【Abstract】Objective Through using neoadjuvant chemotherapy of different circles combined colorectal cancer operations under multi-disciplinary team (MDT), we evaluate effective treatment strategies that suit to colorectal cancer patients in this country. Methods The retrospective study reviewed patients with colorectal cancer treated in general surgery department Ⅲ in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from October 2006 to April 2007. According to the circle times of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patients were divided into single-circle group, double-circle group and triple-circle group. And comparing the difference of treatment time, effect index of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and operative results used these stratagies. Results The difference between the time from the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the operation in three groups had no statistical significance （Pgt;0.05）, which were （5.64±2.00） d in single-circle group, (5.80±3.74） d in double-circle group, （6.22±2.76） d in triple-circle group. According to the treatment effects, CEA value decreased during pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy in each groups （Plt;0.01）. Subjective reception such as hemafecia, anal tenemus and defecation obstruction in double-circle group and triple-circle group were obviously improved than that in single-circle group （Plt;0.01）. Evaluating the tumor condition, the ratio of CR and PR in double-circle group and triple-circle group was higher than that in single-circle group （Plt;0.01）. According to the adverse effect, WBC value of double-circle group and triple-circle group decreased during pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, their difference had statistical significance （Plt;0.01）. The difference of WBC pre- and post- neoadjuvant chemotherapy in single-circle group decreased fewer than that in double-circle group and triple-circle group （Plt;0.01）. Nausea and vomit response in triple-circle group were obviously more serious than that in single-circle group and double-circle group （Plt;0.01）. But abdominal distention and diarrhea response had no difference among three groups （Pgt;0.05）. Through our survey, used different neoadjuvant chemotherapy circle, patients in single-circle group and double-circle group were completely accepted within full confidence; but receptance of strategy in triple-circle group was 66.7％(12/18）. All operations were successful. The difference of postoperative aerofluxus time between single-circle group and double-circle group had statistical significance （Plt;0.05）. The difference of postoperative intake time, between triple-circle group and single-circle group, between triple-circle group and double-circle group, had statistical significance （Plt;0.05）. But wound recover time among three groups had no obvious difference （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusion Analyzing neoadjuvant chemotherapy circles, time between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and operation, treatment effect and operation results, it is a feasible and secure colorectal cancer multi-discipinary strategy for patients in West China that choose the treatment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with double-circle and short preparation time.
Objective To explore the consultation model of multi-disciplinary team （MDT） for colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Combined the characteristics of large public hospital, with recognized treatment pathway in international MDT for CRC and a comparison to the traditional consultation, to explore a consultation process model of multi-disciplinary team-working for colorectal cancer of West China Hospital (MDT-CRC-WCH) by own feature. Results Colorectal cancer MDT project team summarized the advantage of the consultation process of MDT-CRC-WCH and the drawback of the traditional consultation, descripted the purpose and characterisctics of MDT consultation by adopting creative whole-mode ideal of MDT-CRC-WCH, and descripted the present implementation of the consultation of MDT-CRC-WCH. Conclusion The consultation process of MDT has appeared distinctive features to the traditional, and it may direct the future evolving of the consultation model, however, advanced research is needed.
Objective To determine the influence and significance of combinative assessment of 64 multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with serum amyloid A protein (SAA) or C-reactive protein (CRP) on the selection of operative procedures of rectal cancer under the multi-disciplinary team. Methods Prospectively enrolled patients diagnosed definitely as rectal cancer at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from February to August 2009 were randomly assigned into two groups. In one group named MSCT+SAA group, both 64 MSCT and SAA combinative assessment were made for the preoperative evaluation. In another group named MSCT+CRP group, both MSCT and CRP combinative assessment were made for preoperative evaluation. Furthermore, the preoperative staging and predicted operation procedures were compared with postoperative pathologic staging and practical operation procedures, respectively, and the relationship between the choice of operation procedures and clinicopathologic factors was analyzed. Results All 165 patients were randomly assigned into MSCT+SAA group (n=83) and MSCT+CRP group (n=82). The baseline characteristics of two groups were statistically similar (Pgt;0.05). For MSCT+SAA group, the accuracies of preoperative staging T, N, M and TNM were 74.7%， 68.7%, 100% and 66.3%, respectively. For MSCT+CRP group, the accuracies of preoperative staging T, N, M and TNM were 72.0%, 86.6%, 100% and 81.7%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the accuracies of N staging and TNM staging between two groups (P＜0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference of the accuracy of prediction to operative procedures between two groups (90.4% vs. 95.1%, Pgt;0.05). The pathological T staging (P＜0.001), N staging (P＜0.001), TNM staging (P＜0.001), preoperative serum level of SAA (P=0.010), serum level of CRP (P=0.042), and distance of tumor to the dentate line (P=0.011) were associated with the operative procedures. Conclusion Combinative assessment of MSCT+CRP could improve the accuracy of preoperative staging and operative procedures prediction, which may be superior to MSCT+SAA.
Objective To explore the intervention effect on colorectal cancer operation by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in multi-disciplinary team. Methods To analyze retrospectively the data of patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2007 to December 2007, and the planned and actual operative strategy were compared between MDT group and non-MDT group. Results According to the inclusion criteria, 251 colorectal cancer patients were included which had 183 rectal cancer and 68 colon cancer. The baseline between MDT group and non-MDT group was equal, and there was no difference of planned operative strategy between two groups. For patients planned undergoing standard ano-saving radical procedure, the ratio of actual procedure same to the planned and the ratio of radical procedure changed to expansive ano-saving radical procedure showed no significant differences between MDT group and non-MDT group (Pgt;0.05), whereas the difference of the ratio of radical procedure changed to local radical procedure between two groups was statistically significant (Plt;0.01). And the constituent ratio of actual procedure between two groups for patients which planned accepted non-ano-saving procedure didn’t have any significant difference (Pgt;0.05). For the cancer focus, the relief differences of complete remission and partial remission were statistically significant between two groups (P＜0.01), but the difference of the constituent ratio of T staging change was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The value of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy should not be limited to decrease the stage of cancer, and it is important to pay more attention to the high quality of combined therapy. Further research should be carried out to find the contribution of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to mini-invasive surgery.
Objective To deeply explore the consultation model of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) for colorectal cancer (CRC) reconstruction. Methods After analyzing early consultation model of CRC-MDT, some unreasonable factors were discovered and more suitable model was found. Results With analyzing the problems of members, time and management in early consultation model, reconstructing consultative joints and links, and optimizing flow-sheet were choosed. Finally, the MDT project was set up inter-project clinical round and network consultation. Conclusion The feedback from patients after consultation model reconstruction shows good results. Total consultative system in CRC-MDT will be completely finished step by step. However, advanced researches are still needed.
ObjectiveTo explore value of multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion in comprehensive downstaging treatment of liver cancer.MethodThe clinical data of 2 patients with liver cancer who could not undergo the radical surgery admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsCase 1 was diagnosed as the liver cancer with extensive double lung metastasis at admission. The clinical stage was stage Ⅲb; After MDT discussion, the patient was treated with chemotherapy and embolization via hepatic artery and bronchial artery; At the same time, the patient was treated with apatinib; At present, the metastasis of both lungs disappeared completely; The clinical stage was stage ⅡB, and the radical resection was proposed. Case 2 was diagnosed as the right liver cancer at admission. The clinical stage was stage Ⅰ b. The preoperative examination showed that the hepatic reserve function was poor and the patient could not tolerate the half hepatectomy; After MDT discussion, the patient was treated with the combination of chemotherapy and embolization via the hepatic artery and apatinib in the same period; At the same time, the patient was treated with liver protection. The clinical stage was reduced to stage Ⅰ a. The hepatic reserve function improved and the laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy was performed, no recurrence or metastasis was found after 3 months follow-up.ConclusionComprehensive downstaging treatment based on MDT model could bring better clinical outcomes for patients with liver cancer who are unable to undergo one-stage radical surgery.
Objective To analyze the primary status of database in multi-disciplinary team （MDT） of colorectal cancer, and to explore the tendency in construction of database in the future. Methods Described the current status of different database respectively, and analyzed the data statistically, involving the patients’ general information, essential information of duration of hospital stay, therapy and MDT from the database of patients. Results The development of different database was uncoordinated. Among the total, the database of patients was advanced, the database of reference and the database of specialists were also developing in certain. Conclusion The primary reason, which results in the lag of construction of database currently, is the long span of database and the cost of much time in data acquisition. The direction of development of database involves consummation of database gradually, refreshment of it promptly, and expanding the research of informatics related clinical medicine.
【 Abstract 】 Objective To discuss incidence of the complications in the rectal cancer patients ’ early postoperative being treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgical intervention. Methods The rectal cancer patients under surgical therapy being diagnosed definitely, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy under multi-disciplinary team (MDT) or without and firstly being discovered from April to October of 2007 were studied. The complication conditions of these patients 1 month after operation were studied and observed, and the differences between MDT group and non-MDT group were compared. Results According to the condition, 189 rectal cancer patients were internalized. Among all the patients, the distance of tumor to the dentate line were lt;3 cm 38 cases, 3 ～ 7 cm 86 cases, ≥ 7 cm 65 cases; pathological stage were Ⅰ stage 5 cases ， Ⅱstage 122 cases， Ⅲstage 50 cases， Ⅳstage 12 cases. There were 181 cases laparotomy, 8 cases laparoscopic operation; 33 cases stoma operation, 156 cases non-stoma operation. The total incidence of postoperative complication was 27.0% （51/189）. Of all, incision bleeding was 1 case, abdominal (deep) bleeding were 4 cases, anastomosis bleeding were 5 cases, pulmonary infection was 1 case, wound infection were 7 cases, urinary tract infection were 3 cases, abdominal (deep) infection was 1 case, unknown fever were 19 cases, superficial layer wound dehiscence was 1 case, wound co-liquation were 15 cases, anastomosis leakage were 3 cases, rectovaginal fistula were 2 cases; intestinal obstruction were 7 cases, urinary retention were 7 cases, stress ulcer were 2 cases. Follow-up in 2-10 months after operation, there was no death case. The baseline between MDT group and non-MDT group was equal. The ratio of postoperative blood transfusion of MDT group was obviously less than that of non-MDT group （P＜0.05）. Moreover, the operation time of MDT group was obviously shorter than that of non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. But the ratio of laparotomy and laparoscopic operation, of stoma operation and non-stoma operation, as well as the types of radical excision operation of rectal cancer didn’t show any statistical difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The postoperative venting time, defecation time, intake time didn’t show any statistical difference between two groups too. But the postoperative out-of-bed activity time and the postoperative in-hospital days of MDT group was obviously shorter than that of non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. In MDT group the postoperative total complication rate was less than non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. Among all the complications, the MDT group had a lower rate of wound infection, wound co-liquation and urinary retention （P＜0.05）. Using multifactorial logistic regression analysis, the risk factor which influenced the postoperative complication rate in MDT group were: postoperative intake time and postoperative hospitalization time. But the risk factor in non-MDT group was only according to postoperative hospitalization time. Conclusion The patients who were treated by MDT, definite operative method combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy or not didn’t increase the postoperative complication rate and risk. So it could be believed that such a composite treatment was feasible and safe in early postoperative stage. But it needs further studies to evaluate the medium- and long-term clinical effect.
