Abstract Background Gallbladder cancer is a rare but highly malignant cancer, which often progresses to a metastatic stage when diagnosed because of its asymptomatic manifestation. In this study, we intended to analyze the prognostic value of metastatic gallbladder adenocarcinoma (GBA) with site-specific metastases. Methods Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, GBA patients diagnosed with metastases between 2010 and 2016 were selected to identify the prognosis according to the isolated metastatic sites, including liver, lung, bone, brain and distant lymph nodes (DL). Kaplan–Meier methods were used for survival comparisons and multivariable Cox regression models were constructed to find out independent factors that associated with survival. Results Data from 1526 eligible patients were extracted from the SEER database. Among the patients, 788 (51.6%) had isolated liver metastases, 80 (5.2%) had isolated distant nodal involvement, 45 (2.9%) had isolated lung metastases, 21 (1.4%) had isolated bone metastases, 2 (0.1%) had isolated brain metastases and 590 (38.7%) had multiple metastases. No significant survival difference was shown between patients with single or multisite metastases (P > 0.05). Patients with isolated lung or DL metastases had significant better survival outcomes than those with isolated bone metastases (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that performing surgery at primary site, receiving chemotherapy were associated with better OS and CSS for patients with isolated liver or DL metastases. Conclusions The study showed that different metastatic sites affect survival outcomes in metastatic GBA patients. Highly selected subset of patients with liver or DL metastases might benefit from surgery at primary site.

Objective. To evaluate the impacts of different metastatic patterns on the prognosis of patients with invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). Materials and Methods. All patients who were diagnosed with invasive IPMN in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results SEER database (2010–2015) were included in this study. They were grouped according to different metastatic patterns. Kaplan–Meier analysis and log-rank test were used for the comparison of their survival rates. The hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was analyzed using the Cox proportional-hazards model. Results. A total of 2264 cases were included in this study. The most common metastatic site was the liver. The patients with the nonorgan metastasis demonstrated the best survival outcomes, while those with multiple metastases showed the worst survival outcomes. As compared to the patients with isolated liver metastasis, those with isolated lung and other organ metastases showed better overall survival rates and tumor-specific survival rates. The patients with liver, lung, multiple, and other organ metastases or of age >60 years were the independent predictors of poor prognosis. Conclusions. The patients with isolated lung and other organ metastases demonstrated better survival outcomes as compared to those with isolated liver metastasis. The patients with nonorgan metastasis demonstrated the best survival outcomes, while those with multiple metastases showed the worst survival outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine a highly selected subset of patients, who might benefit from surgery or chemotherapy.

Abstract Background Current studies on the number of removed lymph nodes (LNs) and their prognostic value in small-bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) are limited. This study aimed to clarify the prognostic value of removed LNs for SBNETs. Methods SBNET patients without distant metastasis from 2004 to 2017 in the SEER database were included. The optimal cutoff values of examined LNs (ELNs) and negative LNs (NLNs) were calculated by the X-tile software. Propensity score matching (PSM) was done to match patients 1:1 on clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test and multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression model were used to evaluate the prognostic effect of removed LNs. Results The cutoff values of 14 for ELNs and 9 for NLNs could well distinguish patients with different prognoses. After 1:1 PSM, the differences in clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups were significantly reduced (all P > 0.05). Removal of more than one LN significantly improved the prognosis of the patients (P < 0.001). The number of lymphatic metastasis in the sufficiently radical resection group (SRR, 3.74 ± 3.278, ELN > 14 and NLN > 9) was significantly more than that in the insufficiently radical resection group (ISRR, 2.72 ± 3.19, ELN < 14 or NLN < 9). The 10-year overall survival (OS) of the SRR was significantly better than that of the ISRR (HR = 1.65, P = 0.001, 95% CI: 1.24–2.19). Conclusion Both ELNs and NLNs can well predict the OS of patients. Systematic removal of more than 14 LNs and more than 9 NLNs can increase the OS of SBNET patients.
