ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) was previously thought to have a worse prognosis than other differentiated gastric cancer (GC), however, recent studies have shown that the prognosis of SRCC is related to pathological type. We hypothesize that patients with SRCC and with different SRCC pathological components have different probability of lymph node metastasis (LNM).AIM:
To establish models to predict LNM in early GC (EGC), including early gastric SRCC.METHODS:
Clinical data from EGC patients who had undergone gastrectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2012 to March 2022 were reviewed. The patients were divided into three groups based on type Pure SRCC, mixed SRCC, and non-signet ring cell carcinoma (NSRC). The risk factors were identified through statistical tests using SPSS 23.0, R, and Em-powerStats software.RESULTS:
A total of 1922 subjects with EGC were enrolled in this study, and included 249 SRCC patients and 1673 NSRC patients, while 278 of the patients (14.46%) presented with LNM. Multivariable analysis showed that gender, tumor size, depth of invasion, lymphovascular invasion, ulceration, and histological subtype were independent risk factors for LNM in EGC. Establishment and analysis using prediction models of EGC showed that the artificial neural network model was better than the logistic regression model in terms of sensitivity and accuracy (98.0% vs 58.1%, P = 0.034; 88.4% vs 86.8%, P < 0.001, respectively). Among the 249 SRCC patients, LNM was more common in mixed (35.06%) rather than in pure SRCC (8.42%, P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve of the logistic regression model for LNM in SRCC was 0.760 (95%CI 0.682-0.843), while the area under the operating characteristic curve of the internal validation set was 0.734 (95%CI 0.643-0.826). The subgroups analysis of pure types showed that LNM was more common in patients with a tumor size > 2 cm (OR = 5.422, P = 0.038).CONCLUSION:
A validated prediction model was developed to recognize the risk of LNM in EGC and early gastric SRCC, which can aid in pre-surgical decision making of the best method of treatment for patients.Palavras-chave
