Background The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis comparing the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic versus open resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) larger than 5 cm. Method We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase for relevant articles. Randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials were identified and included in this study. Searching for related articles on large GIST (>5 cm) for laparoscopic resection (laparoscopic group [LAPG]) and open resection (open group [OG]), RevMan 5.3 was used for data analysis, comparing 2 groups of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, length of hospital stay, recurrence rate, disease-free survival, and overall survival. Results Seven studies including 440 patients were identified for the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis revealed that LAPG had less bleeding, shorter postoperative hospital stay, and a better 5-year disease-free survival. There was no significant difference between LAPG and OG in operation time, postoperative complications, recurrence rate, and overall survival. Conclusion Laparoscopic resection of large (>5 cm) GIST is safe and feasible and has the advantages of less intraoperative blood loss and fast postoperative recovery, with a good outcome in the recent oncology.

91 Background: Despite the recent introduction of imatinib and laparoendoscopic techniques to the management of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), outcomes remain uncertain in the setting of multivisceral involvement. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 69 consecutive patients who underwent resection of gastric GISTs from October 2002 through August 2011. Median follow-up was 19 months (interquartile range [IQR] 4-37). Results: Patients were 51% female, with a mean age of 65 ± 13 years and BMI of 30 ± 8 kg/m2. Patients undergoing multivisceral resection (n=13) had a longer interval from diagnosis to surgery (7.4 [IQR 1.9 – 15.0] vs. 1.3 [IQR 0.7-3.5] months, p<0.01), greater use of neoadjuvant imatinib (62% vs. 4%, p<0.001), and greater preoperative tumor size (12 ± 8 vs. 4 ± 3 cm, p<0.001) in comparison to gastric-only resections (n=56). Patients were less likely to be managed laparoscopically (8% vs. 71%, p<0.001), had a longer operative time (286 ± 92 vs. 152 ± 65 min, p<0.001), and were less likely to be R0 (69% vs. 98%, p<0.001). While patients undergoing multivisceral resection were more likely to have a pathological complete response to therapy (23% vs. 0, p<0.01), they were also more likely to have metastatic disease present (31% vs. 0, p<0.01). Hospital length of stay was greater (median 8 [IQR 7-9] vs. 3 [IQR 2-6] days, p<0.001). There were no significant differences in grade or mitotic index between groups, or in the use of adjuvant imatinib (54% vs. 23%). Overall survival was less in patients undergoing multivisceral resection (63% vs. 86% at 3 years, p<0.05), as was disease-free survival (52% vs. 71% at 3 years, p<0.05). Median disease-free survival was 50 and 66 months, respectively (p<0.01). Controlling for tumor size, grade, resection status, and the use of neoadjuvant imatinib, multivisceral resection was an independent predictor of disease-free survival (p<0.05). Conclusions: Multivisceral involvement is associated with tumors of greater size, and despite an increased use of neoadjuvant imatinib, it is associated with poor outcome for patients with gastric GISTs.

The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical outcome of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and to determine new prognostic factors. We perform a retrospective study of all the patients diagnosed with GIST in any location and operated on between 2000 and 2008 at our institution. We analyzed 35 patients, 16 males (45.7%) and 19 females (54.3%), with a mean age of 64 ± 13.8 years. The tumors were located in the stomach in 22 patients (62.9%), in the small bowel in 10 (28.6%), and the retroperitoneum in three (8.6%). Referring to gastric GIST, endoscopy revealed an ulceration in the mucosa in five cases, suggesting an epithelial neoplasm. In all these cases, pathology of the biopsy specimen was nonconclusive. Survival rate at 1 and 5 years was 94.3 and 88.6 per cent, respectively. Disease-free survival at 1 and 2 years was 91.4 and 88.6 per cent, respectively. Analyzing prognostic factors, a lower disease-free survival was observed among patients with constitutional syndrome at diagnosis ( P = 0.000), small bowel GIST ( P = 0.037), and tumors not expressing actin ( P = 0.015). A lower global survival was observed among men ( P = 0,036), patients with an abdominal mass ( P = 0.033) or with constitutional syndrome ( P = 0.007) at diagnosis and tumors at a retroperitoneal location ( P = 0.0002). Gastric GIST may be confused with epithelial neoplasms, modifying the surgery. In our patients, masculine gender, constitutional syndrome and abdominal mass at diagnosis, small bowel and retroperitoneal location, and actin negative tumors are bad prognostic factors.

Background: To evaluate the overall survival, disease free survival, clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) who were treated at Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital. Methods: A retrospective review data of 39 GISTs patients who underwent surgery at Vajira hospital from 2007 to 2011 was performed. The patient characteristics, overall survival, disease-free survival of patients and prognostic factors were evaluated. Results: The median age of patients was 60 years (22-90 years), 54% were female and the main presenting symptom was abdominal pain (33%). Stomach (62%) and small intestine (30%) were the most common locations of tumor respectively. Complete resections (R0) were performed in 31 patients (80% ). All patients (100%) were positive for CD117 and 84.6% for CD34. According to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology criteria, 56.4% of patients were characterized as a high risk. With a median follow-up time of 46 months (1-139 months). The overall survival and disease-free survival at 5 years were 84.6% and 66.7%, respectively. Two patients received Imatinib in neoadjuvant setting while 10 patients for disease control. Eight patients (20.5%) developed recurrences. R0 resection, mitotic figure and location of tumor were the significant prognostic factors. Conclusions: The overall survival and disease-free survival at 5 years were 84.6% and 66.7%, respectively. R0 resection, mitotic figure and location of tumor were the significant prognostic factors. Keywords: gastrointestinal stromal tumor; gists; prognostic factors; survival.

e21512 Background: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors are a heterogeneous group of tumors with clinical features and specific genetic alterations, which represent 1-3% of all gastrointestinal cancers. Imatinib, is the standard treatment in advanced and localized disease, and has demonstrated benefit in overall survival, progression free survival and disease free survival. Methods: The primary end point was to evaluate overall survival in patients with locally advanced, metastatic and early stage GIST treated with Imatinib; secondary end points were to evaluate disease-free survival and progression free survival. We included 34 patients with GIST treated between January 2005 and December 2011. Results: The most affected gender was male (55.88%), the average age was 51-60 years (26.47%), and most had localized disease at diagnosis (73.52%), mainly in the stomach (52.94%). As for the primary treatment, 25 underwent surgery (73.5%), applying adjuvant Imatinib in 18 patients (75%).The OS and DFS was higher in patients with localized disease compared with age (p = 0.0001 respectively). Regarding the use of adjuvant Imatinib, it produced clinical benefit in DFS and OS of 50 and 60 months respectively, regardless of risk. In patients with advanced or metastatic disease Imatinib was associated with higher PFS (p = 0.055) and OS (p = 0.1120). Relapses occurred in 24% of patients regardless of risk and the use of Imatinib. Conclusions: In our study we concluded that radical surgery and the use of Imatinib in GIST patients produce important clinical benefits which translate into higher survival rates.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 73 consecutive patients who underwent resection of gastric GISTs from October 2002 through December 2011. Median follow-up was 22 months (interquartile range [IQR] 6-37). Results: Patients were 51% female, with a mean age of 65 ± 12 years and BMI of 30 ± 8 kg/m2. Patients undergoing multivisceral resection (n=14) had a longer interval from diagnosis to surgery (7.3 [IQR 1.9 – 15.0] vs. 1.3 [IQR 0.7-4.2] months, p<0.01), greater use of neoadjuvant imatinib (64% vs. 3%, p<0.0001), and greater preoperative tumor size (12 ± 8 vs. 4 ± 3 cm, p<0.0001) in comparison to gastric-only resections (n=59). Patients were less likely to be managed laparoscopically (7% vs. 71%, p<0.0001), had a longer operative time (310 ± 117 vs. 145 ± 62 min, p<0.0001), and were less likely to be R0 (71% vs. 98%, p<0.001). While patients undergoing multivisceral resection were more likely to have a pathological complete response to therapy (29% vs. 0, p<0.001), they were also more likely to have metastatic disease present (29% vs. 0, p<0.001). Hospital length of stay was greater (median 8 [IQR 6-9] vs. 3 [IQR 2-6] days, p<0.0001). There were no significant differences in grade or mitotic index between groups. There was greater use of adjuvant imatinib (64% vs. 25%, p<0.05). Overall survival was less in patients undergoing multivisceral resection (64% vs. 87% at 3 years, p<0.05), as was disease-free survival (52% vs. 71% at 3 years, p<0.05). Median overall and disease-free survival were 43 and 22 months after multivisceral resection for gastric GISTs. Controlling for tumor size, grade, resection status, and the use of neoadjuvant imatinib, multivisceral resection and use of adjuvant imatinib were both independent predictors of disease-free survival (p<0.05). Conclusions: Multivisceral involvement is associated with tumors of greater size and, despite an increased use of neoadjuvant imatinib, it is associated with poor outcome for patients with gastric GISTs.
