Treatment outcomes of non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection for superficial gastric neoplasia: A retrospective study at a tertiary care center in the United States. DEN OPEN 2025; 5:e70034. [PMID: 39524150 PMCID: PMC11547226 DOI: 10.1002/deo2.70034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2024] [Revised: 10/17/2024] [Accepted: 10/21/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024]
Abstract
Objectives Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer; additional treatment may be recommended for patients in whom resection is not curative per the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines. The aim of this study was to assess treatment outcomes of ESD for gastric neoplasia, with a focus on cases of non-curative resection. Methods This was a retrospective study of all individuals undergoing ESD for the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma or dysplasia in a high-volume tertiary care center in the United States. Data on patient demographic characteristics, clinical history, lesion characteristics, and procedural and clinical outcomes were collected from the electronic medical record. Results Among 82 cases undergoing ESD for the management of gastric neoplasia, 32 cases resulted in non-curative resection. 20 of these non-curative cases did not get additional treatment, among which recurrence occurred in two cases with positive horizontal margins only. These patients did not show lymph node metastasis and underwent further endoscopic or surgical resection. There was no recurrence in 11 cases with undifferentiated carcinomas of ≤2 cm in size. Conclusions Although this study was limited by its retrospective design, small sample size, and follow-up duration, our findings suggest that a risk-adapted strategy could be employed for certain patients undergoing non-curative ESD per American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines, with close follow-up instead of routine surgery in select cases with favorable features. Further studies are needed to refine the criteria for additional treatment after non-curative ESD in Western populations.

Surgical outcomes and long-term survival of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy at high-volume centers in Korea and China: a two-centered retrospective analysis. Surg Today 2025; 55:52-61. [PMID: 39562355 PMCID: PMC11717828 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-024-02931-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 11/21/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is now widely used in East Asia and worldwide with different preferences and outcomes. This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes and preferences between two high-volume gastric cancer centers in Korea and China. METHODS Patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) for gastric cancer from Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) and the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (NMUH) from 2017 to 2020 were enrolled in this study. RESULTS A total of 1166 SNUH cases and 847 NMUH cases enrolled in this study. The overall complication rate of SNUH (14.49%) did not differ from that of NMUH after LADG or TLDG (12.28%). The anastomosis-related complications rate (2.74%) did not show a significant difference with that of NMUH (2.01%) either. The median postoperative hospital stay for SNUH (7,(7,10)) was shorter than that for NMUH (8,(7,9)). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of SNUH was not significantly different from that of NMUH. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in the overall complication rate, anastomosis-related complication rate, resected lymph nodes, and 5- year overall survival rate between SNUH and NMUH except for the postoperative stay. Both the LADG and TLDG achieved satisfactory short- and long-term outcomes when performed by surgeons with adequate experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether the Western pT1acN0M0 gastric cancer (GC) patients who met the Japanese expanded criteria could be the candidates for endoscopic treatment (ET) remains unclear because of unknown long-term survival outcomes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program was performed. The survival differences between pT1acN0M0 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who received ET or gastrectomy treatment (GT) were evaluated using multivariate survival analysis. RESULTS A total of 314 pT1acN0M0 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who met the expanded criteria were included, 46 patients received ET and 268 patients received GT. pT1acN0M0 gastric adenocarcinoma patients met the expanded criteria underwent ET experienced a similar hazard of cancer-specific death compared with those underwent GT both in the multivariate Cox survival analysis (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]; 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.40-3.49; P = 0.766) and the multivariate competing risk model (subdistribution HR [SHR], 1.12, 95% CI 0.38-3.29; P = 0.845). The result that pT1acN0M0 gastric adenocarcinoma patients met the expanded criteria underwent ET experienced comparable survival outcomes to those who underwent GT did not change even compared with those who underwent GT with > 15 lymph nodes examined (adjusted HR, 1.55, 95% CI 0.44-5.49; P = 0.499; SHR, 1.47, 95% CI 0.44-4.88; P = 0.532). CONCLUSIONS The ET can be considered in Western pT1acN0M0 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who met the Japanese expanded criteria. However, a prospective study should be warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic resection (ER) of early gastric cancer (EGC) is increasingly used in Eastern countries due to their low rates of lymph node metastasis (LNM); however, there is a paucity of evidence in Western countries. We investigated LNM and its effect on overall survival (OS) in Western patients with EGC. METHODS Patients diagnosed with T1 gastric cancer between 2000 and 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. Univariate Kaplan-Meier, multivariate logistic and Cox-regression models were used to assess the associations between clinical characteristics, LNM, and OS. RESULTS Among 86 patients, median age was 68 years and 72% were male. Node positivity was 30%. Two percent of patients met the classical guidelines for ER and all were node-negative, while 16% met expanded criteria of which 14% were node-positive. T1b disease (odds ratio [OR] 41.2 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62-1048], p = 0.02) and lymphovascular/perineural invasion (OR 18.0 [95% CI 2.41-134], p = 0.01) were predictive of node positivity. The 5-year OS for node-negative and node-positive patients was 84% and 53% (p = 0.004), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The risk of LNM in Western patients with EGC is higher; therefore, generalizability of the expanded criteria for ER should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection (ER) is widely performed for early gastric cancer (EGC) with a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in Eastern Asian countries. In particular, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) leads to a high en bloc resection rate, enabling accurate pathological evaluation. As undifferentiated EGC (UD-EGC) is known to result in a higher incidence of LNM and infiltrative growth than differentiated EGC (D-EGC), the indications for ER are limited compared with those for D-EGC. Previously, clinical staging as intramucosal UD-EGC ≤2 cm, without ulceration, was presented as 'weakly recommended' or 'expanded indications' for ER in the guidelines of the United States, Europe, Korea, and Japan. Based on promising long-term outcomes from a prospective multicenter study by the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) 1009/1010, the status of this indication has expanded and is now considered 'absolute indications' in the latest Japanese guidelines published in 2021. In this study, which comprised 275 patients with UD-EGC (cT1a, ≤2 cm, without ulceration) treated with ESD, the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 99.3% (95% confidence interval, 97.1%-99.8%), which was higher than the threshold 5-year OS (89.9%). Currently, the levels of evidence grades and recommendations for ER of UD-EGC differ among Japan, Korea, and Western countries. Therefore, a further discussion is warranted to generalize the indications for ER of UD-EGC in countries besides Japan.

Prevalence of nodal metastases in the individual lymph node stations for different T-stages in gastric cancer: a systematic review. Updates Surg 2023; 75:281-290. [PMID: 35962278 PMCID: PMC9852106 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-022-01347-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is the cornerstone of curative treatment of gastric cancer. Extent of lymphadenectomy may differ depending on T-stage, as the rate of lymph node metastases may differ. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate and compare the prevalence of nodal metastases in the individual lymph node stations between different T-stages. METHODS Data reporting and structure of this systematic review follows the PRISMA checklist. The Medline and PubMed databases were systematically searched. The search included the following Mesh terms: "Stomach Neoplasms", "Lymphatic Metastasis" and "Lymph Node Excision". The primary outcome was the highest prevalence of nodal metastases per T-stage. RESULTS The initial search resulted in 175 eligible articles. Five articles met the inclusion criteria and were accordingly analyzed. Concerning the lymph node stations 1 to 7, the lymph nodes along the lesser gastric curvature (station 3) show the highest metastases rate (T1: 5.5%, T2: 21.9%, T3: 41.9%, T4: 71.0%). Concerning the lymph node stations 8 to 20, the lymph nodes around the common hepatic artery (station 8) show the highest metastases rate (T1: 0.8%, T2: 7.9%, T3: 14.0%, T4: 28.2%). CONCLUSION An overall low prevalence of nodal metastases in the individual lymph node stations in early, T1 gastric carcinomas and an overall high prevalence in more advanced, T3 and T4 gastric carcinomas endorse a more tailored approach based on the different gastric T-stages. In addition, a less extensive lymphadenectomy seems justified in early T1 carcinoma. SYNOPSIS This systematic review provides an overview of the prevalence of nodal metastases for the individual lymph node stations between different T-stages, showing an overall low prevalence in early, T1 gastric carcinomas and an overall high prevalence in the more advanced, T3 and T4 gastric carcinomas.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is considered to be one of the important factors in determining the optimal treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC). This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to predict LNM in patients with EGC. A total of 842 cases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were divided into training and testing sets with a ratio of 6 : 4 for model development. Clinical data (494 patients) from the hospital were used for external validation. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictors using the training set. Logistic regression, LASSO regression, ridge regression, and elastic-net regression methods were used to construct the model. The performance of the model was quantified by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results showed that T stage, tumor size, and tumor grade were independent predictors of LNM in EGC patients. The AUC of the logistic regression model was 0.766 (95% CI, 0.709-0.823), which was slightly higher than that of the other models. However, the AUC of the logistic regression model in external validation was 0.625 (95% CI, 0.537-0.678). A nomogram was drawn to predict LNM in EGC patients based on the logistic regression model. Further validation based on gender, age, and grade indicated that the logistic regression predictive model had good adaptability to the population with grade III tumors, with an AUC of 0.803 (95% CI, 0.606-0.999). Our nomogram showed a good predictive ability and may provide a tool for clinicians to predict LNM in EGC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Current guidelines recommend consideration of endoscopic therapy (ET) when treating selected early gastric cancers. However, clinical decision-making on ET versus gastrectomy for early adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEGJ) remains challenging because of uncertain long-term outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2004 to 2017 of early AEGJ patients underwent ET or gastrectomy. Multivariate models were used to compare cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS Of 881 included early AEGJ patients, 227 (36.2%) patients underwent ET and 654 (63.8%) patients underwent gastrectomy. Early AEGJ patients who underwent ET experienced a similar hazard of cancer-specific death compared with those underwent gastrectomy in both multivariate Cox regression (HR [hazard ratio], 0.93; 95% CI [confidence interval], 0.55-1.56; P = 0.78) and the multivariate competing risk model (subdistribution HR [SHR], 0.86; 95% CI 0.50-1.45; P = 0.56). Propensity score matching was used, 210 patients underwent ET were matched with 210 patients underwent gastrectomy. Patients underwent ET experienced a similar hazard of cancer-specific death compared with those underwent gastrectomy in both multivariate Cox regression (HR, 0.97; 95% CI 0.53-1.77; P = 0.92) and the multivariate competing risk model (SHR, 0.96; 95% CI 0.52-1.77; P = 0.89). CONCLUSION Early AEGJ patients who received ET or gastrectomy had comparable long-term outcomes, which lend support to the role of ET in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The authors aimed to create a novel model to predict lymphatic metastasis in thymic epithelial tumors. METHODS Data of 1018 patients were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2004 to 2015. To construct a nomogram, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to select candidate features of the training cohort from 2004 to 2013. A simple model called the Lymphatic Node Metastasis Risk Scoring System (LNMRS) was constructed to predict lymphatic metastasis. Using patients from 2014 to 2015 as the validation cohort, the predictive performance of the model was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS The LASSO regression model showed that age, extension, and histology type were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, which were used to construct the nomogram. Through analysis of the area under the curve (AUC), the nomogram achieved a AUC value of 0.80 (95 % confidence interval [Cl] 0.75-0.85) in the training cohort and 0.82 (95 % Cl 0.70-0.93) in the validation cohort, and had closed calibration curves. Based on the nomogram, the authors constructed the LNMRS model, which had an AUC of 0.80 (95 % Cl 0.75-0.85) in the training cohort and 0.82 (95% Cl 0.70-0.93) in the validation cohort. The ROC curves indicated that the LNMRS had excellent predictive performance for lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION This study established a nomogram for predicting lymph node metastasis. The LNMRS model, constructed to predict lymphatic involvement of patients, was more convenient than the nomogram.

[PMID: 34837993 PMCID: PMC8627613 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-09008-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Lymph node metastasis (LNM) status is an important prognostic factor that strongly influences the treatment decision of early gastric cancer (EGC). This study aimed to evaluate the pattern and clinical significance of LNM in EGC. Methods A total of 354 patients with carcinoma in situ (n = 42), EGC (n = 312) who underwent radical gastrectomy were enrolled. Their clinicopathological features, pathological reports, and prognostic data were collected and analyzed. Results The incidence of LNM in all patients was 18.36% (65/354). The rates of D1 and D2 station metastases were 12.10% (43/354) and 6.21% (22/354), respectively. The rates of LNM in absolute indication of endoscopic resection and expanded indication were 3.27% (2/61) and 28.55% (4/14), respectively. Skip LNM was observed in 3.67% (13/354) of patients. For those with middle-third tumor, the metastasis rate of the No. 5 lymph node was 3.05% (5/164). The independent risk factors for LNM were tumors measuring > 30 mm, poorly differentiated tumors, and lymphovascular invasion (all P < 0.05; area under the curve, 0.783). The 5-year disease-free survival rates of patients with and without LNM were 96.26 and 79.17%, respectively (P = 0.011). Tumors measuring > 20 mm and LNM were independent predictive factors for poor survival outcome in all patients. Conclusions Patients with EGC conforming to expanded indications have a relatively high risk of LNM and may not be suitable for endoscopic submucosal dissection. Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy for patients with middle-third EGC remains controversial due to the high metastasis rate of the No. 5 lymph node.

Abstract
Background and study aims The aim of the study was to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) in China because no study has yet been conducted to confirm its effectiveness in EGC in China. Patients and methods A total of 570 EGC samples from 537 patients were collected for evaluation of en bloc, complete, and curative resection using ESD. Data from 302 patients with at least 3 years of active follow-up were collected for analysis of recurrence of EGC and occurrence of metachronous GC (MGC). Short- and long-outcomes of mixed-type and pure differentiated EGC were also compared. Results En bloc resection rates of 96.0 %, 98.7 %, and 95.2 %, complete resection rates of 91.2 %, 96.6 % and 90.8 %, and curative resection rates of 83.0 %, 96.2 % and 88.2 % were achieved in all EGCs included in the study, those with absolute indication, and those with expanded indication, respectively. As a long-term outcome, recurrence was observed in 1.3 % of patients, 3-year and 5-year recurrence rates being 0.7 % and 1.2 %, respectively. Thirteen patients (4.3 %) exhibited MGCs during follow-up, all of which were resected in a second ESD. Conclusions The effectiveness of ESD for EGC in China was confirmed, with satisfactory short- and long-term outcomes. With scheduled follow-up, the outcomes for mixed-type EGC can be similar to those for pure differentiated EGC after complete resection without development of lymphovascular invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer (EGC) is widely performed. However, there is still a paucity of strong evidence regarding long-term outcomes after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the expanded indication criteria of the Japanese guidelines (ver. 2010). METHODS Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed in patients with EGC that met the expanded indication criteria: (i) cT1a, differentiated-type EGC of 2 to 5 cm, ulcer negative or (ii) cT1a, differentiated-type EGC of ≤3 cm, ulcer positive. Patients whose pathological examination fulfilled the curative resection criteria were then enrolled in this cohort study: negative vertical margin, negative lymphovascular invasion, and (i) pT1a, differentiated-type, and ulcer negative; (ii) pT1a, differentiated-type, ≤3 cm, and ulcer positive; or (iii) pT1b1 (<500-μm submucosal invasion), differentiated-type, and ≤3 cm. Patients with only a positive horizontal margin as a noncurative factor were included for follow-up. RESULTS From September 2003 to February 2012, a total of 356 patients underwent ESD, and 214 were enrolled in the survival analysis. One hundred twenty patients (56%) had >2 cm in diameter and ulcer-negative lesions, and 94 (44%) had ≤3 cm and ulcer-positive lesions. The vital status at 5 years after ESD was confirmed in all (100%) patients. No local or metastatic recurrence was detected; however, 26 metachronous gastric cancers developed, and 1 patient died of metachronous gastric cancer. The 5-year disease-specific and overall survival rates were 99.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 97.2%-100%) and 93.9% (95% CI, 89.8%-96.4%), respectively. CONCLUSION ESD for EGC that fulfills the expanded criteria is feasible and shows favorable long-term outcomes.

Risk of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer and indications for endoscopic resection: is it worth applying the east rules to the west? Surg Endosc 2020; 35:4380-4388. [PMID: 32880748 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-020-07932-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early gastric cancers are associated with lymph node metastasis (LNM) in 15% of cases. Risk factors for LNM are well established in Eastern countries. Less invasive treatments, such as endoscopic or surgical laparoscopic resection, are well accepted in Eastern countries and a matter of intense debate in the West, were indications for such treatments are still contested The objective of the study is to determine risk factors related to LNM and to validate endoscopic resection indications. METHODS The study was a retrospective cohort of 178 patients with early gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy. Clinical and pathological factors were analyzed. The new rules of ER from JGCA were applied to the studied cohort. RESULTS LNM was present in 13.48% of the cases, 3.96% (3/76) in T1a tumors and 20.58% (21/102) in T1b tumors. In univariate analysis ulceration (p = 0.04), differentiation grade (p = 0.04), submucosal invasion (p = 0.001), lymphatic invasion (p < 0.001), and vascular invasion (p < 0.001) were associated with LNM. In multivariate analysis, differentiation grade (p = 0.005) and submucosal invasion (p = 0.005) were independent risk factors. One patient classified in the expanded criteria group and seven from the relative criteria group had LNM. There were no LNM for undifferentiated mucosal lesions without ulceration. CONCLUSIONS Undifferentiated tumors and submucosal invasion are risks factors associated with LNM in early gastric cancer in our study. Endoscopic Resection or less invasive and radical surgical treatments are an option to be carefully considered.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become the standard treatment method for early gastric cancers (EGCs) due to the negligible risk for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in Eastern Asian countries. According to the guidelines, the curability of EGC after endoscopic resection was classified into three groups: curative resection, expanded curative resection, and noncurative resection. In Eastern Asian countries, a structured follow-up schedule is needed for patients undergoing curative resection and expanded curative resection. Conversely, in Western countries, additional surgery may be recommended for some patients undergoing expanded curative resection (ulcerated, undifferentiated, or slight submucosal invasion) due to the potential risk for LNM, even though specimens of ESD and surgery may not be handled with the same methodology as that used in Japan, which may lead to this slightly higher risk. In noncurative resection, additional surgery is the standard method after ESD because of the risk for LNM. However, in elderly patients and/or those with severe underlying diseases, the advantages and disadvantages of additional surgery should be considered when selecting a post-ESD treatment strategy for patients undergoing noncurative resection. Risk-scoring systems for LNM may facilitate clinical decisions for these patients. However, it should be noted that when recurrence was detected in patients who were followed up with no additional treatment after ESD with noncurative resection, most of them had a poor prognosis. To select an appropriate treatment method, especially in elderly patients undergoing ESD with noncurative resection, a new tool for evaluating the condition of patients should be established.

Abstract
Background Few studies have delved into the prevalence of distant metastasis (DM +) and survival for patients with lymph node metastases (LN +) by primary site. We aimed to detect differences in distant metastasis and prognosis between pancreatic head and bodytail tumors for LN + patients. Methods Patients with chemotherapy, histologically diagnosed, primary site between 2004 and 2016 were included from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database. Pancreatic head tumors were compared with pancreatic bodytail tumors using the odds ratio (OR) for rates of distant metastasis, hazard ratios (HR) for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). The competing risk model and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to further explore. Results Of 5726 LN + patients identified from the SEER database, pancreatic head tumors account for 85.2% (4877 of 5726) and 14.8% (849 of 5726) were pancreatic bodytail tumors. The incidence of DM was lower in pancreatic head than in pancreatic bodytail tumors (OR, 0.29; 95% CI 0.23–0.37; P < 0.001). The multivariate Cox regression show pancreatic head tumors have a significantly shorter survival rate relative to pancreatic bodytail (HR, 1.12; 95% CI 1.03–1.22; P = 0.008), but the primary site was not a significant independent risk factor for prognosis by log-rank test (P = 0.39) and multivariate competing risk model [subdistribution HR (SHR), 1.08; 95% CI 0.98–1.19; P = 0.087].We then examined our conclusion by 1:1 propensity score matching, and the result reflected pancreatic head tumors have a lower risk of DM compared with pancreatic bodytail tumors (OR, 0.22; 95% CI 0.15–0.34; P < 0.001), but the primary site of pancreatic tumors was not associated with LN + patient survival based on univariate Cox regression (HR, 1.04; 95% CI 0.93–1.17; P = 0.435) and competing risk analysis (SHR, 1.01; 95% CI 0.89–1.12; P = 0.947). Conclusions LN + pancreatic head tumors were significantly lower risk of DM relative to pancreatic bodytail tumors. Survival outcome in LN + pancreatic tumors didn’t exist significant differences split by primary site, which indicates that the prognosis of LN + patients with chemotherapy isn’t associated with the primary site of metastasis, but with the occurrence of metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymph node metastasis (LNM) has a strong influence on the prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC). The aim of this study was to reveal the incidence of LNM and evaluate risk factors for LNM to determine the appropriate treatment for EGC in a Chinese population. METHODS Patients who underwent radical gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for EGC between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify clinicopathological features that were risk factors for LNM. RESULTS A total of 1033 patients with EGC were enrolled. Of these patients, 668 (64.7%) were men, and 365 (35.3%) were women, ranging in age from 19 to 82 years (mean 56.9 ± 10.9 years). LNM was detected in 173(16.7%) patients with EGC. Among 508 patients with mucosal cancer, 44 (8.7%) patients had LNM. In 525 patients with submucosal cancer, the incidence of LNM was 24.6% (129/525). The age, gender, tumor size, type of differentiation, Lauren classification, and lymphovascular and perineural invasion showed a significant correlation with the rate of LNM in EGC by univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients with submucosal gastric cancer had an older age, a higher proportion of proximal lesion, larger tumor size, more frequent lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and more LNM than patients with mucosal gastric cancer. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed a relatively high incidence of LNM in EGC, compared with Japanese and Korean cohorts. Female sex, large tumor size, undifferentiated-type, and lymphovascular invasion were independent risk factors for LNM in EGC. Radical gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy should be performed in EGC patients with a high risk of LNM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer is well established, anatomical resection with regional lymphadenectomy is recommended for lesions at high risk for occult lymph node metastasis (e.g., lymphovascular invasion, poor grade, and deep submucosal invasion). However, 75-95% high-risk early gastric cancer (HR-EGC) patients ultimately have node-negative disease and could potentially have undergone organ-sparing resection. Due to the inadequacy of standard modalities to reliably rule out nodal metastases in HR-EGC patients, sentinel lymph node (SLN) sampling was developed in Asia with promising results. However, the applicability of this technique in the West has been brought into question due to potential differences in tumor histology and body habitus. This prospective study aimed to test SLN sampling for North American EGC patients. METHODS All patients with biopsy-confirmed T0-2 N0-1 M0 gastric adenocarcinoma at the Montreal General Hospital-McGill University Health Centre were eligible for enrollment. Esophageal and GEJ cancers were excluded due to the high rate of intrathoracic lymph node involvement. Peritumoral submucosal injection with T99 radiocolloid was performed endoscopically 24-30 h prior to surgery. Methylene blue dye injection was performed after induction of anesthesia. SLN basins were identified as those having > 10% of baseline tumor radiation signal or blue color, or both. After basins were individually removed, standard laparoscopic anatomical resection was then performed with D2 lymphadenectomy. ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03049345). Data are presented as median (interquartile range). RESULTS From July 2016-April 2018, 253 patients with esophagogastric adenocarcinoma were evaluated. Of these, 10 met inclusion criteria (90% male, age 66(30) years). Subtotal gastrectomy was performed in nine patients (90%) and length of stay was 4 (2) days. At least one SLN basin was identified in nine cases (90%). The median #SLN basins identified was 2(2) with a median of 5(5) total SLNs retrieved per patient. In the one case for which no SLN basins were identified, only blue dye injection was used, whereas SLNs were identified in all cases using the dual tracer method. Final T-stage was pT1b/T2 in four (40%), pT1a in two (20%), and Tx in four (40%). Two patients (20%) had lymph node metastases on final pathological analysis, both of which were identified by SLN sampling (accuracy 100%; false negative rate 0%). No adverse events related to SLN retrieval were identified. CONCLUSIONS This study represents the first prospective feasibility evaluation of sentinel lymph node sampling for early gastric cancer in North America with promising preliminary results. The dual tracer method was superior to single agent blue dye in identifying sentinel nodal basins. Considerable further study is necessary to verify the safety and utility of SLN mapping in North American patients with early gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
With the wide application of endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer (EGC) by not only Asian endoscopists but also those from Western countries, reviews on standardized treatment processes before and after endoscopic resection are nevertheless lacking. In this article we provide a narrative review of studies on the selection of appropriate EGC for endoscopic resection and the follow-up strategies for those with histologically confirmed EGC after endoscopic resection. EGC should be comprehensively assessed before endoscopic resection, including its exact margin, invasive depth and risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). While the curative resection status of EGC may be evaluated after endoscopic resection based on the newly developed eCura system, although this needs to be further verified. Surveillance with endoscopy and computed tomography scan is necessary for patients with an EGC level A or B. An additional endoscopic resection is recommended for patients with a level-C1 EGC. For patients with a level-C2 EGC, close follow-up is suggested for low-risk tumors of level C2 and additional surgery for those at high risks. Further postoperative strategy is suggested based on comprehensive assessment of the risk of LNM, patient's quality of life and wishes.

A Risk-Scoring Model for Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis in Early Gastric Cancer Patients: a Retrospective Study and External Validation. J Gastrointest Surg 2018; 22:1508-1515. [PMID: 29845571 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-018-3816-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2018] [Accepted: 05/14/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The possibility of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is critical to the assessment of the indication for endoscopic submucosal dissection. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the risk factors for LNM and construct a risk-scoring model for patients with early gastric cancer to guide treatment. METHODS A retrospective examination of reports and studies carried out January 2000 and December 2014 was conducted. A risk-scoring model for predicting LNM was developed based on the data thus collected. In addition, the model is subject to verification and validation by three institutions. RESULTS Of the 1029 patients, 228 patients (22%) had LNM. Multivariate analysis showed that female, depressed type, undifferentiated type, submucosa, tumor size, and lymphovascular invasion were significantly associated with LNM. An 11-point risk-scoring model was used to predict LNM risk. An area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of the risk-scoring model was plotted using the development set and the AUROC of the model [0.76 (95% CI 0.73-0.80)] to predict LNM risk. After internal and external validation, the AUROC curve for predicting LNM was 0.77 (95% CI 0.68-0.86), 0.82 (95% CI 0.72-0.91), and 0.82 (95% CI 0.70-0.94), respectively. CONCLUSIONS A risk-scoring model for predicting LNM was developed and validated. It could help with personalized care for patients with EGC.

Incidence, Survival, and Predictors of Lymph Node Involvement in Early-Stage Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma in the US. J Gastrointest Surg 2018; 22:569-577. [PMID: 29313289 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-017-3500-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2017] [Accepted: 07/06/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence, survival, and propensity for nodal metastasis in early-stage gastric signet ring cell carcinoma have not been defined in the United States. These data are critical determinants for treatment allocation. METHODS Cases of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma were extracted from the national SEER database for the years 2004-2013. Age-standardized incidence was derived. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of nodal metastasis. Exclusion criteria included neoadjuvant radiotherapy and lack of histologic or nodal data. RESULTS A total of 10,624 cases were initially identified. The analysis cohort included 506 cases with early T-stage N0M0 disease following exclusions. The incidence was 0.094 per 100,000 person-years. The 5-year survival rate was 82.8%. Tumor stage (p < 0.001) and size (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of nodal metastasis. The incidence of nodal involvement for T1a tumors <2 cm was 5.4% (p < 0.004). CONCLUSION The incidence of potentially resectable signet ring gastric carcinoma has not changed significantly over the past decade. While presenting with predominantly high-grade histology, early T-stage disease has a high survival rate. Small T1a tumors have low rates of nodal metastasis, suggesting that an endoscopic resection could be considered in this subset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymph node metastasis (LNM) has a strong influence on the prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC). As minimally invasive treatments are considered appropriate for EGC, and lymphadenectomy may be restricted or even eliminated in some cases; it is imperative to identify the main risk factors for LNM to individualize the therapeutic approach. This study aims to evaluate the risk factors for LNM in EGC and to determine the adequacy of the endoscopic resection criteria in a western population. METHODS EGC patients who underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy were retrospectively analyzed utilizing a prospective database. The clinicopathological variables were assessed to determine which factors were associated to LNM. RESULTS Among 474 enrolled patients, 105 had EGC (22.1%). LNM occurred in 13.3% of all EGC (10% T1a; 15.4% T1b). Tumor size, venous, lymphatic, and perineural invasions were confirmed as independent predictors of LNM by multivariate analysis. Expanded criteria were safely adopted only in selected cases, and 13.6% of patients who matched expanded indication had LNM. CONCLUSIONS Tumor size, venous, lymphatic, and perineural invasions were associated with LNM and should be considered as surrogate markers for surgical treatment of EGC. Expanded criteria for endoscopic resection can be safely adopted only in selected cases.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are critical in various human cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the mechanism underlying the GC development remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that miR-448 is increased in GC samples and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-448 facilitated the proliferation of GC cells by stimulating glycolysis. Mechanistically, we identified KDM2B, a reader for methylated CpGs, as the target of miR-448 that represses glycolysis and promotes oxidative phosphorylation. Overexpression of miR-448 reduced both the mRNA and protein levels of KDM2B, whereas KDM2B re-expression abrogated the miR-448-mediated glycolytic activities. Furthermore, we discovered Myc as a key target of KDM2B that controls metabolic switch in GC. Importantly, a cohort of 81 GC tissues revealed that miR-448 level closely associated with a battery of glycolytic genes, in which KDM2B showed the strongest anti-correlation coefficient. In addition, enhanced miR-448 level was significantly associated with poor clinical outcomes of GC patients. Hence, we identified a previously unappreciated mechanism by which miR-448 orchestrate epigenetic, transcriptional and metabolic networks to promote GC progression, suggesting the possibility of therapeutic intervention against cancer metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality globally. Accumulating studies have identified the involvement of microRNAs in the initiation and progression of gastric cancer. This study was aimed to investigate the expression, functional roles of microRNA‑454 (miR‑454) and its direct target gene in gastric cancer. According to the results, the expression level of miR‑454 was demonstrated to be reduced in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines compared with corresponding distant non‑tumor gastric tissues and human immortalized gastric epithelial, respectively. miR‑454 mimic transfection led to inhibition of gastric cancer cells proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. Bioinformatic analysis predicated that zinc finger E‑box‑binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) is a potential target gene of miR‑454. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that miR‑454 directly targeted the 3'UTR of ZEB1. miR‑454 overexpression significantly decreased the ZEB1 mRNA and protein expression levels. ZEB1 knockdown could mimic the tumor suppressive roles induced by miR‑454 overexpression on gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In conclusion, the present study suggested that miR‑454 under expression may be involved in gastric cancer initiation and progression, by promoting proliferation, migration and invasion by directly targeting ZEB1. miR‑454/ZEB1‑based targeted therapy may be a potential strategy for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a relatively new procedure used for the treatment of early gastrointestinal cancers regardless of the lesion size and configuration, and it has gradually acquired popularity because of its minimally invasive nature. As compared to conventional endoscopic resection, ESD is a more complex procedure and requires a higher level of technical skill. Therefore, it is associated with a higher complication rate. Many previous studies that investigated the complication rates following ESD analyzed data from a limited number of specialized centers, possibly leading to an underestimation of the complication rates. Further, the relationship between hospital volume and complication rates is poorly understood. In the present study, we searched the MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library databases for studies that have reported on ESD-related complications and the relationship between hospital volume and ESD-related complication rates in a nationwide setting. The complication rates (including perforation, peritonitis, and bleeding) were 3.5% for gastric ESD, 3.3% for esophageal ESD, and 4.6% for colorectal ESD. The studies reviewed showed that ESD-related complication rates were permissibly low, and that there was a linear association between a higher hospital volume and a lower frequency of complications following ESD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The frequency of lymph node metastasis in each T stage of gastric cancer has not been as well described for Western populations as it has for Asian populations. This study aimed to determine these frequencies and to investigate risk factors associated with lymph node metastases in a racially diverse U.S. METHODS A prospectively maintained database of 8260 patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma treated at our institution from 1995 to 2013 was reviewed to identify those who underwent surgical resection without preoperative therapy. Associations between clinicopathologic variables and lymph node metastasis were tested with uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The study identified 218 patients with a pathologic diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent upfront gastrectomy. These study subjects included 115 white (53 %), 19 black (9 %), and 41 Asian (19 %) patients. At least 15 lymph nodes were examined in 148 (68 %) of the patients. The lymph node metastasis rates were 10 % for stage T1a, 34 % for stage T1b, 44 % for stage T2, 73 % for stage T3, and 95 % for stage T4 tumors. Univariate analysis showed that submucosal invasion, race, 15 or more lymph nodes examined, and lymphovascular invasion were associated with lymph node metastasis in T1 and T2 tumors. The multivariate analysis showed all but lymphovascular invasion to be independent risk factors for nodal metastasis. CONCLUSIONS The rates of lymph node metastasis observed in this study were higher than those reported in Asian reports. Race was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis. Caution is therefore needed when evidence from Asian countries is extrapolated to more racially diverse Western countries.

Abstract
Aberrant expression of Liver X receptor α (LXRα) has been frequently reported in various types of cancers excluding gastric cancer (GC). Moreover, the role of LXRα in human GC has not been previously reported. In this study, we investigated the effect of LXRα down-regulation on invasion and EMT of GC. The expression of LXRα in GC cell lines was detected by real-time PCR. The LXRα siRNA was transiently transfected into GC cells using Lipofectamine™ 2000 reagent. Subsequently, cell invasive ability was evaluated by Transwell assays. Western blot and real-time PCR were used to determined the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and -9), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Slug, and Twist in GC cells. In addition, the effect of LXRα down-regulation on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway was explored by Western blot. From our results, we found that the expression of LXRα was significantly increased in GC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of LXRα suppressed the invasive ability of GC cells. The levels of MMP-2 and -9 were dramatically decreased by down-regulating LXRα. In addition, we found a decrease of N-cadherin, Twist, and Slug expressions and an increase of E-cadherin expression, but no influence on the expression levels of Vimentin and Snail. We also found that LXRα down-regulation might suppress the phosphorylation of Akt, NF-κB, and IκB. Collectively, our results indicated that down-regulation of LXRα was shown to suppress invasion and EMT of GC cells by decreasing the expressions of related proteins through inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify clinicopathologic factors associated with overall survival (OS) in early T stage gastric cancer in a Western population. METHODS Patients with stage T1 or T2 gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma who had undergone upfront gastrectomy from 1995 to 2013 were identified in an institutional database. RESULTS We identified 121 patients with pathologic stage T1 or T2 tumors (49 [41%] T1a; 49 [41%] T1b; and 23 [19%] T2) who underwent R0 resection without preoperative treatment. Of these, 53% were white, 9% African American, 17% Hispanic, and 22% Asian. The median follow-up was 5.7 years, and the 5-year OS rate was 89% (98%, 93%, and 66% for patients with T1a, T1b, and T2 tumors, respectively). Univariate analysis revealed a higher risk of death in patients with T2 tumors and those of African American race. On multivariate analysis, T2 stage was the only variable independently associated with OS (hazard ratio, 2.80; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-7.12; P = 0.03). CONCLUSION In this study of a Western population of patients with T1 or T2 gastric cancer, T2 stage was associated with diminished OS, whereas nodal status and race were not. J. Surg.
