Abstract
BACKGROUND Oesophago-gastric cancers have had sharply different and changing incidence patterns depending on subsite and histology, but incidence data for the last few years are missing. We aimed to provide updated incidence trends of oesophago-gastric tumours by subsite and histology in Sweden. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Swedish Cancer Registry provided data for 74,303 patients with oesophago-gastric cancer aged ≥50 years in 1970-2020. The focus was on the last available 6-year period, i.e., from 2015 until 2020 inclusive. We calculated yearly age-standardized and sex-specific incidence rates per 100,000 person-years, with the age distribution (in 5-year age groups) of the Swedish population in year 2000 as reference. RESULTS For oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the incidence continued to decrease between 2015 and 2020 (from 6.46 to 5.53/100,000 person-years in men, and from 4.26 to 3.78/100,000 person-years in women). For oesophageal adenocarcinoma, the earlier increasing incidence rates rather slightly decreased in men between 2015 and 2020 (from 12.39 to 11.70/100,000 person-years) and increased marginally in women (from 2.49 to 2.85/100,000 person-years). The incidence rates of cardia adenocarcinoma were stable between 2015 and 2020 (from 9.83 to 10.13/100,000 person-years in men, and from 2.21 to 2.41/100,000 person-years in women). For gastric non-cardia adenocarcinoma, the incidence rates continued to decrease between 2015 and 2020 (from 14.67 to 13.29/100,000 person-years in men, and from 9.37 to 8.14/100,000 person-years in women). There were no major age-group differences in recent incidence trends. CONCLUSION The 6-year period from 2015 to 2020 inclusive has witnessed stabilising incidence rates of oesophageal and cardia adenocarcinoma in Sweden, whereas the incidence rates of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma and non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma have continued to decrease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate and quantify the relationship between coffee and gastric cancer using a uniquely large dataset from an international consortium of observational studies on gastric cancer, including data from 18 studies, for a total of 8198 cases and 21 419 controls. METHODS A two-stage approach was used to obtain the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for coffee drinkers versus never or rare drinkers. A one-stage logistic mixed-effects model with a random intercept for each study was used to estimate the dose-response relationship. Estimates were adjusted for sex, age and the main recognized risk factors for gastric cancer. RESULTS Compared to never or rare coffee drinkers, the estimated pooled OR for coffee drinkers was 1.03 (95% CI, 0.94-1.13). When the amount of coffee intake was considered, the pooled ORs were 0.91 (95% CI, 0.81-1.03) for drinkers of 1-2 cups per day, 0.95 (95% CI, 0.82-1.10) for 3-4 cups, and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.79-1.15) for five or more cups. An OR of 1.20 (95% CI, 0.91-1.58) was found for heavy coffee drinkers (seven or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day). A positive association emerged for high coffee intake (five or more cups per day) for gastric cardia cancer only. CONCLUSIONS These findings better quantify the previously available evidence of the absence of a relevant association between coffee consumption and gastric cancer.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption is causally linked to several cancers but the evidence for stomach cancer is inconclusive. In our study, the association between long-term alcohol intake and risk of stomach cancer and its subtypes was evaluated. We performed a pooled analysis of data collected at baseline from 491 714 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition and the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for incident stomach cancer in relation to lifetime alcohol intake and group-based life course intake trajectories, adjusted for potential confounders including Helicobacter pylori infection. In all, 1225 incident stomach cancers (78% noncardia) were diagnosed over 7 094 637 person-years; 984 in 382 957 study participants with lifetime alcohol intake data (5 455 507 person-years). Although lifetime alcohol intake was not associated with overall stomach cancer risk, we observed a weak positive association with noncardia cancer (HR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.06 per 10 g/d increment), with a HR of 1.50 (95% CI: 1.08-2.09) for ≥60 g/d compared to 0.1 to 4.9 g/d. A weak inverse association with cardia cancer (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.87-1.00) was also observed. HRs of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.10-1.99) for noncardia and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.26-1.03) for cardia cancer were observed for a life course trajectory characterized by heavy decreasing intake compared to light stable intake (Phomogeneity = .02). These associations did not differ appreciably by smoking or H pylori infection status. Limiting alcohol use during lifetime, particularly avoiding heavy use during early adulthood, might help prevent noncardia stomach cancer. Heterogeneous associations observed for cardia and noncardia cancers may indicate etiologic differences.

Abstract
Background: The prognosis of early cardia cancer and non-cardia cancer is still controversial. It is difficult to collect a large number of cases with complete information in clinical practice. Our study was aimed to identify the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of early cardia gastric cancer and non-cardia gastric cancer. Methods: All cases analyzed were from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The data of the patients with early gastric cancer from 2004 to 2010 was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were distributed to cardia cancer group and non-cardia cancer group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine differences between groups. The competitive risk model was made to compare the association with cardia cancer and non-cardia cancer about the causes of death. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the bias. Results: We found that cardia cancer was more common in male patients and the White than that in non-cardia cancer at early stage, signet ring cell carcinoma was more common in non-cardia cancer, and the differentiation of non-cardia cancer was worse. Univariate analysis showed that age, marital status, race, tumor location, histology, grade, stage, and operation or not can determine the prognosis. And the prognosis of patients with cardia cancer was worse than that of non-cardia cancer, according to lymph node metastasis and the depth of tumor invasion. Multivariate analysis showed cardia cancer was an independent prognostic factor for poor prognosis. After PSM, cardia cancer still exhibited poor prognosis. Conclusions: At early stage, cardia cancer had a poor prognosis compared with non-cardia cancer. The prevention and treatment of early cardia cancer need to be seriously treated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing prevalence of Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), the optimal surgical treatment is not universally agreed. This meta-analysis compares the safety and efficacy between the transhiahtal (TH) approach and the transthoracic (TT) approach. METHODS A systematic and electronic search of several databases was performed up to June 2020. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate article quality and funnel plots were created to identify potential publication bias. The random-effects model was used when significant heterogeneity was identified. RESULTS In total, nine retrospective studies and two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 2331 patients were included. Decreased intraoperative blood loss, shorter hospital stay, lower incidence of pulmonary complications, and longer 3-year overall survival were observed in the TH group. There were no significant differences concerning duration of surgery, R0 resection rate, number of dissected lymph nodes, perioperative mortality and morbidity rate, abdominal complication rate, or anastomotic leak rate. With regard to 5-year overall survival, a potential benefit may be achieved with the TH approach, which requires further confirmation. CONCLUSION In terms of surgery-related and long-term outcomes, the TH approach may be more appropriate for Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of EGJ, especially for esophagus invasion ≤4 cm.

Abstract
Gastric (GC) and esophageal (EC) cancers are highly lethal. Better understanding of molecular abnormalities is needed for new therapeutic targets and biomarkers to be found. Expression of 18 cancer-related genes in 31 paired normal-tumor samples was quantified by reversely-transcribed quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTqPCR) and systemic concentration of 27 cytokines/chemokines/growth factors in 195 individuals was determined using Luminex xMAP technology. Only Ki67, CLDN2, and BCLxL were altered in GC while Ki67, CDKN1A, ODC1, SLC2A1, HIF1A, VEGFA, NOS2, CCL2, PTGS2, IL10, IL10Ra, and ACTA2 were changed in EC. The relatively unaltered molecular GC landscape resulted from high expression of BCLxL, CDKN1A, BCL2, Ki67, HIF1A, VEGFA, ACTA2, TJP1, CLDN2, IL7Ra, ODC1, PTGS2, and CCL2 in non-cancerous tissue. The NOS2 expression and IL-4, IL-9, FGF2, and RANTES secretion were higher in cardiac than non-cardiac GC. Four-cytokine panels (interleukin (IL)-1β/IL-1ra/IL-6/RANTES or IL-1β/IL-6/IL-4/IL-13) differentiated GC from benign conditions with 87–89% accuracy. Our results showed increased proliferative, survival, inflammatory and angiogenic capacity in gastric tumor-surrounding tissue, what might contribute to GC aggressiveness and facilitate cancer recurrence. Further studies are needed to determine the CLDN2 and NOS2 suitability as candidate molecular targets in GC and cardiac GC, respectively, and discern the role of CLDN2 or to verify IL-1β/IL-1ra/IL-6/RANTES or IL-1β/IL-6/IL-4/IL-13 usefulness as differential biomarkers.

Abstract
With the decreasing global trend in the Helicobacter pylori infection rate, compositional changes in the gastric cancer subsites have occurred worldwide. However, the compositional changes in Asian countries, including Japan, remain to be clarified. The aim of this study is to investigate the latest chronological changes in the gastric cancer subsite using a hospital-based registration system in Akita prefecture in Japan. From 2007-2015, subsites of gastric cancers were coded according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-03). The nine-year registration period was divided into the three 3-year periods: 2007-2009, 2010-2012, and 2013-2015. A total of 10,804 cases of gastric cancer were registered. The proportion of cardiac cancer among total gastric cancer slightly but significantly declined from 12.1% in 2007-2009 to 9.2% in 2013-2015 (P < 0.01). Among non-cardia cancer, the proportion of corpus cancer significantly increased from 41.3% to 50.2% during the study period (P < 0.01), while that of antropylorus cancer significantly decreased from 37.6% to 34.3% (P < 0.05). Such compositional changes in the gastric cancer subsite were observed largely in men, regardless of the histologic subtype of cancer. With the decreasing H. pylori infection rate, compositional changes in the gastric cancer subsite are occurring in Japan. While the proportion of cardia and antropylorus cancer is declining, that of corpus cancer is increasing, indicating diverse etiology of gastric carcinogenesis depending on the subsites. Identifying the most common sites of occurrence, may help to improve the efficiency of screening for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Mutations of K-rat sarcoma (K-ras) in patients with cardia cancer and their effects on the expression of fascin were investigated. A total of 90 cardia cancer patients treated in Jining First People's Hospital from March 2014 to March 2017 were randomly selected. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from paraffin-embedded cardia cancer specimens. Pyrosequencing was applied to detect sequences of K-ras gene in all patients and to analyze the mutations of K-ras gene. Then, genotyping of mutations at each mutation site was carried out using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The expression level of fascin in patients was measured via immunohistochemistry and qPCR. The results revealed that among 90 patients with cardia cancer, 21 patients had K-ras mutations (23.3%), including 20 cases of exon 12 mutation and 1 case of exon 13 mutation. Risk factor analyses revealed that alcohol abuse was a high risk factor for mutations (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mutation probability between heterozygotes and homozygotes for four mutations at codon 12 (p>0.05). The heterozygote at codon 13 had a higher mutation probability than homozygote (p<0.05). Immunohistochemistry suggested that the number of positive cells in the mutant group was larger than that in the non-mutant group (p<0.05). The results of qPCR showed that the expression level of fascin gene in the mutant group was 2.3 times higher than that in the non-mutant group (p<0.05). In conclusion, the probability of codon 12 mutation in K-ras gene is increased in patients with cardia cancer, and fascin is highly expressed in mutant patients, which is positively correlated with the mutations in K-ras gene.

Abstract
Preoperative evaluation of the curability of gastric and cardia cancer is important to avoid risks of unnecessary surgery. Our previous study has reported several clinical parameters associated with incurable gastric surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between CA125 and the curability of gastric and cardia cancer.A total of 297 cases of gastric and cardia cancer were analyzed retrospectively, including 153 cases with radical surgery and 144 with surgery for incurable gastric or cardia cancer. χ test was performed to analyze the associations between curability or incurable factors and clinicopathological data, including CA125 value. ROC curves were generated, and cutoff points for curability, T status, N status, peritoneal metastasis, and distant metastasis were found, respectively. Binary logistic regression was performed to verify the associations between dependent variables (curability, T status, N status, peritoneal metastasis, and distant metastasis) and covariates (related clinicopathological data from step 1 and cutoff points from step 2).Esophageal involvement, T grade, and CA125 were risk factors of curability. T grade and Borrmann type were risk factors of T status. T grade and CA125 were risk factors of N status. Age, esophageal involvement, T grade, and CA125 were risk factors of peritoneal metastasis. CA125 was risk factor of distant metastasis.CA125 is a potential biological marker for curability prediction of gastric and cardia cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the West, the subsite incidence of gastric cancer has changed in recent decades, with cancer of the cardia increasing in incidence and that of the more distal stomach decreasing. NW Iran has a very high incidence of upper gastrointestinal cancer and we have examined the anatomical site specific incidence in this geographical region. METHOD AND MATERIALS Of 33 718 patients who visited our clinic from March 2000 to Jan 2003, 3119 (9.3%) with persistent upper gastrointestinal symptoms underwent upper gastrointestinal fibreoptic endoscopy. Exact tumour site, subsite, and axial view were determined. Demographic data including age, sex, and place of residence were assessed. Using matched data from the cancer registry and endoscopic survey, age standardised rates (ASR) for all subsites were calculated. RESULTS Upper gastrointestinal cancer was diagnosed histologically in 499 patients (16.0%). The most frequent site was the gastric cardia (126 (25.3%)) followed by the oesophageal body (90 (18.0%)), antrum (82 (16.4%)), corpus (74 (14.8%)), distal oesophagus (57 (11.4%)), gastro-oesophageal junction (47 (9.4%)), and proximal oesophagus (22 (4.4%)). From axial views of the cardia, 51.4% and 6.8% of tumours were found to originate from the lesser and greater curve, respectively. ASR for gastric cancer were 51.2 in males and 15.4 in females. Cardia cancer with ASR of 26.4 in males and 8.6 in females was the major component of gastric cancer. CONCLUSION NW Iran is a geographical region with a very high incidence of cardia cancer and with the great majority originating from the right side of the cardia. This suggests a locally acting luminal carcinogen. Studying the aetiology of this cancer in NW Iran is likely to increase our understanding of the rising incidence of this cancer throughout the Western world.
