Malignant Gastric Neoplasm
*Adenocarcinoma (90%- 95% of all
malignant tumors(
*Lymphoma (NHL, MALT)
*GIST (various sarcomas)
*Neuroendocrine tumors (Carcinoid tumors)

Gastric carcinoma
• Epidemiology: 4-7/100,000 in US, yet a leading killer (2.5% of all Ca)
• Incidence varies widely: - High: Japan, China, Costa Rica, Chile, Colombia, Iceland, Scotland, Finland, Portugal ... - Low: U.S., England, Canada, Australia,
N.Z., Sweden ... - Overall incidence decreasing, but still a major problem

Gastric carcinoma Risk factors
• Diet - Nitrites , smokers, lack of fresh vegetables• Host factors:
- Chronic atrophic gastritis (ACHLORHYDRIA)
- H. pylori infection - a cofactor
- Prior partial gastrectomy
- Gastric adenomas • Genetic factors - probably minor
- Blood group A
- Family history
- Race

Gastric carcinoma CLASSIFICATION
• Depth of invasion – EARLY GASTRIC CA - mucosa & submucosa – ADVANCED GASTRIC CA - into or through
muscularis propria
• Macroscopic growth pattern – Expanding – Infiltrative - "linitis plastica"
• Histologic subtype – Intestinal – Diffuse (gastric); poorly differentiated; "signet
ring" cells

Gastric cancer
The current 5- year survival rates have not shown a great deal of improvement.
![Page 21: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Gastric cancer Prognosis
• Overall, diffuse/infiltrative type is more aggressive (higher stage, mets); often occurs in young women (30's - 40's)
• Early gastric cancer - 5 yr. survival 90 95% (only slightly less with positive lymph nodes)
• Advanced cancer - 10% @ 5 yrs.

H. Pylori and Gastric Cancer?
The link between HP and precursors lesions (displasia, metaplasia..) has been found in nearly all countries with high rate of gastric cancer.
More than 65% of Japanese of age > 50
are infected with HP

Gastric Cancer
Is presumed that Gastric Cancer develops as multistep process in which multiple factors: - genetic ( inherited and acquired)
- environmental insults
are acting over a period of time .

Precursors of Gastric Cancer • Adenomatous polyps
• Chronic atrophic gastritis
• Pernicious gastritis
• Menetries’s disease
• Previous gastric surgery for non- cancerous conditions

Gastric cancer
“Its primary concern is which the problem
of surgical cure of the all to frequent carcinoma of the stomach against which all internal therapy was proven ineffective”
Prof. Th. Billroth
)1881– open letter to Vienna Medical Weekly(

Gastric cancer
In 26% of the pts. disagreement between of the pre- and post operative histopathological type.
World J Surg. Vol. 26, No2 February 2002

Gastric Cancer
Facts -The risk of finding peritoneal implants (M1disease) at
the time of laparotomy is 25-37% after an otherwise unremarkable CT.
-Few patients with M1 disease develop surgical bleeding or significant gastric outlet obstruction prior
the death. -Selected pts.with locally advanced disease (T3 and
T4) with high risk of recurrence may benefit from neoadjuvant treatment – metastatic disease must
be excluded prior the treatment.

Endoscopic Ultrasound
The overall accuracy for T staging is of 80%.
A major problems are: -limited penetration depth of only 4-6 cm
-distinction between T2 and T3 lesions because of peri- tumoral desmoplastic reaction (uT3 still can be a pathologic T2).
-differentiation between T1m and T1sm (miniprobe)
![Page 52: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Endoscopic Ultrasound
N stage
Low accuracy of EUS in assessment of LN invasion ( correct in 50-80% of the cases).

Role of CT in staging of gastric
carcinoma
*disappointing for recognition for neoplasm's
confined to mucosa and submucosa -diagnostic accuracy of only 23-56%
*High accuracy for more advance stages, 88-95% for T4

Role of CT in staging of gastric
cancer
Diagnosis of lymph node involvement Metastasis was noted in:
5% of LN < 5mm 21% of LN 5-9 mm 23% of LN 10-14%
Conclusion: Diagnosis of metastasis is difficult in LN < 14 mm
![Page 56: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Role of CT in staging of gastric
carcinoma Accuracy of CT in diagnosis of:
-Hepatic metastasis is 79% -96% (will miss the majority of meta <1cm)
-Peritoneal metastasis is 73 -80%

Role of MRI in staging of gastric carcinoma
-better than CT in accurate diagnosis of T1
gastric cancer .
-better than CT in the identification of an eventual intra-peritoneal diffusion.
-is equal to CT in evaluating lymph nodes .

Role of laparoscopy in staging of gastric cancer
- Laparoscopic contact ultrasound (LCU) overcomes the to major limitations of
laparoscopy : * inspection is limited only to the surface of
the organs.* lake of tactile palpation of the structures
- Staging laparoscopy makes possible abdominal lavage for cytologic, immunohistochemical or
molecular biologic detection.

Role of laparoscopy in staging of gastric cancer
Laparoscopic inspection is better than laparotomy for diagnosis of small metastatic nodes in subphrenic space and Douglas pouch.

Role of Laparoscopy in staging of
gastric cancer Preoperative staging laparoscopy is currently included at Memorial Sloan Kattering in the diagnostic algorithm.
37% - considered to have localized disease by CT and EUS had metastatic disease (accuracy of 94%)

Role of laparoscopy in staging of
gastric cancer * benefit and risks must be evaluated
(mortality, morbidity, port site metastasis) *timing: separate procedure? immediately
before the planned curative surgery ? *extent of the procedure: inspection only?
biopsy of suspicious lesions? extensive dissection?
*routine use of LUS & peritoneal cytology sampling?
![Page 68: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Role of peritoneal cytology in staging of gastric cancer
-cytology is positive only in 1/3 of patients with advance cancer- fewer that might be expected (low sensitivity)
-survival- poorer of one stage or more
-5-year survival rate with positive cytology was only 2% - worst that in patients with macroscopic dissemination
Positive CYTOLOGY is independent prognostic factor and can add accuracy in the stage classification
![Page 69: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Role of peritoneal cytology in staging of
gastric cancer
How to improve insensitivity of the sampling technique?
-addition of serosal brush cytology/ imprinting cytology
-immunocytology with monoclonal antibody Bar- Ep4 - reverse transcriptase –polimerase chain reaction
-measurement of the CEA level in peritoneal washes
-use of molecular biology

Therapeutic questions for Gastric
carcinoma

* extent of lymphadenectomy
* efficacy of postoperative radiation
* efficacy of chemotherapy or radiation or both as adjuvant treatment
* more recently, the potential benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Surgical treatment of Gastric carcinoma
Radical surgery was a well established procedure at MSKCC in the 1960s.
![Page 72: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Surgical treatment of Gastric carcinoma
The radical surgery was abandoned by most surgeons in the US and Europe because of its high morbidity and mortality and unclear survival benefit.
MSKCC is one of the few centers in the US in which lymph node dissection (D2) is performed
routinely.
![Page 73: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Gastric carcinoma in Japan and in the West
Instead in Japan lymph node dissection up to the N2 lymph nodes became a routine together with screening program to identify
earlier lesions.
![Page 74: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
What are the factors that might explain better treatment results
in Japan?
Different factors that has been suggested are: -higher frequency of early stage lesions
(better screening?) -less obese patients
-greater use of extended lymph node dissection with more accurate staging
-different location of the tumor -different type of gastric tumors
![Page 75: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

Summery *R0 resection is the goal
*Distal subtotal gastrectomy is the procedure of choice for the curative treatment of distal tumors.
*Splenectomy and pancreatectomy increase morbidity and mortality without increasing survival
*The surgical procedure and pathologic exam. should ensure that at least 15 lymph nodes are examined (for adequate end stage)

Early Gastric Cancer
Mass screening programs in Japan established the concept of early gastric cancer.
Definition: tumor invasion is limited to mucosa and sub-mucosa regardless of presence of lymph
node metastasis
![Page 126: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Early Gastric Cancer
The incidence of EGC among all gastric cancer:
In Western countries 6-16%
In Japan > 50%-60%
In Korea from 14.9% (1974-1992) to 30% -40% today
![Page 127: Gastric Cancer Surgery”B” Department “Meir” Hospital Kfar-Saba.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649d955503460f94a7e803/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Reasons for high proportionof EGC in Japan
-asymptomatic patient are screened
-gastroscopy in Japan is more careful procedure. ( indigo carmine, simeticone, hyoscine is part of the routine)
GUT 2001 11/81 in UK with advance gastric cancer had previous gastroscopy within two
years!
-West “high grade dysplasia” is in Japan “ intra-mucosal carcinoma ”

Early Gastric Cancer
Wang- suggests another classification based on excellent prognosis rather than the depth on invasion.
Only node negative pT1 gastric cancer should be called EGC
Prognosis of node –positive pT1 and node negative pT2 gastric cancer would be not favorable enough
to be categorizes as EGC

Endoscopic mucosal resection
The method was introduced 15 years ago (in 1987)
There are still unsolved problems with regard to its:
- indications
- techniques
- preoperative evaluation of curability (EUS, Laparoscopy..)
- method of follow up

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Diameter of the tumor?
>3cm
<3cm well or moderately differentiated
superficially elevated and or depressed (typs I, IIa, and IIc) but without ulceration

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Margins of the resection?
-Complete resection – local recurrence 2%

Laparoscopic intragastric mucosal resection
-lesions in posterior wall of the stomach, near the cardia and pylorus.
-tree balloon trocars are placed in the stomach.
-the stomach is insufflated with CO2 and surgical instruments are introduced
-mucosal and sub-mucosal layers around the lesion is are resected

More surgical procedures for the treatment of EGC
- Proximal gastrectomy with interposition of double jejunal pouch between the esophagus and the remnant stomach.
-Pyloric preservation gastrectomy: preservation of a pyloric cuff of 2 cm and removal of distal 2/3 of the stomach with Billroth I
reconstruction
-Laparoscopic assisted total or distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection

Conclusions of EGC treatment
Nowadays
Limited surgery is recommended only in mucosal EGC( low rate of LN involvement)
In sub-mucosal EGC extended lymphadenectomy appears to prolong the survival
- higher rate of LN involvement (11-19%)
- 7% of skip metastasis in extraperigastric LN
- micrometastasis
In Europe and USA- limited surgery is justify only in high risk patients, otherwise D2 resection .

Role of peritoneal cytology instaging of gastric cancer
In a large retrospective study (1297 pts.) multivariate analysis found that cytological findings was:
- independent prognostic factor for survival - the most important factor for predicting
peritoneal recurrence 5 -year survival rate with positive cytology was
only 2% ( even pts. with macroscopic disse- mination had better survival)
CEA and CA-19-9 was higher in cytology positive patients .
