AGAP2-AS1 promotes the assembly of m6A methyltransferases and activation of the IL6/STAT3 pathway by binding with WTAP in the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. FASEB J 2023; 37:e23302.

Abstract
Owing to the lack of biomarkers for early diagnosis, gastric cancer (GC) is often associated with a poor prognosis. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify early molecular targets in GC. Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been evaluated by integrated bioinformatics analysis; and we investigate their specific role and potential mechanism via N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification in the carcinogenesis and progression of GC. In this study, we report upregulation of lncRNA AGAP2-AS1, activated by a gain of H3K4Me3, in GC tissues and cells. AGAP2-AS1 was linked to adverse prognosis in patients with GC. Functionally, AGAP2-AS1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and migration of GC cells. Mechanistically, AGAP2-AS1 bound WT1-associated protein (WTAP) to promote the formation of the WTAP/methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)/METTL14 m6A methyltransferase complex. AGAP2-AS1 stabilized signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mRNA in an m6A-dependent manner and, thus, activated the interleukin 6 (IL6)/STAT3 pathway. Importantly, activation of the AGAP2-AS1/WTAP/STAT3 pathways promoted cell proliferation and migration in GC. Collectively, the present findings revealed a novel regulatory relationship between lncRNA and m6A modification. Furthermore, targeting the AGAP2-AS1/WTAP/STAT3 axis may be a promising strategy for the inhibition of inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis and progression in GC.

Yu HH, Yonemura Y, Ng HJ, Lee MC, Su BC, Hsieh MC. Benefit of Neoadjuvant Laparoscopic Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy and Bidirectional Chemotherapy for Patients with Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Considering Cytoreductive Surgery. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3401. [PMID: 37444511 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133401] [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: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Comprehensive treatment comprising neoadjuvant laparoscopic HIPEC (L-HIPEC) and bidirectional intraperitoneal and systemic induction chemotherapy (BISIC) followed by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has been developed. However, its benefits and patient selection criteria have not been thoroughly investigated. We retrospectively reviewed 113 patients, with 25 having received comprehensive treatment (L-HIPEC, BISIC, and then CRS-HIPEC; the BISIC group) and 88 having received direct CRS-HIPEC (the CRS group). The BISIC group showed greater tumor clearance in terms of post-CRS peritoneal cancer index ((PCI) 6 vs. 14, p = 0.002) compared to CRS group. The median survival was 20.0 months in the BISIC group and 8.6 months in the CRS group (p = 0.031). Multivariable analysis revealed that the factors associated with increased survival were the BISIC protocol, age, and post-CRS tumor clearance. BISIC significantly improved survival in cases of moderate severity (PCI 11-20) and severe cases (PCI 21-39) without increasing the morbidity rate. We recommend the use of this neoadjuvant strategy for patients with gastric cancer-associated PC and an initial PCI of >10 to provide superior survival outcomes.

Surgical Options for Peritoneal Surface Metastases from Digestive Malignancies-A Comprehensive Review. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59020255. [PMID: 36837456 PMCID: PMC9960111 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
The peritoneum is a common site for the dissemination of digestive malignancies, particularly gastric, colorectal, appendix, or pancreatic cancer. Other tumors such as cholangiocarcinomas, digestive neuroendocrine tumors, or gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) may also associate with peritoneal surface metastases (PSM). Peritoneal dissemination is proven to worsen the prognosis of these patients. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), along with systemic chemotherapy, have been shown to constitute a survival benefit in selected patients with PSM. Furthermore, the association of CRS with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) seems to significantly improve the prognosis of patients with certain types of digestive malignancies associated with PSM. However, the benefit of CRS with HIPEC is still controversial, especially due to the significant morbidity associated with this procedure. According to the results of the PRODIGE 7 trial, CRS for PSM from colorectal cancer (CRC) achieved overall survival (OS) rates higher than 40 months, but the addition of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC failed to improve the long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the PROPHYLOCHIP and COLOPEC trials failed to demonstrate the effectiveness of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC for preventing peritoneal metastases development in high-risk patients operated for CRC. In this review, we discuss the limitations of these studies and the reasons why these results are not sufficient to refute this technique, until future well-designed trials evaluate the impact of different HIPEC regimens. In contrast, in pseudomyxoma peritonei, CRS plus HIPEC represents the gold standard therapy, which is able to achieve 10-year OS rates ranging between 70 and 80%. For patients with PSM from gastric carcinoma, CRS plus HIPEC achieved median OS rates higher than 40 months after complete cytoreduction in patients with a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ≤6. However, the data have not yet been validated in randomized clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the controversies regarding the most efficient drugs that should be used for HIPEC and the duration of the procedure. We also discuss the current evidence and controversies related to the benefit of CRS (and HIPEC) in patients with PSM from other digestive malignancies. Although it is a palliative treatment, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) significantly increases OS in patients with unresectable PSM from gastric cancer and represents a promising approach for patients with PSM from other digestive cancers.

Abstract
Background: Peritoneal lavage cytology in patients with gastric cancer may correlate with an unfavorable prognosis. This study evaluated the presence of free cancer cells in the peritoneal lavage of a population of patients with gastric cancer and its correlation with the outcome of surgical treatment. Methods: One hundred patients diagnosed with gastric or gastrointestinal junction adenocarcinoma underwent surgery. In all patients, a cytological and immunohistochemical analysis of peritoneal lavage was performed. Based on the presence of free cancer cells (fcc) at the cytological and immunohistochemical examination of peritoneal lavage, patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer were divided into two groups: fcc (+) and fcc (–). Results: A total of 100 patients, 37 women, and 63 men with a median age of 65 years were included in the study. In the entire study group, 16 (16%) patients were positive for the presence of free cancer cells (fcc +) at peritoneal lavage examination. However, in the group of patients who underwent gastrectomy, fcc (+) was found in 10 out of 77 (13%) patients. The presence of cancer cells in peritoneal lavage was a strong predictive factor in an unfavorable outcome after surgery, and 1-year and 2-year patient survival was 34 and 0% in fcc (+) patients and 79 and 59% in fcc (–), respectively. Moreover, the presence of free cancer cells was associated with a five-fold increased risk of death within 2 years after surgery. When analyzing the group of patients undergoing R0/R1 surgery, this difference was even more significant (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The presence of free cancer cells in peritoneal lavage may significantly affect the outcome of patients with gastric cancer. Radical surgery in patients with free cancer cells in the peritoneal lavage did not result in a survival advantage. Identification of free cancer cells could help for a better stratification of gastric cancer patients, identifying those patients who could better benefit from a radical surgical treatment, finally improving long-term survival.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) have an incidence of 10-20% in patients with gastric cancer (GC), and even up to 40% in patients with UICC Stage III GC. Due to the aggressive characteristic of adenocarcinoma of the stomach, GC is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. For GC with PM, the treatment of choice is according to national and international guidelines systemic chemotherapy, combined with biologic therapy against specific receptor antigen in with overexpression, such as HER-2. Multimodal treatment regimens including intraperitoneal application of chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) have been investigated and established all over the world. Driven by pharmacological studies and thoughts considering the increased benefits of cytotoxic agents used in the abdominal cavity, several drugs and drug combinations are widely used. In order to standardize treatment protocols, it is crucial to differentiate between normothermic and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC, HIPEC). The requirements of an ideal cytotoxic drug different obviously dependent on its application method. Because of their high molecular weight and lipophilic structure, taxanes, such as paclitaxel or docetaxel have a long intraperitoneal retention time and are commonly used in NIPEC, while platin derivates, such as carboplatin or oxaliplatin are known for their synergistic effect to heat and are chosen in HIPEC. This review aims to explore and summarize different intraperitoneal treatment regimens strictly evaluated by supporting evidence in an effort to consolidate many regimens to a few evidence-based treatment protocols that deserve further investigation and distribution. This analysis included all studies focusing on intraperitoneal chemotherapy: Phase II, Phase III trials and non-randomized retrospective trials of larger cohorts of patients with GC and established PM or risk of PM. Interestingly, the protocols for NIPEC are quite uniform, with less variation between the therapeutic components in contrast to the different HIPEC protocols. This difference might be explained by the divergent evolution of NIPEC and HIPEC, as the former exclusively originated in Japan, while HIPEC experienced a more multicentric evolution and distribution in the United States, Asia, Europe, and worldwide utilization today.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) with intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods In this case-matched study, we retrospectively reviewed the database of 223 patients with AGC who underwent LDG in Tangdu Hospital from April 2016 to February 2019. Among all participants, 177 patients underwent LDG alone and 46 underwent LDG with HIPEC. We matched total of 138 (1:2) patients from the LDG + HIPEC group (n 46) and the LDG group (n 92) for gender, age, date of operation, and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage of tumor. Results There was no significant difference in the Clavien-Dindo classification of complications between LDG alone and LDG + HIPEC patients. Further analysis showed the morbidity of gastroparesis to be significantly increased in LDG + HIPEC patients. At the same time, we found that the operation time, the time to 1st flatus, and hospital stay were longer in LDG + HIPEC patients and the incidence of abdominal recurrence 2 years after operation was significantly higher in the LDG group than the LDG + HIPEC group. Conclusions The combination of LDG with intraoperative HIPEC is a safe and feasible method for AGC and HIPEC will limit the recovery of gastrointestinal functions. In addition, during the follow-up of our study, although there was no statistical difference between the two groups in abdominal recurrence at 2 years after surgery, a decreasing trend of abdominal recurrence in LDG + HIPEC patients could be seen in comparison to LDG patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute renal impairment (ARI) is a major complication after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for cancer patients with peritoneal metastases. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and identify the risk factors of post-HIPEC creatinine increased. METHODS From April 2015 to December 2019, demographic and perioperative data of 169 patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC with a preoperative creatinine level <1.5 mg/dL were retrospectively reviewed. Renal impairment was defined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. The risk factors of creatinine increased were analyzed using univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Among the 169 enrolled patients, 21 (12.4%) had postoperative creatinine increased (ARI group) and 148 (87.6%) did not (non-ARI group). Significantly more of the ARI group received a cisplatin HIPEC regimen than the non-ARI group (71.4 vs. 37.8%, p = 0.004). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the patients who received a cisplatin HIPEC regimen (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 11.38, p < 0.001) and peritoneal dialysis solution as HIPEC perfusate (AOR = 7.07, p = 0.002) were more likely to develop post-HIPEC creatinine increased. CONCLUSIONS Identifying the risk factors of post-HIPEC creatinine increased can help to improve patient selection, a dose of HIPEC regimens modification and perioperative care. We also identified the detrimental renal effect of peritoneal dialysis solution as HIPEC perfusate. More prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) are increasingly treated with multidisciplinary combined approaches. The study aim was to assess current practice and perceptions of treatment modalities of PC. Methods Indian Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (ISPSM) members were invited to complete an online survey. Current practice and perceptions of treatment modalities were assessed through 19 closed questions. Scores were assessed using a Likert scale (0: not important, 5: very important). Treatment modality satisfaction was assessed using a semantic scale (frustrated: 0, perfectly happy: 10). Participants were sent 3 reminders at 4-week intervals. Results Fifty-seven out of 182 members completed the survey (31%). Forty percent of participants had an experience of at least 10 years, and 75% stated treating less than 20 PC patients per year. Main treatment goals for patients with PC were cure (5/5) and symptom relief (4/5). Participant’s satisfaction with treatment modalities for ovarian, colorectal, and gastric PC were 6/10, 5/10, and 2/10, respectively. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for ovarian (57%) and colorectal (44%) origins were considered to be useful. Clinical usefulness of chemotherapy for gastric PC was rated to be low (17%). Conclusions Current treatment modalities fall short to satisfy the needs (cure, symptom relief) of patients with PC. Alternative systemic and intraperitoneal treatment modalities should be assessed.

Long term survival in patients with peritoneal metastasised gastric cancer treated with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC: A multi-institutional cohort from PSOGI. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 47:172-180. [PMID: 33071173 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis (PM) of gastric cancer (GC) is relatively common (17%) and is associated with poor survival. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is still controversially discussed, as it has proven an increase in survival in selected patients, but only a small subgroup reached long-term survival. The aim of this study was to collect and analyse a worldwide cohort of patients treated with CRS and HIPEC with long-term survival in order to explore relevant patient characteristics. METHODS We conducted a questionnaire, which was distributed to all collaborators of the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI). Inclusion criteria were: histopathologic proven PM of GC, treated with CRS and HIPEC, and overall survival >5 years. Patient, tumour, and therapeutic details were collected and analysed. RESULTS From an analysis of 448 patients treated between 1994 and 2014, a total of 28 patients with a mean age of 53.0 years and mean PCI of 3.3 were included. The overall median survival was 11.0 years (min 5.0; max 27.9). The predictors completeness of cytoreduction (CC-0) and PCI<6 were present in 22/28 patients. 12/28 patients developed at a median of 9.6 years tumour recurrence, and was associated with inferior median overall survival compared to patients without recurrence (8.8 years vs. not reached; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Long-term survival and even cure are possible in patients with PM of GC treated with CRS and HIPEC. Completeness of cytoreduction and low PCI seemed to be crucial. Further studies are needed in order to improve existing selection criteria.

The importance of primary tumor origin in gastrointestinal malignancies undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. World J Surg Oncol 2020; 18:182. [PMID: 32703239 PMCID: PMC7379772 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-020-01938-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Appendiceal and colorectal cancers with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) can derive benefit from cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). However, its role in gastric and small bowel malignancies remains undefined. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 251 gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas with PC which underwent CRS/HIPEC at our institution from 2007 to 2017. We compared outcomes of gastric, small bowel, appendiceal, and colorectal cohorts. Results Thirty-one gastric, 8 small bowel, 91 appendiceal, and 121 colorectal cohorts were included. More gastric cancers (90%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy than any other cohort, p = 0.002. Although colorectal had the lowest peritoneal cancer index (PCI) (9) and appendiceal the highest (16), all cohorts underwent similar rates of organ resection and complete cytoreduction. Length of stay (p = 0.005) and major perioperative morbidity (Clavien III/IV, p = 0.011) were significantly higher in gastric and small bowel. Median overall survival (OS, p < 0.001) was significantly shorter in gastric (13 months) and small bowel (9 months) than in appendiceal (33 months) and colorectal (42 months) cohorts. On multivariate analysis, complete cytoreduction and PCI score were significant predictors of OS, p < 0.05. Conclusions Primary tumor origin significantly affects outcomes after CRS/HIPEC for gastrointestinal malignancies. Though there was a survival benefit in appendiceal and colorectal, gastric and small bowel survival was comparable to systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of gastric cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis (GCPC) remains poor despite recent advances in systemic chemotherapy (SC) with an average survival less than 6 months. Current evidence supporting the utility of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with SC for GCPC is limited. We plan to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the comparative effects and safety of HIPEC combined with SC in the management of GCPC. METHODS Randomized controlled trials evaluating HIPEC combined with SC versus SC as first-line treatment for GCPC will be searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar, from database inception to April 30, 2020. Data on study design, participant characteristics, intervention details, and outcomes will be extracted. Primary outcomes to be assessed are: median progression-free survival; secondary outcomes are: median survival time, 1- year survival rate, 2-year survival rate, objective response rate, and adverse events. Meta-analysis will be performed using RevMan V.5.3 statistical software. Data will be combined with a random effect model. Study quality will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Heterogeneity will be assessed, and if necessary, a subgroup analysis will be performed to explore the source of heterogeneity. RESULTS The results will provide useful information about the effectiveness and safety of HIPEC combined with systemic chemotherapy regimens in patients with gastric cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis. CONCLUSION The findings of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal. THE REGISTRATION NUMBER INPLASY202050006. DOI NUMBER 10.37766/inplasy2020.5.0006.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been associated with improved survival when compared with surgery alone for non-metastatic gastric cancer patients in randomized trials and meta-analyses. However, little evidence is available regarding the use of HIPEC in nonmetastatic patients who are treated with perioperative chemotherapy and radical surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the putative survival benefit of HIPEC in the subgroup of gastric cancer patients treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study that included gastroesophageal junction and gastric cancer patients who were treated with perioperative chemotherapy and curative resection in a single cancer center in the period between 2006 and 2017. In this time period, younger patients with diffuse-type tumors and serosa invasion or positive lymph node disease were often offered an adjuvant HIPEC protocol. This study compared the survival outcomes of these patients to the ones of those who received only perioperative chemotherapy and resection. A 2:1 propensity-score matched analysis for the two groups was also performed, and variables used were postchemotherapy T (ypT) and N (ypN) stages, histology and tumor site. RESULTS The study population comprised 269 subjects, 241 treated with chemotherapy and surgery and 28 who also received HIPEC. The mean age was 59 years old (standard deviation: 12.2) and 60% of all individuals were male. A total gastrectomy was performed in 137 patients and a distal resection in 132, with a D2-lymphadenectomy in 97.4% of the sample. Overall 60-day morbidity and mortality rates were 35.3% and 3.3%, respectively. In the HIPEC group, patients were younger, and more frequently had American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1 to 2 classification, tumors located in the gastric body, had diffuse histology, and ypN+ disease. Overall survival (OS; 5 years) results in the HIPEC and no HIPEC group were 59.5% vs 68.7% (P = .453), and disease-free survival (DFS) ones were 49.5% and 65.8% (P = .060), respectively. In the multivariable Cox regression model, ypT and ypN were independent overall and DFS predictors; also, ASA 3 to 4 classification and diffuse histology were associated with worse OS. In the matched analysis, HIPEC did not improve either overall (53.5% vs 59.5%; P = .517) or DFS (50.0% vs 49.5%; P = .993). CONCLUSION Treatment with HIPEC in patients who received perioperative chemotherapy and a D2-resection did not improve survival outcomes. Both ypT and ypN stages remained as the most important survival predictors in this cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer have a poor prognosis with a median survival of 7 months. A benefit of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) could be shown in several selected patient cohorts but remains controversial. The aim of this study was, to reflect the results of a national German HIPEC registry initiated by the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV). METHODS The DGAV HIPEC registry StuDoQ|Peritoneum documents patients with peritoneal malignancy contributed from 52 hospitals. All consecutive documented patients from 2011 until 2016 (n = 3078) were treated with CRS and HIPEC and were analysed. A total of 315 (10%) suffered from gastric cancer and were analysed. RESULTS A complete data set of 235 patients was available for this study, including 113 male (48.1%) and 122 female (51.9%) patients with a median age of 53.4 years (SD ± 11.9). The median PCI was 8.0 (range 1-30). A complete cytoreduction was achieved in 121 patients (71.6%). Postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grades 3-4) occurred in 40 patients (17%). The median overall survival (OS) time was 13 months. The 5-year survival rate was 6%. According to the PCI from 0-6 (n = 74); 7-15 (n = 70) and 16-39 (n = 24) the median OS differs significantly (18 months vs. 12 months vs. 5 months; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS CRS and HIPEC in selected patients with gastric cancer and peritoneal spread can improve survival when they are treated in centers. An accurate staging and patient selection are of major importance to achieve long-term survival.

Abstract
Rabs have been reported to be involved in the carcinogenesis process and in the progression of cancer. However, it is unclear whether or not Rab9 is associated with the development of cancer. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of Rab9 in the biological functions of gastric cancer cells. The gastric cancer cell lines AGS and MKN45 were transfected with siRNA-Rab9 to block the expression of Rab9. The cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were examined using Cell Count Kit-8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Our data showed that silencing of Rab9 significantly inhibited the viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of AGS and MKN45 cells. Moreover, transfection with siRab9 promoted the rate of apoptosis in AGS and MKN45 cells through regulating the Bcl-2-Bax axis and the Caspase cascade. We also found that silencing of Rab9 inhibited activation of the Akt signaling pathway by downregulating the phosphorylation level of Akt. In conclusion, our data suggest that Rab9 plays an oncogenic role in the progression of gastric cancer, providing a potential target for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastases (PM) of gastric cancer (GC) are characterized by a particularly poor prognosis, with median survival time of 6 months, and virtually no 5-year survival reported. Conversion therapy for GC is defined as a surgical treatment aiming at an R0 resection after systemic chemotherapy for tumours that were originally unresectable (or marginally resectable) for technical and/or oncological reasons. The aim of the present study was to evaluate early and late outcomes in GC patients with PM who underwent the cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after neoadjuvant (conversion) chemotherapy. Thirty patients with stage IV GC underwent CRS plus HIPEC. Severe grade III/IV (Clavien-Dindo classification) complications occurred in 13 (43%) patients. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) ranged from 8.7 to 100 (median, 42.4). In the multivariate survival analysis, ypT2 and P3 (according to the Japanese classification of the PM severity) were favourable and adverse prognostic factors p = 0.031 and o = 0.035, respectively. Estimated 1- and 3-year survival was 73.9% and 36.6%, respectively. The median survival was 19.3 months. Conclusion: Conversion surgery, including extended gastrectomy and multi-organ resections followed by HIPEC performed after systemic chemotherapy therapy for GC with PM is justified in downstaged patients with ypT2 and limited (less than P3) PM.

Abstract
Background: Although gastric carcinoma is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer, optimal treatment of perforated cancer remains debated. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted according to the guidelines from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. An electronic systematic search was conducted using MEDLINE databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science) by matching the terms "perforated gastric cancer," "gastric cancer perforated," "perforation AND gastric cancer," and "perforated gastric tumor." Results: Fifteen studies published between 1995 and 2018 and including 964 patients matched the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. There were 4 publications from Japan, 3 from Turkey, and 1 from China, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Nepal, Serbia, South Korea, and Taiwan, respectively. The sample size of the individual studies ranged from 8 to 514 patients. Perforated gastric carcinoma was rare and more prevalent in elderly males, preoperative diagnosis was uncommon, and the distal stomach was most frequently involved. Mortality was 11.4% and 1.9%, respectively, in one-stage versus two-stage gastrectomy (P = .010). Curative treatment by omental patch repair and staged gastrectomy yielded acceptable 5-year survival rates. There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate and pattern between perforated and nonperforated gastric cancer if a curative operation was performed. Use of laparoscopy was mentioned only in one study. Conclusions: Future studies should evaluate the role of laparoscopic surgery and clarify the indications for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and extensive peritoneal lavage protocols to decrease gastric cancer cell shed in the surgical field and increase long-term survival.

Abstract
Despite decreasing incidence, gastric cancer remains a major health problem worldwide and is associated with poor survival. The poor survival is mainly attributed to delayed presentation which may cause local or systemic metastases. The standard of care for patients with metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) is palliative chemotherapy with best supportive care. Although the survival has improved owing to advances in chemotherapeutic agents, it is still unsatisfactory, and some perspective changes are needed in the management of MGC to improve the outcomes. Therefore, various alternative treatment strategies for MGC have formed the most important research topics. Liver-directed treatment (LDT) options such as liver resection, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) have been studied in the management of liver metastasis from gastric cancer (LMGC). Intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) in addition to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) aiming to remove all macroscopic tumor focus resulting from peritoneal dissemination is the treatment option for peritoneal metastasis, while para-aortic lymph node dissection is the treatment option for para-aortic lymph node metastasis which is considered to be M1 disease. Conversion surgery is a novel concept aiming at R0 resection for originally unresectable or marginally resectable tumors after a remarkably good response to the chemotherapy. Large amounts of data in the literature have demonstrated the benefits of individualized approaches such as the combination of systemic and local treatment options in selected patient groups. In this review, we aimed to explore the current and future treatment options by reviewing the literature on this controversial topic.

Abstract
Recent advances in locoregional chemotherapy have opened the door to new approaches for the clinical management of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) by facilitating the delivery of anti-neoplastic agents directly to the tumor site, while mitigating adverse effects typically associated with systemic administration. In particular, an innovative intra-abdominal chemotherapeutic approach, known as Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC), was recently introduced to the intraperitoneal (IP) therapy regimens as a palliative therapeutic option in patients with PC, presumably providing a better drug distribution pattern together with deeper drug penetration into tumor nodules within the peritoneal space. Furthermore, the progress of nanotechnology in the past few decades has prompted the application of different nanomaterials in IP cancer therapy, offering new possibilities in this field ranging from an extended retention time to sustained drug release in the peritoneal cavity. This review highlights the progress, challenges, and opportunities in utilizing cancer nanotherapeutics for locoregional drug delivery, with a special emphasis on the aerosolization approach for intraperitoneal therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 17% of all patients with gastric cancer are diagnosed with the presence of peritoneal metastases, which is associated with a poor prognosis. The most promising results were shown with multimodal treatment regimens including systemic chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS). A subsequent hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).possibly has a positive effect and is currently being tested. OBJECTIVES This manuscript highlights the key role of CRS and HIPEC in patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer and illustrates which patients benefit from this intensive therapy. METHODS We performed a comprehensive review of the literature to demonstrate relevant aspects in the treatment of peritoneal metastases in gastric cancer. RESULTS The use of CRS and HIPEC improves the overall survival to 11 months compared to best supportive care in selected patients. Patients who present with low volume peritoneal disease (peritoneal cancer index ≤6) have the best prognosis. This intensive treatment is associated with a relatively high morbidity (15-50%) and mortality (1-10%). Complete cytoreduction, i.e. a complete macroscopic absence of tumor tissue after resection is the most important prognostic factor. CONCLUSION The CRS and HIPEC procedures have a proven survival benefit in selected patients. Due to the relatively high morbidity and mortality, the evaluation should be performed by an experienced team including a surgical oncologist, medical oncologist and intensive care physician, to achieve the highest rate of complete cytoreduction in combination with low morbidity; however, the effect of HIPEC has to be proven and the results of the randomized GASTRIPEC trial are awaited.

Abstract
Multiple studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs extensively participate in human cancer proliferation and metastasis. Epigenetic modification, transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms are involved in lncRNA-led tumorigenesis and transfer. Recently, a novel identified homeobox (HOX) A11 antisense lncRNA, HOXA11-AS, 1,628 bp in length, has been excessively highlighted to be an essential initiator and facilitator in the process of malignant tumor proliferation and metastasis. As found in many reports, HOXA11-AS can not only act as a molecular scaffold of PRC2, LSD1 and DNMT1 to epigenetically modify chromosomes in the nucleus but also occur as ceRNA competitively sponging miRNAs in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, HOXA11-AS may function as a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this review, we summarize the evolvement and mechanisms of HOXA11-AS in proliferation and metastasis of various human cancers.

Abstract
Treatment options to gastric cancer (GC) have been changing in recent years from a standard to a tailored approach. Different individualized procedures can range from endoscopic resection, D2 with open or minimally invasive approach, to neo-adjuvant therapy followed by extended surgery. In more advanced stages, a combined approach with the inclusion of intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia (HIPEC) may represent a new advanced option. The inclusion of histological type according to Laurén classification in the flowchart of treatment could increase both accuracy and effectiveness of such tailored approach. New molecular classifications of GC have been introduced recently and translational clinical studies are ongoing. These classifications are expected to be included in multidisciplinary treatment of GC. In particular, in the group with microsatellite instability a less extended lymphadenectomy may be proposed. Also tailored neo-adjuvant treatment may be proposed according to molecular classifications. The group of patients with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition shows very high propensity to peritoneal dissemination, as well as N-metastases, and may benefit from prophylactic HIPEC and extended lymphadenectomy when confirmed in prospective trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Patients with advanced gastric cancer and positive peritoneal cytology and/or peritoneal dissemination are deemed to be incurable and to hold dismal prognosis. So far, the only treatment option for these patients has been palliative systemic (chemo)therapy. However, for the last three decades, great progress has been made in attempts to treat (potential) peritoneal dissemination by means of complete cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after preoperative systemic therapy. This review is focused on the recent achievements of this multimodal strategy. Additionally, the review stands as background for the 4th International Conference “Advances in Surgical Oncology” that was held at the Medical University of Lublin (Poland) in November 2017, and dedicated to cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC for advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
The incidence of synchronous or metachronous peritoneal metastases (PM) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer is high, and associated with a poor prognosis. The recommended therapeutic option for these patients is systemic chemotherapy and leads to a median of 7-8 months. However, new approaches like cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy might help to improve the median survival in selected patients.
Indications, patient selection and the choice of the chemotherapeutic agent are described in this manuscript, as well as an overview of the most recent literature about this topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our experience regarding cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was reviewed in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis (SPC) and metachronous peritoneal carcinomatosis (MPC) from gastric cancer (GC). METHODS An analysis of prospectively collected data about patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC from July 2011 to July 2016 was carried out. Patients and tumor characteristics were taken into consideration together with pre and post-operative data. The outcomes concerned OS and DFS in both groups. RESULTS A total of 17 cases were reported. All patients of SPC group underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, while all patients of MPC group underwent adjuvant chemotherapy subsequently to surgery of the primary tumor. The mean follow up period was 9 months (SD±9.5). Thirteen patients (76.5%) had SPC and four (23.5%) had MPC. The mean total Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) was 8.5 (SD±8.4). The mean PCI was 3.75 (SD±4.9) for SPC group and 16 (SD±9.5) for MPC (P=0.003). HIPEC regimen was cisplatin plus paclitaxel for fourteen patients (82.4%) and cisplatin plus mitomycin-C (MMC) for three patients (17.6%). OS was 16 months and 6 months respectively in patients with SPC and MPC (P=0.189). DFS was 11 months and 2 months respectively in the two groups (P=0.156). Patients with SPC patients and PCI ≥12 were significantly different in terms of DFS from SPC with PCI <12 (P=0.001). Overall, twelve patients had postoperative major complications (CTCAE>2), in particular eight (61%) in SPC group while four (100%) in MPC group. Our study showed significantly better DFS for patients aged >60 years (P=0.016). CONCLUSIONS HIPEC and CRS with cisplatin and paclitaxel in patients with PC from GC showed promising results in improving the DFS and the OS, particularly for patients with PCI <12 and for those aged >60. Although a high incidence of complications was revealed, especially in MPC group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing use of laparoscopic surgery for advanced gastrointestinal cancer raises concerns about intra-peritoneal tumor spread. Prevention of peritoneal dissemination is extremely important but a preventive modality is lacking. The aim of this study was to examine a novel approach (hyperthermic CO2 insufflation, HT-CO2) for preventing peritoneal dissemination during laparoscopic surgery. METHODS A peritoneal dissemination model was established in Balb/c nu/nu mice by intraperitoneal injection of human colon cancer cells (SW1116, 1×106). The mice (n = 48) were subsequently randomized into two groups and subjected to hyperthermic CO2 (43°C, >95% humidity, HT-CO2 group) or standard normothermic CO2 (21°C, <1% relative humidity, NT-CO2 group) insufflation for 3 hours. The mice were sacrificed 28 days later. The peritoneal dissemination was quantitatively analyzed by counting and weighing the peritoneal nodules. The port sites and ascites volume were measured. The peritoneal damage of HT-CO2 was histologically examined with light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Intra-abdominal adhesions were evaluated 4 weeks later. RESULTS The number of peritoneal nodules in the HT-CO2 group was significantly less than that in the NT-CO2 group (10.21±3.72 vs. 67.12±5.49, P<0.01). The mean weight of metastatic tumors in the HT-CO2 group was significantly lower than that in the NT-CO2 group (0.31±0.10g vs. 2.16±0.31g, P<0.01). Massive ascites were found in the NT-CO2 group while significantly less ascites developed in HT-CO2- treated mice (8.26±0.31ml vs. 1.27±0.28ml, P<0.01). No port-site metastases were detected in the HT-CO2 group while the incidence of the NT-CO2 group was 12.5% (3/24). HT-CO2 subjection resulted in slight peritoneal damage; the peritoneum returned to normal within five days. No adhesions formed after HT-CO2 treatment. CONCLUSIONS HT-CO2 can suppress peritoneal dissemination of colon cancer cells and only causes slight and transient peritoneal damage. HT-CO2 may serve as a promising adjuvant treatment for preventing peritoneal dissemination in laparoscopic resection of advanced colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Peritoneal dissemination is the most common condition of metastasis in gastric cancer. The survival duration of a patient with advanced stage gastric cancer, may be improved by gene therapy. In this study, we used an oncolytic adenovirus vector (Ad/TRAIL-E1) that expresses both the TRAIL and E1A genes under the control of a tumor-specific promoter. We evaluated the anti-tumor effect of Ad/TRAIL-E1 on gastric cancer cells in vitro, as well as in vivo in a xenograft peritoneal carcinomatosis mouse model. Our data showed that Ad/TRAIL-E1 induced TRAIL-mediated apoptosis in gastric cancer cell lines, but not in the normal cell lines. In addition, Ad/TRAIL-E1 significantly inhibited peritoneal metastasis and prolonged the survival of mice without treatment-related toxicity. Therefore, tumor-specific TRAIL expression from an oncolytic adenovirus vector may provide a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of advance stage gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis is common after curative resection of gastric cancer. Intraperitoneal administration of paclitaxel (PTX) is known to control ovarian peritoneal metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with either linitis plastica or T4 cancer with high risk of peritoneal metastasis or recurrence but whose cancer was considered resectable were preregistered. After their cancer had been confirmed intraoperatively as resectable, the patients were randomized into either group A (PTX at 60 mg/m2 intraperitoneally on the day of surgery and on days 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, and 56) or group B (PTX at 80 mg/m2 administered intravenously by the identical schedule) before being treated by evidence-based chemotherapy. The primary end point was the 2-year survival rate. Safety, the secondary end point, was also analyzed. The study has been registered as UMIN000002957. RESULTS Of 177 preregistered patients, 83 underwent treatment (39 by intraperitoneal administration and 44 by intravenous administration). There was no difference in patient demographics between the two groups. The incidences of surgical complications were similar between the groups, except for transient bowel obstruction observed exclusively in group A. The relative dose intensity of PTX was 81.4 % for group A and 76.3 % for group B. There was one death due to pulmonary thrombosis and a case of anaphylaxis that led to termination of the protocol treatment (group B). Other adverse events were mild and manageable. CONCLUSIONS Intraperitoneal administration of PTX from the day of gastrectomy did not result in a higher incidence of surgical complications and adverse reactions when compared with intravenous administration of PTX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is increasingly used to prevent or treat peritoneal metastases (PM) in selected indications. The objective of this article was to review published, recruiting or planned randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating CRS and HIPEC versus standard of care. Comparator was systemic chemotherapy and/or CRS alone. CONTENT Systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines. Electronic searches for published RCT using PubMed (from 1980 to November 2016) and for ongoing RCT in the United States and European clinical databases (until November 2016). Current update on ongoing trials from the 10th PSOGI meeting in November 2016 in Washington DC. Fourteen RCTs on CRS and HIPEC were excluded for various reasons. SUMMARY Thirty-eight trials designed for randomizing 7,303 patients were identified: 11 in colorectal cancer (6 for prevention of PM, n=1,107 patients; 5 for therapy, n=781), 10 in ovarian cancer (5 in frontline therapy, n=438 patients; 5 for treating recurrence, n=1,062) and 17 in gastric cancer (14 for prevention of PM, n=3,659 patients; 3 for therapy, n=256). Results of 9 RCTs have been published: 1 in colorectal cancer (105 patients), 1 in ovarian cancer (130 patients) and 7 in gastric cancer (together 669 patients). Five RCTs have completed recruitment and follow-up is ongoing. There is a clear trend in recent trial design from therapeutic to preventive indications. OUTLOOK The number of published RCT evaluating CRS and HIPEC in prevention or therapy of PM is relatively small. There is some evidence that CRS and HIPEC improve survival in recurrent colorectal origin, evidence in ovarian and gastric cancer remains debated. A large number of studies is ongoing that might deliver additional evidence. Trial design and interpretation of results remain difficult because of multiple methodological challenges.

Abstract
AIM Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) is the treatment regime most likely to achieve prolonged survival in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastroenteric cancer. To date, few publications have focused on the treatment of patients with gastric cancer alone. Several controversies remain unsolved, including the safety and effectiveness of the CRS-HIPEC combination regime, particularly in cases where HIPEC is used as adjuvant treatment after CRS. Therefore, in the current study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CRS combined with HIPEC in patients with gastric cancer. METHOD Data from 231 patients with a median age of 55.1 years treated with the CRS-HIPEC combination regime between January 2009 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent the combination therapy (mean of 2.4 cycles per patient, range, 1 to 4 cycles). RESULTS Median overall survival was 37.0 months, with 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates recorded as 83.4%, 68.5%, and 38.7%, respectively. The serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) were significantly decreased after combination therapy in the completeness of cytoreduction (CCR)-0 and CCR-1 groups, while no significant changes observed in marker levels were observed in the CC ≥2 group. The post-operative morbidity and mortality rates were 6.9% and 0.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed low TNM tumour stage, ascites condition and CCR score as independent predictors for better survival. CONCLUSION In view of the acceptable morbidity and mortality rates we propose that CRS combined with HIPEC presents an effective and safe treatment modality for patients with gastric cancer, especially in cases where optimal cytoreduction is achieved before the HIPEC procedure.

Survival outcomes after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer: a systematic review. Pleura Peritoneum 2016; 1:67-77.

Abstract
Background: The current treatment of choice for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer is systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a new aggressive form of loco-regional treatment that is currently being used in pseudomyxoma peritoneii, peritoneal mesothelioma and peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. It is still under investigation for its use in gastric cancer. Methods: The literature between 1970 and 2016 was surveyed systematically through a review of published studies on the treatment outcomes of CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review. The median survival for all patients ranged from 6.6 to 15.8 months. The 5-years overall survival ranged from 6 to 31%. For patients with complete cytoreduction, the median survival was 11.2 to 43.4 months and the 5-years overall survival was 13 % to 23%. Important prognostic factors were found to be a low peritoneal carcarcinomatosis index (PCI) score and the completeness of cytoreduction. Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that CRS and HIPEC has a role to play in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. Long term survival has been shown for a select group of patients. However, further studies are needed to validate these results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The most common cause of tumour progression in advanced gastric cancer is peritoneal carcinosis (PC). The necessity to increase the survival in advanced diseases suggested to deliver the chemotherapy directly in the peritoneal cavity also in Cy+/PC- and to experiment the effect of massive peritoneal lavage to wash out the tumour cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the gain in term of survival and peritoneal recurrence rate of the intraperitoneal chemotherapy and/or peritoneal lavage in patients with Cy+/PC-. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review with meta-analysis of trials about the effect of intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) and/or peritoneal lavage (PL) on positive cytology in gastric cancer without carcinosis. RESULTS Three trials have been included (164 patients: 76 received surgery alone, 51 surgery + IPC and 37 surgery + IPC + PL). Two- and five-years survival is increased by IPC (RR = 1.62, RR = 3.10). 2 and 5 years survival is further increased by IPC + PL (RR = 2.33, RR = 6.19). Peritoneal recurrence is reduced by IPC (OR = 0.45) and by IPC + PL (OR = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS Two- and five-years overall survival in patients with free cancer cells without carcinosis is incremented by intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Peritoneal lavage further increases these survival rates and also it further decreases the peritoneal recurrence rate.

Abstract
Peritoneal dissemination is the most frequent metastasis in gastric cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. The lack of particular target antigens in gastric cancer other than HER2 has hampered the development of treatments for peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer. We hypothesized that HER2-extracellular domain (HER2-ECD) gene transduction combined with trastuzumab-based photoimmunotherapy (PIT) might provide excellent and selective antitumor effects for peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer. In vitro, adenovirus/HER2-ECD (Ad/HER2-ECD) efficiently transduced HER2-ECD into HER2-negative gastric cancer cells. Trastuzumab-IR700 (Tra-IR700)-mediated PIT induced selective cell death of HER2-ECD-transduced tumor cells. Ad/HER2-ECD also induced homogenous expression of HER2 in heterogeneous gastric cancer cells, resulting in uniform sensitivity of the cells to Tra-IR700-mediated PIT. Anti-HER2 PIT integrated with adenoviral HER2-ECD gene transfer was applied in mice bearing peritoneal dissemination of HER2-negative gastric cancer. Intraperitoneal administration of Ad/HER2-ECD and Tra-IR700 with PIT inhibited peritoneal metastasis and prolonged the survival of mice bearing MKN45. Furthermore, minimal side effects allowed the integrated therapy to be used repeatedly, providing better control of peritoneal dissemination. In conclusion, the novel therapy of molecular-targeted PIT integrated with gene transfer technology is a promising approach for the treatment of peritoneal dissemination in gastric cancer.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and gene copy number have been observed to be associated with a positive clinical response to EGFR inhibitors. The present study aimed to evaluate EGFR expression and gene copy number in samples of gastric carcinoma (GC) from Chinese patients. EGFR expression and gene copy number were detected using immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization, in tissue array slides containing 150 individual samples of GC tissue. The association between EGFR status, clinicopathological features and overall patient survival was analyzed. Out of the 150 cases of GC evaluated, 63 (42.00%) demonstrated weak EGFR expression and 20 (13.33%) demonstrated EGFR overexpression. EGFR expression was observed to be associated with tumor location (P<0.05). Out of 104 cases of GC, which produced a clear FISH signal, 6 (5.77%) exhibited EGFR gene amplification and 5 (4.80%) exhibited balanced polysomy. Patients exhibiting GC, who demonstrated weak EGFR expression, EGFR overexpression or increased EGFR gene copy number, possessed an unfavorable prognosis. Multivariate analysis revealed that EGFR expression, tumor/node/metastasis stage and tumor location were potential independent unfavorable prognostic factors for GC patients. In conclusion, EGFR overexpression, gene amplification and polysomy were observed in GC patients and were associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Evaluation of EGFR status may therefore facilitate the identification of a subset of GC patients sensitive to treatment with EGFR-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Gastric cancer associated peritoneal carcinomatosis (GCPC) has a poor prognosis with a median survival of less than one year. Systemic chemotherapy including targeted agents has not been found to significantly increase the survival in GCPC. Since recurrent gastric cancer remains confined to the abdominal cavity in many patients, regional therapies like aggressive cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been investigated for GCPC. HIPEC has been used for three indications in GC- as an adjuvant therapy after a curative surgery, HIPEC has been shown to improve survival and reduce peritoneal recurrences in many randomised trials in Asian countries; as a definitive treatment in established PC, HIPEC along with CRS is the only therapeutic modality that has resulted in long-term survival in select groups of patients; as a palliative treatment in advanced PC with intractable ascites, HIPEC has been shown to control ascites and reduce the need for frequent paracentesis. While the results of randomised trials of adjuvant HIPEC from western centres are awaited, the role of HIPEC in the treatment of GCPC is still evolving and needs larger studies before it is accepted as a standard of care.

Abstract
For a long time, treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM) was mostly palliative and thus, this status was link with “terminal status/despair”. The current multimodal treatment strategy, consisting of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has been strenuously achieved over time, but seems to be the best treatment option for PM patients. As we reviewed the literature data, we could emphasize some milestones and also, controversies in the history of proposed multimodal treatment and thus, outline the philosophy of this approach, which seems to be an unusual one indeed. Initially marked by nihilism and fear, but benefiting from a remarkable joint effort of human and material resources (multi-center and -institutional research), over a period of 30 years, CRS and HIPEC found their place in the treatment of PM. The next 4 years were dedicated to the refinement of the multimodal treatment, by launching research pathways. In selected patients, with requires training, it demonstrated a significant survival results (similar to the Hepatic Metastases treatment), with acceptable risks and costs. The main debates regarding CRS and HIPEC treatment were based on the oncologists’ perspective and the small number of randomized clinical trials. It is important to statement the PM patient has the right to be informed of the existence of CRS and HIPEC, as a real treatment resource, the decision being made by multidisciplinary teams.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis is an unmet therapeutic need. Several types of intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been introduced. However, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has limited drug distribution and poor peritoneal penetration. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) does not have the benefits of hyperthermia. We developed a device to apply hyperthermic PIPAC (H-PAC) and evaluated its feasibility in a porcine model. METHODS The device for H-PAC consisted of a laparoscopic aerosol spray and a heater to create hyperthermic capnoperitoneum. We operated on five pigs for the development of the new device and on another five pigs as a survival model. After a pilot experiment of the survival model (Pig A), a hyperthermic pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol of indocyanine green was administered after insertion of three trocars (Pig B) and laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) (Pig C) without chemotherapeutic agents. After that, H-PAC with cisplatin was administered after insertion of three trocars (Pig D) and LADG (Pig E). Autopsies were performed on postoperative day 7. RESULTS Median operation time was 85 min (80-110 min). Intraperitoneal temperature was constant for 1 h of H-PAC (38.8-40.2 °C). All five pigs were healthy and survived for 7 days. Median weight loss was 0.2 kg. Autopsy tissues of stomach, peritoneum, and jejunum were intact in all five pigs. CONCLUSIONS H-PAC was feasible and safe in a porcine model.

Abstract
In general, detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) occurs at the late stage when there is no treatment option. In the present study, we designed novel drug delivery systems that are functionalized with anti-CD133 antibodies. The C1, C2 and C3 complexes with cisplatin were introduced into nanotubes, either physically or chemically. The complexes were reacted with anti-CD133 antibody to form the labeled product of A0-o-CX-chem-CD133. Cytotoxicity screening of all the complexes was performed on CHO cells. Data showed that both C2 and C3 Pt-complexes are more cytotoxic than C1. Flow-cytometry analysis showed that nanotubes conjugated to CD133 antibody have the ability to target cells expressing the CD133 antigen which is responsible for the emergence of resistance to chemotherapy and disease recurrence. The shortest survival rate was observed in the control mice group (K3) where no hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy procedures were used. On the other hand, the longest median survival rate was observed in the group treated with A0-o-C1-chem-CD133. In summary, we designed a novel drug delivery system based on carbon nanotubes loaded with Pt-prodrugs and functionalized with anti-CD133 antibodies. Our data demonstrates the effectiveness of the new drug delivery system and provides a novel therapeutic modality in the treatment of melanoma.

There is no consensus treatment strategy for CY1-gastric cancer, and the detailed clinicopathological features remain obscure. PATIENTS AND METHODS Among 790 gastric cancer patients between 2005 and 2009, 52 cases of CY1 were identified (6.6%). A multivariate prognostic model was applied to the univariate prognostic factors to identify independent prognostic factors and factors associated with long-term survival in CY1-gastric cancer. RESULTS (1) Five-year overall survival (OS) was 17.6% in CY1-gastric cancer as compared with 93.9% in CYX and 77.7% in CY0 (77.7%), where tumors with pT2 or beyond were included in 11% of CYX, 73% of CY0, and 98% of CY1 cases. (2) On univariate analysis, factors associated with a negative prognosis were the presence of peritoneal dissemination (p = 0.029) and high preoperative serum albumin (p = 0.011) in CY1-gastric cancer. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression model using propensity score identified preoperative albumin as a critical independent prognostic indicator. (3) Long-term survivors were identified and, were often characterized by long-term postoperative adjuvant treatment. CONCLUSION Reduced preoperative serum albumin and absence of peritoneal dissemination may be predictive factors for long-term survival in patients with advanced gastric cancer with positive cytology test. Long-term postoperative adjuvant therapy might improve survival of patients with CY1.

Abstract
The incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is decreasing worldwide, especially for intestinal histotype of the distal third of the stomach. On the contrary, proximal location and diffuse Lauren histotype have been reported to be generally stable over time. In the west, no clear improvement in long-term results was observed in clinical and population-based studies. Results of treatment in these neoplasms are strictly dependent on tumor stage. Adequate surgery and extended lymphadenectomy are associated with good long-term outcome in early-stage cancer; however, results are still unsatisfactory for advanced stages (III and IV), for which additional treatments could provide a survival benefit. This implies a tailored approach to GC. The aim of this review was to summarize the main multimodal treatment options in advanced resectable GC. Perioperative or postoperative treatments, including chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, targeted therapies, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been reviewed, and the main ongoing and completed trials have been analyzed. An original tailored multimodal approach to non-cardia GC has been also proposed.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the functional impact of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) on the gastrointestinal system by oral gastrografin radiography (OGR). OGR was performed on 105 patients with PC from abdominal malignancies. The OGR characteristics were analyzed and compared with intraoperative observations. OGR provided real-time dynamic information on the functional impacts of PC. The OGR findings were normal in 9 (8.6%) and abnormal in 96 (91.4%) cases. In terms of frequency, 33 cases (31.4%) exhibited mild intestinal aggregation and flattening of the intestinal mucosa; 29 cases (27.6%) exhibited limited intestinal invasion, marginally stenotic small bowel and mucosal deformities; 26 cases (24.8%) exhibited only mild mesenteric contracture and mild slowing of gastrointestinal peristalsis; 5 cases (4.8%) exhibited obvious mesenteric contracture, ball-like changes, fixed position and disappearance of the intestinal mucosa; 2 cases (1.9%) exhibited complete pyloric obstruction; and 1 case (0.9%) exhibited duodenal obstruction. Gastric PC was associated with a higher percentage of stomach filling defects and small intestinal aggregates compared with PC from other malignancies (P<0.01 for both). In 87 cases, the ORG findings were in accordance with the intraoperative findings (κ=0.726, P<0.001), whereas 17 cases (16.2%) were underestimated and 1 (0.9%) was overestimated by OGR. This study indicated that OGR may be a useful technique for the evaluation of the functional impacts of PC on the gastrointestinal system and may help optimize the selection of patients for treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The completeness of cytoreduction has been considerated as fundamental in increasing the life expectancy in patients with peritoneal carcinosis (PC) in gastric cancer. However no definitive data about the real effect of complete cytoreduction (CC) have still been published. Moreover the PCI cut-off to attempt CC with a reasonable risk-benefit ratio still lacks. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review with meta-analysis of trials of complete vs incomplete cytoreduction in patients with peritoneal carcinosis from GC was performed. RESULTS Nine trials have been included (748 patients: 417 with CC0-CC1 and 324 with CC2-CC3 cytoreduction). 1, 2, 3 and 5 years survival is favorable to CC0-CC1 (Risk Ratio: 2.41, 8.18, 8.66, and 7.96 respectively). CC0 vs. CC1 survival benefit at 1 and 3 years: RR 2.28 and 6.36 respectively, favoring CC0. 1, 2, 3 and 5 years survival changes significantly above and below a PCI of 12. CONCLUSIONS 1, 2, 3 and 5-year overall survival is increased by CC0-CC1 cytoreduction in patients with PC from gastric origin. Moreover CC0 increases the 1 and 3 years survival when compared to CC1 cytoreduction.

Abstract
The dormancy of tumor cells is a major problem in chemotherapy, since it limits the therapeutic efficacy of anti-tumor drugs that only target dividing cells. One potential way to overcome chemo-resistance is to “wake up” these dormant cells. Here we show that the opioid antagonist methylnaltrexone (MNTX) enhances the effect of docetaxel (Doc) by blocking a cell growth-suppressive pathway. We found that PENK, which encodes opioid growth factor (OGF) and suppresses cell growth, is predominantly expressed in diffuse-type gastric cancers (GCs). The blockade of OGF signaling by MNTX releases cells from their arrest and boosts the effect of Doc. In comparison with the use of Doc alone, the combined use of Doc and MNTX significantly prolongs survival, alleviates abdominal pain, and diminishes Doc-resistant spheroids on the peritoneal membrane in model mice. These results suggest that blockade of the pathways that suppress cell growth may enhance the effects of anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
Gastric cancer remains a significant health problem worldwide and surgery is currently the only potentially curative treatment option. Gastric cancer surgery is generally considered to be high risk surgery and five-year survival rates are poor, therefore a continuous strive to improve outcomes for these patients is warranted. Fortunately, in the last decades several potential advances have been introduced that intervene at various stages of the treatment process. This review provides an overview of methods implemented in pre-, intra- and postoperative stage of gastric cancer surgery to improve outcome. Better preoperative risk assessment using comorbidity index (e.g., Charlson comorbidity index), assessment of nutritional status (e.g., short nutritional assessment questionnaire, nutritional risk screening - 2002) and frailty assessment (Groningen frailty indicator, Edmonton frail scale, Hopkins frailty) was introduced. Also preoperative optimization of patients using prehabilitation has future potential. Implementation of fast-track or enhanced recovery after surgery programs is showing promising results, although future studies have to determine what the exact optimal strategy is. Introduction of laparoscopic surgery has shown improvement of results as well as optimization of lymph node dissection. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has not shown to be beneficial in peritoneal metastatic disease thus far. Advances in postoperative care include optimal timing of oral diet, which has been shown to reduce hospital stay. In general, hospital volume, i.e., centralization, and clinical audits might further improve the outcome in gastric cancer surgery. In conclusion, progress has been made in improving the surgical treatment of gastric cancer. However, gastric cancer treatment is high risk surgery and many areas for future research remain.

Abstract
Global economies and their health systems face a huge challenge from cancer: 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will develop cancer in their lifetime. In the less developed countries, the volume of cancer patients will overwhelm the existing healthcare systems. Even in developed regions, patients with upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer usually present with locally advanced tumors that their prognosis is poor. A detailed knowledge of anatomy, embryology, epidemiology, tumor classifications and tumor growth is key understanding and evaluating the relevant research. We review undervalued criteria necessary to evaluate the response to multimodal therapy for upper GI cancers.
