Aims: Early gastric cardiac cancer (EGCC) has a low risk of lymph node metastasis with the potential for endoscopic therapy. We aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)-resected EGCCs in a large cohort of Chinese patients and compare endoscopic and clinicopathologic features between EGCC and early gastric non-cardiac cancer (EGNC). Methods: We retrospectively studied 512 EGCCs in 499 consecutive patients and 621 EGNCs in 555 consecutive patients between January 2011 and March 2018 at our center. We investigated clinicopathological characteristics of EGCC tumors, ESD treatment results, adverse events, and postresection patient survival. Results: Compared with EGNC patients, EGCC patients were significantly older (average age: 66 years versus 62 years, p < 0.001). The percentage of the gross 0–IIc pattern was higher in EGCCs (46.1%) than in EGNCs (41.5%), while the frequency of the 0–IIa pattern was lower in EGCCs (14.9%) than in EGNCs (22.4%) ( p = 0.001). Compared with EGNCs, EGCCs showed smaller size, deeper invasion, fewer ulcerated or poorly differentiated tumors, but more cases with gastritis cystica profunda. The prevalence of ESD-related complications was higher in EGCCs (6.1%) than in EGNCs (2.3%) ( p = 0.001). In EGCCs, the disease-specific survival rate was significantly higher in patients of the noncurative resection group with surgery (100%), compared with that (93.9%) without surgery ( p < 0.001). Conclusion: Clinicopathological characteristics were significantly different between EGCCs and EGNCs. ESD is a safe and effective treatment option with favorable outcomes for patients with EGCC. Additional surgery improved survival in patients with noncurative ESD resection.

Objective To investigate the frequency and prognostic role of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 gene (HER2) and BRAF V600E gene mutation in Chinese patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Clinicopathological and survival information from 480 patients with stage I–III CRC were reviewed and recorded. HER2 amplification was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), BRAF V600E mutation was tested by IHC and Sanger sequencing. The relationship between HER2 and BRAF V600E mutation status and clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes were determined. Results The amplification of HER2 and BRAF V600E mutation were identified in 27 of 480 (5.63%) and 19 of 480 (3.96%) CRC patients, respectively. HER2 amplification significantly correlated with greater bowel wall invasion (P = 0.041) and more advanced TNM stage (I vs. II vs. III; 0 vs 5.78% vs. 7.41%, P = 0.013). Patients suffering from tumors with poor differentiation had a higher incidence rate of BRAF V600E mutation than those with moderate/well differentiation (7.77% vs 2.92%, P = 0.04). HER2 amplification was an independent prognostic factor for worse disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.21–5.30, P = 0.014). Conclusion The prevalence of HER2 amplification and BRAF V600E mutation in stage I–III CRC patients in Chinese was 6% and 4%, respectively, and HER2 amplification appeared to be associated with a worse DFS. More comprehensive molecular classification and survival analysis are needed to validate our findings.

Research on the relationship between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and postoperative complications/oncological outcomes in elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is limited. This study investigated the prognostic value of the GNRI in aged CRC patients. We retrospectively analyzed 1206 consecutive CRC patients aged over 75 years who underwent curative-intent surgery from January 2008 to December 2015 and categorized them into high GNRI (≥98) and low GNRI (<98) groups according to a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the association of the GNRI with postoperative complications. Kaplan–Meier survival analyses and the Cox proportional hazard model were used to explore the association between GNRI and survival. We discovered that GNRI is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications (HR: 1.774, p = 0.037). Surgical site infection, wound dehiscence and pneumonia were more common in patients with GNRI < 98. Survival analysis showed significantly worse overall survival and disease-free survival in the low GNRI group (both p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, GNRI < 98 was an independent risk factor for OS (HR: 1.329, p = 0.031) and DFS (HR: 1.312, p = 0.034). Thus, preoperative GNRI can be effectively used to predict postoperative complications and long-term survival in elderly CRC patients after curative surgery.
