  • Purpose: The Trastuzumab for gastric cancer (GC) trial identified human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) as a predictor of successful treatment with trastuzumab (HER2 receptor targeting agent) among patients with advanced/metastatic GC. To date, the prevalence of HER2 overexpression in the Korean population is unknown. The present study aimed to assess the incidence of HER2 positivity among GC and gastroesophageal (GE) junction cancer samples and the relationship between HER2 overexpression and clinicopathological characteristics in Korean patients. Materials and Methods: Tumor samples collected from 1,695 patients with histologically proven GC or GE junction enrolled at 14 different hospitals in Korea were examined. After gathering clinicopathological data of all patients, HER2 status was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at each hospital, and IHC 2+ cases were subjected to silver-enhanced in situ hybridization at 3 central laboratories. Results: A total of 182 specimens tested positive for HER2, whereas 1,505 tested negative. Therefore, the overall HER2-positive rate in this study was 10.8% (95% confidence interval=9.3%-12.3%). The HER2-positive rate was higher among intestinal-type cases (17.6%) than among other types, and was higher among patients older than 70 years and 50 years of age, compared to other age groups. Conclusions: Our evaluation of the HER2 positivity rate (10.8%) among Korean patients with GC and GE junction indicated the necessity of epidemiological data when conducting studies related to HER2 expression in GC and GE junction.

  • Purpose: Laparoscopic gastrectomy is accepted as a standard treatment for patients with early gastric cancer in Korea, Japan, and China. However, duodenal stump leakage remains a fatal complication after gastrectomy. We conducted a prospective phase II study to evaluate the safety of the new technique of laparoscopic reinforcement suture (LARS) on the duodenal stump. Materials and Methods: The estimated number of patients required for this study was 100 for a period of 18 months. Inclusion criteria were histologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma treated with laparoscopic distal or total gastrectomy and Billroth II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The primary endpoint was the incidence of duodenal stump leakage within the first 30 postoperative days. The secondary endpoints were early postoperative outcomes until discharge. Results: One hundred patients were enrolled between February 2016 and March 2017. The study groups consisted of 65 male and 35 female patients with a mean age (years) of 62.3. Of these, 63 (63%) patients had comorbidities. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 38. The mean operation time was 145 minutes including 7.8 minutes of mean LARS time. There was no occurrence of duodenal stump leakage. Thirteen complications occurred, with one case of reoperation for splenic artery rupture and one case of mortality. Conclusions: Based on the results of this prospective phase II study, LARS can be safely performed in a short operation period without development of duodenal stump leakage. A future randomized prospective controlled trial is required to confirm the surgical benefit of LARS compared to non-LARS.

  • Purpose: There are two surgical procedures for proximal early gastric cancer (EGC): total gastrectomy (TG) and proximal gastrectomy (PG). This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of PG with those of TG. Materials and Methods: Between January 2001 and December 2008, 170 patients were diagnosed with proximal EGC at Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, of which 64 patients underwent PG and 106 underwent TG. Clinicopathologic features, postoperative complications, blood chemistry data, changes in body weight, and oncological outcomes were analyzed and retrospectively compared between both groups. Results: Tumor size was smaller and the number of retrieved lymph nodes was lower in the PG group. The postoperative complication rate was 10.9% in the TG group and 16.9% in the PG group. The incidence of Los Angeles grade C and D reflux esophagitis was significantly higher in the TG group. Hemoglobin level was higher and body weight loss was greater in the TG group at 2, 3, and 5 years postoperatively. The albumin levels at 3 and 5 years were lower in the TG group. There was no significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rates between the two groups (P=0.789). Conclusions: Postoperative complications and oncologic outcomes were observed to be similar between the two groups. The PG group showed better laboratory data and weight loss than did the TG group. Moreover, severe reflux esophagitis occurred less frequently in the PG group than in the TG group. PG can be considered as an effective surgical treatment for proximal EGC.

  • Background: During the past decades, the incidence and mortality rate of stomach cancer has demonstrated a great decrease in the world, but it is still one of the most common and fatal cancers especially among men worldwide, including Iran. The MYC proto-oncogene, which is located at 8q24.1, regulates 15% of genes and is activated in 20% of all human tumors. MYC amplification and overexpression of its protein product has been reported in 15-30% of gastric neoplasias. The aim of this investigation was to find the relative efficacy of CISH (chromogenic in situ hybridization) or IHC (immunohistochemistry) in diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer, as well as the relationship of amplification and expression of C-MYC gene with patient survival. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 102 samples of gastric cancer were collected from patients who had undergone primary surgical resection at the Cancer Institute Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, from July 2009 to March 2014. All samples were randomly selected from those who were diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinomas. CISH and IHC methods were performed on all of them. Results: Patients were classified into two groups. The first consisted of stage I and II cases, and the second of stage III and IV. Survival tests for both groups was carried out with referrnce to CISH test reults. Group II (stage III & IV) with CISH+ featured lower survival than those with CISH- (p=0.233), but group I (stage I & II) patients demonstrated no significant variation with CISH+ or CISH- (p=0.630). Kaplan-Meier for both groups was carried out with IHC test findings and showed similar results. This data revealed that both diffuse and intestinal types of gastric cancer occurred significantly more in men than women. Our data also showed that CISH+ patients (43%) were more frequent in comparison with IHC+ patients (14.7%). Conclusions: For planning treatment of gastric cancer patients, by focusing on expanding tumors, which is the greatest concern of the surgeons and patients, CISH is a better and more feasible test than IHC, in regard to sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, CISH can be used as a feasible test for tumor growth and prognosis in stage III and IV lesions. This study also indicated that C-MYC amplification in gastric cancer is correlated with survival in advanced stages.

  • We report a case of pulmonary aspiration during induction of general anesthesia in a patient who was status post esophagectomy. Sudden, unexpected aspiration occurred even though the patient had fasted adequately (over 13 hours) and received rapid sequence anesthesia induction. Since during esophagectomy, the lower esophageal sphincter is excised, stomach vagal innervation is lost, and the stomach is flaccid, draining only by gravity, the patient becomes vulnerable to aspiration. As the incidence of perioperative pulmonary aspiration is relatively low, precautions to prevent aspiration tend to be overlooked. We present a video clip showing pulmonary aspiration and discuss the literature concerning the risk of aspiration and its preventive strategies.

  • Purpose: Postoperative pancreatic fistula is a dreadful complication after gastric cancer surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the actual incidence and risk factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula after curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 900 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer (laparoscopic gastrectomy, 594 patients; open gastrectomy 306 patients) were enrolled between January 2009 and December 2010. Clinical outcomes, including postoperative pancreatic fistula grade based on the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula, were investigated. Results: Overall, the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate was 3.3% (30/900) (1.5% in laparoscopic gastrectomy versus 6.9% in open gastrectomy, P<0.001). Patients who underwent D2 lymphadenectomy, total gastrectomy, splenectomy or distal pancreatectomy showed higher postoperative pancreatic fistula rates (4.7%, 13.8%, 13.6%, or 57.1%, respectively, P<0.001). Patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula had higher morbidity (46.7% versus 13.1%, P<0.001), delayed gas out (4.9 days versus 3.8 days, P<0.001), belated diet start (5.8 days versus 3.5 days, P<0.001) and longer postoperative hospital stay (13.7 days versus 6.8 days, P<0.001). On the multivariate analysis, total gastrectomy (odds ratio 9.751, 95% confidence interval: 3.348 to 28.397, P<0.001), distal pancreatectomy (odds ratio 7.637, 95% confidence interval: 1.668 to 34.961, P=0.009) and open gastrectomy (odds ratio 2.934, 95% confidence interval: 1.100 to 7.826, P=0.032) were the independent risk factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Conclusions: Laparoscopic gastrectomy had an advantage over open gastrectomy in terms of the lower postoperative pancreatic fistula rate. Total gastrectomy and combined resection, such as distal pancreatectomy, should be performed carefully to minimize postoperative pancreatic fistula in gastric cancer surgery.

  • 목적: 위폴립은 위장에 발생하는 흔한 양성 신생물로서, 증식폴립과 샘종폴립으로 크게 나눈다. 대개의 위폴립은 증식폴립이며 아직 정확한 병인은 밝혀져 있지 않다. 샘종폴립의 경우 보통 장화생 현상을 동반한 미성숙 상피세포로 변화할 수 있어, 악성 변화를 나타낼 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 샘종폴립에 비해 증식폴립에서는 악성으로 잘 이행하지 않는다고 하는, 지금까지 알려진 위폴립의 지식을 바탕으로 하여 저자들은 위절제술 후 생긴 위 폴립 병변의 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 1월부터 2004년 1월까지 위암으로 위절제술을 받은 환자 중 6개월 또는 1년을 단위로 하여 내시경 경과관찰을 한 환자의 잔위에서 생긴 위 폴립을 병리조직 학적 분류와 빈도, 내시경적 크기와 Yamada형 소견, 수술 방법에 따른 차이를 보이는지를 비교 관찰하였다. 결과: 전체 대상 환자는 138명, 정상 위에서 발생한 폴립은 115예, 위절제술 후에 발생한 폴립은 23예였다. 정상 위에서의 폴립의 발생 부위를 보면 전정부에서의 발생이 가장 많았으나, 위절제술 후에는 수술 후 문합부위에서 가장 높은 빈도를 보였다. 정상 위에서의 폴립의 조직학적 분류는 증식폴립 86예(75%), 샘종폴립 24예(21%), 염증폴립 4예(3%), 장피 화생 1예(0.8%)의 발생빈도를 보였다. 위절제술 후의 폴립의 조직학적 분류는 위십이지장 문합술 후 증식폴립 3예(18%), 샘종폴립 1예(6%), 염증폴립 13예(76%)였고 위공장 문합술 후 증식폴립 3예(50%), 샘종폴립 1예(17%), 염증폴립 2예(23%)였다. 위절제 수술 후 폴립의 크기는 정상 위의 폴립의 크기보다 작은 양상을 보였다. 정상 위에서 폴립의 Yamada 형태의 분류는 위절제 수술 후에는 I, IV형이 정상 위의 폴립에 비하여 적은 빈도로 생기는 양상을 보였다. 결론: 위절제 수술 후의 폴립은 수술 문합부에서의 발생빈도가 높았고, 주로 염증폴립 이 대부분을 차지하였으며, 자주 내시경 관찰을 하는 이유로 정상 위에서 보다 일찍 발견되어 크기는 작았으며, 육안적으로 폴립의 Yamada 형태의 분류는 II, III의 형태를 띠고 있었다.

  • 목적: 최근 자동단단문합기를 이용한 위전절제술의 비율이 높아가고 있으나 술 후 식도공장문합부 협착의 발생을 현저히 감소시키지는 않는 것으로 보고 되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 자동단단문합기 사용과 식도공장문합부 협착 발생의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방법: 1998년 9월부터 2000년 12월까지 만 2년 3개월 동안 인제의대 서울 백병원 한국위암센터에서 자동단단문합기를 사용하여 위전절제술을 시행 받은 환자 228예를 대상으로 연령 및 성별, 수술방법, 자동 단단 문합기의 지경과 그에 따른 수술 후 협착의 발생여부, 그리고 역류성 식도엽의 동반여부를 조사하였다. 결과: 전체 228예의 환자의 연령은 60대가 64예로 가장 많았고 다음으로 50대와 40대 순이었다. 남녀성비는 2.3:1로 남자에서 많았다. 문합부 협착이 있었던 32예 모두는 looptlr 문합술을 시행한 경우에 발생하였고 Roux-en-Y 문합술을 사용한 경우에는 발생하지 않았다. 전체 228예 중 32예($14\%$)서 협착이 발생하였으며 자동단단문합기 25mm에서는 69예 중 11예($15.9\%$), 28 mm에서는 159예 중 21예($13.2\%$)에서 발생하여 두 군간 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다(P>0.05). 역류성 식도염은 228예 중 56예에서 발생하였으며, 이 중 7예($12.5\%$)에서 협착이 발생하였고, 역류성 식도염이 없었던 172예 중 25예($14.5\%$)에서 협착이 발생해, 두 군 간에 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 협착의 발생시기는 6개월까지 16예, 이중 역류성 식도염이 동반된 경우는 4예($25\%$)이었으며 7개월에서 18개월까지는 14예, 역류성 식도염이 동반된 경우는 3예($21.4\%$), 19개월 이후에는 2예가 발생하여 위-식도 문합부 협착과 발생시기 또는 역류성 식도염과는 상관관계가 없었다(P>0.05). 결론: 위전절제술후에 발생하는 식도공장문합부 협착의 발생은 식도공장문합술식, 자동단단문합기의 크기, 그리고 역류성 식고염과는 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났고, 식도 공장문합부는 협착을 예방하거나 감소시키기 위해서 저자들은 적절한 크기의 자동단단문합기를 사용하여 문합부 긴장의 감소와 충분한 혈류의 공급을 유도하는 것이 중요하다고 생각한다.
