Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Gastric cancer (GC) prognosis is influenced by the extent of the tumor, lymph node involvement (LNM), and metastasis. Endoscopic resection (ER) or gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy are standard treatments for early GC (EGC). This study evaluated LNM frequency according to eCura categories, clinicopathological characteristics, disease-free (DFS), and overall (OS) survival rates. METHODS We included EGC patients who underwent curative gastrectomy between 2009 and 2020 from our single-center database. Anatomopathological and clinical reports were reviewed to analyze eCura categories. RESULTS We included 160 EGC patients who underwent gastrectomy with eCura categories A, B, and C, comprising 26.3%, 13.8%, and 60%, respectively. Baseline clinical characteristics showed no intergroup disparities. LNM incidence for A, B, and C was 4.8%, 18.2%, and 19.8%. When evaluating the criteria for ER and its association with eCura categories, we found that 95.2% of eCura A and 100% of eCura B patients had classic or expanded criteria for ER. On the other hand, 97.9% of eCura C patients were referred to surgical resection. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that lymphatic (OR = 5.57, CI95% = 1.45-21.29, p = 0.012) and perineural (OR = 15.8, CI95% = 1.39-179.88, p = 0.026) invasions were associated with a higher risk of LNM. No significant differences in DFS or OS were found among eCura categories. CONCLUSION The eCura categories were associated with the occurrence of LNM. In most patients, those with classic and expanded indication criteria for ER were classified as eCura A and B.

Abstract
This document from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) provides a full description of the methodology used in the review of the evidence used to inform the final guidance outlined in the accompanying Summary and Recommendations document regarding the role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the management of early esophageal and gastric cancers. This guideline used the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework and specifically addresses the role of ESD versus EMR and/or surgery, where applicable, for the management of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) and their corresponding precursor lesions. For ESCC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well-differentiated, nonulcerated cancer >15 mm, whereas in patients with similar lesions ≤15 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. The ASGE suggests against surgery for such patients with ESCC, whenever possible. For EAC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well-differentiated, nonulcerated cancer >20 mm, whereas in patients with similar lesions measuring ≤20 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. For GAC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well or moderately differentiated, nonulcerated intestinal type cancer measuring 20 to 30 mm, whereas for patients with similar lesions <20 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. The ASGE suggests against surgery for patients with such lesions measuring ≤30 mm, whereas for lesions that are poorly differentiated, regardless of size, the ASGE suggests surgical evaluation over endosic approaches.

Long-term outcomes of additional surgery versus non-gastrectomy treatment for early gastric cancer after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection: a meta-analysis. Chin Med J (Engl) 2023; 136:528-535. [PMID: 36914940 PMCID: PMC10106195 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection is increasingly used in the treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC); however, about 15% of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) cases report non-curative resection. The efficacy of different remedial interventions after non-curative ESD for EGC remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of additional surgery and non-gastrectomy treatment for EGC patients who underwent non-curative ESD. METHODS All relevant studies published up to October 2021 were systematically searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. The medical subject headings terms "early gastric cancer," "gastrectomy," "endoscopic submucosal dissection," and their related free keywords were used to search relevant articles without restrictions on regions, publication types, or languages. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), disease-free survival (DFS) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs of OS were calculated using a random- or fixed-effects model. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 17 retrospective cohort studies with 5880 patients, of whom 3167 underwent additional surgery and 2713 underwent non-gastrectomy. We found that patients receiving additional gastrectomy had better 5-year OS (OR = 3.63, 95% CI = 3.05-4.31), DSS (OR = 3.22, 95% CI = 2.22-4.66), and DFS (OR = 4.39, 95% CI = 1.78-10.82) outcomes than those receiving non-gastrectomy treatments. The pooled HR also showed that gastrectomy following non-curative ESD significantly improved OS (HR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.33-0.48). In addition, elderly patients benefited from additional surgery in consideration of the 5-year OS (HR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.41-0.72). CONCLUSIONS Compared with non-gastrectomy treatments, additional surgery offered better long-term survival outcomes for patients with EGC who underwent non-curative ESD.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in Korea and the world. Since 2004, this is the 4th gastric cancer guideline published in Korea which is the revised version of previous evidence-based approach in 2018. Current guideline is a collaborative work of the interdisciplinary working group including experts in the field of gastric surgery, gastroenterology, endoscopy, medical oncology, abdominal radiology, pathology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and guideline development methodology. Total of 33 key questions were updated or proposed after a collaborative review by the working group and 40 statements were developed according to the systematic review using the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and KoreaMed database. The level of evidence and the grading of recommendations were categorized according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation proposition. Evidence level, benefit, harm, and clinical applicability was considered as the significant factors for recommendation. The working group reviewed recommendations and discussed for consensus. In the earlier part, general consideration discusses screening, diagnosis and staging of endoscopy, pathology, radiology, and nuclear medicine. Flowchart is depicted with statements which is supported by meta-analysis and references. Since clinical trial and systematic review was not suitable for postoperative oncologic and nutritional follow-up, working group agreed to conduct a nationwide survey investigating the clinical practice of all tertiary or general hospitals in Korea. The purpose of this survey was to provide baseline information on follow up. Herein we present a multidisciplinary-evidence based gastric cancer guideline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Comprehensive assessments of the long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) in the elderly are unavailable. We aimed to create a scoring system to predict the long-term prognosis after ESD for EGC among patients aged ≥75 years. METHODS We conducted retrospective studies of two cohorts: a single-center cohort (2006-2011) for developing the scoring system, and a multicenter cohort for validating the developed system (2012-2016). In the development cohort, factors related to death after ESD were identified using multivariable Cox regression analysis, and a predictive scoring system was developed. In the validation cohort, the scoring system was validated in 295 patients. RESULTS In the development cohort, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥3 (hazard ratio [HR] 3.017), high psoas muscle index (PMI) (HR 2.206), and age ≥80 years (HR 1.978) were significantly related to overall survival after ESD. Therefore, high CCI, low PMI, and age ≥80 years were assigned 1 point each. The patients were categorized into low (≤1 point) and high (≥2 points) score groups based on their total scores. In the validation cohort, 184 and 111 patients were assigned to the low- and high-score groups, respectively. In comparisons based on Kaplan-Meier curves, the 5-year survival rate was 91.5% in the low-score group and 57.8% in the high-score group (log-rank test; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our scoring system including high CCI, low PMI, and age ≥80 years could stratify the long-term prognosis of elderly patients aged ≥75 years after ESD for EGC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish whether gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (EGC) in elderly patients is related to poor survival. METHODS The subjects of this retrospective study were patients aged ≥ 75 years with primary stage IA EGC, who underwent curative resection with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgery. RESULTS We analyzed data on 365 patients who underwent ESD and 170 patients who underwent surgery. Overall survival (OS) was not significantly different for the ESD group vs. the surgery group (5-year cumulative rates, 81.5% vs. 79.7%; log-rank test, P = 0.506). Multivariate analysis revealed that treatments; namely, ESD or surgery, were not associated with OS (hazard ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval 0.77-1.51). Similar results were observed even in the subgroups with worse conditions, such as age > 80 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 2-3, Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 2, and prognostic nutritional index ≤ 46.7. Using propensity score matching, we selected 88 pairs of patients who underwent ESD or surgery with baseline characteristics matched and found that OS was not different between the two groups (log-rank test, P = 0.829). CONCLUSION OS was comparable for elderly patients who underwent ESD and those who underwent surgery for EGC. Surgical invasiveness did not worsen the prognosis, even for elderly patients.

Abstract
Purpose Lymphovascular invasion is a criterion for non-curative resection in patients who have undergone endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC). We aimed to determine the rate of extragastric metastasis (EGM) and identify the predictors of EGM in patients with negative resection margins (R0 resection) and lymphovascular invasion in post-ESD pathology. Materials and Methods A total of 2,983 patients underwent ESD for EGC. Among them, 110 had a pathology of R0 resection and positive lymphovascular invasion. Patients underwent additional gastrectomy (n=63) or further follow-up without gastrectomy (n=47). Results The 110 patients were assigned to one of the 3 groups according to ESD indications based on post-ESD pathology. The first group satisfied the absolute indication for ESD (n=18), the second group satisfied the expanded indications for ESD (n=34), and the last group satisfied the beyond indication (n=58). The number of occurrences of EGM in each group was 1 (5.6%), 3 (8.8%), and 3 (5.2%), respectively. The logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, tumor size, and indication for ESD, showed that larger tumor size was associated with EGM (odds ratio, 1.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.00–3.10; P=0.048). In contrast, ESD indication criteria did not affect EGM (P=0.349). Conclusions Tumor size was the only predictive indicator for EGM in patients who underwent R0 resection and lymphovascular invasion on post-ESD pathology. Even patients with pathology corresponding to the absolute indication criteria of ESD had lymphovascular invasion, which means that they require additional gastrectomy due to the risk of EGM.

Abstract
Countries differ in their treatment expertise and research results regarding gastric cancer; hence, treatment guidelines are diverse based on evidence and medical situations. A comprehensive and comparative review of each country’s guidelines is imperative to understand the similarities and differences among countries. We reviewed and compared five gastric cancer treatment guidelines in terms of endoscopic, surgical, perioperative, and palliative systemic treatment based on evidence levels and recommendation grades, as well as the postoperative follow-up strategies for each guideline. The Korean, Chinese, and European guidelines provided evidence and grading of the recommendations. The United States guidelines suggested categories for evidence and consensus. The Japanese guidelines suggested evidence and recommendations only for systemic treatment. The Korean and Japanese guidelines described endoscopic treatment, surgery, and lymphadenectomy in detail. The Chinese, United States, and European guidelines more intensively considered perioperative chemotherapy. In particular, the indications for chemotherapy and the regimens recommended by each guideline differed slightly. Considering their medical situations, each guideline had some diversity in terms of adopting evidence, which resulted in heterogeneous recommendations. This review will help medical personnel to comprehensively understand the diversity in gastric cancer treatment guidelines for each country in terms of evidence and recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short and long outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are now well described. However, the outcome of non-curative ESDs is scarcely reported. OBJECTIVE To describe our experience with non-curative ESDs, assessing the presence of residual lesion in the endoscopic follow-up or surgery. METHODS Data of all the patients submitted to ESD between January 2015 and June 2020 in our tertiary Center was prospectively recorded. Among non-curative ESDs, the presence of residual neoplasia after complementary surgical treatment or in the endoscopic follow-up was assessed. RESULTS In that period, a total of 388 ESDs were performed in the esophagus (n = 13), stomach (n = 222), colon (n = 20), rectum (n = 132), and duodenum (n = 1). Median follow-up was 30 months (range 4-69 months). ESD was technically successful in 376 lesions (97%). From 325 neoplastic epithelial lesions and 18 neoplastic submucosal tumors, 61 (17.8%) did not fulfill curative criteria entirely. Positive horizontal margins (n = 28), positive vertical margins (n = 10) and submucosal invasion >SM1 (n = 14) were the main causes of non-curative ESD. Among patients with non-curative ESDs, 20 were operated and 33 were already followed-up by endoscopy, and only seven (13%, corresponding to 2% of the total number of successful neoplastic ESDs) had residual neoplasia. CONCLUSION Our real-life experience showed that the vast majority of non-curative ESD did not actually have residual neoplasia in the follow-up.

Abstract
Background Clinical outcomes and prognostic factors for survival after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in older patients aged ≥ 85 years with early gastric cancer (EGC) are not well defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors for survival after ESD in older patients aged ≥ 85 years with EGC. Methods Clinical outcomes of 70 patients aged ≥ 85 years with EGC treated with ESD were evaluated retrospectively. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were analyzed with the Kaplan–Meier method and a Cox proportional hazards model. Results During the follow-up period, 33 patients died from any cause, none of whom died from gastric cancer. OS probability after 3 years was 90.0%. Univariate analyses revealed that a neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio ≥ 2.6, a prognostic nutritional index (PNI) < 42.5 and low serum albumin value (< 3.5 g/dl) were associated with poor OS. Cox multivariate analysis revealed low PNI (< 42.5) to be an independent prognostic factor associated with OS (hazard ratio; 3.40, 95% confidence interval; 1.47–7.86, P = 0.004). Conclusions PNI may be a useful parameter for making the decision to perform ESD for older patients aged ≥ 85 years with EGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS For early gastric cancer (EGC) treated using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with poor curability defined by the Japanese Guidelines (non-curative EGC, N-EGC), additional gastrectomy has been recommended. However, N-EGC patients without additional gastrectomy often die of other diseases within a relatively short interval after ESD. It has been unclear whether additional gastrectomy is beneficial or not for such patients. The aim of this study was to clarify predictors for short-term survival of N-EGC patients without additional gastrectomy after ESD. METHODS One hundred six N-EGC patients without additional gastrectomy were included in this study. Factors related to short-term survival, defined as death within 3 years after ESD, were evaluated using uni- and multivariate analyses by comparing patients with and without short-term survival (Groups S and C, respectively). RESULTS During the mean follow-up period of 89 months, 39 patients died (14 patients died within 3 years, being Group S). The cause of death was gastric cancer for only 1 patient in the Group C. The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 86.8 and 81.8%, respectively, and the 3- and 5-years disease-specific survival rates were 100 and 98.9%, respectively. Univariate analyses showed that short-term survival was statistically associated with elevated morphology, high-risk status for lymph node metastases as defined by the eCura system, severe comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI] ≥3), low level of activity in daily living (being unable to go out by oneself), habitation (a nursing home), and several poor nutritional prognostic indices (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio ≥2.5, geriatric nutritional risk index <92, C-reactive protein ≥1.0). In the multivariate analysis, a high CCI (≥3) was the independent predictor for short-term survival after ESD (odds ratio, 8.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.53-43.0; p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS Severe comorbidity indicated by a high CCI score (≥3) was the independent predictor for short-term survival for EGC patients without additional gastrectomy after non-curative ESD. Since the cause of death for most patients was not gastric cancer, observational follow-ups without additional gastrectomy might be a reasonable option for patients with a poor general status indicated by a CCI ≥3.

Abstract
Although surgery was the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers, endoscopic resection is now a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers without regional lymph node metastasis. High-definition white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow band imaging are performed to assess the edge and depth of early gastrointestinal cancers for delineation of resection boundaries and prediction of the possibility of lymph node metastasis before the decision of endoscopic resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed to remove early gastrointestinal cancers completely by en bloc fashion. Histopathological evaluation should be carefully made to investigate the presence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis such as depth of cancer invasion and lymphovascular invasion. Additional treatment such as radical surgery with regional lymphadenectomy should be considered if the endoscopically resected specimen shows risk factors for lymph node metastasis. This is the first Korean clinical practice guideline for endoscopic resection of early gastrointestinal cancer. This guideline was developed by using mainly de novo methods and encompasses endoscopic management of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, and early colorectal cancer. This guideline will be revised as new data on early gastrointestinal cancer are collected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Both potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are known to be protective against bleeding after gastric endoscopic dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancers. The aim was to compare the effect of PPI and P-CAB treatment against bleeding after gastric ESD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective analysis. Among 541 patients who underwent gastric ESD during the period from 2014 to 2019, we recruited subjects who were treated with PPIs (intravenous lansoprazole followed by oral esomeprazole) or a P-CAB before and after ESD. The incidence of post-ESD bleeding was compared between treatment groups. The risks associated with post-ESD bleeding were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses after propensity score-matching. RESULTS The overall incidence of post-ESD bleeding was not significantly different between patients treated with PPIs (n = 362) and those treated with a P-CAB (n = 156) (3.0% vs 2.6%, respectively; p = .77). Even after propensity score matching (n = 153 in each group), the incidence was not significantly different between groups (2.6% vs 2.6%, respectively; p = 1.00). A multivariate analysis revealed that antithrombotic therapy (OR 4.85, 95% CI 1.14-20.57) was an independent factor associated with post-ESD bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of post gastric ESD bleeding is not different between patients treated with PPI and patients treated with P-CAB. Antithrombotic therapy is an independent risk factor associated with post-ESD bleeding.

Prevalence and risk factors for lymph node metastasis after noncurative endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Gastroenterol 2020; 55:742-753. [PMID: 32277297 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-020-01685-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Additional surgery for all patients with noncurative resection after endoscopic resection (ER) for early gastric cancer (EGC) may be excessive due to the relatively low rate of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in such patients. However, the prevalence and risk factors for LNM after noncurative ER have not been consistent across studies. METHODS We performed a systematic review of electronic databases through August 10, 2018 to identify cohort studies with patients who underwent additional surgery after noncurative ER for EGC. The prevalence of LNM in such patients was extracted for all studies. Odds ratios (ORs) were combined using random-effects meta-analyses to assess the risk of LNM, when possible. RESULTS We identified 24 studies comprising 3877 patients with 311 having LNM (pooled prevalence, 8.1%). The risk of LNM was significantly increased in lymphatic invasion (OR [95% confidence interval] = 4.22 [2.88-6.19]), lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (4.17 [2.90-5.99]), vascular invasion (2.38 [1.65-3.44]), positive vertical margin (2.16 [1.59-2.93]), submucosal invasion depth of ≥ 500 μm (2.14 [1.48-3.09]), and tumor size > 30 mm (1.77 [1.31-2.40]). In contrast, there was no significant association between undifferentiated-type or ulceration (scar) and LNM. When studies were restricted to those that evaluated the adjusted OR, the risk of vascular invasion for LNM did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Several pathological factors, most notably lymphatic invasion and LVI, were associated with LNM in patients with noncurative resection after ER for EGC. Lymphatic and vascular invasion should be assessed separately instead of LVI (PROSPERO CRD42018109996).

High-Risk Comorbidity Influences Prognosis in Early Gastric Cancer after Noncurative Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: A Retrospective Study. Dig Dis 2020; 39:96-105. [PMID: 32663825 DOI: 10.1159/000510115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies reporting the clinical outcomes of noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) from the perspective of patient health condition/status. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes of noncurative ESD considering not only curability but also patient factors such as advanced age, comorbidities, and nutritional status. METHODS Between April 2007 and March 2012, 95 patients who underwent noncurative ESD for EGC were enrolled in the study. Patients were categorized by treatment after ESD: additional gastrectomy (49 patients) and follow-up (46 patients). Clinical outcomes were evaluated between the 2 groups for overall survival (OS). RESULTS The absence of lymphovascular involvement and age ≥80 years were significantly associated with decision-making for observation after noncurative ESD. The OS rates were higher in female patients, patients with better Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (≤1) or low-risk comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI ≤ 2]), patients with ulcerative findings, and those who underwent radical gastrectomy. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated that presence of a high-risk comorbidity (CCI ≥ 3) was a significant prognostic factor (hazard ratio: 16.43, p = 0.024) in patients who underwent noncurative ESD for EGC. CONCLUSION High-risk comorbidity is the primary prognostic parameter in terms of patient factors after noncurative ESD for EGC. The CCI should be considered as a prognostic factor in patients who underwent noncurative ESD for EGC.

Abstract
Although surgery was the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers, endoscopic resection is now a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers without regional lymph node metastasis. High-definition white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow band imaging are performed to assess the edge and depth of early gastrointestinal cancers for delineation of resection boundaries and prediction of the possibility of lymph node metastasis before the decision of endoscopic resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed to remove early gastrointestinal cancers completely by en bloc fashion. Histopathological evaluation should be carefully made to investigate the presence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis such as depth of cancer invasion and lymphovascular invasion. Additional treatment such as radical surgery with regional lymphadenectomy should be considered if the endoscopically resected specimen shows risk factors for lymph node metastasis. This is the first Korean clinical practice guideline for endoscopic resection of early gastrointestinal cancer. This guideline was developed by using mainly de novo methods and encompasses endoscopic management of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, and early colorectal cancer. This guideline will be revised as new data on early gastrointestinal cancer are collected.

Propensity score-matched comparison of short- and long-term outcomes between surgery and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for intestinal type early gastric cancer (EGC) of the middle and lower third of the stomach: a European tertiary referral center experience. Surg Endosc 2020; 35:2592-2600. [PMID: 32483697 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-020-07677-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the comparable results between ESD and gastrectomy reported in multiple Asiatic studies, limited data are currently present on the long-term efficacy of ESD for EGC in Western countries. The aim of this study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of the endoscopic submucosal dissection and surgery for non-diffuse early gastric cancer treatment in a Western cohort of patients. METHODS All patients with a diagnosis of intestinal type EGC located in the middle and lower third of the stomach from 2005 to 2015 were enrolled in the study. All patients completed a 5-year follow-up. Patients were divided according to the procedure performed (ESD/subtotal gastrectomy). The two groups were matched for age, gender, ASA score, tumor dimension, and grade of infiltration (mucosa/submucosa). RESULTS After matching, 84 patients (42 per group) were included in the analysis. Peri-procedural morbidity rate was 7.1% and no difference was observed between the two groups (4.8% vs 9.5% for ESD and STG groups, respectively; p = 0.3). Similar results in terms of 5-year OS and DFS were observed for ESD and STG (77.7% vs 71.8% ; p = 0.78 and 74.9% vs 72% ; p = 0.7, respectively). At the multivariate analysis, ASA3 score was recognized as the only negative predictor factor for the 5-year OS (OR 6.2; 95% CI 2.2-16.8; p < 0.001). Regarding the DFS, both ASA3 score (OR 4.4; 95% CI 1.7-10.9; p < 0.001) and submucosal infiltration(OR 5.1; 95% CI 1.2-22.4 ; p = 0.02) were identified as independent risk factors for a worse outcome. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm the safety and feasibility ESD for EGC treatment in a Western setting. In addition, this is one of the few reports showing comparable results both in terms of short- and long-term outcomes between ESD and surgery for intestinal type ECG treatment in Western countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the risk factors for post endoscopic submucosal dissection (post-ESD) bleeding with anticoagulant therapy. AIMS We aimed to investigate the risk factors for post-ESD bleeding for early gastric cancer (EGC) with an emphasis on anticoagulant therapy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 2355 EGCs, including 137 lesions in patients treated under anticoagulants. Clinicopathological findings were evaluated between lesions in patients with and without anticoagulant therapy with propensity score matching analysis. The factors associated with post-ESD bleeding were analyzed with multivariate analysis with a logistic regression method. RESULTS After propensity score matching, post-ESD bleeding was significantly more frequent in lesions of patients with than without anticoagulant therapy (11.7% vs 1.5%, respectively; P = 0.001). A univariate analysis revealed that anticoagulant therapy, heparin bridge therapy, undifferentiated type, deep submucosal invasion, and resected specimen size were associated with post-ESD bleeding. A multivariate analysis revealed anticoagulant therapy (OR 23.1, 95% CI 3.61-147.52) and resected specimen size (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.06) to be independent factors associated with post-ESD bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Anticoagulant therapy and resected specimen size were risk factors associated with post-ESD bleeding for EGC.

Abstract
AIMS To review the effectiveness of the revised Vienna classification (rVC) at predicting histological outcome and defining the postendoscopic resection (ER) clinical management plan of gastro-oesophageal dysplasia and early neoplasia in a UK tertiary-centre population. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study between November 2011 and May 2018. 157 patients from Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust in the UK were included. The primary outcome was the histological results of postsurgical resection (SR) specimens compared with their post-ER rVC. The secondary outcome was overall survival rates of patients with category 4.4 and 5 of the rVC. RESULTS One-hundred and thirteen patients were diagnosed with category ≥4 of the rVC. 23 patients (20.4%) were referred for additional surgery, whereas 69 patients (61.1%) were on endoscopic surveillance only. 60.9% of post-SR specimens (14/23) revealed no residual neoplasia. 78.6% of these cancer-free specimens were classed as category 5 rVC. The overall 7-year survival rate of 25 patients with category ≥4.4 was 68% with causes of mortality not linked to upper gastrointestinal neoplasia. The overall 7-year and 3-year survival rates of category 4.4 and 5 were 73.6% and 50%, respectively, although age and comorbid state played a role. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence of outcomes comparable to other reported cohorts for cases after ER in a single-centre UK population even at rVC 4.4/5. It suggests surgery may not be necessary in all cases due to the lack of residual disease and further refinement of the rVC category 5 may help guide management.

Updated evaluation of endoscopic submucosal dissection versus surgery for early gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Surg 2020; 73:28-41. [PMID: 31783166 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2019.11.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2019] [Revised: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 11/17/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Endoscopic resection (ER) has been a standard treatment modality for early gastric cancer with ignorable risks of lymph node metastasis. As for EGCs within expanded indications, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has considerable advantages over endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) regarding higher rate of en bloc resection, complete resection, but lower risk of local recurrence. Previous meta-analyses comparing ESD with surgery for EGC are scarce and not robust to reach definitive conclusions. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library Databases and Google Scholar through July 2019 to identify studies evaluating ESD vs surgery for EGC. Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to assess the quality of enrolled studies. Patient baseline characteristics, procedure-related and prognosis outcomes, and adverse event data were extracted and pooled for analyses by the Review Manager 5.3 software. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation guidelines (GRADE) were used to assess the quality of evidence. Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) was conducted to weaken random error and enhance the reliability of evidence. RESULTS Totally 18 retrospective studies, involving 5993 patients, were included. ESD benefits were 128.38 min shorter operation duration [95%CI: (-204.68, -52.09), P = 0.001], 7.13 days shorter hospital stay [95%CI: (-7.98, -6.28), P < 0.00001], lower risk of procedure-related death [OR = 0.21, 95%CI: (0.07, 0.68), P = 0.009], lower risk of overall complication [OR = 0.47, 95%CI: (0.34, 0.63), P < 0.00001]. ESD was also associated with lower costs and better quality of life. However, ESD had lower rate of en bloc resection [OR = 0.07, 95%CI: (0.03, 0.21), P < 0.00001], histologically complete resection [OR = 0.07, 95%CI: (0.03, 0.14), P < 0.00001], curative resection [OR = 0.06, 95%CI: (0.01, 0.27), P = 0.002], and higher rate of local recurrence [OR = 5.42, 95%CI: (2.91, 10.11), P < 0.00001], metachronous cancer [OR = 10.84, 95%CI: (6.43, 18.26), P < 0.00001], synchronous cancer [OR = 6.59, 95%CI: (1.96, 22.1), P = 0.002]. ESD also led to lower disease-free survival [HR = 4.58, 95%CI: (2.79, 7.52), P < 0.00001] and recurrence-free survival [HR = 1.99, 95%CI: (1.38, 2.87), P = 0.0002]. No significant differences in overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) between ESD and surgery were observed. CONCLUSIONS ESD offers a method of less expensive, less trauma, faster recovery and better quality of life compared to surgery for EGC. However, ESD is associated with higher risk of recurrence without compromising OS and DSS. Strict and careful surveillance after ESD is needed. Recurrent EGCs following ESD can usually be detected in early stage and successfully managed by repeated ESD. Accordingly, ESD technique provides an alternative to surgical resection for highly selected EGC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, increased evidence indicated that additional surgery should be performed in highly selected patients with non-curative endoscopic resection. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis for the patients with non-curative endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer. METHODS The related studies were identified by searching PubMed and Embase databases. According to the status of lymph node metastasis, all patients were classified into node-negative group and node-positive group. The relevant clinicopathologic factors were extracted, and the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) were assessed using a fixed effects model or random effects model. RESULTS A total of nine relevant studies involving 1720 early gastric cancer patients who underwent additional surgery following the non-curative endoscopic resection were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that deeper submucosal invasion (SM2) (OR 3.44, 95% CI 1.94-6.10, P < 0.001; I2 = 0%), positive vertical margin (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.57-3.53, P < 0.001; I2 = 0%), lymphatic invasion (OR 11.06, 95% CI 5.47-22.36, P < 0.001; I2 = 0%), and vascular invasion (OR 2.79, 95% CI 1.68-4.64, P < 0.001; I2 = 0%) were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis for these patients. However, horizontal margin, tumor size, differentiation type, and ulceration were not identified as risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION Lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, deeper submucosal invasion (SM2), and positive vertical margin should be strongly considered in selecting the candidates for additional surgery treatment.

Long-term outcomes and prognostic factors with non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer in elderly patients aged ≥ 75 years. Gastric Cancer 2019; 22:838-844. [PMID: 30560475 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-018-00913-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2018] [Accepted: 12/11/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors with non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in elderly patients with early gastric cancer. METHODS Clinicopathological findings and long-term outcomes were evaluated in 87 patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) aged ≥ 75 years who were treated with non-curative ESD. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS During the follow-up period, among 27 patients who died of any cause, only one patient died of gastric cancer. OS probabilities after 3 and 5 years were 89.7% and 79.3%, respectively. Univariate analyses revealed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 2-3, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥ 3, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio ≥ 3.3, prognostic nutritional index < 44.8, distal tumor location and macroscopically depressed or flat configuration were associated with poor OS. Cox multivariate analysis revealed high CCI (≥ 3) to be an independent prognostic factor associated with OS (hazard ratio: 2.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-6.49, P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS CCI may be a useful parameter for decision-making regarding additional surgery for elderly patients with gastric cancer treated by non-curative ESD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the last decade the implementation of the new technique of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and the rapid progression of laparoscopic gastric cancer (LAG) resection with an adequate lymphadenectomy (LAD) have played an increasing role in the treatment of patients with early stage gastric cancer (EGC). OBJECTIVE A systematic review of the currently available data in the literature was carried out to evaluate the contemporary surgical management for treatment of EGC. RESULTS Endoscopic resection (ER) of mucosal T1 gastric cancer (T1m) in accordance with the German guidelines on resection criteria is a widely accepted treatment option, if a definitive R0 resection can be achieved. Excellent en bloc and R0 results in more than 90% of these cases have been shown particularly for ESD. In contrast to T1m gastric carcinomas with a low risk of lymph node metastases (approximately 3%), nodal involvement reaches more than 20% for submucosal infiltrated EGC (T1sm). For this reason, a surgical resection with adequate LAD is further recommended in all cases of non-curative ER or any T1sm gastric cancer. In seven randomized controlled trials and a series of meta-analyses including high-quality non-randomized trials, significant benefits in short-term postoperative outcome have been demonstrated for LAG in comparison to open gastrectomy (OG) in the treatment of EGC. The general morbidity was also significantly lower in LAG than in OG. The 30-day mortality and long-term survival outcome were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION The use of ESD should be the standard treatment for T1m EGC within the guidelines criteria. For non-curative ESD and T1sm gastric cancer, surgical resection with LAD is recommended. The LAG is a technically safe, feasible, and favorable approach in terms of faster recovery compared to OG. The long-term survival outcome is comparable between LAG and OG for EGC.

Different risk factors between early and late cancer recurrences in patients without additional surgery after noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer. Gastrointest Endosc 2019; 89:950-960.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cancer recurrence is observed in some patients without additional radical surgery after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) that does not fulfill the curability criteria for early gastric cancer (EGC), categorized as "noncurative resection" or "curability C-2" in the guidelines. However, time to cancer recurrence is different in such patients. Thus, we aimed to identify the risk factors of early and late cancer recurrences in these patients. METHODS Between 2000 and 2011, this multicenter study analyzed 905 patients who were followed up without additional radical surgery after ESD for EGC categorized as curability C-2. We evaluated the risk factors for early and late cancer recurrences, separately, after ESD. The cut-off value was defined at 2 years. RESULTS Time to cancer recurrence in the enrolled patients showed a bimodal pattern, and the 5-year cancer recurrence rate was 3.2%. Multivariate Cox analyses revealed that lymphatic invasion (hazard ratio [HR], 8.56; P = .003) was the sole independent risk factor for early cancer recurrence. Regarding late cancer recurrence, vascular invasion (HR, 4.50; P = .039) was an independent risk factor, and lymphatic invasion tended to be a risk factor (HR, 3.63; P = .069). CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study with a large cohort demonstrated that lymphatic invasion is mainly associated with early cancer recurrence; however, vascular invasion was a risk factor only for late recurrence in patients without additional treatment after ESD for EGC categorized as curability C-2. This finding may contribute to decision making for treatment strategies after ESD, especially for patients with a relatively short life expectancy.

Abstract
Background and objective The role of additional gastrectomy after non-curative endoscopic resection remains uncertain. The present meta-analysis aimed to explore the risk factors for early-stage gastric-cancer patients after non-curative endoscopic resection and evaluate the efficacy of additional gastrectomy. Methods Relevant studies that reported additional gastrectomy after non-curative endoscopic resection were comprehensively searched in MedLine, Web of Science and EMBASE. We first investigated the risk factors for residual tumor and lymph-node metastasis after non-curative endoscopic resection and then analysed the survival outcome, including 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year disease-free survival, of additional gastrectomy. Results Twenty-one studies comprising 4870 cases were included in the present study. We found that residual tumor was associated with larger tumor size (>3 cm) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.81, P < 0.001), undifferentiated tumor type (OR = 1.78, P = 0.011) and positive horizontal margin (OR = 9.78, P < 0.001). Lymph-node metastasis was associated with larger tumor size (>3 cm) (OR = 1.73, P < 0.001), elevated tumor type (OR = 1.60, P = 0.035), deeper tumor invasion (>SM1) (OR = 2.68, P < 0.001), lymphatic invasion (OR = 4.65, P < 0.001) and positive vertical margin (OR = 2.30, P < 0.001). Patients who underwent additional gastrectomy had longer 5-year OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.34, P < 0.001), 5-year disease-free survival (HR = 0.52, P = 0.001) and 5-year disease-specific survival (HR = 0.50, P < 0.001) than those who did not. Moreover, elderly patients also benefited from additional gastrectomy regarding 5-year OS (HR = 0.41, P = 0.001). Conclusions Additional gastrectomy with lymph-node dissection might improve the survival of early-stage gastric-cancer patients after non-curative endoscopic resection. However, risk stratification should be performed to avoid excessive treatment.

Abstract
If a lesion does not meet the expanded indication criteria for treatment with endoscopic therapy for early gastric cancer or has a positive resection margin, it is regarded as suitable for non-curative resection. Non-curative resection is closely related to the risk of local recurrence, lymph node metastasis, and poor prognosis. If the result is confirmed as non-curative resection, additional treatment should be considered depending on the risks of residual tumor, local recurrence, and lymph node metastasis. As lymphatic invasion is the most important risk factor of recurrence and poor prognosis, surgical treatment should be considered if lymphatic invasion is present. If patients are not suitable for additional surgery owing to old age or coexisting severe disease, close surveillance can be an alternative treatment option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival benefit of additional surgery after non-curative endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer is a matter of debate. This meta-analysis is intended to draw a convincing conclusion on this issue based on data currently available. METHODS A systematic review of PubMed/Medline database was performed from 2010 to 2018 for studies comparing survival outcomes of additional surgery versus simple follow-up after non-curative endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer. Differences between groups were calculated using either the fixed effects model or random effects model. RESULTS Ten retrospective studies with 4225 patients met the inclusion criteria. Additional surgery significantly provided better 5 years overall survival [odds ratios (OR) 3.50, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.89-4.24] and disease-specific survival (OR 3.99, 95% CI 2.50-6.36). CONCLUSIONS Additional surgery offers survival benefits to patients undergoing non-curative endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have established a risk-scoring system, termed the "eCura system," for the risk stratification of lymph node metastasis in patients who have received noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC). We aimed to clarify whether this system contributes to the selection of patients requiring radical surgery after ESD. METHODS Between 2000 and 2011, 1,969 patients with noncurative ESD for EGC were included in this multicenter study. Depending on the treatment strategy after ESD, we had patients with no additional treatment (n = 905) and those with radical surgery after ESD (n = 1,064). After the application of the eCura system to these patients, cancer recurrence and cancer-specific mortality in each risk category of the system were compared between the two patient groups. RESULTS Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that in the high-risk category, cancer recurrence was significantly higher (hazard ratio = 3.13, p = 0.024) and cancer-specific mortality tended to be higher (hazard ratio = 2.66, p = 0.063) in patients with no additional treatment than in those with radical surgery after ESD, whereas no significant differences were observed in the intermediate-risk and low-risk categories. In addition, cancer-specific survival in the low-risk category was high in both patient groups (99.6 and 99.7%). A limitation of this study is that it included a small number of cases with undifferentiated-type EGC (292 cases). CONCLUSIONS The eCura system is a useful aid for selecting the appropriate treatment strategy after noncurative ESD for EGC. However, caution is needed when applying this system to patients with undifferentiated-type EGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes with noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) and surveillance strategies such as the optimal time for additional endoscopic treatment in patients with noncurative ESD. METHODS Of 2527 patients who underwent gastric ESD for EGC, 512 (20.3%) patients with noncurative resection were reviewed. Noncurative resection is defined as positive resected margins on histology, lymphovascular infiltration, or beyond the expanded criteria for ESD. RESULTS The mean ± standard deviation follow-up duration was 79.0 ± 55.7 months. A total of 264 patients (51.6%) and 50 patients (9.8%) underwent surgery and endoscopic treatment after noncurative resection, respectively, whereas 198 patients (38.7%) were observed. Cancer-specific survival and disease-free survival rates were significantly different among the surgery, other endoscopic treatment, and observation groups (96.7%, 86.8%, and 86.2%, respectively; P =.030; and 92.5%, 73.6%, and 63.0%, respectively; P < .001). When patients who underwent surgery were excluded, the disease-free survival rate of recurrence was not significantly different between the endoscopic treatment and observation groups (73.6% vs 63.0%; P = .548). To exclude the potential for the presence of lymph node metastasis, we further analyzed disease-free survival of local recurrence by comparing the patients with only a positive lateral resection margin. The disease-free survival rate was higher in the endoscopic treatment group than in the observation group (89.2% vs 69.1%; P = .023). Moreover, additional endoscopic treatment within 3 months showed significant associations with lower risk of local recurrence on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 0.017; 95% confidence interval, 0.002-0.260; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS In patients with noncurative ESD, additional surgery showed a better long-term outcome; moreover, when a positive lateral resection margin was the only noncurative factor, additional endoscopic treatment within 3 months could be considered to improve disease-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Application of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for undifferentiated-type early gastric cancers (EGCs) remains controversial owing to limited data regarding long-term outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of ESD for undifferentiated-type EGCs that meet the expanded criteria (EC). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 66 patients who underwent ESD for undifferentiated-type EGC between January 2005 and December 2014. We evaluated the rates of en bloc, complete, and curative resections along with overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Of the 66 patients, the EC group included 38 patients and the beyond-EC group included 28 patients. The overall rates of en bloc, complete, and curative resection of the 66 lesions were 92.4% (61/66), 65.2% (43/66), and 48.5% (32/66), respectively. Of the 34 patients with non-curative resection, 18 underwent additional surgery. Local remnant cancer was detected in 1 patient (1/18, 5.6%), and none of the 18 patients had lymph node metastasis. On multivariate analysis, tumors > 2 cm [odd ratio (OR) 6.183, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.279-29.880, p = 0.023) and submucosal invasion depth (OR 6.226, 95% CI 1.881-20.606, p = 0.003) were independent predictors of incomplete resection. All 26 patients with more than 1 year of follow-up after curative resection survived without any evidence of local or distant recurrences over a median follow-up period of 36 months. The OS, DSS, and RFS rates of patients with curative ESD were 93.8, 100, and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ESD may have favorable long-term outcomes in patients with undifferentiated-type EGC after curative resection.

Abstract
The cases of non-curative endoscopic resection (NCR) of early gastric cancer have increased due to the widespread use of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). NCR is associated with augmenting chances of local recurrence and lymph node metastasis (LNM). Therefore, some additional treatment strategies after NCR are needed. Treatment strategies for NCR should be determined by considering the risk of residual tumor or local recurrence and LNM. Additional surgical treatment such as gastrectomy and lymph node dissection are recommended in patients who have high-risk of LNM. Close observation without additional treatment is considered for selected patients with a less possibility of local recurrence or LNM. Also it may be suggested if there is no or less benefit from surgery in elderly patients or patients with underlying diseases. Additional endoscopic procedures including ESD, endoscopic mucosal resection or argon coagulation therapy are suggested alternatively for highly selected patients not at risk of LNM based on the absolute or expanded criteria of ESD.
