RESUMO
The ideal surgical approach for treating cardia gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is not clearly established. This study aimed to assess the long-term survival results among patients who received endoscopic therapy (ET) or surgical resection (SR) for cardia GIST. Cardia GIST patients from 2000 to 2019 were selected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end result (SEER) database. Multiple imputation (MI) was applied to handle missing data, and propensity score matching (PSM) was carried out to mitigate selection bias during comparisons. Demographic and clinical characteristics' effects on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analyses and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. A total of 330 patients with cardia GIST were enrolled, including 47 (14.2%) patients with ET and 283 (85.8%) patients with SR. The 5-year OS and CSS rates in the ET and SR groups were comparable [before PSM, (OS) (76.1% vs. 81.2%, P = 0.722), (CSS) (95.0% vs. 89.3%, P = 0.186); after PSM, (OS) (75.4% vs. 85.4%, P = 0.540), (CSS) (94.9% vs. 92.0%, P = 0.099)]. Moreover, there was no significant difference between ET and SR in terms of long-term OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.735, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.422-1.282) and CSS (HR 1.560, 95% CI 0.543-4.481). Our study found no significant disparity in long-term survival outcomes between ET and SR in cardia GIST patients, implying that ET could be a valid surgical strategy for treating cardia GIST.

A 55-year-old man came to our hospital for a colonoscopy due to periumbilical paroxysmal pain. The colonoscopy showed a huge mass near the ascending colon, with necrosis on the surface and unclear basal boundary. The structure of the residual and basal mucosa of the mass was similar to the normal intestinal mucosa. The biopsy pathology showed inflammatory cells infiltration. The patient underwent an appendectomy 30 years ago. In order to further clarify the nature of this mass, an abdominal enhanced computerized tomography (CT) was arranged for him. The CT showed segmental thickening of the ascending colon and "concentric circles" in the ileocecal part, which were consistent with intussusception like change. Then, we arranged a surgery for him. The intraoperative exploration revealed that the mass was located in the ileocecal part, about 5cm*4cm*3cm in size, soft in texture, and the intestinal tube was mildly edema. After opening the specimen, we found that the appendiceal stump had intratussed into the cecum and forming the granulomatous new tissue. Postoperative pathology showed proliferation of submucosal adipose tissue and granulation tissue, and infiltration of inflammatory cells with necrosis.
RESUMO
A 37-year-old patient presented to our hospital for upper endoscopy with upper abdominal pain for 10 days. The gastroscopy showed food retention, a large ulcer from the corner of the stomach to the stomach body was seen, the bottom was obviously depressed, the surface was covered by white moss, and the edge of the ulcer presented as a "auricular" sign (Ear-shape appearance). Pathology showed malignant lymphoma. One and a half years prior, the patient underwent a gastroscopy at our hospital. At that time, the gastroscopy showed a large number of nodular protrusions in the gastric antrum, gastric angle, and some parts of the gastric body, presenting a "chicken skin like" change. At the same time, a superficial ulcer lesion was visible in the gastric angle. Pathology suggested gastritis and a small amount of necrotic tissue, as well as proliferation of lymphoid follicles. After receiving the treatment to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (HP), the patient's symptoms significantly improved and no further follow-up was conducted.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Small intestinal stromal tumors (SISTs) are a rare type of mesenchymal tumor. Gender is known to influence the incidence and prognosis of various tumors, but its role on the survival of SISTs at the population level remains unclear. Therefore, we aim to explore the relationship between gender and the prognosis of SISTs using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS: Data on SISTs patients from 2000 to 2019 were derived from the SEER database. Multiple imputation was used to address missing data. Kaplan-Meier analyses and Cox proportional hazard models were applied to evaluate the impact of demographic and clinical characteristics on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS: A total of 3513 patients with SISTs were analyzed, including 1921 males and 1592 females. Kaplan-Meier analysis coupled with log-rank testing demonstrated a significantly higher mortality rate among male patients compared to females (P < 0.001). Notably, female patients exhibited superior OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.808, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.724-0.902, P < 0.001) and CSS (HR 0.801, 95% CI 0.692-0.927, P = 0.003) compared to male patients. While the mean 1-year CSS rates were comparable between genders (95.3% for males vs. 96.0% for females, P = 0.332), male patients consistently showed lower mean survival rates at 3-, 5-, and 10-year intervals. Surgical intervention significantly boosted 5-year OS and CSS rates in both male and female patients (P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified age, sex, grade, TNM stage, surgery, and mitotic rate as independent risk factors for OS and CSS in patients with SISTs. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that male patients with SISTs have a higher risk of mortality compared to female patients, indicating that gender may serve as a predictive indicator for survival in this patient population.

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) radiomics combined with deep transfer learning was used to identify cholesterol and adenomatous gallbladder polyps that have not been well evaluated before surgery. PURPOSE: To investigate the potential of various machine learning models, incorporating radiomics and deep transfer learning, in predicting the nature of cholesterol and adenomatous gallbladder polyps. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical and imaging data from 100 patients with cholesterol or adenomatous polyps confirmed by surgery and pathology at our hospital between September 2015 and February 2023. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT radiomics combined with deep learning features were utilized, and t-tests and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) cross-validation were employed for feature selection. Subsequently, 11 machine learning algorithms were utilized to construct prediction models, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC), accuracy, and F1 measure were used to assess model performance, which was validated in a validation group. RESULTS: The Logistic algorithm demonstrated the most effective prediction in identifying polyp properties based on 10 radiomics combined with deep learning features, achieving the highest AUC (0.85 in the validation group, 95% confidence interval = 0.68-1.0). In addition, the accuracy (0.83 in the validation group) and F1 measure (0.76 in the validation group) also indicated strong performance. CONCLUSION: The machine learning radiomics combined with deep learning model based on enhanced CT proves valuable in predicting the characteristics of cholesterol and adenomatous gallbladder polyps. This approach provides a more reliable basis for preoperative diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

Background: The prognostic significance of Lauren's classification in elderly early gastric cancer (EGC) patients remains largely unknown. We aim to investigate the characteristics and clinical implications of Lauren's classification in elderly EGC patients. Methods: Patients were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression, propensity score matching, inverse-probability-weighted analysis, and propensity-score adjustment were utilized to evaluate the association between Lauren's classification and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in elderly EGC patients. Stratification and interaction analyses were used to reveal the effects of confounding factors on the association between Lauren's classification and CSS. Results: The diffuse type (median, 41.0 months) showed a similar survival (37.0 months), and was mainly distributed in female group (62.5% vs. 42.2%) with poorly differentiated or undifferentiated components (89.1% vs. 27.0%) compared with intestinal type in elderly EGC patients. Analyses of univariate and multivariate Cox regression, propensity score matching, inverse-probability-weighted analysis, and propensity-score adjustment showed that Lauren's classification was not significantly CSS in elderly EGC patients (P>0.05). Subgroup and interaction analyses confirmed the stability of the results. Conclusions: Diffuse type was mainly distributed in female patients with more poorly differentiated/undifferentiated components and similar prognosis compared with intestinal type in age 75 and older EGC patients. No significant association was observed between diffuse type and CSS of the elderly EGC patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Liver metastasis (LIM) is the most common distant site of metastasis in small intestinal stromal tumors (SISTs). The aim of this study was to determine the risk and prognostic factors associated with LIM in patients with SISTs. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumors between 2010 and 2019 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models, as well as a Cox regression model were used to explore the risk factors associated with the development and prognosis of LIM. Additionally, the overall survival (OS) of patients with LIM was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Furthermore, a predictive nomogram was constructed, and the model's performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS: A total of 1582 eligible patients with SISTs were included, among whom 146 (9.2%) were diagnosed with LIM. Poor tumor grade, absence of surgery, later T-stage, and no chemotherapy were associated with an increased risk of developing LIM. The nomogram prediction model achieved an AUC of 0.810, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.773-0.846, indicating good performance, and the calibration curve showed excellent accuracy in predicting LIM. The OS rate of patients with LIM was significantly lower than that of patients without LIM (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SISTs who are at high risk of developing LIM deserve more attention during follow-up, as LIM can significantly affect patient prognosis. The nomogram demonstrated good calibration and discrimination for predicting LIM.

A 30-year-old young previously healthy man presented to our hospital with middle and upper abdominal discomfort. Abdominal computerized tomography (CT) showed no significant abnormalities. White light endoscopy showed the local mucosa in the descending part of the duodenum had granuloid uplift, some of which were fused into pieces with red color, and some other areas showed fading tone. Magnifying endoscopy with indigo-carmine staining and narrow-band imaging showed a finger-like, loose villous structure with irregular microvessels on the surface. Pathological examination of biopsy specimens showed that lymphocytes were diffused and dispersed in the mucosa with relatively simple morphology, no lymphoid follicles were observed, and local compression was obvious. Immunohistochemical staining revealed a lymphoid population highly positive for CD20 and CD10. These results were consistent with duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (D-FL).

A 47-year-old man developed recurrent bloating. First gastroscopy showed there was a fading lesion about 0.5cm in size near the anterior wall of the large curve of the junction of the gastric antrum and the edge was red, and the biopsy pathology showed signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC). Subsequently, he went to other hospital for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, postoperative pathology indicated inflammation. After 6 months, gastroscopy showed that the lesion size was similar to that of the first time, the fading was obvious, and no redness was observed. Another year later, the lesion size was not significantly changed from these before. Weak amplification of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) showed slight dilatation of the glandular duct, mainly fading, no redness, and the biopsy was still SRC. Finally, he received a second ESD, and the postoperative pathology was consistent with that of our results.
