MSO-MTCC PG TRIPOLI October 1ST 2010 HOW TO AVOID MAJOR SURGERY IN RECTAL CANCER A. MONTORI M.D. F.A.C.S. PROFESSOR OF SURGERY UNIVERSITY OF ROME “LA SAPIENZA” President of EAcSS
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL NEOPLASMS THE LOCAL EXCISION OF RECTAL NEOPLASMS STILL REPRESENTS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE: • The nature of the lesion (benign or malignant) • The location (distance from anal verge) • The metodology to be used • The progress of technology • The different approach (Surgical or Endoscopic) • The results obtained • The radicality of the intervention (Long-Term survival - QoL)
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER LOCAL EXCISION OF RECTAL CANCER IN LOW-RISK PATIENTS IS APPEALING BUT IT PROVIDES LIMITED CONTROL OF THE DISEASE (LACK OF “N” STAGING). NEVERTHELESS IN THE RECENT YEARS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE A CORRECT PREOPERATIVE TUMOR AND NODE STAGING DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OF THE TRANSANAL ULTRASOUND, MRI, LYNPHOSCINTIGRAFY, ELICOIDAL CT SCAN IMAGING.

SHAPE OF THE SPECIMEN IS LIKE A TRUNCATED PYRAMID • FULL THIKNESS + “local perirectal fat “ EXCISION”
WE START TO THINK THAT RECTAL CANCER COULD BE TREATED WITH LOCAL EXCISION NEARLY 25 YEARS AGO! Int J Colorect Dis (1986) 1:208-211 Surg Endosc (1987) 1:113-117
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER NEED FOR ADJUVANT THERAPY • RADIOTHERAPY (Full Dose: 5,040 cGy - 4 weeks) • CHEMOTHERAPY (5 fu cont. infusion 200mg/m2/day for 2 weeks) • (IMMUNOTHERAPY)
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER OUR EXPERIENCE 1987-1992: XRT (FULL DOSE) (26 Pts) PRE POST T0 3 T1 5 T1 14 T2 12 DOWNSTAGING LOCAL EXCISION T2 7 T3 9 T3 2 LOCAL RECURRENCES 3 Pts (mean follow up 30 months)
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER OUR EXPERIENCE 1992 - 2001: XRT+CHT (11 Pts) PRE POST T0 5 T1 4 T1 4 T2 4 DOWNSTAGING LOCAL EXCISION T2 2 T3 3 T3 0 LOCAL RECURRENCES 1 Pts (mean follow up 30 months)
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT IN OUR EXPERIENCE, NEOADJUVANT XRT+CHT GIVE A BETTER RESPONSE AS FAR AS LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER IS CONCERNED. ACCORDING TO A.HABR-GAMA 30.5% OF Pts WITH DOWNSTAGING (T0) DO NOT NEED SURGERY. Angelita Habr-Gama Dis Colon Rectum 1998
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCERS IS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW MORBIDITY AND PROVIDES SATISFACTORY LOCAL CONTROL AND DISEASE-FREE SURVIVAL RATES FOR T1 RECTAL CANCER. THERE WAS, HOWEVER, A NEED FOR A RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED TRIAL FOR T2 CANCERS, COMPARING LOCAL EXCISION (FULL THICKNESS ABLATION WITH RDT-CHT) TO RADICAL RESECTION.
TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION INCLUSION CRITERIA • Patients staged as T2N0 G1-2 : • tumour diameter lower than 3 cm • within 6 cm from the anal verge Lezoche & coll. Surg. Endoscopy 2005
TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION AIM OF THE STUDY To compare the results of two minimally invasive procedure (TEM vsLaparoscopic Low Anterior Resection or Laparoscopic Abdominal Perineal Resection) in the treatment of low rectal cancer. INFACT IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT LAP COLORECTAL RESECTION IS LESS IMMUNOSUPPRESIVE THAN THE OPEN APPROACH
TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION • Evidence of local or distance metastases • Other malignancies in history EXCLUSION CRITERIA • Exclusion criteria for radiotherapy: • severe diverticular disease or previusly radiotherapy • Exclusion criteria for chemotherapy: • patients older than 70 years and/or with compromised general • conditions Lezoche & coll. Surg. Endoscopy 2005
TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION • 40 patients T2N0 G1-2 • with 3 year follow-up were randomized to: • 20 patients to TEM20 patients to Lap. Resect. • (arm A)(arm B) Prospective randomized trial

TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION CONCLUSIONS 1 • According to the study design in our experience TEM versus LR with preoperative chemoradiotherapy has achieved no significant difference in terms of: • probability of local recurrence or distant metastases (5%) • disease free survival rate (85% in arm A and 80% and B ) • post operative complications
TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION CONCLUSIONS 2 • According to the study design in our experience TEM versus LR with preoperative chemoradiotherapy has achieved significative better results in terms of: • n. of temporary & definitive stoma (p 0.016) • convertion rate (p 0.05) • operative time (p 0.001) • blood loss (p 0.001) and necessity of trasfusions • use of analgesic (p 0.001) • hospital stay (p 0.001)
TEM VS LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION CONCLUSIONS 3 ADVANTAGES OF TEM • low operative trauma • more rapid return to • - normal respiratory functions • - quick ambulation • - normal activities • better cosmetic results
LOCAL EXCISION FOR RECTAL CANCER CONCLUSION 4 THE LOCAL EXCISION OF THE RECTAL CANCER STILL REPRESENTS TODAY A VERY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE, HOWEVER THE ROLE OF NEOADJUVANT THERAPY SEEMS TO BE BENEFICIAL. THEREFORE PRIOR TO PROCEEDING FOR EXCISION OF RECTAL CANCER A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AMONG SURGEON, ONCOLOGIST, RADIOLOGIST AND PATHOLOGIST IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO SELECT THE Pts AND CONSIDER THE RISK OF LOCAL RECURRENCES.
