients with greater attention despite their scarce epidemiological impact. Our collective efforts give new information, suggest room for improvement, and point to further research for a hitherto poorly studied aspect of metastatic BC.
