Abstract
Current recommendation is to perform re-resection for select patients with incidentally-discovered gallbladder cancer (IGBC), based on T-stage alone. Residual disease at re-resection, however, is the most important factor in predicting outcomes, and the optimal time-interval to re-resection is not known. Furthermore, current data on the utility of port-site resection during re-resection in the US are conflicting and limited to single-institution series. The purpose of this study was to utilize a large, U.S.-based, multi-institutional database to: 1) develop an association model to estimate the risk of finding locoregional residual (LRD) and/or distant disease (DD) at the time of re-resection, and to estimate survival in patients with IGBC; 2) assess the association between time-interval from initial cholecystectomy to reoperation with overall survival (OS) and identify a time-interval that yields the best overall survival; and 3) compare practice patterns of port-site management over time and assess the association of port-site resection with OS. All patients with IGBC who underwent reoperation at 10 institutions from 2000-2015 were evaluated by retrospective chart review (n=266). Advanced T-stage, grade, lymphovascular and perineural invasion were associated with increased LRD and DD, and decreased OS. Each characteristic was assigned a value, which added to a total score from 3-10, and were separated into 3 risk-groups (Low:3-4; Intermediate:5-7; High:8-10). Each progressive group was associated with increased incidence of LRD and DD, and reduced OS. Patients underwent re-operation at 3 different time-intervals: Group A:<4wks; B: 4-8wks; C: >8wks. Patients who underwent reoperation between 4-8 weeks had the longest median OS compared to those who underwent early or late reoperation. Group A (HR 2.63) and Group C (HR 2.07) time-intervals (vs Group B) were associated with decreased OS on multivariable Cox regression analysis. The rate of port-site resection remained similar over time. On multivariable Cox regression, port-site resection was not associated with improved OS. In conclusion, by accounting for variations within each T-stage, the proposed risk score better stratifies patients with IGBC. Between 4 and 8 weeks appears to be the optimal time-interval to reoperation. Port-site resection is not independently associated with improved survival, and is not routinely recommended.
