5 Pancreas-directed therapies Common Indications Pancreas cancer Mucinous cystic neoplasm IPMN Islet-cell tumors Biliary obstruction Therapies at RPCI Whipple procedure Open and laparoscopic partial pancreatectomy Neoadjuvant CRT Clinical trials for advanced disease Systemic therapy Palliative care

6 Pancreatic Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) Estimated 45,000 cases diagnosed and 38,460 deaths (US) 2500 deaths in New York (est.) 85-90% present with non-resectable disease (local or metastatic) Siegel Ca Statistics 2013

7 Clinical Staging Stage Description Presentation Median Survival I - IIB Resectable 10-20% mos. Borderline Mesenteric Vessel abutment/impingement 10-15%? III Locally Advanced 30-40% 8-18 mos. IV Metastatic 40-50% 6-9 mos.

10 National Failure to Operate on Early Stage Pancreatic Cancer Nihilistic Attitude, Mortality from PD in 1960 was 25% 35.7% 21.8% Cited risk factors: 1. Advanced age 2. Black race 3. Lower income 4. Institution bias (non-nccn/nci) Bilimoria Ann Surg 2007

12 Borderline Resectable SMV & PV abutment Not a contraindication to surgical resection but higher than acceptable risk of R1 resection

13 Uncinate or Body/Tail Location and Node Ratio Predict Margin Positivity and Poor Outcome in Resected Pancreas Cancer B Kuvshinoff, S Ashraf, C Andrews, J Gibbs, and M Javle Department of Surgical Oncology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York Overall Survival vs Margin Positivity Probability of Survival Negative margin HR 1.9 Margin Positivity Negative Positive p<0.002 Positive margin Time (Months)

14 Use of Neoadjuvant CRT for Borderline Resectable Pancreas Cancer! Gemcitabine cgy in 25 fractions of 180 cgy to primary/regional lymphatics Additional 900 cgy in 5 fractions of 180 cgy to primary! Pancreaticoduodenctomy with partial SMV resection! Path T3N1aM0 Poorly Differentiated AdenoCA (1/35 LN, neg margins)

15 Preoperative (Neoadjuvant) Therapy: Putative Benefits Higher proportion of patients will receive adjuvant therapy Potential downsizing tumors to increase liklihood of a margin-negative resection Patient selection to exclude those with progressive, metastatic disease who will not benefit from surgery Treatment of micrometastatic disease earlier

32 NCCN Guidelines Surgical Principles Colorectal Cancer Liver 1. Hepatic resection treatment of choice Complete resection with maintenance of normal hepatic function No unresectable extrahepatic disease 2. Re-evaluate for resection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy 3. Ablation acceptable for unresectable or high risk patients

35 Laparoscopic Liver Resection Extraction or hand-assist

36 Laparoscopic Liver Resection

37 Radiofrequency Ablation

38 Methods of Ablation Percutaneous Laparoscopy Open Surgery

39 Laparoscopic RFA Multifocal Colorectal Cancer

40 Radiofrequency Ablation for HCC Case History 78 yo gentleman with hepatitis C cirrhosis (Child s B) Single lesion 4.5 x 3 cm Not candidate for resection or transplant

41 Radiofrequency Ablation for HCC Pre-treatment Post-ablation

42 Microwave Ablation

43 Microwave Tissue heated from friction of spinning water molecules! Faster than RFA No grounding pads Multiple tumors can be ablated simultaneously Less heat sink Microwave ablation of liver tumors

44 Microwave Ablation: Colorectal Liver Metastases Pre-treatment: S/P left hepatectomy, chemotherapy Post-treatment: Laparoscopic MW ablation

45 Non-thermal Ablation of Liver and Pancreatic Tumors: NanoKnife IRE

46 NanoKnife IRE System High Voltage (2-3 kv) pulses open pores in tumor cell membranes, cells swell and die Can ablate tumors near critical structures such as bile ducts, blood vessels, even nerves Mimics natural cell death so ablated tissue resorbed within weeks Less inflammation and pain No heat sink Has been used for locally advanced pancreatic cancers
