Article Abstract
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has gained more popularity in the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC). Although there is a lack of confirmed evidence for the feasibility of ESD for undifferentiated EGC. The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of ESD with expanded indications for undifferentiated EGC patients.
Methods: Data from patients with undifferentiated EGC (including signet-ring cell carcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, mixed adenocarcinoma, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma) who underwent radical surgical resection were retrospectively reviewed. The relationship between the clinical parameters and the incidence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) was investigated.
Results: A total of 517 patients were included in this study. The results showed that LNM was significantly associated with ulceration, tumor size, depth of invasion, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, and perineural invasion. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor size (OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.03-2.52, P = 0.0367), depth of tumor invasion (OR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.66-4.63, P = 0.0001), and lymphatic invasion (OR = 14.74, 95% CI = 1.58-137.36, P = 0.0182) were independent risk factors for LNM. In the patients who would be included under the new proposed guidelines for ESD, including men with mucosal tumors ≤2 cm and without ulceration or lymphatic or venous infiltration, LNM was present in 11.9% (14/118).
Conclusion: Caution to be exercised in expanding application of ESD should be carefully weighed in undifferentiated EGC.

Prognostic value of signet-ring cell carcinoma proportion in undifferentiated gastric cancer: Implications for endoscopic treatment decisions.

Background: Poorly cohesive gastric carcinomas are classified based on the proportion of signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) components. In surgically resected gastric cancer, SRCC is diagnosed when the signet-ring cell (SRC) component constitutes ≥ 50% of the entire tumor, whereas poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC) not otherwise specified is diagnosed when the proportion of the SRC component is < 50% of the entire tumor. The SRCC proportion in PCC varies along the spectrum, and its prognostic significance in gastric cancer remains unclear.

Background: Gastric cancer is divided into differentiated and undifferentiated types and sometimes exhibits mixed histology. However, the risk of gastric cancer-related death after curative endoscopic resection for mixed histology remains unknown. This study evaluated the long-term prognosis of mixed histological type gastric cancers treated with endoscopic resection.

Poorly cohesive gastric adenocarcinoma is classified as a diffuse type of gastrointestinal tract tumor composed of undifferentiated cells with an inherent propensity for aggressive behavior. Recent trends in surveillance indicate that gastric cancer (GC) is affecting younger adults and is distinct from GC that occurs later in life. Early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC) is associated with various environmental and genetic factors.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine independent clinicopathological factors that can predict submucosal invasion and non-curative resection (NCR) outcomes after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC).
Methods: Data were collected from consecutive patients who underwent gastric ESD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University between 2016 and 2023. A retrospective analysis was conducted using the chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis.

Background/aims: The presence of individual cancer cells at the invasive tumor front is referred to as tumor budding (TB). The purpose of this study was to assess the clinicopathological significance of TB in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC).
Methods: A total of 939 patients who received radical surgery for EGC were included in this retrospective study.
