Apatinib With Oxaliplatin and S-1 Treatment for Advanced Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma Of The Stomach

Gastric cancer is a highly heterogeneous tumor. The most commonly used clinical classifications of gastric cancer are Lauren classification (intestinal, diffuse, mixed) and World Health Organization(WHO) classification (papillary adenocarcinoma, tubular adenocarcinoma, mucinous glands cancer and low-adhesion cancer). Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is a special and rare type of gastric cancer. Compared with ordinary gastric cancer, HAS has unique clinicopathological characteristics, prone to liver metastasis and lymph node metastasis, has a highly aggressive and malignant biological behavior, a worse prognosis than alpha fetoprotein(AFP) normal gastric cancer, and is easily confused with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). There is the possibility of misdiagnosis and mistreatment, so it has gradually attracted people's attention. Most of the domestic and foreign literature on HAS in the past 30 years are retrospective cases or small sample reports, and there are few prospective studies. There is no standard treatment plan for HAS. The main treatment is based on gastric adenocarcinoma. The clinical treatment principle is a comprehensive treatment plan with surgical resection as the mainstay, supplemented by systemic chemotherapy and local interventional therapy. This type of gastric cancer has a relatively high degree of malignancy, rapid progress of the disease, and easy recurrence after surgery. There is no standard treatment plan in China and other foreign countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib with oxaliplatin and S-1 treatment advanced hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

Evaluation of PET and Laparoscopy in STagIng Advanced Gastric Cancer

Objective: To evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of FDG-PET/CT (PET) and diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS) in addition to initial staging by CT and gastroscopy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Hypothesis: The study hypothesizes that performing DLS and PET for advanced gastric adenocarcinomas results in a reduction in the number of futile gastrectomies performed and a favorable cost-effectiveness. According to the literature, in 27% of patients a futile gastrectomy can be prevented, and the annual cost-reduction is an estimated €916.438. Study design: The study design is a prospective observational study. Study population: The study population consists of patients with a surgically resectable, advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (cT3-4a,N0-3,M0), that are scheduled for treatment with curative intent after initial staging with gastroscopy and CT. Usual care / comparison: Both PET and DLS were recently included in the new Dutch guidelines for the treatment of gastric cancer, as staging modalities for advanced (T3-4) tumors after initial staging. The costs of the study population will be compared to retrospective data of patients who underwent curative surgery (gastrectomy) after initial staging with CT alone. Outcome measures: The primary outcome of this study will be the proportion of patients in whom the PET or DLS lead to a change in treatment strategy. The accuracy of each modality will be analyzed separately. Secondary outcome parameters will be diagnostic performance, morbidity and mortality, quality of life, cost-reduction and cost-effectiveness. Sample size: Based on the expectation that 22% of patients will have a change in treatment strategy, at least 239 patients will be needed for this study to demonstrate that the diagnostic modalities in the new guideline are break-even. Approximately 543 patients will be eligible for the study in 36 months. Cost-effectiveness analysis: A state-of-the-art cost-effectiveness analysis and budget impact analysis will be performed on the additive value of PET and DLS by both prospective and retrospective data collection

The Thoracic Peri-Operative Integrative Surgical Care Evaluation Trial - Stage II

Despite enormous advances in thoracic surgery and oncology, two critical issues concern patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for lung, gastric and esophageal cancer: first, a majority (~60%) of patients experience minor and major adverse events occurring during and in the days following surgery; second, patients worry about the significant risk of cancer recurrence and mortality months to years after surgery. These issues, combined with side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, have detrimental effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). On a deeper level, there is the problem of an ongoing failure to integrate and evaluate the best of what complementary medicine has to offer surgical oncology care. Too many clinical trials focus on single agent therapies, rather than broad multi-faceted individualized and integrative care interventions that are used in real world settings. The Thoracic POISE project has the overarching goal of improving care for thoracic cancer patients by impacting HRQoL, reducing surgical adverse events, prolonging overall survival and pioneering integrative care delivery.

Validation of an Artificial Intelligence System Based on Raman Spectroscopy for Diagnosis of Gastric Premalignant Lesions and Early Gastric Cancer

Early detection and treatment of gastric premalignant lesion and early gastric cancer (EGC) have been proposed to improve outcomes of gastric cancer. Gastric dysplasia is a premalignant lesion and the penultimate stage in gastric carcinogenesis. On white light endoscopy (WLE), it is difficult to distinguish gastric dysplasia and EGC from benign pathology such as gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). Image enhanced endoscopy such as narrow-band imaging (NBI) is recommended to improve characterization of suspicious gastric lesions detected on WLE. Magnified-endoscopy with NBI (ME-NBI) have been shown to be superior to HD-WLE for diagnosis of GIM and EGC. Data on gastric dysplasia is less robust. Ultimately, biopsy is required to confirm diagnosis of gastric dysplasia/EGC. Gastric dysplasia can be classified into low-grade dysplasia (LGD) or high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Biopsy sampling may not be representative of the final histopathological grade of resected specimens and may under-stage dysplasia. Thus, endoscopic resection (ER) is recommended for gastric dysplasia and EGC on biopsy for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. The current gap is to improve concordance of endoscopic and histologic findings of gastric dysplasia and early gastric cancer. Raman spectroscopy based artificial intelligence system (SPECTRA IMDx) was developed to provide an objective method to identify patients with gastric premalignant lesions and EGC. SPECTRA IMDx interrogate tissues at the cellular level and utilizes molecular information to provide actionable information to endoscopist during gastroscopy. Studies on diagnostic performance using Raman spectroscopy analysis devices have shown high sensitivity and specificity in detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions compared to WLE. However, these studies included few GIM, gastric dysplasia and gastric carcinoma. It is still unclear if Raman spectroscopy outperforms WLE in diagnosis of gastric HGD and EGC. In addition, the Raman spectroscopy algorithm is only able to characterize lesions into high risk (HGD/EGC) versus low risk (GIM/LGD/Gastritis/Normal). It is also uncertain if this technology is able to differentiate GIM and LGD. We plan to conduct a prospective trial to validate the diagnostic accuracy of SPECTRA for prediction of gastric HGD and EGC prior to gastric ER. Hypothesis: SPECTRA IMDx is able to differentiate higher risk lesions (HGD/EGC) from lower risk tissue/lesion (GIM/LGD/Gastritis/Normal)
