Gastrointest Endosc 2024; 100:55-63.e1. [PMID: 38272280 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2024.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Efforts have been made to develop an endoscopic screening system incorporating serologic gastric cancer (GC) risk stratification (ABC classification) alongside annual population-based GC screening using barium. We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare GC detection rates between the Ba-Endo group, which underwent annual barium tests for primary screening followed by detailed endoscopic examinations, and the ABC-Endo group, where endoscopy intervals were determined based on individual gastric cancer risk in the ABC classification. METHODS In total, 1206 individuals from Yurihonjo and Nikaho City, Akita Prefecture, were randomized through the minimization method using sex and age as allocation factors. The intervention study was conducted for both groups over 5 years. The Ba-Endo group received annual barium tests, and the ABC-Endo group underwent EGD at different intervals: group A, EGD only at entry; group B, EGD once every 3 years; group C, EGD once every 2 years; and group D, EGD every year. RESULTS There were 24 detected GC lesions, with a GC detection rate of 1.9%. GC detection rates in the Ba-Endo and ABC-Endo groups were 2.0% and 1.8%, respectively, with no significant differences between groups (P = 1.0). However, the rate of GC cured by endoscopic resection alone was 41.6% in the Ba-Endo group and was significantly higher at 90.9% in the ABC-Endo group (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS There were no differences between the Ba-Endo and ABC-Endo groups in GC detection rates. However, the rate of detected GCs that could be cured by endoscopic resection alone was significantly higher in the ABC-Endo group. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN000005962.).

The Effect of Nationwide Organized Cancer Screening Programs on Gastric Cancer Mortality: A Synthetic Control Study. Gastroenterology 2024; 166:503-514. [PMID: 38007053 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2023.11.286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Nationwide organized gastric cancer (GC) screening programs have been running for decades in South Korea and Japan. This study conducted a quasi-experimental analysis to assess the population impact of these programs on GC mortality. METHODS We used the flexible synthetic control method (SCM) to estimate the effect of the screening programs on age-standardized GC mortality and other upper gastrointestinal (UGI) diseases (esophageal cancer and peptic ulcer) among people aged ≥40 years. World Health Organization mortality data and country-level covariates from the World Bank and the Global Burden of Diseases study were used for the analyses. We compared postintervention trends in outcome with the counterfactual trend of the synthetic control and estimated average postintervention rate ratios (RRs) with associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A series of sensitivity analyses were conducted. RESULTS The preintervention fits were acceptable for the analyses of South Korea and Japan's GC mortality but poor for Japan's other UGI disease mortality. The average postintervention RRs were 0.83 (95% CI, 0.71-0.96) for GC mortality and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.57-0.90) for other UGI disease mortality in South Korea. The RR reached 0.59 by the 15th year after the initiation of nationwide screening. For Japan, the average RRs were 0.97 (95% CI, 0.88-1.07) for GC mortality and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.68-1.28) for other UGI disease mortality. Sensitivity analysis reveals the result for Japan may potentially be biased. CONCLUSIONS South Korea's nationwide GC screening has apparent benefits, whereas the Japanese program's effectiveness is uncertain. The experiences of South Korea and Japan could serve as a reference for other countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the risk of gastric cancer can be stratified according to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) IgG antibody titer and pepsinogen levels (ABC classification), a population-based gastric cancer screening system combining serological tests and endoscopy has not been introduced. This study aimed to compare the total testing cost per participant between the ABC classification method and the existing protocol. METHODS Using the minimization method with sex and age as allocation factors, 1206 participants were randomly assigned to the following two methods for a 5-year intervention: barium photofluorography as primary examination followed by detailed examination with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (Ba-Endo) and risk-based upper gastrointestinal endoscopy by ABC classification (ABC-Endo). The primary endpoint was the total testing cost per participant over a 5-year period. The secondary endpoint was the expense required to detect one gastric cancer. RESULTS The total testing cost per participant was 39,711 yen in Ba-Endo (604 participants) and 45,227 yen in ABC-Endo (602 participants), with the latter being significantly higher (p < 0.001). During the intervention period, gastric cancer was found in 11 and eight participants in Ba-Endo and ABC-Endo, respectively. The expenses required to detect one gastric cancer were 2,240,931 yen in Ba-Endo and 3,486,662 yen in ABC-Endo. CONCLUSIONS The testing cost per participant turned out to be higher in the ABC-Endo group than in the Ba-Endo group. This superiority trial, based on the hypothesis that the cost of testing is lower for ABC-Endo than for Ba-Endo, was rejected.

Endoscopic resection of gastric low-grade dysplasia with high risk factors is associated with decreased advanced neoplasia: a single-center retrospective cohort study. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-09968-x. [PMID: 36890418 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-09968-x] [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: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The natural course of gastric low-grade dysplasia (LGD) remains unclear, and there are inconsistent management recommendations among guidelines and consensus. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the incidence of advanced neoplasia in patients with gastric LGD and identify the related risk factors. METHODS Cases of biopsy demonstrated LGD (BD-LGD) at our center from 2010 to 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Risk factors related to histological progression were identified, and outcomes of patients based on risk stratification were evaluated. RESULTS Ninety-seven (23.0%) of 421 included BD-LGD lesions were diagnosed as advanced neoplasia. Among 409 superficial BD-LGD lesions, lesion in the upper third of the stomach, H. pylori infection, larger size, and narrow band imaging (NBI)-positive findings were independent risk factors of progression. NBI-positive lesions and NBI-negative lesions with or without other risk factors had 44.7%, 1.7%, and 0.0% risk of advanced neoplasia, respectively. Invisible lesions, visible lesions (VLs) without a clear margin, and VLs with a clear margin and size ≤ 10 mm, or > 10 mm had 4.8%, 7.9%, 16.7%, and 55.7% risk of advanced neoplasia, respectively. In addition, endoscopic resection decreased the risk of cancer (P < 0.001) and advanced neoplasia (P < 0.001) in patients with NBI-positive lesions, but not in NBI-negative patients. Similar results were found in patients with VLs with clear margin and size > 10 mm. Moreover, NBI-positive lesions had higher sensitivity and lower specificity for predicting advanced neoplasia than VLs with a clear margin and size > 10 mm determined by white-light endoscopy (97.6% vs. 62.7%, P < 0.001; and 63.0% vs. 85.6%, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION Progression of superficial BD-LGD is associated with NBI-positive lesions, as well as with VLs with a clear margin (size > 10 mm) if NBI is unavailable, and selective resection of those lesions offers benefits for patients by decreasing the risk of advanced neoplasia.

Abstract
Objective This study was aimed at investigating the screening behaviors of the first-degree relatives (FDRs) of Chinese patients with gastric cancer as well as the factors influencing screening behaviors. Methods In a cross-sectional design, 197 FDRs of patients with gastric cancer were enrolled at the Peking University Cancer Hospital. Four questionnaires were used: a demographic questionnaire, a knowledge questionnaire of risk factors and warning symptoms for gastric cancer, the Gastric Cancer Health Belief Scale, and a questionnaire screening for behavioral motivators and barriers. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors influencing screening behaviors. Results Among the 197 FDRs of patients with gastric cancer, 30.96% (61/197) of patients had undergone gastric cancer screening. Among those who participated in gastric cancer screening, the most common screening methods were gastroscopy and the Helicobacter pylori testing, both of which were applied in 63.93% (39/61) of participants, followed by serum tumor marker testing (55.74%, 34/61) and barium meal examination of the upper digestive tract (29.51%, 18/61). The gastric cancer risk factor knowledge score was 9.02 ± 3.95, and the gastric cancer warning symptom knowledge score was 4.39 ± 1.85. The participants' knowledge score was moderate, at 13.41 ± 5.16. The total health beliefs score was low, at 88.91 ± 12.66. Factors independently associated with the screening behaviors of FDRs included educational background, knowledge of gastric cancer risk factors, and health motivation (P < 0.05). Conclusions The participation rate in gastric cancer screening of FDRs of patients with gastric cancer was relatively low and was affected by multiple factors. Our results highlighted the urgent need for educational campaigns and precision interventions to raise gastric cancer awareness.

Allium vegetable intake associated with the risk of incident gastric cancer: a continuous follow-up study of a randomized intervention trial. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 117:22-32.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allium vegetable components have antibacterial, antioxidative, and immune modulation properties, thus potentially exhibiting antitumor effects. Despite evidence from case-control studies, prospective studies linking allium vegetables with gastric cancer (GC) have been sparse. OBJECTIVE In a prospective study, we examined whether allium vegetable intake would change the risk of GC occurrence and whether the associations would be modified by vitamin supplementation, garlic supplementation, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment. METHODS The study was conducted on the basis of the Shandong Intervention Trial, a randomized, placebo-controlled, factorial-designed trial (1995-2003) in a well-recognized high-risk area for GC in China. Participants were continuously followed up to December 2017 for 22.3 y (1995-2017). A total of 3229 subjects were included, with information on the intake of allium vegetables (garlic vegetables and scallions), collected by structured questionnaires in 1994. The associations of total and individual allium vegetable intake with the risk of GC were examined, respectively. RESULTS During the follow-up, 144 incident cases of GC were identified. Garlic vegetable intake was associated with a decreased risk of incident GC (P-trend = 0.02; OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.70, 0.98, per 1 kg/y increment), whereas scallion intake showed no association (P-trend = 0.80). An inverse association of the risk of GC with total allium vegetable and garlic vegetable intake was particularly stronger among those receiving the placebo for vitamin supplementation or garlic supplementation, indicating potential effect modifications by nutritional supplementation on allium vegetable intake and the risk of developing GC. Similar findings were found for analyses of the combined prevalence of dysplasia or GC. CONCLUSIONS We found a significant reduction in the risk of developing GC with increasing dietary intake of allium vegetables, particularly garlic vegetables. The findings add to the literature on the potential inverse association of garlic vegetable intake with the risk of GC, therefore holding public health implications for dietary recommendations. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00339768.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is important for the detection of curable gastric cancer (GC). However, there are no appropriate surveillance data during routine endoscopic inspections. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors of pT1b or deeper GC detection during surveillance endoscopy. METHODS This was a retrospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study conducted in 15 Japanese hospitals. We retrospectively analyzed patients with GC who had previously undergone surveillance endoscopy at each institution from January 2014 to March 2020. Patients who had undergone gastrectomy, non-infection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), and those with intervals <3 months or >10 years from a previous endoscopy were excluded. RESULTS In total, 1085 patients with GCs detected during surveillance endoscopy were enrolled. The multivariate logistic analysis revealed that current Hp infection (odds ratio [OR] 2.18; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.50-3.16) and a surveillance interval of >1.5 years (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.35-2.84) were independent risk factors for pT1b or deeper GC. The 5-year disease-specific survival (5y-DSS) rate of GC was significantly lower in patients with surveillance interval of >1.5 years than in those with surveillance interval of ≤1.5 years (93.7% vs. 98.3%, P < 0.001). Similarly, the 5y-DSS rate of GC was significantly lower in patients with active Hp infection than in those without (93.7% vs. 99.4%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In this study, a surveillance interval of >1.5 years and current Hp infection were independent risk factors for detecting pT1b or deeper GC. Additionally, these factors were poor prognostic factors of the detected GC during surveillance endoscopy.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading contributor to global cancer incidence and mortality. According to the GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates of incidence and mortality for 36 cancers in 185 countries produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), GC ranks fifth and fourth, respectively, and seriously threatens the survival and health of people all over the world. Therefore, how to effectively treat GC has become an urgent problem for medical personnel and scientific workers at this stage. Due to the unobvious early symptoms and the influence of some adverse factors such as tumor heterogeneity and low immunogenicity, patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) cannot benefit significantly from treatments such as radical surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. As an emerging cancer immunotherapy, oncolytic virotherapies (OVTs) can not only selectively lyse cancer cells, but also induce a systemic antitumor immune response. This unique ability to turn unresponsive 'cold' tumors into responsive 'hot' tumors gives them great potential in GC therapy. This review integrates most experimental studies and clinical trials of various oncolytic viruses (OVs) in the diagnosis and treatment of GC. It also exhaustively introduces the concrete mechanism of invading GC cells and the viral genome composition of adenovirus and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). At the end of the article, some prospects are put forward to determine the developmental directions of OVTs for GC in the future.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancy and leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Due to asymptomatic or only nonspecific early symptoms, GC patients are usually in the advanced stage at first diagnosis and miss the best opportunity of treatment. Immunotherapies, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have dramatically changed the landscape of available treatment options for advanced-stage cancer patients. However, with regards to existing ICIs, the clinical benefit of monotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is quite limited. Therefore, it is urgent to explore an optimal target for the treatment of GC. In this review, we summarize the expression profiles and prognostic value of 20 common immune checkpoint-related genes in GC from Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database, and then find that the adenosinergic pathway plays an indispensable role in the occurrence and development of GC. Moreover, we discuss the pathophysiological function of adenosinergic pathway in cancers. The accumulation of extracellular adenosine inhibits the normal function of immune effector cells and facilitate the effect of immunosuppressive cells to foster GC cells proliferation and migration. Finally, we provide insights into potential clinical application of adenosinergic-targeting therapies for GC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prompt diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) is crucial for improving patient survival. However, most previous computer-aided-diagnosis (CAD) systems did not concretize or explain diagnostic theories. We aimed to develop a logical anthropomorphic artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic system named ENDOANGEL-LA (logical anthropomorphic) for EGCs under magnifying image enhanced endoscopy (M-IEE). METHODS We retrospectively collected data for 692 patients and 1897 images from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China between Nov 15, 2016 and May 7, 2019. The images were randomly assigned to the training set and test set by patient with a ratio of about 4:1. ENDOANGEL-LA was developed based on feature extraction combining quantitative analysis, deep learning (DL), and machine learning (ML). 11 diagnostic feature indexes were integrated into seven ML models, and an optimal model was selected. The performance of ENDOANGEL-LA was evaluated and compared with endoscopists and sole DL models. The satisfaction of endoscopists on ENDOANGEL-LA and sole DL model was also compared. FINDINGS Random forest showed the best performance, and demarcation line and microstructures density were the most important feature indexes. The accuracy of ENDOANGEL-LA in images (88.76%) was significantly higher than that of sole DL model (82.77%, p = 0.034) and the novices (71.63%, p<0.001), and comparable to that of the experts (88.95%). The accuracy of ENDOANGEL-LA in videos (87.00%) was significantly higher than that of the sole DL model (68.00%, p<0.001), and comparable to that of the endoscopists (89.00%). The accuracy (87.45%, p<0.001) of novices with the assistance of ENDOANGEL-LA was significantly improved. The satisfaction of endoscopists on ENDOANGEL-LA was significantly higher than that of sole DL model. INTERPRETATION We established a logical anthropomorphic system (ENDOANGEL-LA) that can diagnose EGC under M-IEE with diagnostic theory concretization, high accuracy, and good explainability. It has the potential to increase interactivity between endoscopists and CADs, and improve trust and acceptability of endoscopists for CADs.
