Abstract Background: Although chemotherapy has been clinically recommended as the initial treatment for patients with peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer, poor prognosis has been noted among the same patients. However, the prognostic significance of conversion surgery after chemotherapy remains unclear. The present study therefore aimed to assess the clinical impact of conversion surgery among patients with peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer.Methods: A total of 93 patients with peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer undergoing chemotherapy between February 2002 and October 2019 were retrospectively enrolled and subsequently divided into progressive disease (PD) and non-PD groups based on tumor response to chemotherapy.Results: Among the included patients, 17 developed distant metastases at another site besides peritoneal dissemination. Based on tumor response, 24 and 69 patients were determined to have PD and non-PD, respectively, with the former having significantly poorer prognosis than the latter (p < 0.0001). A total of 19 patients underwent conversion surgery after chemotherapy, with the presence or absence of conversion surgery being significantly correlated with age, first-line chemotherapy regimen, and tumor response (p = 0.0134, 0.0337, and 0.0024, respectively). Patients in the non-PD group who underwent conversion surgery or chemotherapy alone had 3-year overall survival rates of 55.6% and 6.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified conversion surgery alone as an independent prognostic factor in the non-PD group (p < 0.0001).Conclusion: Our retrospective study demonstrated that conversion surgery for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination might improve the prognosis of responders who developed no peritoneal dissemination after chemotherapy.

Liver metastases of gastric cancer determine the poor prognosis. Until now The expediency of their surgical removal has been controversial. However, according to a number of studies, the removal of potentially operable isolated liver metastases allows a significant increase of overall and relapse-free survival in some cases. The review is dedicated to the analysis of prognostic factors that allow selecting patients for surgical removal of liver metastases of gastric cancer. The main criteria are: effective perioperative chemotherapy; stage under T4, N0, absence of lymphovascular invasion, absence of peritoneal dissemination, number less than 3, size up to 4 cm, localization of metastases in one lobe, low level of cancer markers CA 19-9 and CEA.

Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that mixed predominantly differentiated-type (MD) early gastric cancer (EGC) might have more malignant potential than pure differentiated-type (PD) EGC. However, no study has analyzed all differentiated-type EGC cases treated endoscopically and surgically. This study aimed to compare the differences in clinicopathological features and long-term prognosis between MD- and PD-EGC. Methods We evaluated all patients with differentiated-type EGCs who were treated endoscopically and surgically in our hospital between January 2010 and October 2014. The clinicopathological features and long-term prognosis of MD-EGC were compared with those of PD-EGC. Results A total of 459 patients with 459 lesions were evaluated in this study; of them, 409 (89.1%) and 50 (10.9%) were classified into the PD and MD groups, respectively. Submucosal invasion was found in 96 (23.5%) patients of the PD group and in 33 (66.0%) patients of the MD group (p < 0.01). The rates of positive lymphatic and vascular invasion and ulceration were significantly higher in the MD group than in the PD group (p < 0.01). The proportion of patients with lymph node metastasis was also significantly higher in the MD group than in the PD group (5 (10%) vs 6 (1.5%), p < 0.01). The 5-year overall and EGC-specific survival rates in the PD group were 88.3 and 99.5%, respectively, while they were 94.0 and 98.0% in the MD group, respectively. Conclusions MD-EGC has more malignant potential than PD-EGC. However, the long-term prognosis of MD-EGC is good and is not significantly different from that of PD-EGC when treated appropriately.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and the tumor metastasis leads to poor outcomes of GC patients. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as new regulatory molecules that play a crucial role in tumor metastasis. However, the biological function and underlying mechanism of numerous lncRNAs in GC metastasis remain largely unclear. Here, we report a novel lncRNA, lnc-TLN2-4:1, whose expression is decreased in GC tissue versus matched normal tissue, and its low expression is involved in the lymph node and distant metastases of GC, as well as poor overall survival rates of GC patients. We further found that lnc-TLN2-4:1 inhibits the ability of GC cells to migrate and invade but does not influence GC cell proliferation and confirmed that lnc-TLN2-4:1 is mainly located in the cytoplasm of GC cells. We then found that lnc-TLN2-4:1 increases the mRNA and protein expression of TLN2 in GC cells and there is a positive correlation between the expression of lnc-TLN2-4:1 and TLN2 mRNA in GC tissue. Collectively, we identified a novel lncRNA, lnc-TLN2-4:1, in GC, where lnc-TLN2-4:1 represses cell migration and invasion. The low expression of lnc-TLN2-4:1 is associated with poor overall survival rates of GC patients. These suggest that lnc-TLN2-4:1 may be a tumor suppressor during GC metastasis.
