Aims and background The 5-year survival rate of early gastric cancer (EGC) is 85%-100% after “curative” resection, as compared to 20%-30% in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Because of this relatively high cure rate, the interest in the diagnosis and therapy of EGC has been steadily increasing. The present study, based on 45 EGCs, is aimed at a critical evaluation of the diagnostic procedures and surgical options. Methods and results Forty-five patients with early gastric cancer (27 men and 18 women; median age, 62 years; range, 28-84) were diagnosed and operated on. They represented 22.5% of all patients with gastric cancer (200) treated in the period July 1987 to January 1998. Forty-one patients were from the northeastern part of Italy. The most frequent symptom was epigastric pain (84%). Barium upper gastrointestinal radiography findings were strongly suggestive of malignancy in 41 cases (91%). Preoperative histopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was performed in 43 cases (95.5%). In two cases (4.5%) severe epithelial dysplasia (associated with ulcer) was the first diagnosis, but the final diagnosis on the basis of the resected specimens was a well differentiated adenocarcinoma. The primary surgical procedure included i) subtotal distal resection (37 cases) with Billroth II (33) and Billroth I (4) reconstructions; ii) total gastrectomy (3) for proximal neoplastic extension; iii) proximal gastric resection (2) for cardial cancer; iv) degastro-total gastrectomy (3) for cancer of the stump. Two patients, previously treated with conservative surgery, underwent degastro-total gastrectomy for neoplastic microfocal extension to the margin of resection and for early anastomotic recurrence, respectively. Mural infiltration was limited to the mucosa and submucosa in 27 and 18 cases, respectively. Lymph node metastases were found in three mucosal and five submucosal tumor cases, involving either the first or the second echelon. No operative deaths or postsurgical complications occurred in this series. In the follow-up period (median, 36 months; range, 3-120) four patients died due to other causes; one developed liver metastases, another developed oropharyngeal cancer and two died of biopsy-proven lung cancer without evidence of gastric cancer recurrence. Conclusions The clinical presentation of EGC is aspecific. Preoperative endoscopy with biopsy remains the most sensitive diagnostic procedure. For treatment, subtotal distal gastric resection with lymphadenectomy is the “gold standard” but in some instances total gastrectomy may be indicated. Accurate pathological examination establishes the depth of infiltration, as well as the superficial extension of tumors and the lymph node status. Although the prognosis of EGC is favorable, a medium-term follow-up should be planned.

Background Although proximal gastrectomy (PG) is a recognized surgical procedure for early proximal gastric cancer, total gastrectomy (TG) is sometimes selected due to concern about severe gastroesophageal reflux. Esophagogastrostomy by the double-flap technique (DFT) is an anti-reflux reconstruction after PG, and its short-term effectiveness has been reported. However, little is known about the long-term effects on nutritional status and quality of life (QOL). Methods Gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted PG (LAPG) with DFT or laparoscopy-assisted TG (LATG) between April 2011 and March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were reviewed to assess nutritional status, and the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale (PGSAS)-45 was used to assess QOL. Results A total of 36 patients (LATG: 17, LAPG: 19) were enrolled. Four of 17 LATG patients (24%) were diagnosed with Stage ≥II after surgery, and half received S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy. BW and PNI were better maintained in LAPG than in LATG patients until 1-year follow-up. Seven of 16 LATG patients (44%) were categorized as “underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2)” at 1-year follow-up, compared to three of 18 LAPG patients (17%; p = 0.0836). The PGSAS-45 showed no significant difference in all QOL categories except for decreased BW (p = 0.0132). Multivariate analysis showed that LATG was the only potential risk factor for severe BW loss (odds ratio: 3.03, p = 0.0722). Conclusions LAPG with DFT was superior to LATG in postoperative nutritional maintenance, and can be the first option for early proximal gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: The use of laparoscopy for the treatment of gastric cancer suffered some resistance among surgeons around the world, gaining strength in the past decade. However, its oncological safety and technical feasibility remain controversial. AIM: To describe the results from the clinical and anatomopathological point of view in the comparative evaluation between the surgical videolaparoscopic and laparotomic treatments of total gastrectomy with linphadenectomy at D2, resection R0. METHOD: Retrospective analyses and comparison data from patients submitted to total gastrectomy with D2 linphadenectomy at a sole institution. The data of 111 patients showed that 64 (57,7%) have been submitted to laparotomic gastrectomy and 47 (42,3%) to gastrectomy entirely performed through videolaparoscopy. All variables related to the surgery, post-operative follow-up and anatomopathologic findings have been evaluated. RESULTS: Among the studied variables, videolaparoscopy has shown a shorter surgical time and a more premature period for the introduction of oral and enteral nourishment than the open surgery. As to the amount of dissected limph nodes, there has been a significant difference towards laparotomy with p=0,014, but the average dissected limph nodes in both groups exceed 25 nodes as recommended by the JAGC. Was not found a significant difference between the studied groups as to age, ASA, type of surgery, need for blood transfusion, stage of the disease, Bormann classification, degree of differentiation, damage of the margins, further complications and death. CONCLUSION: The total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy performed by laparoscopy presented the same benefits known of laparotomy and with the advantages already established of minimally invasive surgery. It was done with less surgical time, less time for re-introduction of the oral and enteral diets and lower hospitalization time compared to laparotomy, without increasing postoperative complications.

Progression Risk

Abstract Introduction Guidelines recommend endoscopy with biopsies to stratify patients with gastric premalignant lesions (GPL) to high and low progression risk. High-risk patients are recommended to undergo surveillance. We aimed to assess the accuracy of guideline recommendations to identify low-risk patients, who can safely be discharged from surveillance. Methods This study includes patients with GPL. Patients underwent at least two endoscopies with an interval of 1–6 years. Patients were defined ‘low risk’ if they fulfilled requirements for discharge, and ‘high risk’ if they fulfilled requirements for surveillance, according to European guidelines (MAPS-2012, updated MAPS-2019, BSG). Patients defined ‘low risk’ with progression of disease during follow-up (FU) were considered ‘misclassified’ as low risk. Results 334 patients (median age 60 years IQR11; 48.7% male) were included and followed for a median of 48 months. At baseline, 181/334 (54%) patients were defined low risk. Of these, 32.6% were ‘misclassified’, showing progression of disease during FU. If MAPS-2019 were followed, 169/334 (51%) patients were defined low risk, of which 32.5% were ‘misclassified’. If BSG were followed, 174/334 (51%) patients were defined low risk, of which 32.2% were ‘misclassified’. Seven patients developed gastric cancer (GC) or dysplasia, four patients were ‘misclassified’ based on MAPS-2012 and three on MAPS-2019 and BSG. By performing one additional endoscopy 72.9% (95% CI 62.4–83.3) of high-risk patients and all patients who developed GC or dysplasia were identified. Conclusion One-third of patients that would have been discharged from GC surveillance, appeared to be ‘misclassified’ as low risk. One additional endoscopy will reduce this risk by 70%.
