Abstract ObjectiveTo explore the effects of gender and age differences in the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in patients and analysis prognosis of patients of early gastric cancer (EGC). MethodsA total of 411 patients with EGC who underwent surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from 2011 to 2017 were included in this study and grouped according to gender and age. Retrospective analysis of the effects of gender and age on tumor size, histological type, depth of invasion, and ulcer type was performed, and differences in the clinicopathological characteristics of lymphovascular invasion were noted. Follow-up of the postoperative recurrence and metastasis of the patients and analysis of their prognosis were finally conducted. All follow-ups ended in August 2020. ResultThe participants in this study ranged in age from 25 years to 85 years (average, 60.27 ± 10.77 years). A total of 57 (13.9%) of the patients showed lymph node metastasis. Females accounted for 25.5% (105/411) while males accounted for 74.5% (306/411) of the study population. Patients aged ≤60 years accounted for 55.5% (228/411) while patients aged >60 years accounted for 44.5% (183/411) of the study population. Univariate analysis of male patients showed that tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, ulcerative tumors, and lymphovascular invasion are related to lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis of female patients showed that tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, tumor histology, and lymphovascular invasion are related to lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis of patients aged ≤60 years showed that depth of tumor invasion, ulcerative tumors, and lymphovascular invasion are related to lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis of patients aged >60 years showed that depth of tumor invasion, ulcerative tumors, and lymphovascular invasion are related to lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis of male patients, female patients, and patients aged ≤60 years showed that depth of tumor invasion is an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis. Multivariate analysis of patients aged >60 years showed that depth of tumor invasion, ulcerative tumors, and lymphovascular invasion are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis. ConclusionThe risk factors for lymph node metastasis in patients with EGC differed according to gender and age. The results provide a reference for choosing suitable treatment options for these patients.

Abstract Purpose The detection rate of colorectal neuroendocrine tumours (CR-NETs) is increasing, but their treatment is still controversial. Lymph node metastasis is an important reference index for the selection of treatment. The aim of our study was to investigate the factors associated with lymph node metastasis and prognosis of CR-NETs. Methods The case characteristics of patients with colorectal neuroendocrine tumours from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analysed, including age, gender, tumour size, tumour location, lymph node metastasis, pathological grade and follow-up. Results A total of 195 cases of CR-NETs were included in this study. When 15 mm was used as the cut-off value, the sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) of lymph node metastases were 95.9%, 95.2% and 0.986, respectively. Multivariate analysis suggested that tumour size ≥ 15 mm (OR: 30.517, 95% CI: 1.250 ~ 744.996, p = 0.036) and lymphovascular invasion (OR: 42.796, 95% CI: 2.882 ~ 635.571, p = 0.006) were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis. Age ≥ 56 (HR: 7.434, 95% CI: 1.334 ~ 41.443, p = 0.022) and distant metastasis (HR: 24.487, 95% CI: 5.357 ~ 111.940, p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors in multivariable analyses. Conclusions When the size of a CR-NET is ≥ 15 mm, the risk of lymph node metastasis is higher, and it is recommended to choose the surgical method carefully. Tumour size and lymphovascular invasion were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis. Age ≥ 56 and distant metastasis were independent prognostic factors.

Abstract Background Most lymph node metastasis (LNM) models for early gastric cancer (EGC) include lymphovascular invasion (LVI) as a predictor. However, LVI must be confirmed by postoperative pathology. In this study, we aimed to develop a model for predicting the risk of LNM/LVI in EGC using preoperative factors. Methods EGC patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (n = 1460) were selected as the training set. The risk factors of LNM/LVI were investigated. Data from the International study group on Minimally Invasive surgery for GASTRIc Cancer trial (n = 172) were selected as the validation set. Results In the training set, the incidence of LNM/LVI was 21.6%. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of patients with and without LNM/LVI were 92.4 and 95.0%, respectively, with significant difference (P = 0.030). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the four independent risk factors for LNM/LVI were female, tumor larger than 20 mm, submucosal invasion and undifferentiated tumor histological type (all P <  0.05); the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.694 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.659–0.730). Patients were divided into low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk and extremely high-risk groups by recursive partitioning analysis; the incidences of LNM/LVI were 5.4, 12.6, 24.2 and 37.8%, respectively (P <  0.001). The AUC of the validation set was 0.796 (95%CI, 0.662–0.851) and the predictive performance of the LNM/LVI risk in the validation set was consistent with that in the training set. Conclusions The risk of LNM/LVI in differentiated mucosal EGC is low, which indicated that endoscopic resection is a treatment option. The risk of LNM/LVI in undifferentiated mucosal EGC and submucosa EGC are high and gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is suggested.

542 Background: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in submucosally invasive colorectal cancer (SICC) that might be used in selecting patients for local excision. Methods: Records were reviewed from consecutive patients who had undergone curative resection of SICC at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China, between 2006 and 2013. Clinical features such as age, gender, tumor size, and location were reviewed. Histopathologic examinations including tumor growth type, growth pattern at the invasive front, histopathological type, depth of tumor invasion, tumor budding, lymphovascular invasion, and neural invasion were performed. The expression of E-cadherin, p53, and Ki-67 were examined by immunohistochemistry. The association between the clinicopathologic factors and LNM was evaluated. Results: A total of 265 patients (140 men and 125 women) treated for SICC were included. The overall LNM rate was 12.8%. The incidence of LNM was significantly associated with growth pattern at the invasive front (p=0.028), tumor budding (p=0.006), histopathological type (p<0.001), and lymphovascular invasion (p<0.001). Other clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical factors were irrelevant to LNM. In multiple variable logistic analysis, histopathological type, and lymphovascular invasion were the two independent risk factors of LNM (p=0.015 and p=0.007, respectively). Conclusions: Histopathological type and lymphovascular invasion are significant independent risk factors for LNM in SICC. Careful selection for local excision in SICC should be considered.
