World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:2602-2611. [PMID: 39220072 PMCID: PMC11362950 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i8.2602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the construction and clinical validation of a predictive model for neuroaggression in patients with gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and neuroinvasion is the key factor affecting the prognosis of patients. However, there is a lack of systematic analysis on the construction and clinical application of its prediction model. This study adopted a single-center retrospective study method, collected a large amount of clinical data, and applied statistics and machine learning technology to build and verify an effective prediction model for neuroaggression, with a view to providing scientific basis for clinical treatment decisions and improving the treatment effect and survival rate of patients with gastric cancer. AIM To investigate the value of a model based on clinical data, spectral computed tomography (CT) parameters and image omics characteristics for the preoperative prediction of nerve invasion in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 80 gastric cancer patients who underwent preoperative energy spectrum CT at our hospital between January 2022 and August 2023, these patients were divided into a positive group and a negative group according to their pathological results. Clinicopathological data were collected, the energy spectrum parameters of primary gastric cancer lesions were measured, and single factor analysis was performed. A total of 214 image omics features were extracted from two-phase mixed energy images, and the features were screened by single factor analysis and a support vector machine. The variables with statistically significant differences were included in logistic regression analysis to construct a prediction model, and the performance of the model was evaluated using the subject working characteristic curve. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in sex, carbohydrate antigen 199 expression, tumor thickness, Lauren classification and Borrmann classification between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Among the energy spectrum parameters, there were statistically significant differences in the single energy values (CT60-CT110 keV) at the arterial stage between the two groups (all P < 0.05) and statistically significant differences in CT values, iodide group values, standardized iodide group values and single energy values except CT80 keV at the portal vein stage between the two groups (all P < 0.05). The support vector machine model with the largest area under the curve was selected by image omics analysis, and its area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, P value and parameters were 0.843, 0.923, 0.714, 0.925, < 0.001, and c:g 2.64:10.56, respectively. Finally, based on the logistic regression algorithm, a clinical model, an energy spectrum CT model, an imaging model, a clinical + energy spectrum model, a clinical + imaging model, an energy spectrum + imaging model, and a clinical + energy spectrum + imaging model were established, among which the clinical + energy spectrum + imaging model had the best efficacy in diagnosing gastric cancer nerve invasion. The area under the curve, optimal threshold, Youden index, sensitivity and specificity were 0.927 (95%CI: 0.850-1.000), 0.879, 0.778, 0.778, and 1.000, respectively. CONCLUSION The combined model based on clinical features, spectral CT parameters and imaging data has good value for the preoperative prediction of gastric cancer neuroinvasion.

Development and validation of a machine learning-based 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT radiomics signature for predicting gastric cancer survival. Cancer Imaging 2024; 24:99.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC) often influences physicians' choice of their follow-up treatment. This study aimed to develop a positron emission tomography (PET)-based radiomics model combined with clinical tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with GC. METHODS We reviewed the clinical information of a total of 327 patients with pathological confirmation of GC undergoing 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET scans. The patients were randomly classified into training (n = 229) and validation (n = 98) cohorts. We extracted 171 PET radiomics features from the PET images and determined the PET radiomics scores (RS) using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random survival forest (RSF). A radiomics model, including PET RS and clinical TNM staging, was constructed to predict the OS of patients with GC. This model was evaluated for discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. RESULTS On multivariate COX regression analysis, the difference between age, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), clinical TNM, and PET RS in GC patients was statistically significant (p < 0.05). A radiomics model was developed based on the results of COX regression. The model had the Harrell's concordance index (C-index) of 0.817 in the training cohort and 0.707 in the validation cohort and performed better than a single clinical model and a model with clinical features combined with clinical TNM staging. Further analyses showed higher PET RS in patients who were older (p < 0.001) and those who had elevated CEA (p < 0.001) and higher clinical TNM (p < 0.001). At different clinical TNM stages, a higher PET RS was associated with a worse survival prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Radiomics models based on PET RS, clinical TNM, and clinical features may provide new tools for predicting OS in patients with GC.

Abstract
A novel approach is proposed leveraging surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with machine learning (ML) techniques, principal component analysis (PCA)-centroid displacement-based nearest neighbor (CDNN). This label-free approach can identify slight abnormalities between SERS spectra of gastric lesions at different stages, offering a promising avenue for detection and prevention of precancerous lesion of gastric cancer (PLGC). The agaric-shaped nanoarray substrate was prepared using gas-liquid interface self-assembly and reactive ion etching (RIE) technology to measure SERS spectra of serum from mice model with gastric lesions at different stages, and then a SERS spectral recognition model was trained and constructed using the PCA-CDNN algorithm. The results showed that the agaric-shaped nanoarray substrate has good uniformity, stability, cleanliness, and SERS enhancement effect. The trained PCA-CDNN model not only found the most important features of PLGC, but also achieved satisfactory classification results with accuracy, area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity up to 100%. This demonstrated the enormous potential of this analysis platform in the diagnosis of PLGC.

Abstract
A portion of gastric cancer patients with negative lymph node metastasis at an early stage eventually die from tumor recurrence or advanced metastasis. Occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM] is a potential risk factor for the recurrence and metastasis in these patients, and it is highly important for clinical prognosis. Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is used to assess lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer due to its advantages in anatomical and functional imaging and non-invasive nature. Among the major metabolic parameters of PET, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is commonly used for examining lymph node status. However, SUVmax is susceptible to interference by a variety of factors. In recent years, the exploration of new PET metabolic parameters, new PET imaging agents and radiomics, has become an active research topic. This paper aims to explore the feasibility and predict the effectiveness of using PET/CT to detect OLNM. The current landscape and future trends of primary metabolic parameters and new imaging agents of PET are reviewed. For gastric cancer patients, the possibility to detect OLNM non-invasively will help guide surgeons to choose the appropriate lymph node dissection area, thereby reducing unnecessary dissections and providing more reasonable, personalized and comprehensive treatments.

Abstract
Background The status of lymph nodes in early gastric cancer is critical to make further clinical treatment decision, but the prediction of lymph node metastasis remains difficult before operation. This study aimed to develop a nomogram that contained preoperative factors to predict lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer patients. Methods This study analyzed the clinicopathologic features of 823 early gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy retrospectively, among which 596 patients were recruited in the training cohort and 227 patients in the independent validation cohort. Significant risk factors in univariate analysis were further identified to be independent variables in multivariable logistic regression analysis, which were then incorporated in and presented with a nomogram. And internal and external validation curves were plotted to evaluate the discrimination of the nomogram. Results Totally, six independent predictors, including the tumor size, macroscopic features, histology differentiation, P53, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, and computed tomography-reported lymph node status, were enrolled in the nomogram. Both the internal validation in the training cohort and the external validation in the validation cohort showed the nomogram had good discriminations, with a C-index of 0.82 (95%CI, 0.78 to 0.86) and 0.77 (95%CI, 0.60 to 0.94) respectively. Conclusions Our study developed a new nomogram which contained the most common and significant preoperative risk factors for lymph node metastasis in patients with early gastric cancer. The nomogram can identify early gastric cancer patients with the high probability of lymph node metastasis and help clinicians make more appropriate decisions in clinical practice.

Pattern of extragastric recurrence and the role of abdominal computed tomography in surveillance after endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer: Korean experiences. Gastric Cancer 2017; 20:843-852.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although extragastric recurrence after endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer is rare, it is important because of its potentially fatal outcomes. We investigated the patterns of extragastric recurrence after endoscopic resection and evaluated the role of abdominal computed tomography in surveillance. METHODS Between July 1994 and June 2014, 4915 patients underwent endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer. Because of follow-up periods of less than 6 months and consecutive surgery within 1 year, 810 patients were excluded. Thus, 4105 patients were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 37 months (interquartile range 20-59.6 months). The overall incidence of extragastric recurrence was 0.37% (n = 15). In patients who underwent curative resection, the incidence was 0.14% (n = 5). There were three recurrences in the absolute indication group, six in the expanded indication group, and six in the beyond expanded indication group. The median time to extragastric recurrence was 17 months (interquartile range 16.5-43.2 months). Of the 15 extragastric recurrences, 11 were in the regional lymph nodes and 4 were in the liver, adrenal gland, and peritoneum. Sixty percent (9/15) of the extragastric recurrences occurred without intragastric lesions. Eleven recurrences were detected by abdominal computed tomography, and eight patients underwent curative surgery. CONCLUSIONS After endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer, regional lymph node recurrence is the predominant extragastric recurrence pattern, which can be detected via abdominal computed tomography and cured by rescue surgery. Abdominal computed tomography should be considered as a surveillance method, especially in patients with an expanded indication.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a disease with low survival rates and high morbidity, requiring accurate and prompt diagnosis and treatment. Although limited in the evaluation of the primary tumor as such, the metabolic information of primary tumors in an 18F-FDG PET/CT study can assist in surgical and treatment planning and differentiating gastric cancers. It detects nodal disease with good specificity and positive predictive value, thus enabling appropriate therapy for individual patients. It provides valuable information about distant metastases, altering therapy decisions. It has reasonably good performance in detecting recurrent disease and in the follow-up of patients.

Abstract
An accurate preoperative staging of nodal status is crucial in gastric cancer, because it has a great impact on prognosis and therapeutic decision-making. Different staging methods have been evaluated for gastric cancer in order to predict nodal involvement. So far, no technique could meet the necessary requirements, which include a high detection rate of infiltrated lymph nodes and a low frequency of false-positive results. This article summarizes different staging methods used to assess lymph node status in patients with gastric cancer, evaluates the evidence, and proposes to establish new methods.

Abstract
Objective: The arrival of precision medicine plan brings new opportunities and challenges for patients undergoing precision diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. With the development of medical imaging, information on different modality imaging can be integrated and comprehensively analyzed by imaging fusion system. This review aimed to update the application of multimodality imaging fusion technology in the precise diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors under the precision medicine plan. We introduced several multimodality imaging fusion technologies and their application to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors in clinical practice. Date Sources: The data cited in this review were obtained mainly from the PubMed database from 1996 to 2016, using the keywords of “precision medicine”, “fusion imaging”, “multimodality”, and “tumor diagnosis and treatment”. Study Selection: Original articles, clinical practice, reviews, and other relevant literatures published in English were reviewed. Papers focusing on precision medicine, fusion imaging, multimodality, and tumor diagnosis and treatment were selected. Duplicated papers were excluded. Results: Multimodality imaging fusion technology plays an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment under the precision medicine plan, such as accurate location, qualitative diagnosis, tumor staging, treatment plan design, and real-time intraoperative monitoring. Multimodality imaging fusion systems could provide more imaging information of tumors from different dimensions and angles, thereby offing strong technical support for the implementation of precision oncology. Conclusion: Under the precision medicine plan, personalized treatment of tumors is a distinct possibility. We believe that multimodality imaging fusion technology will find an increasingly wide application in clinical practice.
