Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-targeting drugs are increasingly being incorporated into therapeutic paradigms for non-breast cancers, yet studies on HER2 expression in ovarian cancer (OC) are inadequate. Here, we studied the HER2 status and dynamic changes in OC by reviewing the records of patients who underwent HER2 testing at a single institution. Clinical parameters, including histology, BRCA status, and immunohistochemistry (IHC), were evaluated alongside HER2 expression, timing, and anatomical location. Among 200 patients, 28% and 6% exhibited expression scores of 2+ and 3+, respectively. HER2 3+ scores were observed in 23%, 11%, 9%, and 5% of mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, and high-grade serous tumors, respectively, and were exclusively identified in BRCA-wildtype, mismatch repair-proficient, or PD-L1-low-expressing tumors. The TP53 mutation rate was low, whereas ARID1A, KRAS, and PIK3CA mutations were relatively more prevalent with HER2 scores of 2+ or 3+ than with 0 or 1+. Four of the five tumors with an HER2 3+ score exhibited ERBB2 amplification. Among 19 patients who underwent multiple time-lagged biopsies, 11 showed increased HER2 expression in subsequent biopsies. Patients with HER2-overexpressing OC exhibited distinct histological, IHC, and genomic profiles. HER2-targeting agents are potential options for BRCA-wildtype patients, particularly as later lines of treatment.

Effect of preoperative chemotherapy on the histopathological classification of gastric cancer. Gastric Cancer 2024; 27:102-109.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the era of individualized gastric cancer (GC) treatment, accurate determination of histological subtype becomes increasingly relevant. As yet, it is unclear whether preoperative chemotherapy may affect the histological subtype. The aim of this study was to assess concordance in histological subtype between pretreatment biopsies and surgical resection specimens before and after the introduction of perioperative treatment. METHODS Histological subtype was centrally determined in paired GC biopsies and surgical resection specimens of patients treated with either surgery alone (SA) in the Dutch D1/D2 study or with preoperative chemotherapy (CT) in the CRITICS trial. The histological subtype as determined in the resection specimen was considered the gold standard. Concordance rates and sensitivity and specificity of intestinal, diffuse, mixed, and "other" subtypes of GC were analyzed. RESULTS In total, 105 and 515 pairs of GC biopsies and resection specimens of patients treated in the SA and CT cohorts, respectively, were included. Overall concordance in the histological subtype was 72% in the SA and 74% in the CT cohort and substantially higher in the diffuse subtype (83% and 86%) compared to the intestinal (70% and 74%), mixed (21% and 33%) and "other" subtypes (54% and 54%). In the SA cohort, sensitivities and specificities were 0.88 and 0.71 in the intestinal, 0.67 and 0.93 in the diffuse, 0.20 and 0.98 in the mixed, and 0.50 and 0.93 in the "other" subtypes, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that accurate determination of histological subtype on gastric cancer biopsies is suboptimal but that the impact of preoperative chemotherapy on histological subtype is negligible.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is usually considered an incurable factor of gastric cancer (GC) and not fit for surgery. The aim of this study is to develop and validate an 18 F-FDG PET/CT-derived radiomics model combining with clinical risk factors for predicting PM of GC. METHOD In this retrospective study, 410 GC patients (PM - = 281, PM + = 129) who underwent preoperative 18 F-FDG PET/CT images from January 2015 to October 2021 were analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 288) and a validation cohort (n = 122). The maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (mRMR) and the least shrinkage and selection operator method were applied to select feature. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was preformed to develop the predicting model. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. RESULT Fourteen radiomics feature parameters were selected to construct radiomics model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the radiomics model were 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81-0.90] in the training cohort and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.78-0.92) in the validation cohort. After multivariable logistic regression, peritoneal effusion, mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and radiomics signature showed statistically significant differences between different PM status patients( P < 0.05). They were chosen to construct the comprehensive predicting model which showed a performance with an AUC of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.89-0.95) in the training cohort and 0.92 (95% CI, 0.86-0.98) in the validation cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION The nomogram based on 18 F-FDG PET/CT radiomics features and clinical risk factors can be potentially applied in individualized treatment strategy-making for GC patients before the surgery.

Abstract
Intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma (IGA) is a common phenotype of gastric cancer. Currently, few studies have constructed nomograms that may predict overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) probability after surgery. This study is to establish novel nomograms for predicting the survival of IGA patients who received surgery. A total of 1814 IGA patients who received surgery between 2000 and 2018 were selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database and randomly assigned to the training and validating sets at a ratio of 7:3. Then univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses were performed to screen significant indictors for the construction of nomograms. The calibration curve, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (receiver operating characteristic, ROC) curve (the area under curve, AUC), C-index, net reclassification index (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and decision curve analysis (DCA) curves were applied to assess the performance of the model. The significant outcomes of multivariate analysis revealed that ten variables (age, sex, race, surgery type, summary stage, grade, AJCC TNM stage, radiotherapy, number of regional nodes examined, number of regional nodes positive) were demonstrated to construct the nomogram for OS and ten variables (age, sex, race, surgery type, summary stage, grade, AJCC TNM stage, chemotherapy, number of regional nodes examined, number of regional nodes positive) for CSS. The calibration and AUC uncovered their favorable predictive performance. Subsequently, C-index, NRI, IDI and DCA curves further validated the predicative superiority of nomograms over 7th AJCC Stage System. The validated nomogram provides more reliable OS and CSS predictions for postoperative IGA patients with good accuracy, which can help surgeons in treatment decision-making and prognosis evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of a radiomics model based on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) venous-phase iodine map (IM) and 120 kVp equivalent mixed images (MIX) in predicting the Lauren classification of gastric cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 240 patients undergoing preoperative DECT and postoperative pathologically confirmed gastric cancer was done. Training sets (n = 168) and testing sets (n = 72) were randomly assigned with a ratio of 7:3. Patients are divided into intestinal and non-intestinal groups. Traditional features were analyzed by two radiologists, using logistic regression to determine independent predictors for building clinical models. Using the Radiomics software, radiomics features were extracted from the IM and MIX images. ICC and Boruta algorithm were used for dimensionality reduction, and a random forest algorithm was applied to construct the radiomics model. ROC and DCA were used to evaluate the model performance. RESULTS Gender and maximum tumor thickness were independent predictors of Lauren classification and were used to build a clinical model. Separately establish IM-radiomics (R-IM), mixed radiomics (R-MIX), and combined IM + MIX image radiomics (R-COMB) models. In the training set, each radiomics model performed better than the clinical model, and the R-COMB model showed the best prediction performance (AUC: 0.855). In the testing set also, the R-COMB model had better prediction performance than the clinical model (AUC: 0.802). CONCLUSION The R-COMB radiomics model based on DECT-IM and 120 kVp equivalent MIX images can effectively be used for preoperative noninvasive prediction of the Lauren classification of gastric cancer. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The radiomics model based on dual-energy CT can be used for Lauren classification prediction of preoperative gastric cancer and help clinicians formulate individualized treatment plans and assess prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a combined radiomics nomogram based on computed tomography (CT) images and clinical features to preoperatively distinguish Lauren's diffuse-type gastric cancer (GC) from intestinal-type GC. METHODS Ninety-five patients with Lauren's intestinal or diffuse-type GC confirmed by postoperative pathology had their preoperative clinical information and dynamic contrast CT images retrospectively analyzed and were subdivided into training and test groups in a 7:3 ratio. To select the optimal features and construct the radiomic signatures, we extracted, filtered, and minimized the radiomic features from arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP) CT images. We constructed four models (clinical model, AP radiomics model, VP radiomics model, and radiomics-clinical model) to assess and compare their predictive performance between the intestinal- and diffuse-type GC. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under the ROC curve (AUC), and the DeLong test were used for assessment and comparison. In this study, radiomic nomograms integrating combined radiomic signatures and clinical characteristics were developed. RESULTS Compared to the AP radiomics model, the VP radiomics model had better performance, with an AUC of 0.832 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.735, 0.929) in the training cohort and 0.760 (95% CI 0.580, 0.940) in the test cohort. Among the combined models that assessed Lauren's type GC, the model including age and VP radiomics showed the best performance, with an AUC of 0.849 (95% CI 0.758, 0.940) in the training cohort and 0.793 (95% CI 0.629, 0.957) in the test cohort. CONCLUSIONS Nomogram incorporating radiomic signatures and clinical features effectively differentiated Lauren's diffuse-type from intestinal-type GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diffuse-type gastric cancer (GC), especially signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), has shown an upward trend in the past decades. This study aimed to develop computed tomography (CT) based radiomics nomograms to distinguish diffuse-type and SRCC GC preoperatively. METHODS A total of 693 GC patients from two centers were retrospectively analyzed and divided into training, internal validation and external validation cohorts. Radiomics features were extracted from CT images, and the Lauren radiomics model was established with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to identify diffuse-type GC. The Lauren radiomics nomogram integrating radiomics features score (Rad-score) and clinicopathological characteristics were developed and evaluated regarding prediction ability. Further, the SRCC radiomics nomogram designed to identify SRCC from diffuse-type GC was developed and evaluated following the same procedures. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed that Rad-scores was significantly associated with diffuse-type GC and SRCC (p < 0.001). The Lauren radiomics nomogram showed promising prediction performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.895 (95%CI, 0.957-0.932), 0.841 (95%CI, 0.781-0.901) and 0.893 (95%CI, 0.831-0.955) in each cohort. The SRCC radiomics nomogram also showed good discrimination, with AUC of 0.905 (95%CI,0.866-0.944), 0.845 (95%CI, 0.775-0.915) and 0.918 (95%CI, 0.842-0.994) in each cohort. The radiomics nomograms showed great model fitness and clinical usefulness by calibration curve and decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION Our CT-based radiomics nomograms had the ability to identify the diffuse-type and SRCC GC, providing a non-invasive, efficient and preoperative diagnosis method. They may help guide preoperative clinical decision-making and benefit GC patients in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variation in the approach, radicality, and quality of gastroesophageal surgery impacts patient outcomes. Pathological outcomes such as lymph node yield are routinely used as surrogate markers of surgical quality, but are subject to significant variations in histopathological evaluation and reporting. A multi-society consensus group was convened to develop evidence-based recommendations for the standardized assessment of gastroesophageal cancer specimens. METHODS A consensus group comprised of surgeons, pathologists, and oncologists was convened on behalf of the Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery of Great Britain & Ireland. Literature was reviewed for 17 key questions. Draft recommendations were voted upon via an anonymous Delphi process. Consensus was considered achieved where >70% of participants were in agreement. RESULTS Consensus was achieved on 18 statements for all 17 questions. Twelve strong recommendations regarding preparation and assessment of lymph nodes, margins, and reporting methods were made. Importantly, there was 100% agreement that the all specimens should be reported using the Royal College of Pathologists Guidelines as the minimum acceptable dataset. In addition, two weak recommendations regarding method and duration of specimen fixation were made. Four topics lacked sufficient evidence and no recommendation was made. CONCLUSIONS These consensus recommendations provide explicit guidance for gastroesophageal cancer specimen preparation and assessment, to provide maximum benefit for patient care and standardize reporting to allow benchmarking and improvement of surgical quality.

Abstract
A recent clinical trial showed prolonged progression-free survival in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced stage and recurrent endometrial serous carcinomas when trastuzumab was added to traditional chemotherapy. Approximately one third of these tumors are HER2-positive and have been described to show unique characteristics of HER2 protein expression and gene amplification, including significant intratumoral heterogeneity, in recent studies. However, currently, there are no standard protocols for the selection of optimal specimen type or algorithm for HER2 testing in endometrial serous carcinomas. The current study aimed to evaluate the concordance of HER2 status between endometrial biopsy/curettage and subsequent hysterectomy specimens in endometrial serous carcinoma. A total of 57 patients with endometrial serous carcinoma with available HER2 status were identified during the study period, 14 of which (14/57, 25%) were HER2-positive by immunohistochemistry and/or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The final study cohort consisted of 40 paired endometrial biopsies/curettings and hysterectomies to include all 14 HER2-positive tumors and 26 selected HER2-negative tumors to represent an equal distribution of HER2 immunohistochemical scores. HER2 FISH was performed on all tumors with an immunohistochemical score of 2+. HER2 immunohistochemical scores, heterogeneity of HER2 expression, FISH results, and the overall HER2 status were compared between the 2 specimen types. HER2 status was successfully assigned in both specimen types in 37 cases, as three specimens showed inadequate FISH signals. Concordant HER2 status was observed in 84% of cases (31/37), with identical HER2 immunohistochemical scores in 65% (26/40) of tumors. Among the 6 tumors with a discordant HER2 status, 2 were HER2 negative in the biopsy and positive in the hysterectomy, and 4 were HER2-positive in the biopsy and negative in the hysterectomy. The false-negative rate would be 15.4% and 26.7% if only the biopsy or only the hysterectomy would be the basis for the result, respectively. Intratumoral heterogeneity of HER2 protein expression was present in 22 tumors (55%), including all cases with a discordant HER2 status. The concordance rate of HER2 status between paired endometrial biopsies/curettings and hysterectomies of endometrial serous carcinoma is lower than the reported rates of breast cancer, and comparable to those of gastric carcinomas. Frequent heterogeneity of HER2 protein expression combined with the possibility of a spatially more heterogenous sampling of endometrial cavity in biopsies and curettings, and the potential differences in specimen handling/fixation between the 2 specimen types may explain our findings. HER2 testing of multiple specimens may help identify a greater proportion of patients eligible for targeted trastuzumab therapy and should be taken into account in future efforts of developing endometrial cancer-specific HER2 testing algorithm.

Abstract
Purpose The identification of HER2 overexpression in a subset of gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) patients represents a significant step forward in unveiling the molecular complexity of this disease. The predictive and prognostic value of HER2 amplification in advanced HER2 inhibitor-treated GA patients has been investigated. However, its predictive value in resectable patients remains elusive. Methods We enrolled 98 treatment-naïve resectable Chinese GA patients with HER2 overexpression assessed using IHC. Capture-based targeted sequencing using a panel consisting of 41 gastrointestinal cancer-related genes was performed on tumor tissues. Furthermore, we also investigated the correlation between HER2 copy number (CN) and survival outcomes. Results Of the 98 HER2-overexpressed patients, 90 had HER2 CN amplification assessed using next-generation sequencing, achieving 92% concordance. The most commonly seen concurrent mutations were occurring in TP53, EGFR and PIK3CA. We found HER2 CN as a continuous variable was an independent predictor associated with DFS (p = 0.029). Our study revealed HER2 CN-high patients showed a trend of intestinal-type GA predominant (p = 0.075) and older age (p = 0.07). The median HER2 CN was 15.34, which was used to divide the cohort into CN-high and CN-low groups. Patients with high HER2 CN had a significantly shorter DFS than patients with low HER2 CN (p = 0.002). Furthermore, HER2 CN as a categorical variable was also an independent predictor associated with DFS in patients. Conclusion We elucidated the mutation spectrum of HER2-positive resectable Chinese GA patients and the association between HER2 CN and DFS. Our work revealed HER2 CN as an independent risk factor predicted unfavorable prognosis in HER2-positive GA patients and allowed us to further stratify HER2-positive resectable GA patients for disease management.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate feasibility of predicting Lauren type of gastric cancer based on CT radiomics nomogram before operation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data and pre-treatment CT images of 300 gastric cancer patients with Lauren intestinal or diffuse type confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed, who were randomly divided into training set and testing set with a ratio of 2:1. Clinical features were compared between the two Lauren types in the training set and testing set, respectively. Gastric tumors on CT images were manually segmented using ITK-SNAP software, and radiomic features of the segmented tumors were extracted, filtered and minimized using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to select optimal features and develop radiomics signature. A nomogram was constructed with radiomic features and clinical characteristics to predict Lauren type of gastric cancer. Clinical model, radiomics signature model, and the nomogram model were compared using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with area under the curve (AUC). The calibration curve was used to test the agreement between prediction probability and actual clinical findings, and the decision curve was performed to assess the clinical usage of the nomogram model. RESULTS In clinical features, Lauren type of gastric cancer relate to age and CT-N stage of patients (all p < 0.05). Radiomics signature was developed with the retained 10 radiomic features. The nomogram was constructed with the 2 clinical features and radiomics signature. Among 3 prediction models, performance of the nomogram was the best in predicting Lauren type of gastric cancer, with the respective AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 0.864, 78.0%, 90.0%, 70.0%in the testing set. In addition, the calibration curve showed a good agreement between prediction probability and actual clinical findings (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The nomogram combining radiomics signature and clinical features is a useful tool with the increased value to predict Lauren type of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background Preoperative prediction of the Lauren classification in gastric cancer (GC) is very important to the choice of therapy, the evaluation of prognosis, and the improvement of quality of life. However, there is not yet radiomics analysis concerning the prediction of Lauren classification straightly. In this study, a radiomic nomogram was developed to preoperatively differentiate Lauren diffuse type from intestinal type in GC. Methods A total of 539 GC patients were enrolled in this study and later randomly allocated to two cohorts at a 7:3 ratio for training and validation. Two sets of radiomic features were derived from tumor regions and peritumor regions on venous phase computed tomography (CT) images, respectively. With the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression, a combined radiomic signature was constructed. Also, a tumor-based model and a peripheral ring-based model were built for comparison. Afterwards, a radiomic nomogram integrating the combined radiomic signature and clinical characteristics was developed. All the models were evaluated regarding classification ability and clinical usefulness. Results The combined radiomic signature achieved an area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.715 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.663–0.767) in the training cohort and 0.714 (95% CI, 0.636–0.792) in the validation cohort. The radiomic nomogram incorporating the combined radiomic signature, age, CT T stage, and CT N stage outperformed the other models with a training AUC of 0.745 (95% CI, 0.696–0.795) and a validation AUC of 0.758 (95% CI, 0.685–0.831). The significantly improved sensitivity of radiomic nomogram (0.765 and 0.793) indicated better identification of diffuse type GC patients. Further, calibration curves and decision curves demonstrated its great model fitness and clinical usefulness. Conclusions The radiomic nomogram involving the combined radiomic signature and clinical characteristics holds potential in differentiating Lauren diffuse type from intestinal type for reasonable clinical treatment strategy.

Radiotherapy benefited the survival of patients with intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma: a SEER population-based study. Clin Transl Oncol 2020; 23:164-171. [PMID: 32488805 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-020-02408-5] [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: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the role of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of patients with intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma (IGA) has not been well established. This study aimed to elucidate the survival impact of RT on such patients. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was utilized to select eligible patients. The recruited patients were dichotomized into those not received RT versus those received RT. The 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to balance the confounding factors between the two comparison groups. The categorical variables were assessed by Chi-square test. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of the patients were compared by Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods. Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify prognostic factors associated with CSS. RESULTS A total of 3572 eligible patients were enrolled for our analysis, of which, 2896(81.1%) patients did not receive RT and 676(18.9%) patients received RT. Before PSM, except race and tumor size, significant differences in patients' baseline characteristics were observed in no RT versus RT group. The KM plots before PSM indicated that RT exerted significant survival benefits for the recruited patients (p < 0.001). After PSM, most confounders were well balanced between the two comparison groups. The KM plots showed significantly superior CSS and OS in the RT group (p < 0.05). Grade IV, stage II-IV, and N3 were identified as independent risk factors, while LN examined > 15 and RT were independent protective factors for favorable prognosis. Subgroup survival analysis revealed that RT brought a significant CSS advantage for the stage IV patients. CONCLUSION Based on PSM analysis of the cohort from SEER database, RT showed significant survival benefits for patients with IGA. Our study supports adjuvant RT for this specific cohort.

Abstract
To investigate the different expression of epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in gastric cancer based on tumor locations and its impact on patients survival.Gastric cancer is heterogeneous disease, recent years have established a molecular classification and described distribution of molecular subtypes in stomach. However, the difference of EGFR and HER-2 expression among tumor location is still unknown.Between January 2010 and August 2014, 2477 consecutive patients with gastric cancer were treated in our surgery department. The tumor locations were classified into 4 groups: cardia, fundus, corpus, and antrum. Based on tumor locations, the clinicopathologic characteristics, EGFR and HER-2 expression, and follow-up data were analyzed by univariant analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis retrospectively.There were difference of gender, age, Borrmann type, pathological type, differentiation, T-stage, tumor size, gastrectomy method, and complications among the locations. The positive rate of EGFR expression in fundus was 18.18%, which was lower than cardia (46.21%), corpus (43.62%), and antrum (48.83%) (P < .001). The 5-year survival rate in EGFR positive patients was 50.8%, which was significantly lower than EGFR negative patients (64.0%, P = .021). The positive rate of HER-2 expression in cardia was 48.15%, which was significantly higher than fundus (37.5%), corpus (35.45%), and antrum (38.54%) (P = .009), but HER-2 expression did not correlate with 5-year survive (P = .548).Our results suggest that there exist difference of EGFR and HER-2 expression based on tumor locations, and the distribution of EGFR impact on patients survival. Emphasizing the role of EGFR and HER-2 in the context of location contribute to make appropriate treatment strategy and improve prognosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Recent study showed that early gastric cancer (EGC) with Lauren mixed-type (MT) histology is associated with worse prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the clinicopathologic features and prognostic significance of Lauren MT-EGCs that meets the criteria for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS We reviewed 2665 patients with EGC who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2015. The clinicopathologic features and invasiveness including lymph node metastasis (LNM) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) of MT-EGC were compared with those of intestinal type and diffuse type by Lauren histology. RESULTS Among 2665 patients, EGCs in 241 (9%) patients were classified as MT. Tumor size was larger and depth of invasion was greater than other histology. Among patients with MT-EGC, 16.6% (40/241) showed LNM and 22.8% (55/241) showed lymphatic invasion, which were significantly higher than that of patients with other Lauren types (8.2% and 15.3% in intestinal type and 9.1% and 8.7% in diffuse type, P < 0.001). This finding remained significant even after adjusting for depth of invasion. However, when we analyzed the patient groups who met the absolute or expanded criteria of ESD, no significant difference was observed in the rates of LNM or LVI or cancer mortality by Lauren classification. CONCLUSION Mixed-type early gastric cancer (MT-EGC) exhibited larger tumor size, greater depth of invasion, and higher risk of LNM and LVI. However, among the patients who met the absolute or expanded criteria of ESD, no significant difference was observed in LNM, LVI, and gastric cancer mortality risk.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-expression gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinomas (GEA) gained interest as an important target for therapy with trastuzumab. In the current review, we focused the current knowledge on HER2 status in dysplastic and neoplastic gastric conditions, analyzing the methodological procedures to identify HER2 expression/amplification, as well as the proposed scoring recommendations. One of the most relevant questions to evaluate the useful impact of HER2 status on therapeutic choice in GEAs is represented by the significant heterogeneity of HER2 protein and gene expression that may affect the targeted treatment selection. Future development of biotechnology will continue to evolve in order to offer more powerful detection systems for the assessment of HER2 status. Finally, liquid biopsy as well as mutation/amplification of several additional genes may furnish an early detection of secondary HER2 resistance mechanisms in GEAs with a better monitoring of the treatment response.

[PMID: 32020404 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-019-06629-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of CT radiomics for the preoperative distinction of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 187 consecutive patients with preoperative contrast CT examination and pathologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a training set (n = 150) and a test set (n = 37). Arterial phase (AP), portal phase (PP), and delay phase (DP) images were retrieved for analysis. A dedicated postprocessing software was used to segment the lesions and extract radiomics features. Random forest (RF) algorithm was applied to construct the classifier models. A nomogram was developed by incorporating multiphase radiomics scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the performance of the radiomics model and nomogram in both sets. RESULTS The radiomics model showed a favorable capability in the distinction of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas. The areas under curves (AUCs) of the AP, PP, and DP radiomics models were 0.754 (95% CI: 0.676, 0.820), 0.815 (95% CI: 0.744, 0.874), and 0.764 (95% CI: 0.688, 0.829) in the training set, respectively, which were confirmed in the test set with AUCs of 0.742 (95% CI: 0.572, 0.872), 0.775 (95% CI: 0.608, 0.895), and 0.857 (95% CI: 0.703, 0.950), respectively. The nomogram yielded excellent performance for distinguishing intestinal-type adenocarcinomas in both sets, with AUCs of 0.928 (95%: 0.875, 0.964) and 0.904 (95% CI: 0.761, 0.976). CONCLUSIONS The multiphase CT radiomics nomogram holds promise for the individual preoperative discrimination of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma. KEY POINTS • CT radiomics has a potential role in the distinction of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas. • Single-phase enhanced CT-based radiomics showed favorable capability in distinguishing intestinal-type tumors. • The nomogram which incorporates the multiphase radiomics scores could facilitate the individual prediction of intestinal-type lesions.

Abstract
The geographical location and differences in tumor biology significantly change the management of gastric cancer. The prevalence of gastric cancer ranks fifth and sixth among men and women, respectively, in Turkey. The international guidelines from the Eastern and Western countries fail to manage a considerable amount of inconclusive issues in the management of gastric cancer. The uncertainties lead to significant heterogeneities in clinical practice, lack of homogeneous data collection, and subsequently, diverse outcomes. The physicians who are professionally involved in the management of gastric cancer at two institutions in Istanbul, Turkey, organized a consensus meeting to address current problems and plan feasible, logical, measurable, and collective solutions in their clinical practice for this challenging disease. The evidence-based data and current guidelines were reviewed. The gray zones in the management of gastric cancer were determined in the first session of this consensus meeting. The second session was constructed to discuss, vote, and ratify the ultimate decisions. The identification of the T stage, the esophagogastric area, imaging algorithm for proper staging and follow-up, timing and patient selection for neoadjuvant treatment, and management of advanced and metastatic disease have been accepted as the major issues in the management of gastric cancer. The recommendations are presented with the percentage of supporting votes in the results section with related data.

Abstract
Background In recent years, the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) has been increasing worldwide. Emerging evidence shows that microRNAs (miRs) may be involved in the pathogenesis of GC. Thus, this study explored the mediatory role of miR-495 in GC chemosensitivity, and investigated the mechanism by which it affects the biological behaviors of GC cells via the mTOR signaling pathway. Material/Methods After GC and paracancerous tissue collection, the positive rate of ERBB2 and mTOR was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Subsequently, the expression of miR-495, ERBB2, and mTOR was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis. Next, the targeting relationship between miR-495 and ERBB2 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. In addition, chemosensitivity and proliferation were detected by MTT assay and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. Results We found higher positive rates of ERBB2 and mTOR and decreased expression of miR-495 in GC tissues and showed that ERBB2 is the target gene of miR-495. Furthermore, we determined that overexpression of miR-495 and silencing of ERBB2 enhanced GC cell chemosensitivity and apoptosis, but inhibited GC cell proliferation. We also found that the effect of miR-495 inhibition was lost when ERBB2 was suppressed. Conclusions The key findings of our study demonstrate that the miR-495 exerts promotive effects on GC chemosensitivity via inactivation of the mTOR signaling pathway by suppressing ERBB2. The study provides reliable evidence supporting the use of miR-495 as a novel potential target in the chemotherapy of GC.
