This study aims to evaluate the baseline demographics, clinicopathological characteristics, treatment patterns, survival outcomes, failure patterns, and treatment compliance among rectal cancer patients aged ≤ 40 years. A retrospective analysis was conducted using electronic medical records of YRC patients registered at a tertiary cancer center in Northeast India from January 2020 to December 2022. Of the 214 patients aged ≤ 40 years, 118 with complete clinical data were included. Treatment compliance was assessed, and patients lost to follow-up were contacted telephonically. Those unreachable [<i>n</i> = 4] were excluded from survival analysis. YRC accounted for 26.9% of all rectal cancer cases. Most patients were aged 31-40 years [55.9%], with a male-to-female ratio of 1.8:1. Upfront metastases were seen in 27%, and 31% had poor histological subtypes [signet-ring, mucinous, papillary]. Curative intent therapy was initiated in 70%, but only 44% completed treatment. Non-compliance [39%] was primarily due to disease progression during neoadjuvant therapy. For those completing treatment, median PFS was 46.6 months and median OS was 53.6 months. Palliative therapy yielded a median OS of 11.6 months. The incidence of YRC in our region is notably higher than global estimates. High rates of non-compliance and poor histology underscore the urgent need for resource-adapted, age-specific treatment guidelines and prospective studies focused on this younger population.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s13193-025-02518-y.</p>","PeriodicalId":46707,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology","volume":"17 9","pages":"2143-2150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13620099/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149082359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography offers real-time perfusion assessment, potentially reducing AL compared to conventional methods. This meta-analysis evaluates ICG's efficacy in reducing AL after esophagectomy with gastric pull-up, focusing on cervical versus intrathoracic anastomoses. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search of PubMed and Google Scholar from 2005 to the present was performed using MeSH terms to identify comparative studies of esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction. Study quality was evaluated using the MINORS criteria. Statistical analyses included forest plots, random-effects models, leave-one-out sensitivity analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) to assess robustness. Harbord's test evaluated publication bias of binary outcomes. Fifteen studies (2,263 patients) were included. Overall, ICG significantly reduced odds of AL by 58% (9% vs. 15.5%; OR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.26-0.70; I²=42%), with an absolute risk difference (ARD) of 6.5% (95% CI: 3.3-9.7) and a number needed to treat (NNT) of 15 (10-30). In McKeown esophagectomy (MKE) with cervical anastomosis (10 studies, 1,768 patients), ICG reduced odds of AL by 62% (9.5% vs. 17.0%; OR 0.38, 95% CI: 0.26-0.57; I²=0%), corresponding to an ARD of 7.5% (95% CI: 4.8-10.2) and NNT of 13 (10-21), with TSA and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis confirming robust evidence. In contrast, in Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (ILE) with intrathoracic anastomosis (3 studies, 302 patients), ICG showed no benefit (8.0% vs. 6.9%; OR 1.70, 95% CI: 0.12-25.01; I²=70.6%), with an ARD of - 1.1% (95% CI: -8.0 to + 5.8). ICG fluorescence angiography significantly reduces AL after esophagectomy, particularly in cervical anastomosis after MKE, with a 62% odds reduction.
