A machine learning model for predicting the lymph node metastasis of early gastric cancer not meeting the endoscopic curability criteria. Gastric Cancer 2024:10.1007/s10120-024-01511-8. [PMID: 38795251 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-024-01511-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We developed a machine learning (ML) model to predict the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) who did not meet the existing Japanese endoscopic curability criteria and compared its performance with that of the most common clinical risk scoring system, the eCura system. METHODS We used data from 4,042 consecutive patients with EGC from 21 institutions who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and/or surgery between 2010 and 2021. All resected EGCs were histologically confirmed not to satisfy the current Japanese endoscopic curability criteria. Of all patients, 3,506 constituted the training cohort to develop the neural network-based ML model, and 536 constituted the validation cohort. The performance of our ML model, as measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), was compared with that of the eCura system in the validation cohort. RESULTS LNM rates were 14% (503/3,506) and 7% (39/536) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The ML model identified patients with LNM with an AUC of 0.83 (95% confidence interval, 0.76-0.89) in the validation cohort, while the eCura system identified patients with LNM with an AUC of 0.77 (95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.85) (P = 0.006, DeLong's test). CONCLUSIONS Our ML model performed better than the eCura system for predicting LNM risk in patients with EGC who did not meet the existing Japanese endoscopic curability criteria. We developed a neural network-based machine learning model that predicts the risk of lymph node metastasis in patients with early gastric cancer who did not meet the endoscopic curability criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective treatment method for early gastric cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors of recurrence for patients with early gastric cancer after ESD and construct a nomogram for predicting recurrence. METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients with early gastric cancer who underwent ESD at Beijing Friendship Hospital between 2013 and 2018. The risk factors of gastric cancer recurrence after ESD were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 238 patients with a median follow-up period of 70.5-month were enrolled in the study. Risk factors for recurrence included diabetes (HR = 3.68), alcohol consumption history (HR = 5.73), complications (HR = 5.22), lymphatic invasion (HR = 13.09) and multiple lesions (HR = 4.34). The analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and model consistency index demonstrates that the graphical representation exhibits a good predictive capability. CONCLUSIONS Based on identified risk factors, this study developed the first nomogram with high accuracy to predict the recurrence of early gastric cancer after ESD. This model offers valuable guidance to clinicians for identifying high-risk patient groups and planning more intensive follow-up strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system in China. Few comprehensive practice guidelines for early gastric cancer in China are currently available. Therefore, we created the Chinese national clinical practice guideline for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of early gastric cancer. METHODS This clinical practice guideline (CPG) was developed in accordance with the World Health Organization's recommended process and with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) in assessing evidence quality. We used the Evidence to Decision framework to formulate clinical recommendations to minimize bias and increase transparency in the CPG development process. We used the Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) statement and the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) as reporting and conduct guidelines to ensure completeness and transparency of the CPG. RESULTS This CPG contains 40 recommendations regarding the prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of early gastric cancer based on available clinical studies and guidelines. We provide recommendations for the timing of Helicobacter pylori eradication, screening populations for early gastric cancer, indications for endoscopic resection and surgical gastrectomy, follow-up interval after treatment, and other recommendations. CONCLUSIONS This CPG can lead to optimum care for patients and populations by providing up-to-date medical information. We intend this CPG for widespread adoption to increase the standard of prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of early gastric cancer; thereby, contributing to improving national health care and patient quality of life.

Surg Endosc 2024; 38:2124-2133. [PMID: 38443502 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10722-0] [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: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic full-thickness gastric resection (EFTGR) with regional lymph node dissection (LND) has been used for early gastric cancer (EGC) exceeding the indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The extent of the dissected lymph nodes is crucial. A 3D near-infrared (NIR) video robot system significantly enhances visualization of the lymphatic system. However, this system has not been used in EFTGR with LND. Thus, this study assessed the benefits of the 3D NIR video robot system in a clinical setting. METHODS Between February 2015 and September 2018, 24 patients with EGC exceeding the indications for ESD were treated with EFTGR and LND using a 3D NIR video system with the da Vinci surgical robot. Indocyanine green (ICG) was injected endoscopically around the tumor, and basin node (BN) dissection around the nodes was examined using the 3D NIR video system of the da Vinci Si surgical robot. Subsequently, robot-assisted EFTGR was performed. The primary outcome was the 5-year survival rate. RESULT During a 5-year follow-up of all 24 patients, an 80-year-old patient with an ulcer and T2 invasion was lost to follow-up. Among the remaining 23 patients, no mortality or recurrence was observed. CONCLUSION No metastasis or mortality occurred using the da Vinci robot-assisted EFTGR with LLND and a 3D NIR video system for patients who required radical gastrectomy for EGC in over 5 years. Hence, this may be a safe and effective method for radical gastrectomy; further studies are required confirming its effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic full-thickness gastric resection (EFTGR) with laparoscopic regional lymph node dissection (LLND) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with LLND have been investigated as treatment options for early gastric cancer beyond the absolute indications for ESD. However, comparative studies on the long-term outcomes of these procedures are lacking. This study aimed to analyze and compare the 10-year outcomes of both procedures in a real clinical setting. METHODS Between January 2009 and December 2013, 28 and 37 patients diagnosed with EGC beyond the absolute indications for ESD were treated with EFTGR with LLND and ESD with LLND, respectively. In both procedures, the dye was injected into the tumor. However, after injection and LLND, EFTGR was performed immediately in the EFTGR with LLND group, whereas LLND was followed by ESD in the ESD with LLND group. The primary endpoint was the 10-year survival rate. RESULTS The EFTGR with LLND group had one case of local recurrence (3.6%) and mortality (3.6%) each, while the ESD with LLND group had none (0.0% for both); however, the differences were not statistically significant (P = 0.247 for each). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in complications such as ischemia and anastomosis leakage between the groups (P = 0.247). CONCLUSIONS When the procedures were properly applied, EFTGR with LLND and ESD with LLND did not increase the 10-year mortality in patients with EGC beyond the absolute ESD indications compared with conventional radical gastrectomy.

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.

Abstract
Early gastric cancer comprises gastric malignancies that are confined to the mucosa or submucosa, irrespective of lymph node metastasis. Endoscopic resection is currently pivotal for the management of such early lesions, and it is the recommended treatment for tumors presenting a very low risk of lymph node metastasis. In general, these lesions consist of two groups of differentiated mucosal adenocarcinomas: non-ulcerated lesions (regardless of their size) and small ulcerated lesions. Endoscopic submucosal dissection is the technique of choice in most cases. This procedure has high rates of complete histological resection while maintaining gastric anatomy and its functions, resulting in fewer adverse events than surgery and having a lesser impact on patient-reported quality of life. Nonetheless, approximately 20% of resected lesions do not fulfill curative criteria and demand further treatment, highlighting the importance of patient selection. Additionally, the preservation of the stomach results in a moderate risk of metachronous lesions, which underlines the need for surveillance. We review the current evidence regarding the endoscopic treatment of early gastric cancer, including the short-and long-term results and management after resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) applies to undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UEGC) remains controversial. We aimed to analyze the risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in UEGC and evaluate the feasibility of ESD. METHODS This study included 346 patients with UEGC who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2014 and December 2021. Univariate and multivariate analyses of the correlation between clinicopathological features and LNM were conducted, and the risk factors for exceeding the expanded ESD indications were evaluated. RESULTS The overall LNM rate in UEGC was 19.94%. Among the preoperatively assessable factors, submucosal invasion (odds ratio [OR] = 4.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.14-10.66) and > 2 cm(OR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.20-5.15) were independent risk factors for LNM, while postoperative independent risk factors were > 2 cm (OR = 3.35, 95% CI: 1.02-5.40) and lymphovascular invasion(OR = 13.21, 95% CI: 5.18-33.70). Patients who met the expanded indications had a low LNM risk (4.1%). Additionally, tumors located in the cardia (P = 0.03), non-elevated type (P < 0.01) were independent risk factors for exceeding the expanded indications in UEGC. CONCLUSIONS ESD may be applicable for UEGC meeting the expanded indications, and preoperative evaluation should be cautious when the lesion is non-elevated type or located in the cardia.

Endoscopic Resection Versus Surgery in the Treatment of Early Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Oncol 2022; 12:939244. [PMID: 35903707 PMCID: PMC9314734 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.939244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Endoscopic resection (ER) is the preferred approach to treat early gastric cancer (EGC) in patients without suspected lymph node involvement and that meet the criteria for ER. Surgery is a more aggressive treatment, but it may be associated with less recurrence and the need for reintervention. Previous meta-analyses comparing ER with surgery for EGC did not incorporate the most recent studies, making accurate conclusions not possible. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine complete resection, length of hospital stay (LOHS), adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, recurrence, 5-year overall survival (OS), and 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with EGC. Results A total of 29 cohorts studies involving 20559 patients were included. The ER (n = 7709) group was associated with a lower incidence of AEs (RD = -0.07, 95%CI = -0.1, -0.04, p < 0.0001) and shorter LOHS (95% CI -5.89, -5.32; p < 0,00001) compared to surgery (n = 12850). However, ER was associated with lower complete resection rates (RD = -0.1, 95%CI = -0.15, -0.06; p < 0.00001) and higher rates of recurrence (RD = 0.07, 95%CI = 0.06; p < 0.00001). There were no significant differences between surgery and ER in 5-year OS (RD = -0.01, 95%CI = -0.04, 0.02; p = 0.38), 5-year CSS (RD = 0.01, 95%CI = 0.00, 0.02; p < 0.17), and incidence of serious AEs (RD = -0.03, 95%CI = -0.08, 0.01; p = 0.13). Conclusions ER and surgery are safe and effective treatments for EGC. ER provides lower rates of AEs and shorter LOHS compared to surgery. Although ER is associated with lower complete resection rates and a higher risk of recurrence, the OS and CSS were similar between both approaches.

Integrative proteomic characterization of trace FFPE samples in early-stage gastrointestinal cancer. Proteome Sci 2022; 20:5. [PMID: 35397555 PMCID: PMC8994365 DOI: 10.1186/s12953-022-00188-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
The surveillance and therapy of early-stage cancer would be better for patients’ prognosis. However, the extreme trace amount of tissue samples in different stages have limited in portraying the characterization of early-stage cancer. Therefore, we focused on and presented comprehensive proteomic and phosphoproproteomic profiling of the trace FFPE samples from early-stage gastrointestinal cancer, and then explored the potential biomarkers of early-stage gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods
In this study, a quantitative proteomic method with chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to analyse the proteomic difference between the trace early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (EESCC) and early-stage duodenum adenocarcinoma cancer (EDAC).
Results
We identified ~ 6000 proteins and > 10,000 phosphosites in single trace FFPE samples. Comparative analysis disclosed the diverse proteomic features of tumor tissues compared with paired normal tissue of EESCC and EDAC, and revealed the difference of EESCC and EDAC was derived from their origin normal tissue. The distinct separation of EESCC and EDAC illustrated the functions of cell cycle (RB1 T373, EGFR T693) in EESCC, and the positive impacts of apoptosis, metabolic processes (MTOR and MTOR S1261) in EDAC. Furthermore, we deconvoluted the immune infiltration of early-stage gastrointestinal cancer, in which higher immune cell signatures were detected in EDAC, and showed the specific cytokines in EESCC and EDAC. We performed kinases-substates relationship analysis and elucidated the specific proteomic kinase characterization of EESCC and EDAC, and proposed the medicative effects and corresponding drugs for EESCC and EDAC at the clinic.
Conclusion
We disclosed the specific immune characterization of the early-stage gastrointestinal cancer, and presented potential makers of EESCC (EGFR, PDGFRB, CDK4, WEE1) and EDAC (MTOR, MAP2K1, MAPK3). This study represents a major stepping stone towards investigating the carcinogenesis mechanism of gastrointestinal cancer, and providing a rich resource for medicative strategy in the clinic.

Abstract
Background and study aims The aim of the study was to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) in China because no study has yet been conducted to confirm its effectiveness in EGC in China. Patients and methods A total of 570 EGC samples from 537 patients were collected for evaluation of en bloc, complete, and curative resection using ESD. Data from 302 patients with at least 3 years of active follow-up were collected for analysis of recurrence of EGC and occurrence of metachronous GC (MGC). Short- and long-outcomes of mixed-type and pure differentiated EGC were also compared. Results En bloc resection rates of 96.0 %, 98.7 %, and 95.2 %, complete resection rates of 91.2 %, 96.6 % and 90.8 %, and curative resection rates of 83.0 %, 96.2 % and 88.2 % were achieved in all EGCs included in the study, those with absolute indication, and those with expanded indication, respectively. As a long-term outcome, recurrence was observed in 1.3 % of patients, 3-year and 5-year recurrence rates being 0.7 % and 1.2 %, respectively. Thirteen patients (4.3 %) exhibited MGCs during follow-up, all of which were resected in a second ESD. Conclusions The effectiveness of ESD for EGC in China was confirmed, with satisfactory short- and long-term outcomes. With scheduled follow-up, the outcomes for mixed-type EGC can be similar to those for pure differentiated EGC after complete resection without development of lymphovascular invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With growing incidence of early gastric cancer (EGC), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely performed as a standard treatment for mucosal cancer. Due to the increasing application of ESD, the number of non-curative resection after ESD is also growing, leading to escalating number of patients who require additional gastrectomy with lymph node dissection after non-curative ESD. However, effects of ESD prior to surgery on technical difficulties during operation for EGC remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of non-curative ESD on short-term surgical outcomes in patients who underwent additional surgical treatment using propensity score matching method. METHODS To evaluate the effect of ESD on short-term surgical outcomes in patients who underwent additional surgical treatment after a non-curative ESD procedure, patients were divided into two groups: (1) those who underwent additional gastrectomy after non-curative resection of ESD [ESD + Surgery (ES) Group], and (2) those who underwent gastrectomy as the initial treatment [Surgery Only (SO) Group]. To minimize differences in baseline demographic features that could potentially be associated with short-term outcomes, propensity-scored matching analysis was performed. RESULTS After propensity-scored matching (1:1 matching), 140 patients altogether were selected and analyzed in this study. Complications were experienced by 18 (25.7%) patients in the ES group and 13 (18.6%) patients in the SO group, showing no significant (p < 0.416) difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Additional surgery after non-curative ESD can be safely applied, even within one month after ESD in terms of short-term complications.

Effects of endoscopic submucosal dissection on post-operative early treatment effectiveness and serum TAT-2 and GP73 expression levels in patients with early gastric cancer. Exp Ther Med 2021; 22:806. [PMID: 34093762 PMCID: PMC8170670 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.10238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the effectiveness of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) and its effect on serum tumor-associated trypsin-2 (TAT-2) and Golgi protein 73 (GP73) expression levels to provide a reference for the treatment of EGC. TAT-2 is a proteolytic target enzyme for tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor that has been previously reported to enhance invasion by promoting extracellular matrix degradation. GP73 is a novel type II Golgi membrane protein of unknown function that is expressed in the hepatocytes of patients with adult giant-cell hepatitis. A total of 161 patients with EGC treated at our hospital from April 2013 to February 2014 were selected as the study subjects. Among these, 86 patients underwent ESD (group A) and the remaining 75 underwent endoscopic mucosal resection (group B). Treatment effectiveness, incidence of complications and adverse reactions, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay, as well as serum TAT-2 and GP73 expression levels, were compared between the two groups. The treatment effectiveness was significantly higher in group A than in group B (P<0.05). However, there was no significant inter-group difference in terms of incidence of complications/adverse reactions (P>0.05). After treatment, serum TAT-2 expression levels decreased in both groups (P<0.05) and serum TAT-2 expression levels were lower in group A than in group B (P<0.05). Furthermore, serum GP73 expression levels were significantly elevated in both groups (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated no significant inter-group difference in the 5-year survival rate (P>0.05). In conclusion, ESD had a good therapeutic effect on EGC and is able to decrease serum TAT-2 expression levels and increase serum GP73 expression levels. The present study was registered into the Chinese Trials Registry (registration no. NCT02157534).

Abstract
Early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) provides patients opportunities for minimally invasive endoscopic resection. Here, we developed a new strategy integrated the state-of-the-art sequential windowed acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion (SWATH) mass spectra (MS) with multi-dataset joint analysis to screen for the stage-I GC plasma biomarker. In SWATH-MS assays, we identified 37 upregulated and 21 downregulated proteins in GC plasma. In the mRNA database analysis, 633 genes were identified as differentially expressed genes in at least 4 out of 5 datasets, but there were only 94 genes identified as upregulated. Only 1 gene, CHI3L1, was characterized as upregulated in both the dataset consensus list and the SWATH-MS list. Then, we detected the CHI3L1 level in the plasma of a large cohort consisting of 200 participants. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CHI3L1 in distinguishing GC from others was 0.788. Integrating the plasma CHI3L1 level with clinical factors further boosted the AUC to 0.887. In conclusion, we provide a novel strategy for biomarker screening, combining recent MS techniques with public database analysis, and identified plasma CHI3L1 as a potential biomarker for patients with endoscopically resectable GC.

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.

[PMID: 31328820 PMCID: PMC6868420 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.22984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2018] [Revised: 06/29/2019] [Accepted: 07/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a special class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that have numerous biological functions in normal situation and diseases including cancers. However, the clinical significance of circRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) remains largely unknown. Here, we chose two representative circRNAs, hsa_circ_0067582 and hsa_circ_0005758, to investigate their clinical significance in GC patients. METHODS Using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), we explored the expression levels of hsa_circ_0067582 and hsa_circ_0005758 in tissues with different stages of gastric tumorigenesis. Then, the relationships between their expression levels and GC patients' clinicopathological factors were further investigated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were established for evaluating diagnostic values of hsa_circ_0067582 and hsa_circ_0005758. RESULTS Compared with healthy control tissues, both hsa_circ_0067582 and hsa_circ_0005758 were significantly decreased in GC tissues. Besides, hsa_circ_0067582 expression was associated with GC patients' tissue CEA level (P <.001) and stages (P = .037); and hsa_circ_0005758 expression was relevant to tissue CEA level (P < .001) and perineural invasion (P = .048). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of hsa_circ_0067582 was up to 0.671. The cutoff value was set at 10.61, with which the sensitivity and specificity were 55.2% and 75.0%, respectively. Similar to hsa_circ_0005758, the AUC of hsa_circ_0005758 was 0.721. The cutoff value was set at 10.20, with which the sensitivity and specificity were 75.0% and 67.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION These results showed that both hsa_circ_0067582 and hsa_circ_0005758 may play an important role in gastric carcinogenesis; and they may be potential indicators for GC diagnosis.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2019; 11:161-171. [PMID: 30788042 PMCID: PMC6379758 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v11.i2.161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2018] [Revised: 12/17/2018] [Accepted: 12/24/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several surgical options for treating early gastric cancers (EGCs), such as endoscopic resection, laparoscopic or open gastrectomy with D1 or D2 lymphadenectomy. Endoscopic resection for EGC with low risk of lymph node metastasis has been widely accepted as a therapeutic alternative. The role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in treating EGC is not well established, especially when compared with resection surgery cases in a long-term follow-up scope.
AIM To compare the safety and efficacy of the short- and long-term outcomes between ESD and resection surgery.
METHODS We searched the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from January 1990 to June 2018, enrolling studies reporting short- or long-term outcomes of ESD in comparison with resection surgery for EGC. The quality of the studies was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Stata software (version 12.0) was used for the analysis. Pooling analysis was conducted using either fixed- or random-effects models depending on heterogeneity across studies.
RESULTS Fourteen studies comprising 5112 patients were eligible for analysis (2402 for EGC and 2710 for radical surgery). Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the ESD approach showed advantages through decreased operation time [weighted mean difference (WMD): -140.02 min, 95%CI: -254.23 to -34.82 min, P = 0.009], shorter hospital stay (WMD: -5.41 d, 95% CI: -5.93 to -4.89 d, P < 0.001), and lower postoperative complication rate [Odds ratio (OR) = 0.39, 95%CI: 0.28-0.55, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, EGC patients who underwent ESD had higher recurrence rate (OR = 9.24, 95%CI: 5.94-14.36, P < 0.001) than resection surgery patients. However, the long-term survival including overall survival [Hazard ratio (HR) = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.26-1.00, P = 0.05] and event-free survival (HR = 1.59, 95%CI: 0.66-9.81, P = 0.300) showed no significant differences between these two groups.
CONCLUSION In the treatment of EGC, ESD was safe and feasible in comparison with resection surgery, with advantages in several surgical and post-operative recovery parameters. Although the recurrence rate was higher in ESD group, the long-term survival was still comparable in these two groups, suggesting ESD could be recommended as standard treatment for EGC with indications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small studies suggest improvement of cardiovascular risk profiles and reduced cardiovascular mortality after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. In our study using national health insurance data, we investigated coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke incidence among gastric cancer patients who received gastrectomy compared with general population controls. METHODS A total of 98,936 gastric cancer patients were included in the study and matched to non-cancer controls via 1:1 propensity score matching. Competing risk regression analysis was used to determine the relative risk of CHD and ischemic stroke, with cancer mortality as the competing risk. Changes in cardiovascular risk profile before and after gastrectomy were tested, and factors associated with CHD or ischemic stroke incidence among gastric cancer patients were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with the matched controls, gastric cancer patients who received gastrectomy were shown to have a decreased risk for both CHD (subdistribution hazard ratio [SHR] 0.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-0.63) and ischemic stroke (SHR 0.72, 95% CI 0.69-0.75). Decreases in body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid and hemoglobin levels were marked after gastrectomy. Among gastric cancer patients, those who lost > 5% of their body weight were at lower risk of developing CHD (SHR 0.82, 95% CI 0.71-0.96) and ischemic stroke (SHR 0.85, 95% CI 0.75-0.98). CONCLUSIONS CHD and ischemic stroke risk decreased after gastrectomy. The amount of weight loss and accompanying metabolic changes seemed to mediate the reduction of such risk. Reassessment of cardiovascular risk factors after gastrectomy and consideration of cardiovascular risk in the selection of treatment modality are suggested.

Abstract
AIMS There are two treatment modalities for early gastric cancer (EGC)-surgery and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of ESD with surgery. METHOD The article was performed by searching PubMed databases. Data were extracted using predefined form and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated and P value. RESULTS 13 studies were identified. The incidence of perforation in two groups was different [OR = 6.18 (95% CI: 1.37-27.98), P = 0.02]. The prevalences of synchronous and metachronous cancer in the ESD group were higher than those in the surgery group [OR = 8.52 (95% CI: 1.99-36.56), P = 0.004 and OR = 7.15 (95% CI: 2.95-17.32), P < 0.0001]. The recurrence and complete resection rates were different [OR = 6.93 (95% CI: 2.83-16.96), P < 0.0001 and OR = 0.32 (95% CI: 0.20-0.52), P < 0.00001]. Compared with the surgery group, the hospital stay was shorter [IV = -7.15 (95% CI: -9.08-5.22), P < 0.00001], the adverse event rate was lower, and the quality of life (QOL) was better in the ESD group. The difference of bleeding was not found. CONCLUSION ESD appears to be preferable for EGC, due to a lower rate of adverse events, shorter hospital stay, cheaper cost, and higher QOL.

Abstract
Circular RNAs are new type of endogenous RNAs, which play an important role in the regulation of gene expression and indicate a great capacity in clinical diagnosis and treatments of diseases. However, the role of circular RNAs in gastric cancer remains unknown. In this study, we chose hsa_circ_0006633 as the target circular RNA and measured its levels in human gastric cancer tissues, plasma, and gastric cell lines by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Hsa_circ_0006633 levels at multiple stages of gastric tumorigenesis were then explored, and its relationships with clinicopathological features were analyzed as well. We found that the expression levels of hsa_circ_0006633 in four gastric cancer cell lines, HGC-27, SGC-7901, MGC-803, and AGS, were downregulated than those in normal gastric mucosal epithelial cell line GES-1. Then, we further detected that it was downregulated in 79.2% (76/96) gastric cancer tissues compared with the adjacent non-tumorous tissues. The lower expression of hsa_circ_0006633 was associated with cancer distal metastasis ( p = 0.037) and tissue carcinoembryonic antigen level ( p = 0.041). In addition, hsa_circ_0006633 expression was significantly decreased in gastritis and dysplasia tissues comparing with the healthy control. Moreover, plasma hsa_circ_0006633 levels were significantly increased in gastric cancer compared with healthy control. Our data imply that hsa_circ_0006633 may play an important role in gastric carcinogenesis and is also a potential biomarker for screening gastric cancer.

Abstract
Purpose Studies reporting the treatment of early colorectal cancer (ECC) by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in elderly patients are lacking in China. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and overall quality of life of elderly patients with ECC who undergoing ESD. Methods Three hundred and seventy-nine patients with 401 colorectal lesions entered into our study from March 2013 to March 2016 (Patients with an age 70 years old or older were divided into the elderly group and those who were less than 70-year-old entered the non-elderly group). Results No significant differences were found in sex ratio, body mass index, location, endoscopic classification, pathological pattern, lesion size, mean procedure time, hospitalization days, complete excision, and en bloc resection rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of complications during and after ESD procedure (P > 0.05). There were no statistical differences between two groups in Quality of life index (QL-Index) and European Organization for Research and Treatment quality of life version 3.0 questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores (P > 0.05). Conclusion ESD was relatively safe and effective for elderly patients with ECC, and it may be an recommended first-line treatment.

Applicability of endoscopic submucosal dissection for undifferentiated early gastric cancer: Mixed histology of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma is a worse predictive factor of nodal metastasis. Surg Oncol 2016; 26:8-12. [PMID: 28317588 DOI: 10.1016/j.suronc.2016.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2016] [Revised: 10/20/2016] [Accepted: 12/06/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is not considered an appropriate treatment for undifferentiated early gastric cancer (UEGC) due to the higher risk of nodal metastases. We aimed to investigate predictive factors for nodal metastases in UEGCs, determine whether the tumor histology is an independent factor for it, and explore whether ESD is applicable for UEGC. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 1837 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, and a mixed type of both tumors between 2008 and 2012. RESULTS Nodal metastases were found in 208 (11.3%) patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that lymphovascular invasion and tumor histology were significantly associated with nodal metastases in mucosal cancers, the rates of which were higher in mixed type tumors (6.3%) than in the other two types (2.0-2.5%; p = 0.005). No nodal metastases were observed in poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas <2 cm and signet ring cell carcinomas <1 cm without lymphovascular invasion and confined to the mucosa. CONCLUSION Mixed type tumors should not be considered for endoscopic resection. ESD might be applicable for mucosal tumors with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma <2 cm and signet ring cell carcinoma <1 cm without lymphovascular invasion.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common and lethal cancers in the world. In Portugal, it is a major health problem presenting one of the highest incidence rates among European countries. In most Western countries, gastric cancer is generally diagnosed in advanced stages. Nevertheless, with the widespread use of upper endoscopy, gastric superficial neoplastic lesions are being increasingly recognized and diagnosed. However, there are no clear recommendations regarding who should be screened for its presence and only recently guidelines concerning the evaluation and management of these lesions were published. In this review, we summarize the current scientific evidence regarding diagnosis and management of gastric superficial neoplastic lesions. Topics like screening, diagnosis, endoscopic evaluation, management, treatment, pathologic evaluation and follow-up of patients with these lesions are covered and areas of future research are discussed. Whenever possible, evidence-based recommendations are made, and on the other cases expert opinion is presented.

Abstract
Aim To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection (ER) and surgery for the treatment of early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions. Methods Databases, such as PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Science Citation Index, from 2000 to 2016, were searched for eligible articles. In this meta-analysis, the main outcome measurements were local recurrence, complications, metachronous lesions, hospital stay, and 5-year overall survival. Results Nine trials were identified and a total of 2748 patients were included. The rate of complication was higher in the surgery group compared with the ER group (OR 0.41; 95 % CI 0.30–0.55). The rates of local recurrence and metachronous lesions were lower in the surgery group (OR 0.03; 95 % CI 0.00–0.06; OR 8.76; 95 % CI 4.17–18.41). The hospital stay was shorter in the ER group (mean difference −6.96; 95 % CI −7.94 to −5.99). The 5-year overall survival rate did not significantly differ between the two groups (OR 1.23; 95 % CI 1.03–1.47). Conclusions We provided evidence that, ER was comparable to surgery in terms of the 5-year overall survival. In addition, ER had a lower rate of complications and shorter hospital stay, but a higher rate of local recurrence and metachronous lesions for the treatment of early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.
