Filter by:This study is A prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial: The study intends to include subjects suspected of early gastric cancer, including 378 subjects with neoplastic lesions and 200 subjects with non-neoplastic lesions. The subjects are divided into two groups by random envelopes, A and B, and the endoscopic diagnosis in different groups is performed in different order (including: White light endoscopy,CellTouch, Magnifying endoscopy with NBI(ME-NBI)). Finally, the gold standard of histopathology was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CellTouch in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer.The study hypothesized that the sensitivity and specificity of CellTouch in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer could reach more than 90% and more than 95%.
SENORITA 1 trial showed laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach preserving surgery in early gastric cancer can increase the quality of life. (Ryu KW et al. JCO 2022) The radioactive isotope is difficult to use because of the hazard of radiation and shortage of materials. The aim of this study is to investigate whether laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach-preserving surgery using only fluorescence is feasible.
While the incidence of gastric cancer is gradually declining, it is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third most common cause of cancer related death worldwide according to GLOBOCAN 2018 data (Rawla P and Barsouk A.,2019). Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer(EGC) was first performed more than 20 years ago (Shi, Y et al.,2018). Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) for EGC has been confirmed to have oncologic and long-term survival equivalency to the open technique and provide tremendous advantages over open surgery, such as good cosmesis, reduced pain, and shorter hospital stay(Katai H et al.,2017). Based on the experience of EGC, most experienced surgeons have applied the laparoscopic procedure in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Retrospective studies have assessed the technical and oncological safety of LAG with D2 lymph node dissection for AGC(Hao Y et al .,2016). Recently, results of two ongoing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have revealed the surgical safety of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for AGC . However, laparoscopic gastrectomy for locally advanced disease remains controversial(Hu Y et al.,2016). Here, we report the short-term surgical outcomes of a RCT comparing laparoscopic and open gastrectomy (OG) with D2 lymph node dissection for EGC, which was designed to assess the technical safety and oncologic feasibility of LAG for EGC.
Early gastric cancer（AGC）has no effective characteristic symptoms and signs according to clinical statistics. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) significantly reduces the size of AGC tumors so that it has become the recommended treatment for AGC in major guidelines. However, Some patients miss the best time for surgical treatment and may have irreversible chemotherapy side effects due to NAC lacks the guidance of new indicators for precise treatment such as molecular biomarkers. Tumor organoids are highly consistent with the clinical drug sensitivities of patients which could be used as clinical treatment prediction models thus providing guidance for individualized medicine. Therefore, the project is the first to carry out the prospective study by screening the potential benefit populations of NAC based on tumor organoids drug susceptibility experiment. The following hypothesis are put forward：the potential benefit population of NAC screened by tumor organoid drugs susceptibility technology will have better clinical efficacy, better treatment tolerance and higher adverse reaction rate.
This study aims to explore the value of indocyanine green (ICG) in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for early gastric cancer.The patients with early gastric adenocarcinoma (cT1, N-/+, M0) will be studied.
The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of medical augmented reality glasses and general monitors when distinguishing mucosal lesions from submucosal lesions in endoscopic diagnosis for early gastric cancer.
In this study, patients who are going to undergo endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgery for early gastric cancer will be enrolled and divided into ESD group and Surgery group according to the procedure they go through. The patients will be followed up for at least 5 years after ESD or surgery. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EDG) and biopsy will be performed 3 months and then 6 months after ESD or surgery. Thereafter, EDG will be performed along with biopsy and abdominal computed tomography annually up to 5 years. Patients' data such as age, sex, clinical diagnosis, achievement of en-bloc resection, pathological outcomes, complications and survival condition will be prospectively collected. Statistical methods such as Student's t-test, the chi-square test, the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test will be used to compare the short term and long term outcomes between the ESD group and the surgery group.
Early gastric cancer is defined as gastric cancer that only invades mucosal or submucosal layer. The 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer can exceed 90% due to appropriate treatment. The most important consideration is whether there is lymph node metastasis. Preoperative examination including gastroscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and CT are not accurate enough to predict lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer. In a retrospective study, we created a nomogram to predict lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer. In prospective validation, the sensitivity and specificity of the nomogram was 75% and 91%, respectively. Sentinel lymph node is a promising concept in early gastric cancer. Using carbon nanoparticles as tracer, the sensitivity and specificity of sentinel lymph node predicting lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer were 90% and 100%. Based on these results, we proposed a new method that combines the Nomogram and sentinel lymph node to predict lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer. First, the probability of lymph node metastasis of early gastric cancer patients is calculated by the Nomogram. Those with low incidence of lymph node metastasis continue to the sentinel lymph node procedure. A patient will be considered non lymph node metastasis if his/her frozen pathology of the sentinel lymph nodes is negative during the surgery. Then the standard radical gastrectomy is performed with lymphadenectomy. By comparing postoperative pathology and sentinel lymph node frozen pathology, the specificity of Nomogram combining sentinel lymph node predicting lymph node metastasis in early gastric patients is calculated. The primary endpoint of this research is that the specificity of the above-mentioned method is over 95%.
The treatment of early gastric cancer can be divided into endoscopic resection and surgery, and the precise staging of early gastric cancer is very important to prevent unnecessary surgery or additional surgery after the procedure. The possibility of endoscopic resection is determined by the risk of lymph node metastasis. The risk factors of lymph node metastasis of early gastric cancer are lesion size, presence of ulceration, histologic differentiation, and depth of invasion. In contrast to other factors, the factor of invasion depth is relatively difficult to predict by using the conventional white light endoscopy (WLE). Therefore, the endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has been tried to use for prediction of the invasion depth. However, many studies reported that the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography for predicting the depth of invasion was varied. A system consisting of a magnifying endoscope combined with narrow-band imaging (NBI), with the spectral band width narrowed by optical filters, was developed to enhance visualization of mucosal surface structure and vascular architecture. There were some reports that the magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) is superior to predict the histologic differentiation, depth of invasion and lesion margin than WLE. In this study, we divide the patients with suspected early gastric cancer (EGC) into the two groups as group using conventional WLE and EUS and group using WLE and ME-NBI, and try to compare the accuracy of EUS and ME-NBI for predicting the invasion depth of EGC. We also try to analyze the factors that affect the accuracy for predicting of depth such as characteristics of cancer lesion and histologic differentiation of cancer in each group. In addition, we try to analyze the characteristic imaging findings of ME-NBI for early gastric cancer and gastric adenoma and evaluate the efficacy of ME-NBI for early gastric cancer and gastric adenoma diagnosis.
Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node dissection and stomach preserving surgery in early gastric cancer is less invasive method which can increase quality of life. Current stomach preserving surgery after sentinel lymph node dissection produce transmural communication and expose the tumor to the peritoneum during operation. An endoscopic full-thickness resection method with a simple suturing technique that does not expose the gastric mucosa to the peritoneum (non-exposure simple suturing, NESS) was recently developed. This is the pilot study to prove the feasibility of NESS-EFTR with sentinel node navigation in early gastric cancer patients.
