Retrospective evaluation of lymphatic and blood vessel invasion and Borrmann types in advanced proximal gastric cancer

Abstract: BACKGROUND The Borrmann classification system is used to describe the macroscopic appearance of advanced gastric cancer, and Borrmann type IV disease is independently associated with a poor prognosis. AIM To evaluate the prognostic significance of lymphatic and/or blood vessel invasion (LBVI) combined with the Borrmann type in advanced proximal gastric cancer (APGC). METHODS The clinicopathological and survival data of 440 patients with APGC … Show more

“…Yamashita et al [ 23 ] considered that for patients with pTNM stage II/III, giant Borrmann type III AGC (≥8 cm) had similar sensitivity to postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with Borrmann type IV AGC; Both belonged to the high-risk macroscopic type, and the 5-year survival rate was 35.7%. However, other studies found that patients with vascular infiltration Borrmann type III had the same poor prognosis as type IV, with a 5-year survival rate of 16.4%–19.4% [ 8 , 24 ]. The reason for this divergence is the high heterogeneity of GC.…”

“…Since proximal GC has more aggressive biological characteristics than distal GC, the prognosis of proximal GC is worse than that of distant GC[ 20 - 22 ]. The study by Gao et al[ 23 ] showed that in proximal GC, there is no significant difference in prognosis between patients with Borrmann type III disease and LBVI (+) and those with Borrmann type IV and LBVI (-). This is similar to the results of this study, which also included patients with GC in various locations.…”

“…When assessing LVI, it is important to exclude false-positive and false-negative cases of LVI, which is possible when using the immunohistochemical method of staining tumor tissue[ 171 ]. In a group of patients with LVI+/perineural invasion (PNI)+, the overall and relapse-free survival rates were significantly lower than in the group of patients who were LVI-/PNI-[ 137 - 140 ], including in patients with lymph node-negative GC[ 141 , 142 ] and in patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy[ 172 ]. Interestingly, adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved overall and disease-free survival in PNI+ but not PNI- patients, and these results were not influenced by disease stage[ 173 ].…”
