An S, Eo W. Preoperative abnormal bone mineral density as a prognostic indicator in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A cohort study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e38251. [PMID: 38788023 PMCID: PMC11124639 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Predicting postgastrectomy relapse and mortality in patients with gastric cancer (GC) remains challenging, with limitations to traditional staging systems such as the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system. This study aimed to investigate the impact of preoperative Hounsfield unit (HU) values, which serve as a surrogate marker for bone mineral density (BMD), in predicting survival outcomes in patients with GC. A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from patients with GC who underwent curative-intent gastrectomy. Opportunistic abdominopelvic computed tomography images were used to assess HU values at the 3rd lumbar vertebra (L3). These values were then categorized using a cutoff value of 110 HU, which has been established in previous studies as a determinant for abnormal versus normal BMD. Cox regression analysis established predictor models for overall survival (OS). Among 501 initial patients, 478 met the inclusion criteria. Multivariate analyses revealed HU values (hazard ratio, 1.51), along with other factors (the 5-factor modified frailty index, type of gastrectomy, TNM stage, anemia, and serum albumin level), as significant predictors of OS. The full model (FM) incorporating these variables demonstrated superior discrimination ability compared to the baseline model (BM), which is based solely on the TNM stage (concordance index: 0.807 vs 0.709; P < .001). Furthermore, the FM outperformed the BM in predicting OS risks at 36- and 60-months post-surgery. In conclusion, among patients undergoing gastrectomy for GC, those with HU values ≤ 110 (indicating abnormal BMD) at the L3 level, as determined through opportunistic CT scans, exhibited a poorer prognosis than those with HU values > 110 (indicating normal BMD). Integrating HU with other clinicopathological parameters enhances predictive accuracy, facilitating individualized risk stratification and treatment decision-making, which could potentially lead to improved survival outcomes.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:659. [PMID: 37596616 PMCID: PMC10436643 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06765-4] [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: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUD The influencing factors of osteoporosis are complex, the incidence of osteoporosis is higher in middle-aged and elderly women, and osteoporotic fractures (OF) can seriously affect quality of life. Currently, the correlation analysis between gastrointestinal diseases and OF focuses more on diseases such as gastric cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study analyzed the risk factors for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures in 1567 postmenopausal women in Fuzhou, China. The purpose is to explore the potential influence of gastrointestinal diseases on the occurrence of OF. METHODS According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 1567 subjects were included in the analysis of OP risk factors, including 647 in the OP group and 920 in the NOP group. A total of 616 subjects were included in the analysis of correlation between OF and gastrointestinal diseases, including 132 in OF group and 484 in NF group. Statistical analysis shows that age (OR = 1.062, 95% CI = 1.045-1.080), height (OR = 0.089, 95% CI = 0.009-0.857), weight (OR = 0.981,95% CI = 0.967-0.995) and nature of work (P = 0.010) are the main risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in southeast China, and gastrointestinal diseases (OR = 1.583, 95% CI = 1.070-2.343) and height (OR = 0.003, 95% CI = 0.000-0.104) are the main risk factors of OF. CONCLUSIONS The main factors affecting the occurrence of OP in postmenopausal women in southeast China are individual characteristic. Gastrointestinal diseases that do not directly affect BMD increase the risk of OF in osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
After radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, patients should be monitored from two perspectives. One is local recurrence or metastasis, and the other is nutritional and metabolic side effects. Herein, we report a case of severe osteoporosis that was misunderstood for bone metastasis due to increased bone scan and positron emission tomography-computed tomography uptake in the patient who underwent total gastrectomy and consecutive multivisceral metastasectomy. She was administered bisphosphonates, calcium carbonate, and cholecalciferol. After 3 months, a follow-up bone scan revealed decreased intensity of hot-uptake lesions, healed fracture lesions, and eventually improved bone pain. This study supports the need for careful nutritional screening as well as cancer surveillance after gastrectomy for gastric cancer and the need for screening guidelines for bone metabolic diseases.

International Delphi consensus guidelines for follow-up after prophylactic total gastrectomy: the Life after Prophylactic Total Gastrectomy (LAP-TG) study. Gastric Cancer 2022; 25:1094-1104.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG) remains the only means of preventing gastric cancer for people with genetic mutations predisposing to Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC), mainly in the CDH1 gene. The small but growing cohort of people undergoing PTG at a young age are expected to have a life-expectancy close to the general population, however, knowledge of the long-term effects of, and monitoring requirements after, PTG is limited. This study aims to define the standard of care for follow-up after PTG. METHODS Through a combination of literature review and two-round Delphi consensus of major HDGC/PTG units and physicians, and patient advocates, we produced a set of recommendations for follow-up after PTG. RESULTS There were 42 first round, and 62 second round, responses from clinicians, allied health professionals and patient advocates. The guidelines include recommendations for timing of assessments and specialties involved in providing follow-up, micronutrient supplementation and monitoring, bone health and the provision of written information. CONCLUSION While the evidence supporting the guidelines is limited, expert consensus provides a framework to best manage people following PTG, and could support the collection of information on the long-term effects of PTG.
