Abstract
BACKGROUND Nivolumab with chemotherapy has been transformative for metastatic gastric cancer (GC). The potential of this regimen for local tumor control could be utilized for perioperative chemotherapy in locally advanced GC with bulky tumors or lymph node metastasis involving other organs. CASE PRESENTATION Five patients with HER2-negative advanced GC were treated with nivolumab and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. All patients presented with clinical stage III or IVA GC with tumors in contact with either the pancreas or liver. Following chemotherapy, all tumors demonstrated shrinkage, allowing successful radical gastrectomies including four minimally invasive approach without postoperative complications. Four patients avoided combined resection of other organs. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative chemotherapy with nivolumab was effective for local disease control in this case series. This regimen could be a promising treatment approach for locally advanced GC; however, its survival benefits should be evaluated in clinical trials.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:3010. [PMID: 38792552 PMCID: PMC11121797 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13103010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: This systematic review examines the efficacy of multiorgan resection (MOR) in treating locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), focusing on survival outcomes, postoperative morbidity, and mortality. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of studies in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase up to November 2023, based on the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria focused on clinical trials, observational studies, case-control studies, and qualitative research, involving patients of any age and gender diagnosed with LAGC undergoing MOR aimed at R0 resection, with secondary outcomes focusing on survival rates, postoperative outcomes, and the effects of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies. Exclusion criteria ruled out non-human studies, research not specifically focused on LAGC patients undergoing MOR, and studies lacking clear, quantifiable outcomes. The quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The final analysis included twenty studies, involving a total of 2489 patients across a time span from 2001 to 2023. Results highlighted a significant variation in median survival times ranging from 10 to 27 months and R0 resection rates from 32.1% to 94.3%. Survival rates one-year post-R0 resection varied between 46.7% and 84.8%, with an adjusted weighted mean of 66.95%. Key predictors of reduced survival included esophageal invasion and peritoneal dissemination, the presence of more than six lymph nodes, and tumor sizes over 10 cm. Nevertheless, the meta-analysis revealed a significant heterogeneity (I2 = 87%), indicating substantial variability across studies, that might be caused by differences in surgical techniques, patient demographics, and treatment settings which influence survival outcomes. Results: The review underlines the important role of achieving R0 resection status in improving survival outcomes, despite the high risks associated with MOR. Variability across studies suggests that local practice patterns and patient demographics significantly influence results. Conclusions: The findings emphasize the need for aggressive surgical strategies to improve survival in LAGC treatment, highlighting the importance of achieving curative resection despite inherent challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) extending to the surrounding tissues may require a multivisceral resection (MVR) to provide the best chance of cure. However, little is known about how the extent of organ resection affects the risks and benefits of surgery. METHODS An electronic database of patients treated between 1996 and 2020 in an academic surgical centre was reviewed. MVRs were defined as partial or total gastrectomy combined with splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, or partial colectomy. RESULTS Suspected intraoperative tumour invasion of perigastric organs (cT4b) was found in 298 of 1476 patients with non-metastatic GC, and 218 were subject to MVRs, including the spleen (n = 126), pancreas (n = 51), and colon (n = 41). MVRs were associated with higher proportions of surgical and general complications, but not mortality. A nomogram was developed to predict the risk of major postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo's grade ≥ 3a), and the highest odds ratio for major morbidity identified by logistic regression modelling was found for distal pancreatectomy (2.53, 95% CI 1.23-5.19, P = 0.012) and colectomy (2.29, 95% CI 1.04-5.09, P = 0.035). Margin-positive resections were identified by the Cox proportional hazards model as the most important risk factor for patients' survival (hazard ratio 1.47, 95% CI 1.10-1.97). The extent of organ resection did not affect prognosis, but a MVR was the only factor reducing the risk of margin positivity (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.21-0.87). CONCLUSIONS The risk of multivisceral resections is associated with the organ being removed, but only MVRs increase the odds of complete tumour clearance for locally advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
Introduction Multivisceral resections (MVRs) in gastric cancer are potentially curable in selected patients in whom clear resection margins are possible. However, there are still uncertain data on their feasibility and safety considering short- and long-term results. The study compares survival, morbidity, mortality, and other secondary outcomes between standard and MVRs for gastric cancer. Materials and Methods A monocentric retrospective study in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, covering 2004 to 2020. Of the 336 operable cases, 101 patients underwent MVRs. The remaining 235 underwent standard gastric resections (SGRs), of which 173 patients were in stage T3/T4. To compare survival, a control group of 101 patients with palliative procedures was used-bypass anastomosis or exploration. Results MVR had a lower survival rate than the SGR but significantly higher than the palliative procedures. The predominant gender in MVR was male (72.3%), with a mean age of 61 years. The perioperative mortality was 3.96% ( n = 4), and the overall median survival was 28.1 months. The most frequently resected organs were the spleen (67.3%), followed by the pancreas (32.7%) and the liver (20.8%). In 56.4% of the cases two organs were resected, in 28.7% three organs, and in 13.9% four organs. The main complication was bleeding (9.9%). The major postoperative complications in the MVR were 14.85%, and in the SGR 6.4% ( p < 0.05). Better long-term results were observed in patients who underwent R0 resections compared with R1. Conclusion Multiorgan resections are characterized by poorer survival and a higher complication rate than gastrectomies. On the other hand, they have better long-term outcomes than palliative procedures. However, MVRs are admissible when performed by an experienced surgical team in high-volume centers.

Abstract
Background: Multivisceral resection is occasionally necessary for pT4b gastric cancer patients to achieve negative margin. The purpose of this study is to assess the short-term safety and long-term efficacy of this approach. Methods: A single-center, retrospective analysis was conducted for pT4b gastric cancer patients after curative-intent multivisceral resection from the China National Cancer Center Gastric Cancer Database (NCCGCDB) from 1998 to 2018. The postoperative complications, recurrence patterns, long-term survival, and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: A total of 210 patients were included in the study. The most common combined resection organs were multiple organs (30.5%), pancreas (20.5%), colon (16.7%), and liver (9.0%). Seventeen patients (8.1%) developed postoperative complications and hospital death was observed in one patient (0.5%). The most common postoperative complications were anastomotic leak (4.3%) and intra-abdominal infection (5.7%). The 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates for the patients investigated were 38.0% and 33.8%, respectively, and the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 48.2% and 39.1%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis proved that negative nerve invasion was independent risk factors for DFS (HR: 2.202, 95%CI: 1.144-4.236, P=0.018) and OS (HR: 2.219, 95%CI: 1.164-4.231, P=0.015). Conclusions: Multivisceral resection in pT4b gastric cancer patients without distant metastasis was effective and had an acceptable safety profile.

Circular RNA mitochondrial translation optimization 1 correlates with less lymph node metastasis, longer disease-free survival, and higher chemotherapy sensitivity in gastric cancer. J Clin Lab Anal 2022; 36:e23918. [PMID: 35478417 PMCID: PMC9169224 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Circular‐mitochondrial translation optimization 1 (circ‐MTO1) inhibits the progression of gastric cancer by regulating the growth, apoptosis, and invasion of tumor cells. However, its clinical potential as a biomarker for gastric cancer remains to be further evaluated. This study aimed to assess circ‐MTO1 expression and its correlation with clinical features and prognosis in gastric cancer patients, as well as the effect of circ‐MTO1 on the sensitivity to chemotherapy in gastric cancer cells. Methods Circ‐MTO1 in tumor and adjacent tissues of 97 gastric cancer patients undergoing resection was examined by reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction. HGC‐27 and NCI‐N87 cells transfected by circ‐MOT1 overexpression plasmid (OE‐circ‐MOT1) and negative control (OE‐NC) were treated with 0‒6.4 μM oxaliplatin. Relative cell viability was detected using Cell Counting Kit‐8. Results Circ‐MTO1 was insufficiently expressed in gastric tumor tissue (median (interquartile range): 0.403 (0.288‒0.518)) compared with adjacent tissue (median (interquartile range): 1.000 (0.715‒1.524)) (p < 0.001). Besides, tumor circ‐MTO1 was correlated with less lymph node metastasis (p = 0.014) and low TNM stage (p = 0.039), while was not correlated with demographic features or other clinical characteristics (all p > 0.05). Furthermore, tumor circ‐MTO1 high expression was independently correlated with prolonged disease‐free survival (DFS) (p = 0.013, adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidential interval): 0.314 (0.126‒0.782)), but was not correlated with overall survival (p > 0.05). Lastly, in gastric cancer cells, OE‐circ‐MTO1 apparently decreased relative cell viabilities at oxaliplatin concentrations of 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 μM (all p < 0.05). Conclusion Circ‐MTO1 correlates with less lymph node metastasis, prolonged DFS, and improved chemotherapy sensitivity in gastric cancer.
