717 post-operation cases of gastric adenocarcinoma were studied at Viet Duc Hospital from the year 1993 to 1998. Surgical accidents accounted for 0.41%, postoperative complication 7.5%, surgical mortality 3.1%. The curettage of glands did not increase the number of complication and death. 23% survived with a survival duration of 30.29 months pos-surgically. There were different rates of death between the group underwent radical management of the carcinoma by curettage and the one which did not. Curettage had prolonged the postoperative survival duration, without complication and death.

Primary enteric adenocarcinoma is a rare variant of primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma. This disease lacks a distinctive manifestation and often requires pathological examination to make a definite diagnosis. A male patient visited the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University for consistent cough and sputum production for about 1 year. Anti-infection therapy was given but it showed ineffectiveness. Enteric adenocarcinoma was diagnosed after percutaneous lung biopsy according to pathological findings. Combining this case with relevant literature, we summarized the characteristics to raise physicians' awareness for this rare subtype.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. The accuracy of intraoperative frozen section (FS) in the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma infiltration cannot fully meet the clinical needs. The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of improving the diagnostic efficiency of FS in lung adenocarcinoma by using the original multi-spectral intelligent analyzer. METHODS: Patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022 were included in the study. The multispectral information of pulmonary nodule tissues and surrounding normal tissues were collected. A neural network model was established and the accuracy of the neural network diagnostic model was verified clinically. RESULTS: A total of 223 samples were collected in this study, 156 samples of primary lung adenocarcinoma were finally included, and a total of 1,560 sets of multispectral data were collected. The area under the curve (AUC) of spectral diagnosis in the test set (10% of the first 116 cases) of the neural network model was 0.955 (95%CI: 0.909-1.000, P<0.05), and the diagnostic accuracy was 95.69%. In the clinical validation group (the last 40 cases), the accuracy of spectral diagnosis and FS diagnosis were both 67.50% (27/40), and the AUC of the combination of the two was 0.949 (95%CI: 0.878-1.000, P<0.05), and the accuracy was 95.00% (38/40). CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of the original multi-spectral intelligent analyzer in the diagnosis of lung invasive adenocarcinoma and non-invasive adenocarcinoma is equivalent to that of FS. The application of the original multi-spectral intelligent analyzer in the diagnosis of FS can improve the diagnostic accuracy and reduce the complexity of intraoperative lung cancer surgery plan.

There are several controversies and issues in the surgical treatment of esophagogastric junction (AEG) currently. The Siewert classification and TNM staging system are commonly used to assist clinical decision and prognosis prediction. Generally, transthoracic procedure is more suitable for Siewert Ⅰ type and longer esophageal invasion patients, while transhiatal is more suitable for Siewert Ⅲ type patients. The optimal extent of lymph node dissection for AEG should be based on tumor location and esophageal invasion range. The extent of surgical resection and the method of digestive tract reconstruction should be based on the principle of radical resection and surgical safety, and the postoperative life quality of patients should be fully considered. Roux-en-Y anastomosis is the most common and efficient anastomosis after total gastrectomy, while double tract anastomosis is recommended by many experts after proximal gastrectomy. With the continuous advancement of minimally invasive techniques, experienced centers and teams can perform digestive tract reconstruction under total laparoscopy. In the future, more high-quality studies are expected to provide evidence-based medical evidence for AEG's surgical treatment decisions.

In recent years, adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has received increased attention from the academic community. However, the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) straddles two anatomical regions: the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. The histological features of the EGJ are different from those of the esophagus and stomach. There are general disagreements among the related disciplines regarding the definition and classification of AEG. By summarizing the views of different disciplines, including endoscopy, radiography, and pathology, a more comprehensive definition of the EGJ was formulated in the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma (the 15th edition), and the principle of endoscopic diagnostic priority was established. In recent years, with the development of physiological and anatomical studies, the EGJ has gradually expanded conceptually into a complex functional anatomical region covering the distal esophagus to the proximal stomach. The venous and lymphatic vessels in the EGJ are characterized by bidirectional flow, which is an important anatomical basis for the invasion and metastasis patterns of tumors in this region. The clinical practice of EGJ cancer has been promoted by the creation of Nishi and Siewert classification systems. With the support of a series of clinical studies for its scientificity and effectiveness, the Siewert classification is widely accepted by the international community, and successively introduced into major international practice guidelines. In general, the staging and management of Siewert Ⅰ and Ⅱ AEG are recommended as esophageal cancer, while Siewert Ⅲ AEG is recommended for gastric cancer. However, in the Japanese guidelines for the treatment of esophageal and gastric cancers, the Nishi classification is still used to define and classify EGJ cancer. Recent year, a Chinese consensus on the surgical treatment of AEG was formulated by multidisciplinary experts. The main controversies were summarized in the consensus, and proposals that incorporate the domestic situation were also presented. At present, only by returning to the basic anatomical and physiological perspectives, strengthening multidisciplinary communication and cooperation, and with the help of emerging bioinformatics, digital, and material technology, can it be possible to get out of the dilemma faced by traditional AEG classification and staging system.

The surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) involves thoracic and abdominal cavities. With no general consensus on the surgical treatment modality for AEG in China, the understanding and surgical practice of AEG are controversial between thoracic and gastrointestinal surgeons. Chinese expert consensus on the surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (2018 edition) was released in September 2018 by the Chinese expert panel including 19 thoracic surgeons and 20 gastrointestinal surgeons. The formulation and publication of this consensus has increased homogeneity of the understanding of the disease in different disciplines to a certain extent, and has facilitated standardized surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. The consensus was based on the best available clinical evidence and the latest national and international guidelines and consensus. Several rounds of discussion and voting were conducted. Finally, 27 statements on surgery-related recommendations and 9 issues requiring further investigation were reached in the consensus, which basically cover the fields and research hotspots of surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric juncton. This review will explain in details the Chinese expert consensus on the surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.

Objective: To explore the feasibility and application value of intraoperative direct immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in improving the diagnosis accuracy in difficult cases of bronchiolar adenoma (BA). Methods: Nineteen cases with single or multiple pulmonary ground-glass nodules or solid nodules indicated by imaging in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January to July 2021 and with difficulty in differential diagnosis at frozen HE sections were selected. In the experimental group, direct IHC staining of cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6) and p63 was performed on frozen sections to assist the differentiation of BA from in situ/micro-invasive adenocarcinoma/adenocarcinoma/invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. In the control group, two pathologists performed routine frozen HE section diagnosis on these 19 cases. The diagnostic results of paraffin sections were used as the gold standard. The sensitivity and specificity of BA diagnosis, consistency with paraffin diagnosis and time used for frozen diagnosis were compared between the experimental group and the control group. Results: The basal cells of BA were highlighted by CK5/6 and p63 staining. There were no basal cells in the in situ/microinvasive adenocarcinoma/adenocarcinoma/invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. In the experimental group, the sensitivity and specificity with aid of direct IHC staining for BA were 100% and 86.7%, respectively, and the Kappa value of frozen and paraffin diagnosis was 0.732, and these were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The average time consumption in the experimental group (32.4 min) was only 7 min longer than that in the control group (25.4 min). Conclusions: Direct IHC staining can improve the accuracy of BA diagnosis intraoperatively and reduce the risk of misdiagnosis, but require significantly longer time. Thus frozen direct IHC staining should be restricted to cases with difficulty in differentiating benign from malignant diseases, especially when the surgical modalities differ based on the frozen diagnosis.
