| 1 | Endoscopic and clinicopathologic characteristics of early gastric cancer with high microsatellite instability显示文摘AIM:To investigate endoscopic and clinicopathologic characteristics of early gastric cancer (EGC) according to microsatellite instability phenotype.METHODS:Data were retrospectively collected from a single tertiary referral center.Of 981 EGC patients surgically treated between December 2003 and October 2007,73 consecutive EGC patients with two or more microsatellite instability (MSI) mutation [high MSI (MSI-H)] and 146 consecutive EGC patients with one or no MSI mutation (non-MSI-H) were selected.The endoscopic and clinicopathologic features were compared between the MSI-H and non-MSI-H EGC groups.RESULTS:In terms of endoscopic characteristics,MSI-H EGCs more frequently presented with elevated pattern (OR 4.38,95% CI:2.40-8.01,P < 0.001),moderateto-severe atrophy in the surrounding mucosa (OR 1.91,95% CI:1.05-3.47,P = 0.033),antral location (OR 3.99,95% CI:2.12-7.52,P < 0.001) and synchronous lesions,compared to non-MSI-H EGCs (OR 2.65,95% CI:1.16-6.07,P = 0.021).Other significant clinicopathologic characteristics of MSI-H EGC included predominance of female sex (OR 2.77,95% CI:1.53-4.99,P < 0.001),older age (> 70 years) (OR 3.30,95% CI:1.57-6.92,P = 0.002),better histologic differentiation (OR 2.35,95% CI:1.27-4.34,P = 0.007),intestinal type by Lauren classification (OR 2.34,95% CI:1.15-4.76,P = 0.019),absence of a signet ring cell component (OR 2.44,95% CI:1.02-5.86,P = 0.046),presence of mucinous component (OR 5.06,95% CI:1.27-20.17,P = 0.022),moderate-to-severe lymphoid stromal reaction (OR 3.95,95% CI:1.59-9.80,P = 0.003),and co-existing underlying adenoma (OR 2.66,95% CI:1.43-4.95,P = 0.002).CONCLUSION:MSI-H EGC is associated with unique endoscopic and clinicopathologic characteristics including frequent presentation in protruded type,co-existing underlying adenoma,and synchronous lesions. | Jaehoon Jahng Young Hoon Youn Kwang Hyun Kim Junghwan Yu Yong Chan Lee Woo Jin Hyung Sung Hoon Noh Hyunki Kim Hoguen Kim Hyojin Park Sang In Lee | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,27: | 6 |
