Comparison of the Peritoneal Cancer Index and Dutch region count as tools to stage patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal cancer

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1153-1161, December 2020., 2020
This retrospective study compared two classification tools, the Dutch region count and the Peritoneal Cancer Index, for colorectal peritoneal metastases, and validated the results in a separate cohort. The region count was easier to apply, and may benefit doctors who refer patients to expert centres.

Tumour growth rate of carcinoma of the colon and rectum: retrospective cohort study

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1200-1207, December 2020., 2020
Few studies have evaluated the growth pattern of colorectal cancer. Forty‐three patients who underwent CT twice more than 5 weeks apart were included over a 2‐year interval. The median doubling time was 211 days, with a concerning suggestion of tumour progression.

Impact of extent of disease on 1‐year healthcare costs in patients who undergo cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal peritoneal metastases: retrospective observational cohort study

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 954-962, October 2020., 2020
Well selected patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases can be treated with curative intent by cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Treatment‐related healthcare costs are significantly increased among patients with extensive peritoneal disease, although the associated survival gain is limited.

Impact on postoperative complications of changes in skeletal muscle mass during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastro‐oesophageal cancer

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 847-854, October 2020., 2020
Deconditioning during neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a possible parameter for predicting operative outcomes. This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess body composition changes in patients with gastro‐oesophageal cancer during neoadjuvant therapy and investigate their association with postoperative complications. Skeletal muscle index values decrease

Effects of high‐intensity exercise training on physical fitness, quality of life and treatment outcomes after oesophagectomy for cancer of the gastro‐oesophageal junction: PRESET pilot study

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 855-864, October 2020., 2020
With concurrent aerobic exercise and resistance training twice a week during treatment, patients with cancer of the gastro‐oesophageal junction can return cardiopulmonary fitness and muscle strength to pretreatment levels at completion of treatment.

Propensity score regression analysis of oesophageal adenocarcinoma treatment with surgery alone or neoadjuvant chemotherapy

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 593-600, August 2020., 2020
Following propensity adjustment for stage, age and sex, neoadjuvant therapy was not associated with survival. Tumour regression is a powerful prognostic indicator, and future research should focus on identifying patients who will derive the most benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Long‐term outcomes after perioperative treatment with omega‐3 fatty acid supplements in colorectal cancer

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 678-684, August 2020., 2020
Perioperative treatment with omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3 FA) does not confer an overall survival benefit in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, and neither is it associated with an increased efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy. Clinicians should be careful when making any recommendations regarding the use of n‐3 FA oral nutritional supplements ...
