Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The incidence of gastric and duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (GNET and DNET, respectively) is increasing, however associated factors of these diseases are not well known. Here, we investigated the factors associated with GNET and DNET. METHODS Patients with GNET and DNET presenting at eight tertiary referral centers between 2001 and 2020 were included and compared with healthy controls who underwent upper endoscopic screening. Clinical factors and laboratory data were analyzed to determine associated factors of GNET and DNET. RESULTS Overall, 396 patients with GNET and 193 patients with DNET were included and compared with 1725 healthy controls. Multivariate analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR] 0.98), diabetes (OR 1.72), hypertension (OR 1.97), low serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (OR 2.54), and past/present H. pylori infection (OR 1.46) were significantly associated with GNET. In contrast, DNET was significantly associated with diabetes (OR 1.80), hypertension (OR 1.68), low serum HDL-C levels (OR 2.29), and past/present H. pylori infection (OR 5.42). In the sex-based subgroup analysis in GNET, current smoking was strongly associated in women (OR 9.85), but not in men. CONCLUSIONS This study identified several common metabolic factors associated with GNET and DNET. Additionally, some factors had sex-specific associations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies conflict on whether sex influences survival in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). GEP-NETs express receptors and genes responsive to female hormones. We hypothesized that women would have improved survival and this difference would be greater in premenopausal age women compared to older women. MATERIALS AND METHODS The National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2016 was queried for patients with GEP-NETs based on histologic code. Demographic, tumor, treatment, and socioeconomic characteristics were compared between men and women and age ≤45 or >65 y using Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon tests as appropriate. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS Included in the study were 73,521 patients with small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs), gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs), or pancreas neuroendocrine tumors (36,197 female, 37,324 male). Women lived longer regardless of primary site, with the largest difference in GNETs (median OS 139 versus 85 mo) and smallest in SBNETs (121 versus 116, P < 0.001 for both). While male patients more often had high grade and metastatic disease, female sex remained independently associated with improved OS after adjusting for confounders (hazard ratio 0.84, P < 0.001). In GNETs and SBNETs, female sex had a larger beneficial effect on OS in premenopausal than postmenopausal patients. CONCLUSIONS Women with GEP-NETs have improved survival over men, especially in the premenopausal age group. This may be due to a protective effect of female hormones; however, further studies are necessary to uncover the biologic basis of this difference.

[PMID: 37701903 PMCID: PMC10493410 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1241724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The epidemiologic trends and survival related to early-onset gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) have not been well explored. Methods Trends in the incidence and incidence-based mortality of early-onset GEP-NENs between 1975 and 2018 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, and were stratified by age, sex, race, tumor site, stage, and grade. Associated population data were used to determine overall survival (OS) and independent prognostic factors for patients with early-onset GEP-NENs. Results A total of 17299 patients diagnosed with early-onset GEP-NENs were included in this study. Results revealed an increase in the incidence (5.95% per year, 95% confidence interval (CI), 5.75-6.14%) and incidence-based mortality (4.24% per year, 95% CI, 3.92-4.56%) for early-onset GEP-NENs from 1975 to 2018, with higher rates of increase than those of later-onset GEP-NENs (incidence: 4.45% per year, 95% CI, 4.38-4.53; incidence-based mortality: 4.13% per year, 95% CI, 3.89-4.37; respectively). Increases in incidence were observed across all age, races, tumor sites, grades, and stages, except for patients with unknown stage. Compared to those with later-onset GEP-NENs, a higher proportion of female gender (54.5% vs. 49.0%, p <0.001), well-differentiated tumor (31.1% vs. 28.0%, p <0.05), and localized disease (55.2% vs. 46.7%, p <0.05) were observed in the cohort of patients with early-onset GEP-NENs. Moreover, early-onset GEP-NENs exhibited a superior overall survival in comparison to later-onset GEP-NENs, irrespective of tumor site, grade, or stage (p <0.0001). Multivariable survival analysis identified that race, marital status, stage, grade, chemotherapy, and primary site were significantly correlated with OS in individuals with early-onset GEP-NENs. Conclusions The incidence and incidence-based mortality rates of early-onset GEP-NENs have steadily increased over time, with higher rates of increase than those of later-onset GEP-NENs. The clinical characteristics and survival were different between early-onset and later-onset GEP-NENs groups. Race, marital status, stage, grade, chemotherapy, and primary site were independent prognostic factors for early-onset GEP-NENs. Further investigations are warranted to better understand the characteristics of this disease subgroup.

[PMID: 37444627 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Data on the possible connection between circulating adipokines and PanNENs are limited. This novel study aimed to assess the serum levels of leptin and adiponectin and their ratio in patients with PanNENs and to evaluate the possible relationship between them and PanNEN's grade or stage, including the presence of metastases. The study group consisted of PanNENs (n = 83), and healthy controls (n = 39). Leptin and adiponectin measurement by an ELISA assay was undertaken in the entire cohort. The serum concentration of adiponectin was significantly higher in the control group compared to the study group (p < 0.001). The concentration of leptin and adiponectin was significantly higher in females than in males (p < 0.01). Anincreased leptin-adiponectin ratio was observed in well-differentiated PanNENs (G1) vs. moderatelydifferentiated PanNENs (G2) (p < 0.05). An increased leptin-adiponectin ratio was found in PanNENs with Ki-67 < 3% vs. Ki-67 ≥ 3% (p < 0.05). PanNENs with distal disease presented lower leptin levels (p < 0.001) and a decreased leptin-adiponectin ratio (p < 0.01) compared with the localized disease group. Leptin, adiponectin, and the leptin-adiponectin ratio may serve as potential diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers for PanNENs. Leptin levels and the leptin-adiponectin ratio may play an important role as predictors of malignancy and metastasis in PanNENs.

Abstract
Metabolic abnormalities are well-known risk factors for many cancers, even though no clearly established link with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) has yet been investigated. This research aimed to assess the serum levels of leptin, chromogranin A (CgA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in patients with PanNENs and to search for associations between PanNENs, these selected serum biomarkers, and metabolic abnormalities in the form of metabolic syndrome (MS). Second, we aimed to investigate whether MS increases the risk of PanNENs. The serum concentrations of biomarkers, metabolic parameters (glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides), and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, BMI) were assessed in 106 patients with PanNENs and 40 healthy volunteers. Patients with PanNENs showed higher serum concentrations of CA19-9, CEA, and CgA in comparison to controls (p < 0.001, p = 0.042, and p = 0.025, respectively). Statistically significant differences in CEA levels were found in PanNENs patients with MS (p = 0.043). PanNENs patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and who were female exhibited significantly higher leptin levels (p < 0.001 and p = 0.013, respectively). Additionally, this study reflects the importance of determining markers. Future research should focus on understanding the impact of metabolic disturbances on PanNENs and accounting for the relationship between PanNENs and MS, such as other malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence and subsequent conditions of childhood and adolescent obesity are increasing. It has been seen that obesity in youth is associated with adulthood cancer. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled association of childhood obesity with cancers in adulthood. METHODS In this systematic review, international electronic databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE were searched using relevant keywords until February 2022. All Cohort studies assessing the association of childhood and adolescent obesity (under 18 years old) with the incidence and mortality of all types of cancers were included. Two independent reviewers screened and carried out the quality assessment of included studies. Between-studies heterogeneity was assessed using the I squared and Cochran's Q tests. Random/fixed-effect meta-analyses were used to pool the appropriate effect sizes (Hazard ratios (HR)). RESULTS Overall, 46 studies were found to be relevant and were included in this study. Based on the random-effects model meta-analysis, childhood obesity increased the hazard of cancer incidence and mortality in adulthood by 33% (HR: 1.33, 95%CI (1.25, 1.41)) and by 28% (HR: 1.28, 95%CI (1.13, 1.42)), respectively. In the subgroups meta-analysis, the HR of childhood obesity and adulthood cancer incidence mortality in women was higher than in men (HR=1.39, 95%CI (1.25, 1.53) vs HR= 1.20, 95%CI (1.07, 1.32)) and (HR= 1.40, 95%CI (1.10, 1.69) vs HR=1.20, 95%CI (1.04, 1.36)) respectively. CONCLUSION This study found that obesity in childhood and adolescence is associated with a significant increase in the incidence and mortality of cancers in adulthood. Prevention of childhood obesity, in addition to its short-term beneficial effects, can reduce the burden of cancer in adulthood. The data sets of this study are present in the Tables of the current manuscript. Moreover this study was registered online in PROSPERO (registration code: CRD42022331958).

[PMID: 36289922 PMCID: PMC9599081 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10102660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) are rare neoplasms, which, due to their heterogeneous nature, non-specific symptoms, and lack of specific tumor markers pose many diagnostic and clinical challenges. In recent years, the effectiveness of GEP-NEN diagnosis has increased, which is probably associated with the greater availability of diagnostic tests and the cooperation of many experienced specialists in various scientific disciplines. In addition to the possible genetic etiology, the cause of GEP-NET development is not fully understood. Inflammation and obesity are known risks that contribute to the development of many diseases. Chronic inflammation accompanying obesity affects the hormonal balance and cell proliferation and causes the impairment of the immune system function, leading to neoplastic transformation. This review explores the role of inflammation and obesity in GEP-NETs. The exact mechanisms inducing tumor growth are unknown; however, the profile of inflammatory factors released in the GEP-NET tumor microenvironment is responsible for the progression or inhibition of tumor growth. Both the excess of adipose tissue and the impaired function of the immune system affect not only the initiation of cancer but also reduce the comfort and lifetime of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms [GEP-NENs] have rarely been reported in association with inflammatory bowel diseases [IBDs]. METHODS An ECCO COllaborative Network For Exceptionally Rare case reports project [ECCO-CONFER] collects cases of GEP-NENs diagnosed in patients with IBD. RESULTS GEP-NEN was diagnosed in 100 IBD patients; 61% female, 55% Crohn's disease, median age 48 years (interquartile range [IQR] 38-59]). The most common location was the appendix [39%] followed by the colon [22%]. Comprehensive IBD-related data were available for 50 individuals with a median follow-up of 30 months [IQR 11-70] following NEN diagnosis. Median duration of IBD at NEN diagnosis was 84 months [IQR 10-151], and in 18% of cases NEN and IBD were diagnosed concomitantly. At diagnosis, 20/50 were stage-I [T1N0M0], and 28/50 were graded G1 [ki67 ≤2%]. Incidental diagnosis of NEN and concomitantly IBD diagnosis were associated with an earlier NEN stage [p = 0.01 and p = 0.02, respectively]. Exposure to immunomodulatory or biologic therapy was not associated with advanced NEN stage or grade. Primary GEP-NEN were more frequently found in the segment affected by IBD [62% vs 38%]. At the last follow-up data, 47/50 patients were alive, and only two deaths were related to NEN. CONCLUSIONS In the largest case series to date, prognosis of patients with GEP-NEN and IBD seems favourable. Incidental NEN diagnosis correlates with an earlier NEN stage, and IBD-related therapies are probably independent of NEN stage and grade. The association of GEP-NEN location and the segment affected by IBD may suggest a possible role of inflammation in NEN tumorigenesis.

Lee HW, Huang D, Shin WK, de la Torre K, Yang JJ, Song M, Shin A, Lee JK, Kang D. Obesity at early adulthood increases risk of gastric cancer from the Health Examinees-Gem (HEXA-G) study. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0260826. [PMID: 35120118 PMCID: PMC8815964 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0260826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Emerging evidence has indicated a possible link between obesity in early life with subsequent cancer risks, but its association with gastric cancer remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association of obesity at ages 18-20 and 35 with the later risk of gastric cancer among the Korean population. Included were 122,724 individuals who participated in the large-scale prospective cohort study, the Health Examinees-Gem (HEXA-G) study, during 2004-2017. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for gastric cancer risk associated with body mass index (BMI) at ages 18-20 and 35 years. During a mean follow-up period of 8.6±2.1 years, a total 927 gastric cancer cases (531 men and 396 women) were identified. When compared to normal BMI (18.5-23.0 kg/m2), obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) at age 35 was significantly associated with increased risk of gastric cancer later in life among total participants (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.26-2.97, p 0.01). When analyzed separately by sex, obesity at 35 years of age was significantly associated with increased risk of gastric cancer among both men (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.02-3.13, p 0.05) and women (HR 2.35, 95% CI 1.21-4.60, p 0.02). No significant associations were found for obesity at late adolescence in both men and women. Our findings suggest that obesity in early adulthood may be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. The results may aid in understanding the etiology of GC in a population with a divergent trend of gastric cancer.

Influence of Gender on Therapy and Outcome of Neuroendocrine Tumors of Gastroenteropancreatic Origin: A Single-Center Analysis. Visc Med 2020; 36:20-27. [PMID: 32110653 DOI: 10.1159/000505500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Gender-specific treatment is gaining growing attention in various fields of medicine. In gastrointestinal cancer, influence of sex on outcome has been discussed, while this has not been the case in neuroendocrine tumors. Overall, the incidence of neuroendocrine neoplasms is rising, especially for appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms in women. Also, women seem to have a slight advantage in response to therapy, especially for liver metastases. Objectives This single-center analysis aimed to investigate gender-specific differences in our cohort related to distribution, therapy, and outcome. Methods Patients from the NET registry as well as the clinic database were evaluated retrospectively concerning overall survival and response to therapy with respect to gender. A subgroup analysis was carried out for patients with low grading and response to chemotherapy, as well as for patients with good and moderate grading receiving peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and for a group of patients with liver surgery. Results No specific differences could be detected for overall survival or response to therapy between male and female patients. Mean survival was estimated with 242.2 months (±10.39 SD) altogether and 221.7 months (± 13.02 SD) for male patients and 253.5 months (±15.24 SD) for female patients from the NET registry from initial diagnosis. There was no significant difference between female and male patients (p = 0.136). For patients receiving chemotherapy, overall survival from initial diagnosis was calculated with 26 months (±2.59) and did not show any significant differences between female and male patients 24.8 months (±2.81 SD) vs. 27.8 months (±3.86 SD, p = 0.87). Patients undergoing peptide receptor radionuclide therapy showed a median progression-free survival of 26.9 months (±2.82 SD), with 16.9 (±5.595 SD) and 26.9 months (±3.019 SD) for male and female patients, respectively (p = 0.2). In the group of patients with liver surgery, female patients reached an estimated overall survival of 64.7 months (±4.16 SD), male patients 65.1 months (±2.79 SD, p = 0.562). Conclusion Our cohort did not reveal significant differences in outcome and response to therapy with regards to gender.
