Background: Clinical cancer registries are intended to reflect the reality of care through differentiated data analysis and, if necessary, to offer approaches for improving care. Methods: For the years 2000–2018, the data of the Clinical Epidemiological Cancer Registry Brandenburg-Berlin were examined separately for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma with respect to epidemiology and health care reality. Results: Between 2000 and 2018 a total of 3207 esophageal cancers were documented in the cancer registry, of which 2182 were squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC), 843 adenocarcinomas (EAC) and 182 various others or missing histology. During the observation period there was a clear dominance of ESCC but with a significant increase in EAC in both sexes. Overall, the rate of new cases was 5 times higher for men than for women. The relative 5‑year survival probability of all esophageal cancers was 17.4% in men and 22.5% in women. Patients with EAC survived significantly longer than those with ESCC. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy, individually or in combination, were mainly used as treatment methods. Surgery was performed on 19% of ESCC and 42% of EAC. Conclusion: The proportion of ESCC in Brandenburg is still significantly higher than EAC, with a significant increase for the latter, especially in men. Although locally advanced tumors have been significantly more common, modern neoadjuvant concepts have rarely been documented, and although the quality of the surgery is comparable to the international standard, surgery is carried out in relatively few patients.

Despite the increasing incidence, anal cancer is still a rare gastrointestinal tumor, so that due to the broadness of the primary care there is often little experience in the care of affected patients. Squamous cell cancer (SCC) constitutes more than 90% of all anal cancers and is nearly always associated with an infection by the human papillomavirus. This article concentrates on SCC of the anal canal and anal margin. The focus is on the primary diagnostics, surgical treatment, response assessment and aftercare. Treatment is carried out according to the decision of the interdisciplinary tumor board, independent of the tumor location and stage. Anal margin cancer in stage I (and IIa) can be successfully treated by an R0 excision. Combined chemoradiotherapy as the standard treatment in stages II and III is briefly summarized. The article is essentially based on the new German S3 guidelines on anal cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic imposed limitations for elective surgery, impacting the associated hospital standards worldwide. As certain treatment windows must be adhered to in oncological surgery, the limited intensive care unit (ICU) capacity had to be critically distributed in order to do justice to both acutely ill and oncology patients. This manuscript summarizes the impact of COVID-19 on the management of oncological surgery of the upper gastrointestinal tract and particularly esophageal surgery in German medical centers. Material and methods: A survey of German centers for esophageal surgery was performed on the impact of COVID-19 on operative management for esophageal surgery during the first lockdown. After inspection, assessment, critical analysis and interpretation, the results were compared to the international literature. Results and discussion: Initial recommendations of international societies warned for caution and restraint regarding interventions of the upper gastrointestinal tract that were not absolutely necessary. Oncological surgery should be performed under strict restrictions, especially only after negative testing for COVID-19 and only with sufficiently available personal protective equipment for the personnel. Furthermore, minimally invasive procedures were preferably not recommended. In diseases with alternative treatment options, such as definitive chemoradiotherapy of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, these should be given priority when possible. In the further development of the pandemic, it was shown that due to a high standardization of preoperative management, postoperative results comparable to pre-pandemic times could be achieved particularly with respect to the diagnostics of infections.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common tumor of the eye and adnexa in the horse and more frequently found in these days. Ultraviolet light exposure has increased during the last years, which is believed to be the reason for the high prevalence of ocular SCC. An older age, a lack of periocular pigment and a genetic predisposition are further factors for tumor growth. The appearance of SCC varies with its location. Limbal SCC is raised, cauliflower-like and light pink. When the tumor invades the corneal stroma, it may be mistaken for keratitis. A typical limbal or third eylid SCC is easily diagnosed with a usual eye exam. However, a histopathology is strongly recommended. The standard for tumor treatment is complete surgical removal of the abnormal tissue. Generally, excision alone is not sufficient and ancillary therapy is inevitable to avoid tumor recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate the potentials of mitomycin C (MMC), a antineoplastic antibiotic, in the management of ocular surface neoplasia. The records of 110 horses presented to our hospital with periocular SCC were analysed. 22 horses were excluded from the study because of advanced tumors, which required enucleation or euthanasia. 48 of the remaining 88 horses were treated with topical MMC (0,04%, eye drops, eight times daily for one week), starting immediately after surgery. The second group included 40 horses, which had no further antineoplastic treatment after surgery. In this group (no MMC) eight horses showed tumor recurrence and needed removal of the globe as well as some of the adjacent tissues (20%). Only two horses (5%) needed enucleation in the first group (with MMC). Four more horses showed new tumor growth, but were successfully treated with the same protocol. Complications after surgery were rare, five horses developped some hypergranulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
