    Abstract: The results of only a few endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) have been published, and the safety of the procedure has never been investigated. Our study compared the recurrence rate in patients with and without preoperative EUS-FNA. Methods This European multicenter registry-based study was conducted in 22 digestive units, and retrospectively included all patients who underwent complete resection of a pancreatic SPN from 2000 to 2018. Patients with and without initial EUS-FNA were compared, and postsurgery recurrence and the associated risk factors were evaluated. Results A complete resection of a pancreatic SPN was performed in 149 patients (133 women, 89%), with a mean age of 34 (standard deviation, 14) years. There were no significant differences between the with (78 patients) and without (71 patients) EUS-FNA groups, except for age and tumor size and location. Preoperative EUS-FNA allowed pancreatic SPN diagnosis in 63/78 cases (81%). After a mean follow-up of 43 (standard deviation, 36) months, recurrence was noted in 4 patients (2.7%). Preoperative EUS-FNA was not correlated with recurrence, but an older age ( P = 0.005) was significant. Conclusions Preoperative EUS-FNA does not affect pancreatic SPN recurrence. In this series, old age was significantly correlated with recurrence.

    Abstract: Our objective was to describe the etiologies of acute colitis and to identify patients who require diagnostic endoscopy. Patients with symptoms of gastrointestinal infection and colonic inflammation on CT were prospectively included. Those immunosuppressed, with history of colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), were excluded. Microbiological analysis of the feces was performed using PCR assays BD-Max and FilmArray (GI panel,) and fecal cultures. Fecal calprotectin was determined. Patients with negative BD-Max underwent colonoscopy. One hundred and seventy-nine patients were included. BD-Max was positive in 93 patients (52%) and FilmArray in 108 patients (60.3%). Patients with infectious colitis (n = 103, 57.5%) were positive for Campylobacter spp. (n = 57, 55.3%), Escherichia coli spp. (n = 8, 7.8%), Clostridioides difficile (n = 23, 22.3%), Salmonella spp. (n = 9, 8.7%), viruses (n = 7, 6.8%), Shigella spp. (n = 6, 5.8%), Entamoeba histolytica (n = 2, 1.9%) and others (n = 4, 3.9%). Eighty-six patients underwent colonoscopy, which was compatible with ischemic colitis in 18 patients (10.1%) and IBD in 4 patients (2.2%). Fecal calprotectin was elevated in all patients, with a mean concentration of 1922.1 ± 2895.6 μg/g, and was the highest in patients with IBD (8511 ± 9438 μg/g, p   〈  0.001). After exclusion of patients with infectious etiology, a fecal calprotectin  〉  625 μg/g allowed identifying patients with IBD with an area under ROC curve of 85.1%. To conclude, computed tomography-proven colitis was of infectious etiology in 57.5% of patients. The main pathogens identified were Campylobacter spp. (55.3%), Clostridioides difficile (22.3%) and Salmonella spp. (8.7%). Ischemic colitis (10.1%) and IBD (2.2%) were seldom represented. No colorectal cancer was found.

    Abstract: TPS272 Background: Locally advanced rectal cancer remains a clinical challenge with few improvements noted over the past few decades. Although immunotherapy has no current clinical role in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer, preclinical models suggest that radiotherapy (RT) can enhance neoantigen presentation, modulate the microenvironment, and improve the likelihood of anti-tumor activity with checkpoint inhibitors use. This prospective phase II trial will test that hypothesis in addition to confirming safety of this approach using a “window-of-opportunity” study design with the anti-PD-1 agent Pembrolizumab. Methods: This monocentric phase II trial, will enroll patients (pts) with rectal cancer who are undergoing neoadjuvant short course RT (scRT) (25 Gy in 5 fractions). according to the standard of care. Eligible includes pts with MSS stage II-III rectal cancer with adequate organ function and availability of pre-treatment tumor, who are undergoing scRT with intention to proceed to surgical resection. Standard ineligibility criteria include active infections, systemic steroid use, or other conditions making immunotherapy use unsafe. Treatment includes 4 doses of Pembrolizumab (200mg IV, once every 3 wks), the first dose being given before the first scRT fraction. Surgery will be performed within 12-16 weeks of the final scRT dose. Primary endpoint is tumor regression grade (TRG) using the Mandard regression grade score targeting a 30% pathological complete response (pCR) compared to 10% in historical controls. Secondary endpoints include OS, DFS, toxicity, local and distant relapse-free survival, negative surgical margins, QoL, quality of surgery and exploratory assessments of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, profiling of circulating immune cell populations, and molecular predictors of response. A safety stopping rule is planned based on Wald’s sequential probability ratio test for the occurrence of the safety outcome. Enrollment target is 25 pts. Support: MSD. Clinical trial information: NCT04109755 .

    Abstract: Despite international guidelines recommendations to use mortality as a quality criterion for gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, recent studies reporting these data are lacking. Our objective was to report death causes and rate following GI endoscopies in a tertiary university hospital. Design We retrospectively reviewed all GI procedures made between January 2017 and December 2019 in our tertiary hospital in Switzerland. Data from patients who died within 30 days of the procedure were recorded. Results Of 18 233 procedures, 251 patients died within 30 days following 345 (1.89%) procedures (244/9180 gastroscopies, 53/5826 colonoscopies, 23/2119 endoscopic ultrasound, 19/911 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, 6/197 percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomies). Median age was 70 years (IQR 61–79) and 173/251 (68.92%) were male. Median Charlson Comorbidity Index was 5 (IQR 3–7), and 305/345 procedures (88.4%) were undertaken on patients with an ASA score ≥3. Most frequent indications were suspected GI bleeding (162/345; 46.96%) and suspected cancer or tumourous staging (50/345; 14.49%). Major causes of death were oncological progression (72/251; 28.68%), cardiopulmonary failure or cardiac arrest of unkown origin (62/251; 24,7%) and liver failure (20/251; 7.96%). No deaths were caused by complications such as perforation or bleeding. Conclusions Progression of malignancies unrelated to the procedure was the leading cause of short-term death following a GI procedure. After improvements in periprocedural care in the last decades, we should focus on patient selection in this era of new oncological and intensive care therapies. Death rate as a quality criterion is subject to caution as it depends on indication, setting and risk benefit ratio.

    Abstract: Reshaping the tumor microenvironment by novel immunotherapies represents a key strategy to improve cancer treatment. Nevertheless, responsiveness to these treatments is often correlated with the extent of T cell infiltration at the tumor site. Remarkably, microsatellite stable rectal cancer is characterized by poor T cell infiltration and, therefore, does not respond to immune checkpoint blockade. To date, the only available curative option for these patients relies on extensive surgery. With the aim to broaden the application of promising immunotherapies, it is necessary to develop alternative approaches to promote T cell infiltration into the tumor microenvironment of these tumors. In this regard, recent evidence shows that radiotherapy has profound immunostimulatory effects, hinting at the possibility of combining it with immunotherapy. The combination of long-course chemoradiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibition was recently shown to be safe and yielded promising results in rectal cancer, however short-course radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibition have never been tested in these tumors. Methods Our clinical trial investigates the clinical and biological impact of combining pembrolizumab with short-course radiotherapy in the neo-adjuvant treatment of localized rectal cancer. This phase II non-randomized study will recruit 25 patients who will receive short-course preoperative radiotherapy (5 Gy × 5 days) and four injections of pembrolizumab starting on the same day and on weeks 4, 7 and 10. Radical surgery will be performed three weeks after the last pembrolizumab injection. Our clinical trial includes an extensive translational research program involving the transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of tumor and blood samples throughout the course of the treatment. Discussion Our study is the first clinical trial to combine short-course radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibition in rectal cancer, which could potentially result in a major breakthrough in the treatment of this cancer. Additionally, the translational research program will offer insights into immunological changes within the tumor and blood and their correlation with patient outcome. Taken together, our work will help optimizing future treatment combinations and, possibly, better selecting patients.

    Abstract: Duodenal defects are complex clinical situations, and their management is challenging and associated with high mortality. Besides surgery, endoscopic treatment options exist, but the size and location of the perforation can limit their application. We present a retrospective study, demonstrating a successful application of endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) for duodenal leaks. Methods We performed a retrospective study of all patients who underwent EVT for duodenal perforations between 2016 and 2021 at two tertiary centers. We analyzed demographic and clinical patient characteristics, surgical outcomes, leak characteristics, sponge-related complications, and success rate. Results Indications for treatment with EVT in the duodenum consisted of leak after duodenal suture of a perforated ulcer ( n  = 4), iatrogenic perforation after endoscopic resection ( n  = 2), iatrogenic perforation during surgery ( n  = 2), and anastomotic leak after upper gastrointestinal surgery ( n  = 2). EVT was used as a first-line treatment in seven patients and as a second-line treatment in three patients. EVT was successfully applied in all interventions ( n  = 10, 100%). Overall, EVT lead to definitive closure of the defects in eight out of ten patients (80%). No severe EVT-related adverse events occurred. Conclusion EVT is safe and technically feasible, so it emerges as a promising endoscopic treatment option for duodenal leaks. However, multidisciplinary collaboration and management are important to reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, and to improve recovery rates.
