Abstract Background We have reported that lymph node metastasis risk in cases of superficial Barrett's esophageal cancer (BC) was of submucosal invasion within 500μm without other risk factors (lymphovascular involvement, a poorly differentiated component, and lesion size) through a multicenter retrospective study in 13 facilities. Cardiac cancer (CC) was included in the gastric cancer criteria of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association. Since BC and CC near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) show almost the same biological behavior, we elucidated the metastasis risk factors in patients with EGJ adenocarcinoma. Methods Patients who underwent ESD for superficial EGJ adenocarcinoma as Siewert typeII between January 2011 and April 2017 were included. Results A total of 120 patients were analyzed. Fifty-three patients (44.1%) had BC and 67 patients (55.8%) had CC. Of the 120 lesions, the median size was 16.7 ± 8.5 mm; 10 (8.3%; 4 BC, 6 CC) were greater than 30 mm in size. Thirty-five (29.1%; 17 BC, 18 CC) were submucosal (SM) cancers. Twenty-one (17.5%; 13 BC, 8 CC) had poorly differentiated components and 19 (15.8%; 14 BC, 5 CC) had lymphovascular involvement. Of the 19 cases with lymphovascular involvement, 11/22 (50%) were SM cancers with > 200μm of invasion, and 8/98 (8.1%) were mucosal (M)/SM cancers within SM200μm of invasion. Of the BCs with DMM invasion, 7/17 (41.1%) had lymphovascular involvement. Of the patients initially treated through ESD, 33 (27.5%) had lymphovascular involvement, positive horizontal/vertical margins, or SM > 200μm of invasion. Of these, 26 were treated with additional surgery. Metastasis was confirmed from 2 patients. Both were BCs, with SM > 501μm of invasion, positive lymphovascular involvement, and with poorly differentiated components. One was > 30 mm in size. Metastasis was not identified in CC and in cases with SM < 200μm of invasion. Conclusion For superficial esophagogastric cancer, we did not identify metastasis in patients with SM > 501 μm of invasion. There were no cases of metastasis in patients without risk factors. ESD might be indicated for lesions within SM 500μm of invasion without risk factors. Among DMM cases of BC, lymphovascular involvement was highly frequent. Therefore, histopathological surveillance for lymphovascular involvement is important. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the incidence of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer, identifying risk factors for its development. METHODS: we conducted a prospective study of patients with gastric cancer admitted to the Section of the Esophago-Gastric Surgery of the Surgery of Service HUCFF-UFRJ, from January 2006 to May 2012. RESULTS: the rate of early gastric cancer was 16.3%. The incidence of nodal metastases was 30.8% and occurred more frequently in patients with tumors with involvement of the submucosa (42.9%), in those poorly differentiated (36.4%), in tumors larger than 2 cm (33.3%) and in type III ulcerated lesions (43.8%). CONCLUSION: the incidence of lymph node metastases in patients was very high and suggests that one should keep the radicality of resection in early gastric cancer, particularly in relation to D2 lymphadenectomy, recommended for advanced gastric cancer. Conservative resections, with lymphadenectomies smaller than D2, should be performed only in selected cases, well-studied as for the risk factors of lymph node metastasis. Despite the small number of cases did not permit to relate the rate of lymph node metastasis to the risk factors considered, we noted a strong tendency for the occurrence of these metastases in the poorly differentiated, type III, larger than 2 cm tumors, and in the Lauren diffuse types.

Abstract Background As a common malignancy, gastric cancer (GC) remains an important threat to human’s health. The incidence of synchronous multiple gastric cancer (SMGC) has increased obviously with technical advances of endoscopic and pathological examinations. Several studies have investigated the relationship between SMGC and solitary gastric cancer (SGC). However, little is known about the relationship between early and advanced SMGCs, and the independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis and prognosis in SMGC patients remain unclear. Methods We retrospectively collected 57 patients diagnosed as SMGC and underwent radical gastrectomies from December 2011 to September 2019. Epidemiological data and clinicopathological characteristics of all patients were recorded. Postoperative follow-up was performed by telephone or outpatient service. Chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test was adopted in analysis of categorical data. Continuous data were analyzed by using unpaired t test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate the independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis and tumor recurrence of SMGC. Results There were 45 males and 12 females. The average age was 62.1 years old. There were 20 patients with early SMGC and 37 patients with advanced SMGC. Most of patients (91.2%) had two malignant lesions. Tumor recurrence occurred in 8 patients, among which 7 patients died from recurrence. The rates of total gastrectomy, tumor size ≥ 2 cm, poorly differentiated type, lymph node metastasis, ulcer and nerve invasion, and preoperative CEA level were significantly higher in advanced SMGC patients compared to those with early SMGC. Lymphovascular cancer plug and preoperative CA125 were the independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with SMGC. Lymph node metastasis, nerve invasion, and preoperative AFP might be the risk factors of tumor recurrence of SMGC, but need further validation. Conclusions In patients with SMGC, the presence of tumor size ≥ 2 cm, poorly differentiated type, lymph node metastasis, ulcer, nerve invasion, and relatively high preoperative CEA level might indicate the advanced SMGC. More attention should be paid to lymph node metastasis in SMGC patients with lymphovascular cancer plug and high preoperative CA125. Lymph node metastasis, nerve invasion, and preoperative AFP might be associated with recurrence of SMGC, needing further validation.
