    Abstract Background: Sarcopenia in cancer patients has been associated with mixed postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the development of sarcopenia during the neoadjuvant period is predictive of postoperative mortality in esophageal adenocarcinoma patients.
    Methods: We queried a prospective database to retrieve the sarcopenic status of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma who underwent cross-sectional imaging of the third lumbar vertebra at diagnosis and within 2 months of undergoing an esophagogastrectomy between 2014 and 2022.
    Results: Of the 71 patients included in the study, 36 (50.7%) presented with sarcopenia at diagnosis. Of the 35 non-sarcopenic patients, 14 (40%) developed sarcopenia during the neo-adjuvant period. Patients who were not sarcopenic at diagnosis but developed sarcopenia preoperatively had significantly worse overall survival than patients sarcopenic at diagnosis and not sarcopenic preoperatively and patients experiencing no change in sarcopenic status (median 18 vs 47 vs 31 months; P = .02). Diagnostic and preoperative sarcopenic status alone were not significantly associated with overall survival (P = .48 and P = .56, respectively). Although 37 (52.1%) patients died, the cause of death was often not cancer-related (54.1%) and included acute respiratory failure, pneumonia, and cardiac arrest. No significant survival difference was observed when stratified by >10% weight loss (P = .9) or large loss in body mass index (P = .8).
    Conclusion: Developing sarcopenia during the neo-adjuvant period may be associated with worse overall survival in patients requiring esophagogastrectomy.

    Abstract Background: Hepatic thermal ablation has been found to be effective and equivalent to resection in certain liver histologies. Of the 16,000 annual liver ablations performed in the United States, only 13% (2,080 ablations) are performed laparoscopically. The laparoscopic technique remains underused even with the benefits of improved staging and better access to tumors. The purpose of this study is to compare laparoscopic microwave ablation versus percutaneous microwave ablation in terms of efficacy and recurrence-free survival outcomes in patients with hepatic malignancies.
    Methods: A comparative analysis was performed on 275 patients (289 ablation procedures) who underwent laparoscopic microwave ablation or percutaneous microwave ablation between February 2011 and May 2021. Ablation success was confirmed postprocedure and recurrence was monitored at follow-up via contrast-enhanced computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging and/or computed tomography/positron emission tomography.
    Results: The groups were similar for sex, age, body mass index, location of tumor, size of tumor, and number of tumors. Ablation success was 100% in both groups. Local recurrence was significant (5%: laparoscopic microwave ablation vs 22%: percutaneous microwave ablation, P = .002) and same-lobe recurrence (21%: laparoscopic microwave ablation vs 24%: percutaneous microwave ablation) was lower in the laparoscopic microwave ablation group. Median recurrence-free survival was 15.8 months for the laparoscopic microwave ablation group and 5.6 months for the percutaneous microwave ablation group (P = .0002). Overall, 90-day complications were lower in the laparoscopic microwave ablation group (11%) compared with the percutaneous microwave ablation group (21%) (P = .11).
    Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgical ablation is a critical surgical skill that must be taught in fellowship. Laparoscopic microwave ablation leads to better tumor specific outcomes and oncologic outcomes demonstrating clinical efficacy in the treatment of hepatic malignancies compared with percutaneous microwave ablation.

    Abstract Objectives: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. PDAC has poor response to immunotherapy because of its unique tumour microenvironment (TME). In an attempt to stimulate immunologically silent pancreatic cancer, we investigated the role of epigenetic therapy in modulating the TME to improve immunogenicity.
    Methods: In vitro
    Results: Drug treatments induced significant upregulation of gene expressions of Th1-attracting chemokines,
    Conclusion: We demonstrate that immunotherapy for PDAC can be potentiated with epigenetic therapy by increasing cancer-associated antigen expression and increased T-cell trafficking across the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment via upregulation of the repressed chemokines and increased apoptosis with subsequent tumour regression.

    Abstract Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is an effective, aggressive approach to treating intraperitoneal carcinomatosis. This study aimed to test the efficacy/safety of an enhanced recovery (ERAS) program after CRS-HIPEC surgery.
    Methods: Review of an IRB-approved prospectively maintained HIPEC database from 2003 to 2019. Adverse events and outcomes related to the primary operation were noted.
    Results: 125 HIPEC procedures performed met inclusion criteria, with 20 treated through ERAS. There was an improvement in LOS (ERAS: 9, 6.0-28.0; non-ERAS: 11.0, 6.0-45.1, P = 0.5), a significant reduction in opioid use during hospitalization (ERAS Total Morphine Equivalents 156 vs Non-ERAS of 856, p < 0.001), and a significant reduction in discharge opioid requirements (ERAS 55% of patients, non-ERAS 97%, p < 0.02).
    Conclusion: ERAS for CRS-HIPEC is safe, while maintaining quality outcomes, and leads to significant reductions in hospital opioid use and discharge narcotic usage. Our experience supports the full implementation of an ERAS protocol for HIPEC.

    Abstract Background: A growing body of evidence supports the use of multigene signature panels (MSPs) in predicting recurrence risk in patients with invasive breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate trends in MSP use over time and the effect of MSPs on administration of postoperative chemotherapy.
    Study design: The National Cancer Database was queried for all women with invasive breast cancer who underwent resection between 2011 and 2014 and had information about performance of an MSP, hormone receptor status, and receipt of chemotherapy. Multigene signature panel use over time was evaluated, and patterns of use of Oncotype DX (ODX) and MammaPrint (MP) were compared.
    Results: In a total of 476,128 patients, an MSP was obtained in 153,782 (30.2%). Multigene signature panel use increased over time and was associated with a decreased rate of chemotherapy administration (24.6% MSP vs 37.2% no MSP; p < 0.001). Oncotype DX remained the most common MSP used throughout the study period. Oncotype DX was used more commonly in stage I disease than MP, and MP was used more commonly in stage II and III disease. MammaPrint was more commonly used in hormone receptor-negative patients, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive patients, and patients with positive lymph nodes. Postoperative chemotherapy was administered to a higher proportion of patients assessed with MP than with ODX (41.3% vs 23.4%, respectively; p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Use of MSPs among patients with breast cancer has increased over time and is associated with a decreased use of adjuvant chemotherapy. Oncotype DX continues to be the most widely used MSP, although MP use has increased over time. Future studies are warranted to determine the optimal use of these MSPs in risk assessment and postoperative decision making.

    Abstract Background: Liver-directed hepatic arterial therapies are associated with improved survival and effective symptom control for patients with unresectable neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM). Whether transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 (y-90) are associated with improved short- or long-term outcomes is unknown.
    Study design: A retrospective review was performed of all patients with NELM undergoing transarterial therapies, from 2000 to 2018, at 2 academic medical centers. Postoperative morbidity, radiographic response according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria, and long-term outcomes were compared between patients who underwent TACE vs TARE.
    Results: Among 248 patients with NELM, 197 (79%) received TACE and 51 (21%) received TARE. While patients who underwent TACE were more likely to have carcinoid syndrome, larger tumors, and higher chromogranin A levels, there was no difference in tumor differentiation, primary site, bilobar disease, or synchronous presentation. Nearly all TARE treatments (92%) were performed as outpatient procedures, while 99% of TACE patients spent at least 1 night in the hospital. There were no differences in overall morbidity (TARE 13.7% vs TACE 22.6%, p = 0.17), grade III/IV complication (5.9% vs 9.2%, p = 0.58), or 90-day mortality. The disease control rate (DCR) on first post-treatment imaging (RECIST partial/complete response or stable disease) was greater for TACE compared with TARE (96% vs 83%, p < 0.01). However, there was no difference in median overall survival (OS, 35.9 months vs 50.1 months, p = 0.3) or progression-free survival (PFS, 15.9 months vs 19.9 months, p = 0.37).
    Conclusions: In this retrospective multi-institutional analysis, both TACE and TARE with Y-90 were safe and effective liver-directed therapies for unresectable NELM. Although TARE was associated with a shorter length of hospital stay, TACE demonstrated improved short-term DCR, and both resulted in comparable long term outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a relatively new approach to the management of multiple types of locally advanced soft tissue tumors. Unique peri-procedural anesthetic management is needed in the safe and effective delivery of this therapy.
    Objectives: This study analyzed IRE therapy in relation to anesthetic management for our initial cohort and then established and validated a set of best practical guidelines for general anesthesia in patients undergoing IRE for abdominal tumors.
    Patients and methods: An IRB-approved prospective data collection outcome protocol was utilized. This study was broken up into two cohorts as follows: the initial 38 patients (pts) undergoing IRE in which anesthetic management was not defined or optimized and then a 40-pt validation cohort to establish the most efficacious anesthetic protocols.
    Results: During IRE delivery, a deeper neuromuscular blockade is required to ensure that all retroperitoneal muscle excitation was minimized. In the initial 38-pt cohort, attempts to treat hypertension (median SBP 190, range 185-215 and median diastolic 98, range 91-115) were made with various types of anti-hypertensives with minimal-to-insufficient effects. The established inhalation was sevoflurane with an approximate median dose of 8.0 volume percentage. Analgesic management of continuous remifentanil was utilized with epidural management, which optimized HTN and tolerance to IRE therapy.
    Conclusions: Anesthetic management for IRE of soft tissue deviates from standard anesthetic medical therapy in regards to depth of neuromuscular blockade and analgesic management during IRE energy delivery. However, minor modifications in anesthesia management allow for a safe and efficient patient procedure.
