Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with standard D2 dissection is a complex procedure usually performed only by experienced surgeons, and the feasibility of this procedure still remains unclear.Method: Patients who underwent LADG at the Cancer Institute Hospital between April 2006 and October 2008 were recruited for this study. Early surgical outcomes were compared between patients who underwent complete D2 dissection (complete D2 group; n = 42) and those who underwent D1 + beta dissection (D1 + beta group; n = 179) to determine the feasibility of laparoscopic D2 lymph node dissection.Results: In complete D2 group, the operation time was longer (253 +/- 10 vs 224 +/- 4 min; P = 0.005), and the number of retrieved lymph nodes was larger (41 +/- 2 vs 35 +/- 1; P = 0.002) compared with those in D1 + beta group. The other early surgical outcomes monitored for the two groups were not different between groups.Conclusions: LADG with complete D2 lymph node dissection can be performed safely if the procedure is standardized and an experienced laparoscopic surgeon performs the surgery. To be accepted as a standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer, well-designed prospective trial is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for advanced gastric cancer is rarely performed because of the high frequency of associated morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the limited indication of PD for advanced gastric cancer. From January 1984 and December 2005 patient’s charts were reviewed and outcomes after PD for gastric cancer were compared between two subgroups; those with a ‘high’ number (7≤ group) of lymph node metastases and those with ‘low’ numbers (6≥ group). PD was intraoperatively selected because of direct tumor invasion into the pancreas (52.2% of the 7≤ group vs 12.5% of the 6≥ group) or pancreatic lymph node infiltration (47.8% of the 7≤ group vs 87.5% of the 6≥ group; P = 0.058). The postoperative histological analysis showed 22 cases from 23 (95.7%) in 7≤ group with T3 or T4 tumor, compared with only 4 cases (50%) in 6≥ group ( P = 0.014). The 5-year survival rates were significantly better in the 6≥ group compared with the 7≤ group ( P = 0.014). The indication for PD in advanced gastric cancer should consider the degree of extensive lymph node metastases and incurable factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Early gastric cancer without lymph node metastasis has been reported after the analysis of many cases, and a consensus has been reached about this condition. We report two cases of node-positive differentiated sm1 gastric cancer without lymphatic invasion into the submucosal layer. Case 1 was a 73-year-old man who underwent EMR for 0-IIc early gastric cancer (EGC) on the gastric angle, with a histological diagnosis of tub1. Pathological examination revealed a 0-IIc lesion that was 12 mm in size and sm1 in invasion depth without lymphatic-vascular invasion. However, the infiltration in the submucosal layer was relatively wide. The patient subsequently underwent distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection. Pathological examination revealed level 2 lymph node metastasis. Case 2 was a 62-year-old woman who underwent ER for a 0-I+IIc-type EGC on the greater curvature of the antrum, with a histological diagnosis of tub1. Pathological examination revealed a 0-I+IIc-type lesion that was 15 mm in size and sm1 in depth. Lymphatic invasions in the muscularis mucosa were found, but none were seen in the submucosal layer. Two years later, follow-up computed tomography (CT) showed a lymph node swelling in the infrapyloric region. Distal gastrectomy with D2 dissection was then performed, and pathological examination revealed level 1 lymph node metastasis. Although the lesions in both patients satisfied the criteria of Gotoda et al. for minimal risk of nodal involvement, lymph node metastasis was observed in these patients. Curative surgery with lymph node dissection is thus required in patients with wide infiltration of the submucosal layer or lymphatic invasion in the muscularis mucosa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Although the number of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) treated by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has increased, the appropriate strategy for treating those with incomplete resection has not been established. Methods. This study analyzed 726 cases of EGC in patients treated by EMR between 1991 and 2000, in order to clarify the en-bloc and complete resection rates. We classified patients with incomplete resection into four groups according to the estimated risk of residual cancer or lymph node (LN) metastasis, determined from pathological findings of EMR specimens. We then analyzed 45 patients with EGC treated surgically after incomplete EMR, with the aim of eliciting the risk of residual cancer and LN metastasis. Results. Of the 726 patients, 529 (72.9%) had an en-bloc resection, while 378 (52.1%) had a complete resection. Three hundred and nine patients were found to have mucosal cancer and lateral cut-end-positive status with no LN metastasis (group A). In this group, 18 patients (5.8%) had residual cancer, with the lesions in the majority of patients being limited to the mucosal layer. Group B consisted of 14 patients with differentiated and submucosal (sm1) depth cancers, with 1 patient having residual cancer and 2 patients having LN metastasis. Fifteen patients were classified as group C, with sm2 or greater and vertical cut end-negative status, with 2 showing residual cancer and 1 showing LN metastasis. Group D included 10 patients with vertical cut end-positive status. Four of these patients had residual cancer while 1 had LN metastasis. Conclusion. We recommend that patients in group A should have close follow-up or endoscopic treatment, while those in groups B, C, or D should be treated by gastrectomy associated with LN dissection.

LIVER metastasis ,SURGERY ,METASTASIS ,LIVER cancer ,THERAPEUTICS ,TUMORS - Abstract
The article discusses the resection of colorectal liver metastases. Surgical resection is indicated in patients with metastatic liver cancer if the preoperative and intraoperative diagnoses indicate that the tumor mass can be safely and completely resected. Hepatocellular carcinoma is well-known to display a high affinity for the portal vein and shows a transportal pattern of spread. Although the response rate for nonsurgical treatment of colorectal liver metastases has increased, such treatment is frequently not curative. To reiterate, the goal of treatment should be to completely remove tumors by resection whenever possible.

We report a patient with a minute gastric carcinoid tumor with lymph node metastasis, and a small gastric cancer. A 50-year-old man having a diagnosis of an elevated lesion on the anterior wall of the gastric body, detected by a series of upper gastrointestinal examinations, was referred to the Cancer Institute Hospital. Careful upper fluoroscopy disclosed a small superficial depressed lesion with converging folds and a superficial elevated lesion covered with nonspecific gastric mucosa. With a final preoperative diagnosis of depressed early cancer and minute carcinoid tumor of the stomach, made by upper gastrointestinal examinations including biopsy, the patient underwent segmental gastrectomy and perigastric lymph node dissection. Histological examination of the resected specimen revealed a lymph node metastasis from a gastric carcinoid tumor of 5-mm diameter, in addition to an early gastric cancer of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Small gastric carcinoid tumors have been regarded as being benign neoplasms biologically. However, the case we present suggests that attention should be paid to the possibility of metastasis at the time of treatment for a minute sporadic gastric carcinoid tumor. We therefore discuss the malignant potential of these tumors, mainly from the viewpoint of histopathological classification, to gain understanding so that the patients can be treated adequately.

A 73-year-old man presented with an abnormal gastric shadow during a check-up of atomic bomb survivors. Radiological examination and endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract revealed a protruding tumor, type 0-I+IIa, on the lesser curvature of the midstomach. An initial diagnosis of early gastric cancer was made and a segmental gastrectomy was planned. However, distal gastrectomy with D3 lymph node dissection was necessary, because intraoperative frozen section showed that the paraaortic lymph nodes (N3) were positive for cancer. The tumor in the resected specimen was, microscopically, a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (tub1) with pT2 (MP), pN3, ly2, and v1, in final (f) stage IV. The tumor cells of the type 0-I segment appeared as gastric phenotype and those of the type 0-IIa segment as intestinal phenotype. The border between the two was distinct. The tumor had focally invaded the muscularis propria where only the gastric phenotype was shown and the histological type became less differentiated. Thus, special attention should be paid to possible unexpected deep-wall invasion and lymph node metastasis in well-differentiated adenocarcinomas of the gastric phenotype. Further, in this patient, diffusely proliferating low-grade lymphoma was also observed incidentally in the gastric mucosa within and around the carcinoma. This was diagnosed as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type lymphoma with aberrant expression of BCL10. Finally, this case was considered to be a colliding gastric and intestinal phenotype well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach developed in an area involved by MALT-type lymphoma. Because no Helicobacter pylori was detected throughout the mucosae and the patient had no history of its infection, the three tumors may have developed under the same conditions as those seen in Helicobacter pylori infection, but without this infection.

Background: Selected cases of clinical mucosal gastric cancer can be treated endoscopically. But mucosal gastric cancer, which has a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis, should be treated by gastrectomy with lymph node dissection. Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy is usually indicated for the surgical treatment of mucosal gastric cancer. Study Design: From April 2005 to December 2007, 148 consecutive patients with clinical mucosal gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy were investigated to clarify the clinicopathologic findings in this patient group. Results: Of the patients who underwent gastrectomy, 93 (63%) had tumors>20 mm in diameter and 92 (62%) had undifferentiated cancer. The frequency of lymph node metastasis was 8% (12 patients). One patient had second-compartment lymph node metastasis (station 8a). In patients with lymph node metastasis, 11 (92%) had an ulcer scar and 11 (92%) had undifferentiated tumors. None of the patients met the criteria for extended endoscopic submucosal dissection. Conclusions: The incidence of lymph node metastasis in patients with mucosal gastric cancer in whom gastrectomy is indicated is higher than reported previously. More careful consideration is needed for the possibility of lymph node metastasis in this era of endoscopic submucosal dissection. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
