Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) combined with digestive tract cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 163 patients with gastric GIST who were admitted to the Union Hospital admitted to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2002 to December 2021 were collected. There were 606 males and 557 females, aged 59(range,20?94)years. Of the 1 163 patients, 129 cases with gastric GIST combined with other digestive tract cancer were divided into the combined group, and 1 034 cases with only gastric GIST were divided into the non-combined group. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological features of patients; (2) surgical situations and postoperative complications; (3) follow-up and survival of patients; (4) analysis of prognosis associated affecting factors. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination, telephone and online interview to detect survival of patients up to January 2022. The overall survival time was defined as the time from surgery to the last tine of follow-up or the outcome events, such as death of patient, loss of follow-up, etc. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measure-ment data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Com-parison of ordinal data was conducted using the non-parameter Mann-Whitney U test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates, and Log-Rank test was used to conduct survival analysis. The COX proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Clinicopathological features of patients. Of the 129 patients in the combined group, there were 81 cases combined with gastric cancer, 39 cases combined with esophageal cancer, 8 cases combined with colon cancer and 1 case combined with rectal cancer. Gender (male, female), cases with age ≤60 years or>60 years, cases without or with clinical symp-toms before surgery, cases with tumor diameter of gastric GIST as<2 cm, 2?5 cm, 5?10 cm,>10 cm, cases with mitotic index as <5/50× high power field, 5?10/50× high power field, >10/50× high power field, cases with cell proliferation index of Ki-67 as ≤5% or >5%, cases classified as extremely low risk, low risk, medium risk and high risk of the modified national institutes of health (NIH) risk classification, cases with or without tumor necrosis of the gastric GIST, cases without or with adjuvant imatinib therapy, cases with the expression of DOG-1 detected by immunohistochemical staining as positive or negative, cases with the expression of CD34 as positive or negative were 92, 37, 30, 99, 9, 120, 114, 10, 3, 2, 126, 1, 2, 122, 2, 112, 8, 5, 4, 129, 0, 121, 8, 118, 3, 117, 12 in the combined group, versus 514, 520, 585, 449, 194, 840, 383, 360,201, 90, 799, 155, 80, 851, 143, 337, 308, 192, 197, 960, 74, 769, 265, 850, 80, 990, 44 in the non-combined group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=21.46, 51.11, 11.06, Z=?10.27, ?5.34, χ2=15.94, Z=?10.61, χ2=9.86, 24.10, 5.52, 6.37, P<0.05). Of the 1 163 patients, there were 12 cases of the combined group suspected diagnosed as gastric GIST before surgery and 1 case of the combined group dia-gnosed as gastric GIST by gastroscopy and pathological examination before surgery. The rest of 1 150 patients were diagnosed as gastric GIST by intraoperative exploration or postoperative pathological examination. (2) Surgical situations and postoperative complications. Of the 129 patients in the combined group, 72 cases underwent open surgery and 57 cases underwent laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery including 3 cases converted to open surgery. Of the 1 034 patients in the non-combined group,207 cases underwent endoscopic surgery, 371 cases underwent open surgery, and 456 cases underwent laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery including 8 cases converted to open surgery. Incidence of postoperative complications was 10.078%(13/129) in the combined group, versus 2.321%(24/1 034) in the non-combined group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=22.40, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up and survival of patients. Of the 1 163 patients, 1 046 cases were followed up for 44(range, 1?220)months, with the postoperative 5-year overall survival rate as 87.2%. The postoperative 5-year overall survival rate was 51.2% in the combined group, versus 91.4% in the non-combined group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=169.07, P<0.05). (4) Analysis of prognosis associated affecting factors. Results of univariate analysis showed that gender, age, tumor diameter of gastric GIST as 2?5 cm, 5?10 cm and >10 cm, combined with other digestive tract cancer, mitotic index as >10/50× high power field and tumor necrosis of the gastric GIST were related factors affecting the postoperative 5-year overall survival rate of patients with gastric GIST ( hazard ratio=2.16, 2.27, 0.46, 0.57, 1.75, 7.58, 2.70, 1.80, 95% confidence intervals as 1.52?3.07, 1.60?3.22, 0.29?0.71, 0.34?0.94, 1.11?2.77, 5.29?10.85, 1.67?4.38, 1.08?2.98, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, tumor diameter of gastric GIST, combined with other digestive tract cancer and mitotic index were independent factors affecting the post-operative 5-year overall survival rate of patients with gastric GIST ( hazard ratio=1.91, 1.82, 2.10, 7.11, 2.75, 95% confidence intervals as 1.33?2.75, 1.27?2.62, 1.14?3.87, 4.58?11.04, 1.50?5.03, P<0.05). Conclusions:The tumor diameter of gastric GIST is short in patients combined with other digestive tract cancer, and the risk grade of modified NIH risk classification is lower. Gender, age, tumor diameter of gastric GIST, combined with other digestive tract cancer and mitotic index are independent factors affecting the postoperative 5-year overall survival rate of patients with gastric GIST.
