The prognosis of gastric cancer depends principally upon an early diagnosis. An early and accurate diagnosis of gastric cancer needs some basic knowledges about the endoscopic characteristics of white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, magnified endoscopy, FICE and NBI…A strategy of screening is also a key factor for early diagnosis. The treatment of early gastric cancer by endoscopy techniques have showed more and more advantages. Beside of EMR, the technique of ESD is now applied more widely and lead to a very good prognosis and nearly a curative treatment for the patients with early gastric cancer. Key words: gastric cancer, early gastric cancer, diagnosis, endoscopy

Abstract BACKGROUND Early diagnosis is very important to improve the survival rate of patients with gastric cancer, especially in asymptomatic participants. However, low sensitivity of common biomarkers has caused difficulties in early screening of gastric cancer. In this study, we explored whether MIC-1 can improve the detection rate of early gastric cancer.METHODS We screened 8,257 participants based on risk factors such as age, gender, and family history for physical examination including gastroscopy. Participant blood samples were taken for measure MIC-1, CA-199, CA72-4 and PG1/PG2 levels. The diagnostic performance of MIC-1 was assessed and compared with CA-199, CA72-4 and PG1/PG2, and its role in early gastric cancer diagnosis and the assessment of the risk of precancerous lesions have also been studied.RESULTS Based on endoscopic and histopathological findings, 55 participants had gastric cancer, 566 participants had low-grade neoplasia, 2605 participants had chronic gastritis. MIC-1 levels were significantly elevated in gastric cancer serum samples as compared to controls (p<0.001). The sensitivity of serum MIC-1 for gastric cancer diagnosis was much higher than that of CA-199 (49.1% vs. 20.0%) with similar specificities. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis also showed that serum MIC-1 had a better performance compared with CA-199, CA72-4 and PG1/PG2 in distinguishing early-stage gastric cancer (AUC: 72.9% vs. 69.5%, 67.5%, 44.0% respectively).CONCLUSIONS Serum MIC-1 is significantly elevated in most patients with early gastric cancer. MIC-1 can serve as a novel diagnostic marker of early gastric cancer and value the risk of gastric cancer.

In order to study Fe3O4-Polypyrrole (Fe3O4-PPy) core-shell nanocomposite in the diagnosis of tumor markers in the diseased gastric tissues of early cancer patients, a total of 160 cases of patients, who were confirmed as early gastric cancer by gastroscopy or postoperative pathology at a designated hospital of the study from December 2014 to December 2018, were selected as research objects and were divided into two groups of observation and control group with 80 cases in each group. For each patient in the two groups, two pieces of diseased gastric tissue were firstly taken through gastroscopy; then the observation group applied Fe3O4-PPy with the particle diameter of 150-350 nm as carrier to detect the contents of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen 242 (CA242), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) in the diseased gastric tissue, while the control group directly detected the contents of corresponding tumor markers; after the detections, the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic efficiency of each marker in the two groups of patients were calculated, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves with the areas under the curves (AUC) were drawn to analyze the correlation between the level of Fe3O4-PPy and the detection efficiency of gastric cancer markers. The results show that the detection sensitivity (82.17%, 80.32%, 79.48%, 84.63%, and 85.66%) and specificity (76.75%, 79.66%, 81.07%, 83.47%, and 85.24%) of CA19-9, AFP, CA242, CEA, and CA72-4 in the tumor tissue of patients in observation group for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer are higherthan the sensitivity (78.66%, 79.25%, 76.18%, 82.11%, and 83.45%) and specificity (74.37%, 76.94%, 77.24%, 81.22%, and 81.59%) of that in control group with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Therefore, it is believed that the Fe3O4-PPy is of great significance for the detection of early gastric tumor markers in the tissues of patients with early gastric cancer, and has certain value for the auxiliary diagnosis of early gastric cancer and the observation of therapeutic effects. This study results provide a reference for the further researches of Fe3O4-PPy in the diagnosis of tumor markers in patients with early gastric cancer.

Abstract Background and study aims Fourth-generation endocytoscopy is an ultra-high magnification endoscopic technique designed to provide excellent quality in vivo histologic assessment of gastrointestinal lesions. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of endocytoscopy in early gastric cancer diagnosis. Patients and methods A single-center, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from all gastric endocytoscopic examinations was conducted. Two expert endoscopists, blinded to white-light and narrow-band imaging findings as well as histopathologic diagnosis, independently reviewed and diagnosed all endocytoscopic images. A newly recognized “enlarged nuclear sign” was detected, and its implication in early gastric cancer diagnosis was evaluated. The diagnostic performance of fourth-generation endocytoscopy was assessed while using the gold standard histopathology as a reference. Results Forty-three patients (mean age±SD, 72.6 ± 12.1 years; 31 males) were enrolled. Based on histopathology, 23 had well-differentiated adenocarcinomas, four adenomas, and 16 non-neoplastic lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of fourth-generation endocytoscopy for gastric cancer diagnosis were 87.0 % (95 % CI: 67.9 – 95.5), 80.0 % (95 % CI: 58.4 – 91.9), and 83.7 % (95 % CI: 70.0 – 91.9) by endoscopist A; and 91.3 % (95 % CI: 73.2 – 97.6), 75.0 % (95 % CI: 53.1 – 88.8), and 83.7 % (95 % CI: 70.0 – 91.9) by endoscopist B. The inter-observer agreement, Kappa statistic = 0.71 (95 % CI: 0.50 – 0.93), was good. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the enlarged nuclear sign for early gastric cancer diagnosis were 87.0 % (95 % CI: 67.9 – 95.5), 95.0 % (95 % CI: 76.4 – 99.1), and 90.7 % (95 % CI: 78.4 – 96.3) by endoscopist A; and 82.6 % (95 % CI: 62.9 – 93.0), 85.0 % (95 % CI: 64.0 – 94.8), and 83.7 % (95 % CI: 70.0 – 91.9) by endoscopist B. The inter-observer agreement, Kappa statistic = 0.68 (95 % CI: 0.51 – 0.89) was good. Conclusion: Fourth-generation endocytoscopy appears to aid in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer, particularly well-differentiated adenocarcinomas, due to its good diagnostic accuracy and identification of the “enlarged nuclear sign,” and deserves further evaluation in future studies.
