Eleven cases accepted radical resection, 11 cases palliative resec- tion and the remaining 8 underwent exploratory laparotomy. It was emphasized that the detection of stump cancer at a relatively early stage, mainly due to screening programmes for gastrectomised pa- tients, was important in improving its prognosis.展开更多

The incidence of gastric stump cancer(GSC) after PG is increasing. However, little is known about the GSC following PG because very few studies have been conducted on the disease.AIM To clarify clinicopathologic features, perioperative complications, and long-term survival rates after the resection of GSC following PG.METHODS Data for patients with GSC following PG for adenocarcinoma of the EGJ diagnosed between January 1998 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with overall survival(OS). GSC was defined in accordance with the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association.RESULTS A total of 35 patients were identified. The median interval between the initial PGand resection of GSC was 4.9(range 0.7-12) years. In 21 of the 35 patients, the tumor was located in a nonanastomotic site of the gastric stump. Total gastrectomy was performed in 27 patients; the other 8 underwent partial gastrectomy. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients(17.1%). The tumor stage according to the depth of tumor invasion was T1 in 6 patients, T2 in3 patients, T3 in 9 patients, and T4 in 17 patients. Lymph node metastasis was observed in 18 patients. Calculated 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 86.5%, 62.3%,and 54.2%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed advanced T stage to be associated with OS.CONCLUSION This study reveals the characteristics of GSC following PG for adenocarcinoma of the EGJ and suggests that a surgical approach can lead to a satisfactory outcome.展开更多

A 74-yearold man was referred to another hospital with melena. Endoscopic examination revealed a localized ulcerative lesion at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. The diagnosis by endoscopic biopsy was neuroendocrine carcinoma. A total gastrectomy of the remnant stomach with D2 lymphadenectomy was performed at our hospital. The lesion invaded the subserosa, and metastasis was found in two of nine the lymph nodes retrieved. The lesion was positive for synaptophysin and chromogranin A, and the Ki-67 labeling index was 60%. The diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastric stump was confirmed using World Health Organization 2010 criteria. Subsequently, the patient underwent one course of adjuvant chemotherapy with the etoposide plus cisplatin(EP) regimen; however, treatment was discontinued due to grade 3 myelosuppression. The patient showed lymph node metastasis in the region around the gastrojejunal anastomosis in the abdominal cavity 7 mo post-surgery. He then underwent radiotherapy and platinum-based combination chemotherapy; however, the disease progressed and liver recurrence was observed on follow-up computedtomography at 16 mo post-surgery. The patient then received chemotherapy with regimens used for the treatment of small cell lung cancer in first-and secondline settings. The patient died of disease progression 31 months after surgery.展开更多

Pub Med, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CILEA Archive, BMJ Clinical Evidence and Up To Date databases were analyzed. Three hundred eighty-eight manuscripts were retrieved and analyzed and thirteen studies published between 1988 and 2014 were finally selected according to the inclusion criteria, for a total of 145 cases of DSF, which represented our group of study. Only patients with DSF after gastrectomy for malignancy were selected. Data about patients' characteristics, type of treatment, short and long-term outcomes were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS: In the 13 studies different types of treatment were proposed: conservative approach, surgical approach, percutaneous approach and endoscopic approach(3 cases). The overall mortality rate was 11.7% for the entire cohort. The more frequent complications were sepsis, abscesses, peritonitis, bleeding, pneumonia and multi-organ failure. Conservative approach was performed in 6 studies for a total of 79 patients, in patients with stable general condition, often associated with percutaneous approach. A complete resolution of the leakage was achieved in 92.3% of these patients, with a healing time ranging from 17 to 71 d. Surgical approach included duodenostomy, duodenojejunostomy, pancreatoduodenectomy and the use of rectus muscle flap. In-hospital stay of patients who underwent relaparotomy ranged from 1 to 1035 d. The percutaneous approach included drainage of abscesses or duodenostomy(32 cases) and percutaneous biliary diversion(13 cases). The median healing time in this group was 43 d. CONCLUSION: Conservative approach is the treatment of choice, eventually associated with percutaneus drainage. Surgical approach should be reserved for severe cases or when conservative approaches fail.展开更多

So far, surgical resection with curative intent has been the only treatment providing hope for cure; therefore, gastric cancer surgery has become a specialized field in digestive surgery. Gastrectomy with lymph node (LN) dissection for cancer patients remains a challenging procedure which requires skilled, well-trained surgeons who are very familiar with the fast-evolving oncological principles of gastric cancer surgery. As a matter of fact, the extent of gastric resection and LN dissection depends on the size of the disease and gastric cancer surgery has become a patient and “disease-tailored” surgery, ranging from endoscopic resection to laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy and conventional extended multivisceral resections. LN metastases are the most important prognostic factor in patients that undergo curative resection. LN dissection remains the most challenging part of the operation due to the location of LN stations around major retroperitoneal vessels and adjacent organs, which are not routinely included in the resected specimen and need to be preserved in order to avoid dangerous intra- and postoperative complications. Hence, the surgeon is the most important non-TMN prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Subtotal gastrectomy is the treatment of choice for middle and distal-third gastric cancer as it provides similar survival rates and better functional outcome compared to total gastrectomy, especially in early-stage disease with favorable prognosis. Nonetheless, the resection range for middle-third gastric cancer cases and the extent of LN dissection at early stages remains controversial. Due to the necessity of a more extended procedure at advanced stages and the trend for more conservative treatments in early gastric cancer, the indication for conventional subtotal gastrectomy depends on multiple variables. This review aims to clarify and define the actual landmarks of this procedure and the role it plays compared to the whole range of new and old treatment methods.展开更多

文摘Objective:To observe the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric stump cancer(GSC)and evaluate the benefitsof radical surgery of GSC.Methods:The clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative survival time of 37 GSC patientswho underwent surgery were investigated retrospectively.The survival time was compared according to the type of surgicaloperation(radical resection vs palliative operation).Twenty-one cases that received radical resection were analyzed based on thepTMN stage.Survival curves were traced by using Kaplan-Meier methods.Results:Most GSC(32/37)was detected in patientswho had received Billroth Ⅱ reconstruction after partial gastrectomy for benign gastric disease.The lesser curvature side and thesuture line of anastomosis were the most frequent sites where GSC occurred(27/37).Differentiated adenocarcinoma was thedominant histopathological type(24/37).The postoperative 5-year survival rate of early stage GSC patients(n=9)was significantlyhigher than advanced stage GSC(n=12)(55.6% vs 16.5%,x_L^2=11.48,P<0.01).Five-year survival rate of 21 GSC patients withradical resection were 75%(3/4)for stage Ⅰ,60%(3/5)for stage Ⅱ,14.2%(1/7)for stage Ⅲ,and 0%(0/5)for stage Ⅳ respectively.The median survival time of 21 GSC patients who underwent radical resection was longer than those undergoing palliative op-eration(43.0 m vs 13.0 m,X_L^2=36.31,P<0.01),the median survival time of stage Ⅳ patients with radical resection was 23.8months.Conclusions:Without remote metastasis,radical resection for GSC is possible,and is an effective way to improve theprognosis of GSC.Even in stage Ⅳ GSC,radical resection can still prolong the survival time.It is necessary for the patients withbenign gastric diseases who received partial gastrectomy to carry out the endoscopy follow-up,especially in patients with BillrothⅡ reconstruction procedure at 15-20 years.
文摘The clinical data of 30 patients with GSC after partial gastrectomy for benign gastric dis- eases were analyzed retrospectively. Eleven cases accepted radical resection, 11 cases palliative resec- tion and the remaining 8 underwent exploratory laparotomy. It was emphasized that the detection of stump cancer at a relatively early stage, mainly due to screening programmes for gastrectomised pa- tients, was important in improving its prognosis.

文摘BACKGROUND Proximal gastrectomy(PG) is performed widely as a function-preserving operation for early gastric cancer located in the upper third of the stomach and is an important function-preserving approach for esophagogastric junction(EGJ)adenocarcinoma. The incidence of gastric stump cancer(GSC) after PG is increasing. However, little is known about the GSC following PG because very few studies have been conducted on the disease.AIM To clarify clinicopathologic features, perioperative complications, and long-term survival rates after the resection of GSC following PG.METHODS Data for patients with GSC following PG for adenocarcinoma of the EGJ diagnosed between January 1998 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with overall survival(OS). GSC was defined in accordance with the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association.RESULTS A total of 35 patients were identified. The median interval between the initial PGand resection of GSC was 4.9(range 0.7-12) years. In 21 of the 35 patients, the tumor was located in a nonanastomotic site of the gastric stump. Total gastrectomy was performed in 27 patients; the other 8 underwent partial gastrectomy. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients(17.1%). The tumor stage according to the depth of tumor invasion was T1 in 6 patients, T2 in3 patients, T3 in 9 patients, and T4 in 17 patients. Lymph node metastasis was observed in 18 patients. Calculated 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 86.5%, 62.3%,and 54.2%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed advanced T stage to be associated with OS.CONCLUSION This study reveals the characteristics of GSC following PG for adenocarcinoma of the EGJ and suggests that a surgical approach can lead to a satisfactory outcome.

文摘We herein report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastric stump found 47 years after Billroth II gastric resection for a benign gastric ulcer. A 74-yearold man was referred to another hospital with melena. Endoscopic examination revealed a localized ulcerative lesion at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. The diagnosis by endoscopic biopsy was neuroendocrine carcinoma. A total gastrectomy of the remnant stomach with D2 lymphadenectomy was performed at our hospital. The lesion invaded the subserosa, and metastasis was found in two of nine the lymph nodes retrieved. The lesion was positive for synaptophysin and chromogranin A, and the Ki-67 labeling index was 60%. The diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastric stump was confirmed using World Health Organization 2010 criteria. Subsequently, the patient underwent one course of adjuvant chemotherapy with the etoposide plus cisplatin(EP) regimen; however, treatment was discontinued due to grade 3 myelosuppression. The patient showed lymph node metastasis in the region around the gastrojejunal anastomosis in the abdominal cavity 7 mo post-surgery. He then underwent radiotherapy and platinum-based combination chemotherapy; however, the disease progressed and liver recurrence was observed on follow-up computedtomography at 16 mo post-surgery. The patient then received chemotherapy with regimens used for the treatment of small cell lung cancer in first-and secondline settings. The patient died of disease progression 31 months after surgery.
文摘AIM: To identify the most effective treatment of duodenalstump fistula(DSF) after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed.

Three hundred eighty-eight manuscripts were retrieved and analyzed and thirteen studies published between 1988 and 2014 were finally selected according to the inclusion criteria, for a total of 145 cases of DSF, which represented our group of study. Only patients with DSF after gastrectomy for malignancy were selected. Data about patients' characteristics, type of treatment, short and long-term outcomes were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS: In the 13 studies different types of treatment were proposed: conservative approach, surgical approach, percutaneous approach and endoscopic approach(3 cases). The overall mortality rate was 11.7% for the entire cohort. The more frequent complications were sepsis, abscesses, peritonitis, bleeding, pneumonia and multi-organ failure. Conservative approach was performed in 6 studies for a total of 79 patients, in patients with stable general condition, often associated with percutaneous approach. A complete resolution of the leakage was achieved in 92.3% of these patients, with a healing time ranging from 17 to 71 d. Surgical approach included duodenostomy, duodenojejunostomy, pancreatoduodenectomy and the use of rectus muscle flap. In-hospital stay of patients who underwent relaparotomy ranged from 1 to 1035 d. The percutaneous approach included drainage of abscesses or duodenostomy(32 cases) and percutaneous biliary diversion(13 cases). The median healing time in this group was 43 d. CONCLUSION: Conservative approach is the treatment of choice, eventually associated with percutaneus drainage. Surgical approach should be reserved for severe cases or when conservative approaches fail.
文摘This is a very rare case of the recurrence of gastric cancer in the jejunal stump after radical total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.In January 2008,a 65-year-old man underwent radical total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction for stageⅠB gastric cancer of the upper body.At a follow-up in December2011,the patient had a recurrence of gastric cancer on gastroduodenal fibroscopy.The gastroduodenal fibroscopic biopsy specimens show a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma.Computed tomography showed no lymphadenopathy or hepatic metastases.At laparotomy,there was a tumor in the jejunal stump involving the pancreatic tail and spleen.Therefore,the patient underwent jejunal pouch resection,distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy.The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer on histopathological examination.
文摘Although a steady decline in the incidence and mortality rates of gastric carcinoma has been observed in the last century worldwide, the absolute number of new cases/year is increasing because of the aging of the population. So far, surgical resection with curative intent has been the only treatment providing hope for cure; therefore, gastric cancer surgery has become a specialized field in digestive surgery. Gastrectomy with lymph node (LN) dissection for cancer patients remains a challenging procedure which requires skilled, well-trained surgeons who are very familiar with the fast-evolving oncological principles of gastric cancer surgery. As a matter of fact, the extent of gastric resection and LN dissection depends on the size of the disease and gastric cancer surgery has become a patient and “disease-tailored” surgery, ranging from endoscopic resection to laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy and conventional extended multivisceral resections. LN metastases are the most important prognostic factor in patients that undergo curative resection. LN dissection remains the most challenging part of the operation due to the location of LN stations around major retroperitoneal vessels and adjacent organs, which are not routinely included in the resected specimen and need to be preserved in order to avoid dangerous intra- and postoperative complications. Hence, the surgeon is the most important non-TMN prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Subtotal gastrectomy is the treatment of choice for middle and distal-third gastric cancer as it provides similar survival rates and better functional outcome compared to total gastrectomy, especially in early-stage disease with favorable prognosis. Nonetheless, the resection range for middle-third gastric cancer cases and the extent of LN dissection at early stages remains controversial. Due to the necessity of a more extended procedure at advanced stages and the trend for more conservative treatments in early gastric cancer, the indication for conventional subtotal gastrectomy depends on multiple variables. This review aims to clarify and define the actual landmarks of this procedure and the role it plays compared to the whole range of new and old treatment methods.
文摘The Maastricht IV/Florence Consensus Report and the Second Asia-Pacific Consensus Guidelines strongly recommend eradication of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)in patients with previous gastric neoplasia who have undergone gastric surgery.However,the guidelines do not mention optimal timing,eradication regimens,diagnostic tools,and follow-up strategies for patients undergoing gastrectomy and do not indicate if eradication of H.pylori reduces the risk of marginal ulcer or stump cancer in the residual stomach after gastrectomy.The purpose of this review is to provide an update which may help physicians to properly manage H.pylori infection in patients who have undergone gastric surgery.This review focuses on(1)the microenvironment change in the stomach after gastrectomy;(2)the phenomenon of spontaneous clearance of H.pylori after gastrectomy;(3)the effects of H.pylori on gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia after gastrectomy;(4)incidence and clinical features of ulcers developing after gastrectomy;(5)does eradication of H.pylori reduce the risk of gastric stump cancer in the residual stomach?(6)does eradication of H.pylori reduce the risk of secondary metachronous gastric cancer in the residual stomach?and(7)optimal timing and regimens for H.pylori eradication,diagnostic tools and follow-up strategies for patients undergoing gastrectomy.
文摘BACKGROUND Cutaneous metastasis is a rare event associated with poor prognosis for gastric cancer and has been rarely reported in the literature.CASE SUMMARY A 69-year-old male patient who had undergone salvage gastrectomy and a few courses of adjuvant chemotherapy 3 mo earlier for recurrent gastric cancer developed widespread cutaneous metastases.Due to the patient’s intolerance to further adjuvant chemotherapy,he was placed in hospice care and expired 1 mo later.In the literature,gastric cancers are rarely reported as the primary malignancies for cutaneous metastasis.We,thus,provide an update on a case review published in 2014 by reviewing 10 more case reports dated from 2014 to 2020.The average age for the new group of patients was 59.4±18.88-years-old.Thirty percent of the patients presented with cutaneous lesions and advanced gastric cancer synchronously while 70%developed cutaneous metastases 1.3 years to 14 years after the initial treatment for primary gastric cancer.Eighty percent of the patients received either local excision or chemo±radiation therapy to treat their cutaneous metastases.CONCLUSION This report highlights cutaneous metastasis as a late and untreatable metastasis of gastric cancer.
文摘BACKGROUND Remnant gastric cancer(RGC)is defined as a tumor that develops in the stomach after a previous gastrectomy and is generally associated with a worse prognosis.However,there little information available regarding RGCs and their prognostic factors and survival.AIM To evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of RGC after previous gastrectomy for benign disease.METHODS Patients who underwent curative resection for primary gastric cancer(GC)at our institute between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.All RGC resections with histological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma were enrolled in this study.Primary proximal GC(PGC)who underwent total gastrectomy was selected as the comparison group.Clinical and pathological data were collected from a prospective medical database.RESULTS A total of 41 patients with RGC and 120 PGC were included.Older age(P=0.001),lower body mass index(P=0.006),hemoglobin level(P<0.001),and number of resected lymph nodes resected(LN)(P<0.001)were associated with the RGC group.Lauren type,pathological tumor-node-metastasis,and perioperative morbimortality were similar between RGC and PGC.There was no difference in disease-free survival(P=0.592)and overall survival(P=0.930)between groups.LN status was the only independent factor related to survival.CONCLUSION RGC had similar clinicopathological characteristics to PGC.Despite the lower number of resected LN,RGC had a similar prognosis.
