Improvement of perioperative outcomes of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) resections and the influence of minimal invasive surgery. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108479. [PMID: 38901292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108479] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Safety of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) is still under debate since it might increase the risk of tumour rupture, especially in larger tumours. The aim of this study was to investigate trends in treatment and perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing resections of gastric GISTs over time. METHODS This was a multicentre retrospective study of consecutive patients who underwent wedge resection or partial gastrectomy for localized gastric GIST at five GIST reference centres between January 2009 and January 2022. To evaluate changes in treatment and perioperative outcomes over time, patients were divided into four equal periods. Perioperative outcomes were analysed separately and as a novel composite measure textbook outcome (TO). RESULTS In total 385 patients were included. Patient and tumour characteristics did not change over time, except for median age (62-65-68-68 years, p = 0.002). The proportion of MIS increased (4.0%-9.8%-37.4%-53.0 %, p < 0.001). Postoperative complications (Clavien Dindo ≥2; 22%-15%-11%-10 %, p = 0.146), duration of admission (6-6-5-4 days, p < 0.001) and operating time (92-94-77-73 min, p = 0.007) decreased over time while TO increased (54.0%- 52.7%-65.9%-76.0 %, p < 0.001). No change was seen in perioperative ruptures (6.0%- 3.6%-1.6%-3.0 %, p = 0.499). MIS was correlated with less CD ≥ 2 complications (p = 0.006), shorter duration of admission (p < 0.001) and more TO (p < 0.001). Similar results were observed in tumours ≤5 cm and >5 cm. CONCLUSION A larger percentage of gastric GIST were treated with MIS over time. MIS was correlated with less complications, shorter duration of admission and more TO. Tumour rupture rates remained low over time.

Abstract
Background: Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) represent a subset of gastrointestinal tumors predominantly found in the stomach. Despite their rarity, these tumors carry significant implications for patient health and management. GISTs are potentially malignant tumors with unpredictable progression. They originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal, which are positioned between the intramural neurons and the smooth muscle cells of the digestive tract. These tumors are characterized primarily by mutations in the c-Kit gene, as well as other mutations such as those in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) gene. Methods: Our comprehensive search across five databases initially yielded 2976 articles. After eliminating 197 duplicates, we screened the titles and abstracts of 2779 articles, excluding 2692 for not meeting the inclusion criteria. During the full-text screening, 16 more articles were excluded. Ultimately, 71 papers met the inclusion criteria and were included in our analysis. Results: Due to differences in study designs, inclusion criteria for patients, and reported outcomes, a meta-analysis was not conducted. The accurate diagnosis of GIST is established through histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. Histopathologically, GISTs are classified into three main types: spindle cell, epithelioid, and mixed. The therapeutic management of GIST involves surgery, endoscopic treatment, and chemotherapy. Conclusions: The prognosis for GIST patients depends on various factors, including risk category, disease stage, applied treatments, and recurrence post-treatment. A significant recent advancement comes from artificial intelligence, which can be increasingly involved in both the diagnosis and treatment of this tumor.

Neoadjuvant Imatinib in Locally Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) is Effective and Safe: Results from a Prospective Single-Center Study with 108 Patients. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:8660-8668. [PMID: 37814179 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14346-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant imatinib is considered for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) when decreased tumor size provides less extensive surgery and higher R0 resection rates. This study evaluates the effectivity and safety of neoadjuvant imatinib for large or locally advanced GIST. PATIENTS AND METHODS From the prospective database of the Dutch GIST Consortium, all patients who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant imatinib at our center between 2009 and 2022 were selected. Independent and blinded assessment of surgical strategy was performed by two surgeons, based on anonymized computed tomography (CT) scans before and after neoadjuvant imatinib. RESULTS Of 113 patients that received neoadjuvant imatinib, 108 (95%) [mean age 61.6, standard deviation (SD) 11.5, 54% male] underwent a GIST resection. Of all GISTs, 67% was localized in the stomach and 25% in the duodenum or small intestine. In 74% of the patients with GIST, a KIT exon 11 mutation was found. Decreased tumor size was seen in 95 (88%) patients. Having a KIT exon 11 mutation [odds ratio (OR) 5.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67-19.1, p < 0.01] or not having a mutation (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.89, p = 0.04) were positive and negative predictive values for partial response, respectively. In 55 (51%) patients, there was deescalation of surgical strategy after neoadjuvant imatinib. Surgical complications were documented in 16 (15%) patients (n = 8, grade II; n = 5, grade IIIa; n = 3, grade IIIb) and R0 resection was accomplished in 95 (89%) patients. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival were 80% and 91%, respectively. CONCLUSION This study shows that neoadjuvant imatinib is effective and safe for patients with large or locally advanced GIST.

Long-term outcomes of a phase II study of neoadjuvant imatinib in large gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the stomach. Gastric Cancer 2023; 26:775-787.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant treatment is recommended for large GISTs due to their friability and risk of extensive operations; however, studies on the indications and long-term results of this approach are lacking. METHODS Patients with large (≥ 10 cm) gastric GISTs were enrolled from multiple centers in Korea and Japan after a pathologic confirmation of c-KIT ( +) GISTs. Imatinib (400 mg/d) was given for 6-9 months preoperatively, and R0 resection was intended. Postoperative imatinib was given for at least 12 months and recommended for 3 years. RESULTS A total of 56 patients were enrolled in this study, with 53 patients receiving imatinib treatment at least once and 48 patients undergoing R0 resection. The 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 94.3% and 61.6%, respectively. Even patients with stable disease by RECIST criteria responded well to preoperative imatinib treatment and could undergo R0 resection, with most being evaluated as partial response by CHOI criteria. The optimal reduction in tumor size was achieved with preoperative imatinib treatment for 24 weeks or more. No resumption of imatinib treatment was identified as an independent prognostic factor for recurrence after R0 resection. No additional size criteria for a higher risk of recurrence were identified in this cohort with a size of 10 cm or more. CONCLUSIONS Neoadjuvant imatinib treatment is an effective treatment option for gastric GISTs 10 cm or larger. Postoperative imatinib treatment is recommended even after R0 resection to minimize recurrence.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal origin, and a paradigmatic model for a successful rational development of targeted therapies in cancer. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors with activity against KIT/PDGFRA in both localized and advanced stages has remarkably improved the survival in a disease formerly deemed resistant to all systemic therapies. These guidelines are elaborated by the conjoint effort of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) and the Spanish Sarcoma Research Group (GEIS) and provide a multidisciplinary and updated consensus for the diagnosis and treatment of GIST patients. We strongly encourage that the managing of these patients should be performed within multidisciplinary teams in reference centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared the surgical outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). METHODS We performed single-incision gastric wedge resection on prospectively-enrolled 15 consecutive patients with gastric GIST between November 2020 and April 2022 in a single tertiary center. The early perioperative outcomes of these patients were compared to those of patients who underwent CLS. The indications did not differ from those for conventional laparoscopic procedures for gastric GIST. RESULTS In total, 30 patients were assigned to the SILS (n = 15) and CLS (n = 15) groups. There were no significant differences in the estimated blood loss and intraoperative blood transfusion between the SILS and CLS groups. There were no intraoperative complications or conversions to multiple-port or open surgery in the SILS group. Proximally located tumors were more commonly treated with CLS than with SILS (P = 0.045). GISTs located in the greater curvature were more commonly treated with SILS than with CLS, although the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.08). The mean incision length in the SILS group was 4.1 cm shorter than that in the CLS group (3.2 ± 0.7 and 7.3 ± 5.2 cm, respectively, P = 0.01). The postoperative analgesic dose was significantly lower in the SILS than in the CLS group (0.4 ± 1.4 and 2.1 ± 2.3, respectively P = 0.01). Also, the duration of postoperative use of analgesic was shorter in SILS than in CLS (0.4 ± 0.7 and 2.0 ± 1.8, respectively, P = 0.01). There were no significant differences in the early postoperative complications between the groups. CONCLUSIONS SILS is as safe, feasible, and effective for the treatment of gastric GIST as CLS with comparable postoperative complications, pain, and cosmesis. Moreover, SILS can be considered without being affected by the type or location of the tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The resection of large gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) by laparoscopic has been controversial. Extending from our prior study, the long-term oncological outcome of laparoscopic resection of large (5-8 cm) gastric GISTs was reported. METHODS From 2002 to 2018, a consecutive 66 patients with gastric GISTs of 5-8 cm were treated at National Taiwan University Hospital. Among them, 30 patients received open surgery, and 36 received laparoscopic surgery. The clinicopathological data, peri-operative and oncological outcomes were compared between groups. RESULTS The clinical demographics including sex, age, BMI, tumor locations and ratio of wedge resection were similar between groups. The mean tumor size was 6.0 ± 0.83 cm versus 6.3 ± 1.07 cm (Open vs. Laparoscopic, p = 0.3). The operation time, blood loss, and post-operative complications, were also similar. The mean hospital stay was shorter in the laparoscopic group (8.8 ± 2.5 days) than in the open group (12.0 ± 8.9 days), though not significantly different. The median follow-up time was 108 ± 58 months (97 ± 50 in laparoscopic group; 122 ± 64 in open group). All except three patients remain disease-free. One in the open group and two in the laparoscopic group had recurrence of tumor, and they were stable of disease under Imatinib treatment. Eight patients died in non-GIST causes during follow-up. The 5-year recurrence-free survival were 100% for the open and 94.2% for the laparoscopic group (p = 0.2). CONCLUSION Our data showed that laparoscopic surgery for gastric GIST between 5 and 8 cm was safe and oncologically feasible.
