[PMID: 39995554 PMCID: PMC11686557 DOI: 10.5306/wjco.v16.i2.98983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2024] [Revised: 09/26/2024] [Accepted: 11/13/2024] [Indexed: 12/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the global prevalence of gastric cancer (GC) has witnessed a progressive decrease, accompanied by a step-growth in the incidence of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC). As precision medicine concepts progress, GSRCC, a distinct sub-type of GC, has drawn considerable attention from researchers. However, there still persist some controversies regarding the associated research findings. AIM To summarize the current obstacles and potential future directions for research on GSRCC. METHODS To begin with, all literature related to GSRCC published from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2023 was subjected to bibliometric analysis in this article. Additionally, this paper analyzed the research data using CiteSpace, GraphPad Prism v8.0.2, and VOSviewer, which was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The analysis results were visually represented. RESULTS This study provided a comprehensive overview of the statistical characteristics of the 995 English articles related to GSRCC, including cited references, authors, journals, countries, institutions, and keywords. The popular keywords and clusters contain "prognosis", "survival", "expression", "histology", and "chemotherapy". CONCLUSION The prognosis, precise definition and classification, as well as chemoresistance of GSRCC, continue to be crucial areas of ongoing research, whose directions are closely tied to advancements in molecular biology research on GSRCC.

Yan J, Liu Y, Liu T, Zhu Q. A predictive and prognostic model for metastasis risk and prognostic factors in gastrointestinal signet ring cell carcinoma. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:545. [PMID: 39538294 PMCID: PMC11562313 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-02135-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 11/03/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to predict metastasis risk and identify prognostic factors of gastrointestinal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) using data from the SEER database, the largest cancer dataset in North America. METHODS Data were obtained from the SEER database, covering 17 cancer registries from 2004 to 2020. Demographic and clinical data included sex, age, race, tumor location, size, pathological grade, stage, overall survival time, and treatment modalities. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS and R software. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) ensured comparable baseline characteristics between gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) groups. LASSO regression analysis identified predictors of metastasis, leading to the construction of predictive models using the lrm function in R. Nomograms were visualized with the "rms" package and assessed via ROC curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Cox regression analyses identified prognostic indicators for overall survival (OS), and Kaplan-Meier curves compared OS between high-risk and low-risk groups. RESULTS From 2004 to 2020, 7680 SRCC patients were identified, including 4980 GC and 2700 CRC patients. CRC patients were older and had larger tumors, higher staging, and worse differentiation. Nomograms demonstrated good discriminative ability, with AUCs of 0.704 and 0.694 for GC, and 0.694 and 0.701 for CRC in training and validation cohorts, respectively. The DCA curve indicates that this predictive model has a high gain in predicting metastasis and OS. CONCLUSIONS The nomograms effectively predicted metastasis risk and OS in metastatic SRCC patients, offering clinical utility in stratifying patients and guiding treatment decisions, thereby enhancing personalized treatment approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upper gastrointestinal (GI) signet ring cell carcinomas (SRCC) confer a poor prognosis. The benefit of operative intervention for this patient group is controversial in terms of overall survival. AIM To investigate factors relating to survival in patients with upper GI SRCC. METHODS A retrospective, tertiary, single-centre review of patients who were diagnosed with oesophageal, gastroesophageal junction and gastric SRCC was performed. The primary outcome was to compare mortality of patients who underwent operative management with those who had nonoperative management. Secondary outcomes included assessing the relationship between demographic and histopathological factors, and survival. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-one patients were included. The one-year survival for the operative group was 81% and for the nonoperative group was 19.1%. The five-year survival in the operative group was 28.6% vs 1.5% in the nonoperative group. The difference in overall survival between groups was statistically significant (HR 0.19, 95%CI (0.13-0.30), P < 0.001). There was no difference in survival when adjusting for age, smoking status or gender. On multivariate analysis, patients who underwent surgical management, those with a lower stage of disease, and those with a lower Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) had significantly improved survival. CONCLUSION Well-selected patients with upper GI SRCC appear to have reasonable medium-term survival following surgery. Offering surgery to a carefully selected patient group may improve the outcome for this disease.

[PMID: 38577442 PMCID: PMC10989384 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v16.i3.687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Alcian blue (AB) and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stains are representative mucus markers in gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). They are low-cost special staining methods used to detect acidic mucus and neutral mucus, respectively. However, the clinical importance of the special combined AB and PAS stain is unclear. AIM To investigate AB expression, PAS expression and the AB-to-PAS (A/P) ratio in gastric SRCC patients and to assess patient prognosis. METHODS Paraffin-embedded sections from 83 patients with gastric SRCC were stained with AB and PAS, and signet ring cell positivity was assessed quantitatively. Immunohistochemical staining for Ki67, protein 53 (P53) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) was performed simultaneously. The cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate was estimated via Kaplan-Meier analysis. Cox proportional hazards models were used for univariate and multivariate survival analyses. RESULTS Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the 3-year CSS rate was significantly greater in the high-PAS-expression subgroup than in the low-PAS-expression subgroup (P < 0.001). The 3-year CSS rate in the A/P ≤ 0.5 group was significantly greater than that in the A/P > 0.5 group (P = 0.042). Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the factors affecting prognosis included tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, vessel carcinoma embolus, tumor stage, the A/P ratio and the expression of Ki67, P53 and the PAS. Cox multivariate regression analysis confirmed that low PAS expression [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.809, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.563-9.283, P = 0.003] and large tumor diameter (HR = 2.761, 95%CI: 1.086-7.020, P = 0.033) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. CONCLUSION A/P > 0.5 is potentially a risk factor for prognosis, and low PAS expression is an independent risk factor in the prognosis of gastric SRCC. PAS expression and the A/P ratio could help in predicting the clinical prognosis of patients with SRCC.

Abstract
Globally, gastrointestinal cancer is the most widespread neoplastic disease and the primary contributor to cancer-associated fatalities. Gastrointestinal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) exhibits unique distinguishing features in several aspects when compared to adenocarcinomas (ACs). The scarcity of signet ring cell carcinoma has resulted in a heightened significance of related clinical and molecular investigations. However, a comprehensive and systematic review of the clinical, molecular, therapeutic, and research aspects of this disease is currently absent. This review provides an overview of the latest developments in our understanding of the clinical and molecular features of gastrointestinal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Additionally, we have compiled a list of potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers, as well as an examination of the current treatment options and the possible mechanisms of formation.

Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:376. [PMID: 37743407 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-03114-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Only recently has the percentage of signet-ring cells (SRCs) been shown to affect the prognosis following gastric cancer surgery. It is uncertain whether the SRC percentage has a role in tumour biology or prognosis of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC). For this research, we assessed the effect of the SRC percentage on the clinicopathological and prognostic characteristics of gastric cancer (GC) tumours and created and verified a prognostic nomogram to assess the overall survival (OS) of GSRCC patients. METHODS In our study, 1100 GC patients with signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from December 2013 to December 2018 who underwent curative gastric cancer resection were retrospectively analysed. The patients were separated into two groups: those with SRCC (SRC percentage >50%; n = 157) and those with partial signet-ring cell carcinoma (PSRCC) (SRC percentage ≤50%; n = 943). We compared the clinicopathological characteristics of both groups. To estimate OS and determine correlations with the SRC percentage, the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used. To develop the prognostic nomogram, independent prognostic indicators for OS were identified using Cox regression analyses. Predictions were assessed using the calibration curve and C-index. RESULTS Our research showed that there was no discernible difference in OS between the two groups. The preoperative CA242 level, pT stage, pN stage, age, nerve invasion, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, postoperative chemotherapy, and maximum tumour diameter were independent prognostic risk factors for OS for GC (all p < 0.05). However, for advanced GC, the SRC percentage (HR = 1.571, 95% CI 1.072-2.302, p = 0.020) was an independent prognostic factor of OS. Other independent prognostic risk factors were age, pT stage, pN stage, nerve invasion, tumour location, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, postoperative chemotherapy, preoperative CA50 level, and preoperative CEA level (all p < 0.05). On these bases, nomograms were constructed for GC and advanced GC, with C-indexes of 0.806 (95%CI 0.782-0.830) and 0.728 (95%CI 0.697-0.759), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In cases of advanced gastric cancer, the SRC percentage served as a standalone prognostic indicator for OS. An effective tool for assessing the prognosis of GSRCC was offered by the nomogram.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Signet ring cell carcinoma accounts for 35% to 45% of all gastric cancer. Despite the acknowledgment of its more aggressive pathological features, various controversies surrounding this topic still exist. Thus, we investigate the clinical pathological characteristics and survival prognostic significance of signet ring cell components in patients affected by gastric cancer. METHODS From January 2004 to December 2020, in a retrospective study, we enrolled 404 patients with gastric cancer who were curatively treated in our department. The male-to-female ratio was 249/142, and the median age was 75 (range 37-94). We dichotomized patients into two groups (75 patients vs. 316 patients) based on the signet ring cell presence; according to preoperative, operative, and postoperative characteristics, we performed a univariate and multivariate analysis for overall survival. RESULTS Signet ring cell carcinoma indicated an increasing incidence trend over the time analyzed. Overall median survival of signet ring cell and non-signet ring cell carcinoma were, respectively, 16 vs. 35 months, p < 0.05. In early gastric cancer, the prognosis of the signet ring cell is better than that of the non-signet ring cell, as opposed to advanced cancer. Among the entire population in the multivariate analysis, the only independent factors were preoperative serum albumin level, complete surgical resection, level of lymphadenectomy, and pathological stage. Recurrence occurred more frequently in patients affected by signet ring cell, but in our data, we could not identify a peculiar site of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Signet ring cell carcinoma has a specific oncogenetic phenotype and treatment resistance heterogeneity; however, it is not always associated with poor prognosis. According to our results, a radical surgical procedure associated with an adequate lymphadenectomy should be advocated to improve patients survival. Gastric cancer patients with signet ring cell components should draw clinicians' attention.

Abstract
Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRC) is a special subtype of gastric cancer (GC) associated with poor prognosis, but an in-depth and systematic study of GSRC is lacking. Here, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing to assess GC samples. We identify signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) cells. Microseminoprotein-beta (MSMB) can be used as a marker gene to guide the identification of moderately/poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). The upregulated differentially expressed genes in SRCC cells are mainly enriched in abnormally activated cancer-related signalling pathways and immune response signalling pathways. SRCC cells are also significantly enriched in mitogen-activated protein kinase and oestrogen signalling pathways, which can interact and promote each other in a positive feedback loop. SRCC cells are shown to have lower cell adhesion and higher immune evasion capabilities as well as an immunosuppressive microenvironment, which may be closely associated with the relatively poor prognosis of GSRC. In summary, GSRC exhibits unique cytological characteristics and a unique immune microenvironment, which may be advantageous for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Comprehensive Analysis of Clinicopathological and Molecular Features to Predict Anti-PD-1-Based Therapy Efficacy in Patients with Advanced Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13010115. [PMID: 36675776 PMCID: PMC9861489 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13010115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a specific type of gastric cancer. The clinicopathological and molecular characteristics that can be used to predict the response to anti-PD-1 therapy for these patients are still not clear. METHODS Patients with advanced SRCC who received first-line anti-PD-1-based treatment were enrolled in this study. The clinicopathological characteristics of these patients were obtained from their medical records. The molecular features of these patients were analyzed by means of a next-generation-sequencing-based panel. The predictive significance of clinicopathological and molecular features for efficacy was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 71 patients with measurable lesions were included in this study, among which 46 patients had enough tissues for next-generation sequencing. The overall objective response rate (ORR) was 46.4%. ORR was significantly higher in mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient (dMMR) patients than in MMR-proficient (pMMR) patients, in patients with lymph node metastasis only than those with other metastasis sites, and in patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0 than with a PS of 1 or 2. The progression-free survival was significantly longer in patients with dMMR, lymph node metastasis only, PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥ 5, and CDH1 wild type. CONCLUSIONS Several clinicopathological and molecular features are associated with anti-PD-1 treatment efficacy in SRCC, which might be used to identify patients who can benefit most from these therapies.

While the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) in general has decreased worldwide in recent decades, the incidence of diffuse cancer historically comprising poorly cohesive cells-GC (PCC-GC) and including signet ring cell cancer is rising. Literature concerning PCC-GC is scarce and unclear, mostly due to a large variety of historically used definitions and classifications. Compared to other histological subtypes of GC, PCC-GC is nevertheless characterized by a distinct set of epidemiological, histological and clinical features which require a specific diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The aim of this review was to provide an update on the definition, classification and therapeutic strategies of PCC-GC. We focus on the updated histological definition of PCC-GC, along with its implications on future treatment strategies and study design. Also, specific considerations in the diagnostic management are discussed. Finally, the impact of some recent developments in the therapeutic management of GC in general such as the recently validated taxane-based regimens (5-Fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel), the use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as well as pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy and targeted therapy have been reviewed in depth for their relative importance for PCC-GC in particular.

Abstract
Background Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) has shown a growth growing trend worldwide, but its clinicopathological features and prognostic-related risk factors have not been systematically studied. This systematic review was devoted to this. Method PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were retrieved, and retrospective cohort studies comparing clinicopathological features and related risk factors in SRCC patients were included. Results In SRCC patient population, males were more than females (male, OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.20-1.60); N3 patients were more than N0-2 patients (N0-2, OR = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.98-5.15); M1 patients were more than M0 patients (M0, OR = 3.30, 95% CI: 1.88-5.80); patients with tumor > 5 cm were more than those with tumor (≤5 cm, OR = 7.36, 95% CI: 1.33-40.60). Patients with age < 60 years (age ≥ 60 years, OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05), lymphatic vessel invasion (no, OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.03-2.45), T2 (T1, OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.07-1.28) and T4 (T1, OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 2.30-2.81) stages, and N1 (N0, OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.08-2.38), N2 (N0, OR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.12-3.36), and N3 (N0, OR = 3.45, 95% CI: 1.58-5.32) stages had higher hazard ratio (HR). Conclusion SRCC may occur frequently in male. Age, lymphatic vessel invasion, TN, and M stage may be risk factors for poor prognoses of SRCC patients.

Abstract
The treatment of patients with peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer continues to evolve. With various forms of intraperitoneal drug delivery available, it is now possible to reach the sites of peritoneal metastases, which were otherwise sub-optimally covered by systemic chemotherapy, owing to the blood peritoneal barrier. We conducted a narrative review based on an extensive literature research, highlighting the current available intraperitoneal treatment options, which resulted in improved survival in well-selected patients of peritoneally metastasized gastric cancer. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy showed promising results in four different treatment modalities: prophylactic, neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and palliative. It is now possible to choose the type of intraperitoneal treatment/s in combination with systemic treatment/s, depending on patients' general condition and peritoneal disease burden, thus providing individualized treatment to these patients. Randomized controlled trials for the different treatment modalities were mainly conducted in Asia and lack further validation in the other parts of the world. Most recent application tools, such as pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy, seem promising and need to pass the ongoing clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a particular histologic variant of gastric cancer (GC). However, the critical factor related to the aggressive characteristics of SRCC has not been determined. METHODS We collected surgically resected tissues from 360 GC patients in the Kumamoto University cohort and generated survival curves via the Kaplan-Meier method. In vitro, we identified the specific transcript variant of MUC20 in SRCC cells by direct sequencing and investigated the role of MUC20 in GC progression using GC cells with MUC20 silencing and forced expression. In vivo, we examined chemoresistance using MUC20 variant 2 (MUC20v2)-overexpressing non-SRCC cells to construct a xenograft mouse model. RESULTS We analyzed a comprehensive GC cell line database to identify the specifically expressed genes in gastric SRCC. We focused on MUC20 and investigated its role in GC progression. Survival analysis revealed that GC patients with high MUC20 expression exhibited a poor prognosis and that MUC20 expression was significantly correlated with SRCC histological type. Moreover, we found that gastric SRCC cells specifically expressed MUC20v2, which was dominantly expressed in the cytoplasm. Silencing MUC20v2 caused cell death with characteristic morphological changes in gastric SRCC cells. To further determine the types of cell death, we examined apoptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis by detecting cleaved PARP, gasdermin E-N-terminal (GSDME-N), and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, respectively. We found that apoptosis and pyroptosis occurred in MUC20-silenced gastric SRCC cells. In addition, MUC20v2-overexpressing GC cells exhibited chemoresistance to cisplatin (CDDP) and paclitaxel (PTX). RNA sequencing revealed that the pathways involved in intracellular calcium regulation were significantly upregulated in MUC20v2-overexpressing GC cells. Notably, forced expression of MUC20v2 in the cytoplasm of GC cells led to the maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), which promoted cell survival and chemoresistance by suppressing apoptosis and pyroptosis. Finally, we investigated the significance of MUC20v2 in a xenograft model treated with CDDP and showed that MUC20v2 overexpression caused chemoresistance by inhibiting cell death. CONCLUSION These findings highlight the novel functions of MUC20v2, which may confer cell survival and drug resistance in GC cells. SIGNIFICANCE MUC20v2 protects GC cells from apoptosis and pyroptosis by maintaining mitochondrial calcium levels and mitochondrial membrane potential and subsequently induces drug resistance.

Abstract
Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Gastric carcinoma is histologically subdivided into differentiated and undifferentiated carcinoma, with the latter including poorly differentiated carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Poorly differentiated carcinoma and SRCC have a worse prognosis compared with differentiated carcinoma. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors and the PPAR-α subtype regulates important cellular functions, including cell proliferation, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, immune responses and cell differentiation. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the associations between clinicopathological factors and PPAR-α expression in patients with gastric carcinoma. The immunohistochemical staining of specimens obtained from 57 patients showed that PPAR-α expression was slightly weaker in undifferentiated carcinoma than in differentiated carcinoma (P<0.01). PPAR-α expression also significantly differed between poorly differentiated carcinoma (both positive and negative: 14/20, 70%) and SRCC (not expressed: 0/7, 0%) (P<0.01). However, PPAR-α expression was not significantly affected by age, lymph node invasion, venous invasion, lymph node metastasis, depth of invasion or stage. Collectively, the present results demonstrated that the downregulated expression of PPAR-α may play a key role in the biological transformation of tumors. Therefore, PPAR-α appears to be an important protein related to histology and may hold promise as a prognostic marker. Further studies with a larger number of subjects are needed to elucidate the relationship between PPAR-α expression and tumor progression and to analyze long-term clinical survival.

Abstract
Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a poorly cohesive subtype of gastric cancer. It is more aggressive than other types of gastric cancer. There is no special method for its treatment, but gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy is the standard approach. The aim of this study is to investigate postoperative outcomes of D1 lymphadenectomy and D1(+)lymphadenectomy in gastric SRCC. A total of 358 cases whohad a gastrectomy performed forthe diagnosis of gastric cancer between 2013 and 2019 in Ankara University Medical Faculty, Surgical Oncology Department were retrospectively investigated. In all, 128 of the cases had SRCC in the final pathology. We separated the cases into two types,D1 lymphadenectomy and D1(+) lymphadenectomy. The 5-year survival, early mortality, hospital mortality and postoperative complication rates were evaluated. There were 59 patients in the D1 group and 64 patients in the D1(+) group.Metastatic lymph node amount and therefore N stage was found to be significantly higher in the D1(+) group (p=0.00 and p=0.03, respectively). Postoperative chyle fistula was found to be significantly higher in the D1(+) group (p=0.003). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups with regard tomean survival (p=0.065);the 5-year mean survival was 21% in the D1 group and 7% in the D1(+) group.
Present findings suggest that extended lymphadenectomy does not provide a benefit in cases of SRCC.

Abstract
Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) is a distinct histological subtype of gastric carcinoma. Our aim is to investigate differential characteristics between gastric SRC and other non SRC carcinomas (nSRC). It was a retrospective study including 183 patients diagnosed with gastric carcinoma over a period of 5 years at our pathology department. We performed statistical comparison of clinicopathological features between patients with SRC and those with nSRC. 127 patients (69.4%) had nSRC, 56 had SRC (30.6%), the mean age was 56.67 ± 14.03 years. Patients with SRC were younger than those with nSRC (mean age of 49.66 versus 59.76, P = 0.030). Patients with SRC tend to have more diffuse tumors in the stomach (P = 0.005), with flat macroscopic appearance (P = 0.001). Patients with SRC present more often with pT3 tumors (P < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.024) and perineural invasion (P = 0.003). There were no significant differences between SRC and nSRC in gender, vascular invasion or distant metastasis (P > 0.05). The median survival time was 42.82 ± 1.70 months. Patients with nSRC live longer than those with SRC, but the difference was not significant (P = 0.28). SRC is a histological subtype of gastric carcinoma with distinctive clinicopathologic features. The clinical management of patients should take into account these particular features.

Abstract
Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of the stomach is a rare type of cancer with a slowly rising incidence. It tends to be more difficult to detect by pathologists, mainly due to its cellular morphology and diffuse invasion manner, and it has poor prognosis when detected at an advanced stage. Computational pathology tools that can assist pathologists in detecting SRCC would be of a massive benefit. In this paper, we trained deep learning models using transfer learning, fully-supervised learning, and weakly-supervised learning to predict SRCC in Whole Slide Images (WSIs) using a training set of 1,765 WSIs. We evaluated the models on two different test sets (n = 999, n = 455). The best model achieved a ROC-AUC of at least 0.99 on all two test sets, setting a top baseline performance for SRCC WSI classification.

Abstract
Background: The aim of our study was to develop a nomogram model to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRC). Methods: GSRC patients from 2004 to 2015 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and randomly assigned to the training and validation sets. Multivariate Cox regression analyses screened for OS and CSS independent risk factors and nomograms were constructed. Results: A total of 7,149 eligible GSRC patients were identified, including 4,766 in the training set and 2,383 in the validation set. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that gender, marital status, race, AJCC stage, TNM stage, surgery and chemotherapy were independent risk factors for both OS and CSS. Based on the results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis, prognostic nomograms were constructed for OS and CSS. In the training set, the C-index was 0.754 (95% CI = 0.746-0.762) for the OS nomogram and 0.762 (95% CI: 0.753-0.771) for the CSS nomogram. In the internal validation, the C-index for the OS nomogram was 0.758 (95% CI: 0.746-0.770), while the C-index for the CSS nomogram was 0.762 (95% CI: 0.749-0.775). Compared with TNM stage and SEER stage, the nomogram had better predictive ability. In addition, the calibration curves also showed good consistency between the predicted and actual 3-year and 5-year OS and CSS. Conclusion: The nomogram can effectively predict OS and CSS in patients with GSRC, which may help clinicians to personalize prognostic assessments and clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical pathology of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC) is still unclear. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the difference in biological behavior and prognosis between SRC and non-signet ring cell carcinoma (NSRC). METHODS A total of 58 eligible studies were analyzed using RevMan and other auxiliary software. Biological behaviors were compared based on odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD). Hazards ratio (HR) was calculated for prognosis based on Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS Totally, 28,946 SRC patients were compared with 81,917 NSRC patients. Compared with NSRC patients, lower male: female ratio (OR = 0.53, P < 0.01), younger age (MD = -4.89, P < 0.01), more middle location (OR = 1.64, P < 0.01), more depressed type at early stage (OR = 1.31, P < 0.05), higher incidence of Borrmann type IV (OR = 1.96, P < 0.01), less lymph node metastasis at early stage (OR = 0.78, P < 0.05), better prognosis at early stage (HR = 0.59, P < 0.01), and worse prognosis at advanced stage (HR = 1.19, P < 0.01) were associated with SRC patients. CONCLUSION The prognosis of SRC at early stage is better than other types of gastric cancer, while that of SRC at advanced stage is relatively poorer.

Abstract
Background Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) is a rare histological subtype of gallbladder adenocarcinoma. The current study evaluates the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of SRC. Methods Patients with adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 1973 to 2016. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients who had SRC were compared with those of patients who had non-SRC using Cox regression and propensity score methods. Results Of 22,781 gallbladder adenocarcinomas retrieved, 377 (1.7%) were SRC and the other 22,404 were non-SRC. SRC was more significantly associated with older age, female gender, poor differentiation, advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and advanced AJCC stage. The 5-year OS and CSS in the SRC group were 7.2 and 6.5%, respectively, both of which were significantly worse than the 13.2 and 13.3% seen in the SRC group (P = 0.002 and P = 0.012, respectively). This survival disadvantage persisted in multivariable analyses [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.256, P = 0.021 and HR = 1.211, P = 0.036] and after propensity score matching (OS: HR = 1.341, P = 0.012 and CSS: HR = 1.625, P = 0.005). Surgery in combination with chemotherapy improved OS of gallbladder SRC patients compared with surgery alone (HR = 0.726, P = 0.036) or chemotherapy alone (HR = 0.433, P < 0.001). Conclusion Patients with SRC of the gallbladder have distinct clinicopathological features with poor prognosis. Surgery in combination with chemotherapy can improve survival.

Abstract
Background Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a specific subtype of stomach cancer with unique epidemiology. Here, we sought to explore the role of KRAS in SRCC. Methods KRAS status was studied both in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and internal cohorts. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. We explored patients' survival and clinicopathological characteristics in terms of KRAS mutation and expression. We also explored KRAS status and drug response curve of MEK/mTOR inhibitors in SRCC cell lines. Results Patients with KRAS mutations and copy number variation (CNV) showed higher mRNA level compared to non-mutant cases (P=0.003 and P<0.001). In internal cohort, 15 samples harbored KRAS mutations. Survival analysis showed that these patients had significantly lower overall survival (OS) (P=0.048). We further analyzed 75 patients with sufficient FFPE samples. Eight patients showed KRAS mutations and one patient showed KRAS amplification. The median OS was 12.5 months for patients with KRAS mutation, and 19.5 months for patients without KRAS mutation (P=0.005). Positive expression of KRAS as shown by IHC was detected in majority of SRCC samples, which was higher than our intestinal cohort (28% vs. 12.6%, P=0.033). We further explored the correlation between KRAS status and drug sensitivity in 4 SRCC cell lines. SNU601 and SNU668, which harbored KRAS mutation, were hypersensitive to MEK and mTOR inhibitors than KRAS wide type cell lines KATO-III and NUGC-4. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that KRAS gene plays an important role in SRCC and reveals therapeutic potential of targeting tumors by inhibiting MEK and mTOR pathways.

Difference Between Signet Ring Cell Gastric Cancers and Non-Signet Ring Cell Gastric Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Oncol 2021; 11:618477. [PMID: 34026606 PMCID: PMC8139399 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.618477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: There is controversy about the characteristics and prognostic implications of signet ring cell gastric cancers and non-signet ring cell gastric cancers. Objective: This study aims to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) and non-signet ring cell carcinoma (NSRCC) of stomach. Methods: Studies compared between SRCC and NSRCC of the stomach after gastrectomy and published before September 1st, 2020, in the PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases, were identified systematically. Results: A total of 2,865 studies were screened, and 36 studies were included, with 19,174 patients in the SRCC group and 55,942 patients in the NSRCC group. SRCC patients were younger in age (P < 0.001), less likely to be male patients (P < 0.001), more afflicted with upper third lesions (P < 0.001), and presenting with more Borrmann type IV tumors (P = 0.005) than NSRCC patients. Lymph nodes metastasis was similar between SRCC and NSRCC patients with advanced tumor stage (OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.671.10, P = 0.23), but lower in the SRCC than NSRCC patients with early tumor stage (OR: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.560.98, P = 0.02). SRCC patients had comparable survival outcomes with NSRCC patients for early gastric cancers (HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.651.68, P < 0.001) but had significantly poor prognosis for patients with advanced tumor stage (HR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.281.76, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Signet ring cell carcinomas of the stomach are an increasingly common histopathological subtype of gastric cancers. These kinds of patients tend to be younger in age and more often female. Although, signet ring cell gastric cancer is a negative prognostic factor for patients with advanced stage. The difference is that for early stage of signet ring cell gastric cancers, it has low lymph nodes metastasis rate and comparable prognosis with non-signet ring cell cancers.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcome of adjuvant S-1 with 2-week administration followed by a 1-week rest for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. Methods The current study was a single retrospective cohort study that focused on the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant S-1 with a 3-week schedule. A total of 60 patients who underwent total or subtotal gastrectomy plus D2 lymph node dissection and adjuvant S-1 treatment were identified. S-1 treatment began within 4 weeks after the operation; it was administered orally for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest. The dose of S-1 was adjusted depending on adverse events (AEs), with at least 80 mg administered daily. The completion of 1-year S-1 was defined as S-1 continuation for 1 year with over 70% of the planned dose. Patients were followed up with for 5 years postoperatively and underwent hematologic tests and assessments of clinical symptoms every 3-6 weeks for 1 year after surgery. Computed tomography of the abdomen and panendoscopy were performed every 6 months during the first 2 years and at 1-year intervals thereafter until year 5 after surgery. Results The completion rate of 1-year adjuvant S-1 was 71.7%, and the 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 70.2% and 79.5%, respectively. Seventeen patients did not complete S-1 for 1 year, including 11 patients with tumor recurrence and 6 patients who developed intolerance. Most AEs of S-1 were grade 1-2, and the most frequent AEs (>20%) included anemia, fatigue, pigmentation, nausea, and diarrhea. The most common grade 3-4 AE was fatigue, which was observed in 6.7% of patients. Most patients tolerated the side effects. Conclusions The results of our study confirm that the efficacy and safety of schedule modification of adjuvant S-1 treatment in patients with GC who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection are equal to those in a previous phase 3 study.

Analysis of the Factors Affecting Survival in the Patients who Underwent Curative-Intent Gastrectomy due to Gastric Adenocarcinoma. MEDICAL BULLETIN OF SISLI ETFAL HOSPITAL 2021; 55:23-32. [PMID: 33935532 PMCID: PMC8085450 DOI: 10.14744/semb.2020.14564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Objectives: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of clinicopathological factors on overall survival in the patients who underwent curative-intent gastrectomy due to gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods: The medical records of 644 patients who underwent gastrectomy between January 2007 and January 2017 in our clinic were retrospectively reviewed. Among these patients, 359 patients were included in this study. The impact of several prognostic factors on survival was investigated. Results: The mean age was 59.2±11.6 (29-83). Male/female ratio was 2.12. The median follow-up time was 19 months (CI=10.1-31.1). Median overall survival was 23±2.3 months (CI=18.3-27.6). Splenectomy, R1 (microscopically incomplete) resection, and advanced stage were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Conclusion: R1 resection, splenectomy, and advanced TNM stage were associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer. Splenectomy should be avoided in the absence of direct invasion of the tumour or metastasis of lymph nodes on splenic hilum to prevent postoperative infectious complication-related mortality.

Abstract
Simple Summary The p53 family is a complex family of transcription factors with different cellular functions that are involved in several physiological processes. A massive amount of data has been accumulated on their critical role in the tumorigenesis and the aggressiveness of cancers of different origins. If common features are observed, there are numerous specificities that may reflect particularities of the tissues from which the cancers originated. In this regard, gastric cancer tumorigenesis is rather remarkable, as it is induced by bacterial and viral infections, various chemical carcinogens, and familial genetic alterations, which provide an example of the variety of molecular mechanisms responsible for cell transformation and how they impact the p53 family. This review summarizes the knowledge gathered from over 40 years of research on the role of the p53 family in gastric cancer, which still displays one of the most elevated mortality rates amongst all types of cancers. Abstract Gastric cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers, with a median survival of 12 months. This illustrates its complexity and the lack of therapeutic options, such as personalized therapy, because predictive markers do not exist. Thus, gastric cancer remains mostly treated with cytotoxic chemotherapies. In addition, less than 20% of patients respond to immunotherapy. TP53 mutations are particularly frequent in gastric cancer (±50% and up to 70% in metastatic) and are considered an early event in the tumorigenic process. Alterations in the expression of other members of the p53 family, i.e., p63 and p73, have also been described. In this context, the role of the members of the p53 family and their isoforms have been investigated over the years, resulting in conflicting data. For instance, whether mutations of TP53 or the dysregulation of its homologs may represent biomarkers for aggressivity or response to therapy still remains a matter of debate. This uncertainty illustrates the lack of information on the molecular pathways involving the p53 family in gastric cancer. In this review, we summarize and discuss the most relevant molecular and clinical data on the role of the p53 family in gastric cancer and enumerate potential therapeutic innovative strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many studies have evaluated the prognostic significance of signet ring cell (SRC) histology for gastric cancer (GC) patients, the results were conflicting. The objective of this study was to compare clinicopathologic characteristics between SRC type and other types, and evaluate its impact on survival outcome. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinicopathologic and survival data of 1891 patients who underwent curative resection for GC. All patients were divided into differentiated, undifferentiated and SRC type according to the histological classification. The prognostic differences between different types were compared and clinicopathologic factors were analyzed. RESULTS SRC histology type had a poorer disease-free survival (DFS) than differentiated type (5-year DFS, 37.7% vs 52.2%, P<0.001), but there was no prognostic difference between SRC type and undifferentiated type (37.7% vs 41.9%, P>0.05). For early GC patients, SRC type was more frequent in younger, female patients and T1a stage tumors; the 5-year DFS of SRC type was similar to that of any other histology type (P>0.05). SRC type showed more aggressive biological features, including extensive stomach involvement, large tumor size, advanced pTstage and pN stage, than other types for locally advanced GC patients; poorer DFS was observed in SRC type compared with differentiated type. Multivariate analysis indicated that SRC type (HR:1.71, 95%CI:1.10-1.68, P<0.01) and undifferentiated type (HR:1.21, 95%CI:1.04-1.40, P<0.05) were independently associated with poor DFS in locally advanced GC patients. CONCLUSION There was a significant difference between early and locally advanced GC patients with regard to clinicopathologic features and prognostic significance of SRC histology. SRC type was an independent prognostic factor for locally advanced GC patients, but not for early GC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a key imaging technique in gastric cancer (GC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of EUS in the staging of parietal and lymph node involvement in linitis plastica (LP) compared to "classical" GC. METHODS A retrospective multicentric French study was conducted on patients with no metastatic LP and operated by gastrectomy. A 2/1 matching based on pTNM stage and center was performed with GC. RESULTS Forty-three patients were included, sixteen patients in the LP group and 27 in the control group. Sensitivity and specificity of EUS for diagnosis of T3-T4 parietal invasion were 77% and 100% respectively in the LP group and 89% and 56% respectively in the control group. Sensitivity and specificity of EUS for diagnosis of lymph node involvement were 73% and 80%, respectively in the LP group and 88% and 50%, respectively in the control group. Patients from LP group had significantly more advanced histological lesion, and frequent undiagnosed peritoneal carcinomatosis. CONCLUSIONS This study evaluated for the first time in a European population, the preoperative EUS performance in LP. Our study identified a similar sensitivity and specificity of the EUS in LP compared to "classical" GC paving for a broader use of EUS in preoperative settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRC), a subtype of adenocarcinoma, has been considered a histological type with poor survival. We aimed to compare the survival outcomes between patients with GSRC and patients with gastric non-signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (NGSRC) and constructed a nomogram to predict gastric adenocarcinoma-specific survival (GCSS). PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 10,031 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database and stratified them into two histological type groups: GSRC and NGSRC. We used propensity score matching and identified 4304 patients (training cohort) to assess the effect of the histological type on GCSS with Kaplan-Meier curves, and constructed a predictive nomogram. The accuracy of the nomogram was tested on the remaining 5727 patients (validation cohort) with concordance index (C-index) values, calibration curves, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS We found that the histological type SRC was not associated with significantly poor survival (5-year survival rate: 46.1% vs 46.7%, P = 0.822). GSRC patients had similar GCSS rates compared to those with NGSRC in each tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) stage (allP > 0.05). The nomogram showed that histological type was a relatively weak predictor of survival. The C-index value of the nomogram for predicting survival was 0.720, similar to that in the validation cohort (0.724). CONCLUSIONS Patients with GSRC had a similar prognosis to those with NGSRC. The proposed nomogram allowed a relatively accurate survival prediction for operable GA patients after gastrectomy.

Abstract
Background Advanced gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a specific type of malignant gastric cancer (GC) with distinct poorer survival. Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) is a promising neo-biomarker for the treatment of GC. Clinical trials of CLDN18.2-targeted antibody and T cell-based immunotherapy providing promising prospects for the treatment of GC. The effect of antibody therapy depended on the expression rate of CLDN18.2 has been found in clinical trials. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and the therapeutic value of CLDN18.2 in advanced gastric SRCC. Methods Expression of CLDN18.2 in 105 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and evaluated according to FAST criteria. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) using 416 pan-cancer genes panel was performed to characterize the genomic landscape in 61 advanced gastric SRCC patients. Fisher's exact test was used to determine gene differences in different CLDN18.2 expression levels. Results A total number of 105 advanced gastric SRCC samples were analyzed, of which 95.2% (100/105) were positive stained. Moderate-to-strong CLDN18.2 expression was observed in 64.8% (68/105) of all samples. In particularly, 21.0% (22/105) samples had positive staining in more than 90% tumor cells. No significance was found between CLDN18.2 expression and overall survival (OS). NGS results showed that single nucleotide variations (SNVs) could be frequently found in TP53 (26.2%), CDH1 (19.7%), MED12 (18.0%), PKHD1 (18.0%) and ARID1A (11.5%), besides, copy number variations (CNVs) were rich in NOTCH1 (18.0%) and FLT4 (9.8%) in SRCC samples. Moreover, SNVs in GRIN2A was found in 20% of the patients who had CLDN18.2 staining in <40% of tumor cells (P=0.043), indicating CLDN18.2 expression might be related to the aberration of GRIN2A in advanced gastric SRCC. Conclusions The highly expressed CLDN18.2 among advanced gastric SRCC patients that we found certified the value of CLDN18.2-targeted therapy in this specific type of GC. In addition, Analyses between CLDN18.2 expression and genetic abnormalities provided novel therapeutic options for advanced gastric SRCC.

Abstract
Background Signet ring cell containing gastric cancer (SRCGC) is a rare subtype of gastric cancer, and its adjuvant therapy is based on general gastric cancer. However, the effectiveness of radiotherapy for those SRCGC patients remains unknown. Purpose The purpose of the study was to analyze whether the addition of radiotherapy to adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) can benefit survival in resected SRCGC patients. Methods Patients with SRCGC, who underwent D2 gastrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (CRT), were retrospectively collected. According to the proportion of signet ring cells, patients were histologically classified as pure SRCGC (pSRCGC) containing 100% of signet ring cells, mixed SRCGC (mSRCGC) containing >50% of signet ring cells, and contaminated SRCGC (cSRCGC) containing <50% of signet ring cells. Among the 272 patients, 156 were treated by CT alone and 116 by CRT. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival rate (3-year OS rate). Results With a median follow-up of 80.5 months, the 3-year OS rate was significantly higher in the CT group (70.5% vs. 58.6%, HR = 0.633, P = 0.017) compared with CRT group. Three independent characteristics were predictive of a poor overall survival: CRT treatment (P = 0.019), tumor size ≥5 cm (P < 0.001), and the presence of vessel invasion (P = 0.009). Subgroup analyses showed CRT significantly impaired prognosis in SRCGC patients in the cSRCGC subset, as well as lesions located in lower-middle sites, subtotal gastrectomy, male, <60 year, and no vessel invasion. Peritoneal was the most common recurrence site in SRCGC patients. The adverse events leukopenia and neutropenia were more common in the CRT group (P = 0.007). Conclusions Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was associated with poor survival compared with adjuvant chemotherapy in SRCGC patients with D2 gastrectomy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach is prone to relapse and metastasis after traditional surgical treatment, and the prognosis is also poor. We improved the concept of treatment and conducted cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with intraperitoneal (IP) and intravenous (IV) chemotherapy for a gastric signet-cell carcinoma patient. PATIENT CONCERNS A 65-year-old male patient with complaint of intermittent hematemesis for over 10 days was referred to our hospital for treatment. The patient developed hematemesis of 800 mL without obvious causes on May 27, 2015, accompanied by dizziness and amaurosis fugax. After the bleeding was stopped with medicinal treatment, diagnostic gastroscopy revealed an ulcer at the less curvature of the stomach, with biopsy pathology diagnosis as severe atypical hyperplasia, which was confirmed to be poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma by a second biopsy. In past medical history, the patient had 5 coronary stents implanted because of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease 3 years ago. DIAGNOSIS Gastric cancer (cT4NxMx) according to the patient's history and biopsy pathology. INTERVENTIONS the patient was treated surgery-based multidisciplinary treatments integrating CRS + HIPEC and IP + IV adjuvant chemotherapy. The CRS was curative distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, and HIPEC was cisplatin 120 mg plus mitomycin C 30 mg at 43 °C, for 60 minutes. Final pathological diagnosis of after surgery was: poorly differentiate adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cells, with invasion beyond the serosal layer and into the duodenum, 10/23 lymph nodes positive, nerve invasion, vascular tumor thrombi, Borrmann type IV, Lauren type diffuse. TNM stage was pT4aN3M0, IIIC. After operation, the patient received 6 courses of IV chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil/Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium capsules, and IP chemotherapy with docetaxel and carboplatin. OUTCOMES Regular follow-up till July 20, 2020, revealed that the patient has a disease-free survival of over 61+ months. LESSONS CRS + HIPEC combined with IP + IV chemotherapy achieved long-term disease-free survival for this patient with gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma and deserve further study. This new treatment modality deserves appropriate consideration in routine clinical practice for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review relevant studies and perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic significance of signet ring cell (SRC) histology for gastric cancer (GC) patients. METHODS Systematic literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase databases. The relevant data were extracted and the association between SRC histology and survival outcome were evaluated using a fixed-effect or random-effect model. RESULTS A total of 21 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The prevalence of SRC histology varied from 8.7% to 50%. SRC histology type was associated with poorer OS (HR: 1.12, 95%CI: 1.01-1.23, P = 0.034; I2 = 85.1%) and DFS (HR: 1.17, 95%CI: 1.00-1.37, P = 0.040; I2 = 63.6%). The subgroup analysis indicated that SRC type had a better OS than non-SRC type for early GC patients (HR: 0.60, 95%CI: 0.48-0.75, P < 0.001; I2 = 33.7%). However, it was a poor prognostic factor for advanced GC when excluding stage IV patients (HR: 1.18, 95%CI: 1.07-1.29, P < 0.001; I2 = 6.5%). SRC type had a higher risk of peritoneal recurrence than non-SRC type (OR: 1.36, 95%CI: 1.06-1.75, P = 0.017; I2 = 1.3%). CONCLUSION SRC type had a distinctly different prognostic significance for early and advanced GC patients. SRC type was associated with better survival outcomes in early GC patients, but it was a predictive factor for poor survival in advanced GC patients.

Abstract
Background While the incidence of gastric cancer has decreased worldwide in recent decades, the incidence of poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC) is rising. The prognostic significance of gastric PCC remains a subject of debate. Objective To analyze the prognosis of gastric PCC in a Tunisian cohort. Methods A total of 122 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who underwent curative gastrectomy from 2001 to 2014 at Habib Thameur hospital in Tunis, Tunisia were included. The clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of PCC were analyzed in comparison with non PCC (NPCC). Results Sixty one patients (50%) presented PCC. Patients were younger in PCC group (p = 0,001). There was no difference in sex distribution between the two groups. PCC was more likely to be stage T4 (55.7% vs 34.4%; p = 0.033), N3 (67.8% vs 30%; p < 0.001) and have a higher metastatic lymph node ratio (p < 0.001). Hepatic metastases were more frequent in NPCC group (p = 0.031) whereas peritoneal carcinomatosis was more common in PCC group (p = 0.004). Perineural invasion was more frequent in PCC group (p = 0.001). Resection margins were more often positive in PCC group (31.1% vs 9.8%; p = 0.004). There was no difference in recurrence rate between the 2 groups (p = 0.348). The 5-year survival was similar in the NPCC and PCC (respectively 43% vs 23 %; p = 0.247). Survival rates were also comparable in early stage (100% vs 80% respectively for PCC and NPCC; p = 0.527) as well as for advanced stage (16% vs 35% respectively for PCC and NPCC; p = 0.538). PCC was not a prognostic factor for survival. Interestingly, advanced age, adjacent structures invasion, positive resection margins were specific prognostic factors for PCC. Conclusion In our study PCC was not a prognostic factor for survival. Advanced age, adjacent structures invasion and positive resection margins were specific prognostic features for this histological subtype.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (FDG) uptake patterns in primary tumors and metastatic lesions, and also to assess the diagnostic contribution of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the initial staging of gastric cancer (GC). Methods: The total number of 341 patients with GC were included in this study. All 18F-FDG PET/CT imagings were performed for initial staging. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of primary tumor, obtained from 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging was compared between subtypes of GC. Results: Mean SUVmax of 339 patients’ primary tumor was 12.9±8.6. The highest mean SUVmax was detected in patients with medullary subtype GC (17.8±9.9) while the lowest mean SUVmax (9.7±7.6) was seen in signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). The primary mean SUVmax was found statistically higher in tubular adenocarcinoma (TAC) group than SRCC group (p<0.001). Higher SUVmax values were found statistically significantly correlated with advanced age (aged ≥60) and increased tumor size (>3 cm) in patients with TAC (p=0.03). Primary tumor SUVmax was found statistically higher in regional lymph node (RLN) positive patients than in RLN negative patients in TAC and SRCC groups (p<0.001 and p=0.012, respectivelly). Also, in patients with SRCC, SUVmax was significantly higher in the distant metastatic group than in the group without metastasis (p=0.025). Conclusion: Increased primary tumor SUVmax was associated with some of clinical parameters such as age and RLN metastasis in patients with TAC. However, there was no relationship between distant metastatic state and primary tumor 18F-FDG uptake in TAC. However, high SUVmax of primary tumor in SRCC was associated with regional and distant metastasis, and primary tumor 18F-FDG uptake may be a prognostic value for this subgroup.

[PMID: 33371800 PMCID: PMC7780316 DOI: 10.1177/1533033820983812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Revised: 10/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
We do not know the clinical and prognostic factors that influence the survival of patients with gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC). Therefore, a retrospective review was undertaken of 219 patients with SRC who had undergone gastrectomy between January 2009 and December 2012 in our hospital. Patient age, sex, TNM stage, vessel carcinoma embolus, perineural invasion, tumor site and operation type, postoperative chemotherapy, and five-year overall survival were recorded and evaluated. In our study, 93 cases (42.5%) were signet ring cell carcinoma only, and 126 cases (57.5%) were signet ring cell carcinoma coexisting with other components (such as adenocarcinoma or mucus adenocarcinoma). Eighty-three patients were female, 136 were male, 46 occurred at the gastroesophageal junction (21.0%), 63 at the fundus/body (28.8%), 80 were antrum/pylorus (36.5%), and 30 were whole stomach (13.7%). The prognosis of gastric antrum/ pylorus cancer was the best (P < 0.05). There were 133 patients (60.7%) with stage III, and the single factor analysis showed that the earlier the stage, the better the prognosis. The overall five-year survival rate was 30.1% in all patients. One-hundred and 41 patients (64.4%) received D2 radical surgery, 64 (29.2%) received D1 radical operation, and 14 (6.4%) received palliative resection, and the patients who received D2 had the best overall survival (P < 0.05). The survival time of the paclitaxel-based regimen in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy tended to be prolonged. There was no statistical difference in overall survival between the percentage of signet-ring cells and sex. In summary, age, tumor stage, and surgical resection combined with D2 lymphadenectomy were independent prognostic factors for SRC. Adjuvant chemotherapy with a paclitaxel-based regimen may improve the survival of patients with SRC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the potential therapeutic role of postoperative radiotherapy (RT) in patients with locally advanced (stage II and stage III) gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with locally advanced gastric SRC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database between 2004 and 2012 were included in our study. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional models were performed, and survival curves were generated to evaluate the prognostic effect of postoperative RT and surgery alone on SRC patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to avoid selection bias among the study cohorts. RESULTS We found that patients with postoperative RT had better probability of survival compared with those who did not receive RT (overall survival [OS], P<0.001; cancer-specific survival [CSS], P<0.001). After PSM, analysis of both overall and CSS showed that patients who underwent postoperative RT had better prognosis than those receiving surgery alone in the matched cohort (OS, P=0.00079; CSS, P=0.0036). Multivariate Cox proportional model indicated that postoperative RT had better effect on prognosis compared with surgery alone with respect to both overall (hazard ratio [HR], 0.716; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.590-0.87; P=0.001) and CSS (HR, 0.713; 95% CI, 0.570-0.890; P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative RT had better prognosis compared with surgery alone for both overall and CSS for patients with locally advanced gastric SRC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary pancreatic signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare histologic variant of pancreatic carcinoma. A population-based analysis of pancreatic SRCC was performed to determine the predictive effects of epidemiological factors and treatment interventions on overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry was searched for pancreatic SRCC cases diagnosed between January 1, 1973 and December 31, 2013. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher exact test, χ(2) analysis, Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS The mean age among 497 patients was 66.6 years (SD, 11.9). Most patients were white (82.7%) and male (54.5%). The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 17%, 9%, and 4%, respectively, while the corresponding 1-, 2-, and 5-year rates for DSS were 18%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. On univariable analysis; age, site, grade, stage, and treatment were predictive of OS and DSS (P<0.05). On multivariable analysis; radiation improved OS and DSS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.592 and 0.589, respectively), pancreatectomy improved OS and DSS (aHR, 0.360 and 0.355, respectively), and combination therapy improved OS and DSS (aHR, 0.295 and 0.286, respectively). Age, site, and stage were also independent predictors of OS and DSS. Subgroup analysis demonstrated treatment to be an independent predictor of OS and DSS in localized/regional disease, in distant disease, and in patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2013. CONCLUSIONS Age, site, stage, and treatment independently predict OS and DSS in pancreatic SRCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is effective in select patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Signet ring cell (SRC) pathology is associated with poor prognosis. The role of CRS/HIPEC in this population is unclear. METHODS Patients diagnosed with PC due to appendiceal (AC), colorectal (CRC), and gastric cancer (GC) undergoing CRS/HIPEC 2007-2016 were included. RESULTS A total of 268 patients were referred for CRS/HIPEC. Of the 204 patients who underwent complete CRS/HIPEC, 101 (49.5%) had AC, 85 (41.7%) CRC, and 18 (8.8%) GC. Patients with GC had higher rates of SRC pathology than AC and CRC: 12 (66.7%) vs 16 (15.8%) and 10 (11.7%). The 3-year survival rate after CRS/HIPEC was 5.7% for the SRC group and 66.1% for the non-SRC group (P < 0.001). This was true for both AC and CRC subgroups (P < 0.001 for both). Overall, patients with SRC were more likely to have a peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score > 15 (P = 0.046). Upon multivariate analysis of the SRC population, PCI > 20 (P = 0.007) and GC (P = 0.008) were found to be independent predictors of poor overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Performing CRS/HIPEC for PC from gastrointestinal malignancies presenting SRC features is recommended on patients with select diseases of appendiceal and colorectal origins.

Abstract
Background Age is a prognostic factor for multiple malignancies. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of age on the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC). Material/Methods Information on patients with gastric SRC was extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Chi-squared tests were used to demonstrate distribution differences, and Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression models were used to analyze the impact of age on CSS. Results A total of 4596 patients were enrolled and divided into 3 subgroups according to age (<45, 45–74, and >74 years old). Higher percentages of T4, N2, and M1 disease were observed in the <45-year-old group (all P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier plots showed that the youngest group had the most favorable 5-year CSS rate (36.3%), which remained true after stratification according to tumor stage. Multivariate Cox regression models demonstrated a poorer survival outcome for >74-year-old than for <45-year-old patients (hazard ratio 1.841, 95% confidence interval 1.636–2.071; P<0.001). Conclusions Young age is associated with improved survival, even though younger patients generally present with a more advanced-stage disease.

Abstract
Background Computed tomography (CT) scan is a key imaging technique in the staging of gastric adenocarcinoma and therapeutic management of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of CT scan in the staging of parietal and metastatic invasion in gastric linitis plastica group. Methods A retrospective multicentric French study was conducted from January 2006 to December 2015 on patients with no metastatic gastric linitis plastica and operated by gastrec-tomy. A 2/1 matching based on pTNM stage and center was performed. Results Fifty patients were included in the linitis plastica group and 100 in the control group. Patients from the linitis group were significantly different from those from the control group with a lower age at diagnosis, a more advanced histological lesion, a more frequent undiagnosed peritoneal carcinomatosis, and a higher risk of R1 resection. Sensitivity and specificity of CT scan for the diagnosis of lymph node involvement were 44% and 75%, respectively, in the linitis plastica group and 55% and 60%, respectively, in the control group. The sensitivity and specificity of CT scan for the T3–T4 parietal invasion were 26% and 100%, respectively, in the linitis group and 40% and 72%, respectively, in the control group. Conclusion CT scan has an equal sensitivity and specificity for the evaluation of lymph node and parietal involvement in gastric adenocarcinoma, including linitis plastica. CT scan remains the cornerstone of preoperative evaluation in gastric adenocarcinoma, including linitis plastica. However, CT presents a lack of sensitivity to diagnose low-volume peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate recent trends in gastric cancer incidence, response to treatment, and overall survival among Alaska Native (AN) people. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the Alaska Native Medical Center patient database was performed. Patient history, clinical, pathological, response to treatment and patient outcomes were collected from one-hundred and thirty-two AN gastric cancer patients. The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result database 18 was used to collect comparison United States non-Hispanic White (NHW) and AN gastric cancer patient data between 2006-2014. RESULTS AN gastric cancer patients have a higher incidence rate, a poorer overall survival, and are diagnosed at a significantly younger age compared to NHW patients. AN patients differ from NHW patients in greater prevalence of non-cardia, diffuse subtype, and signet ring cell carcinomas. AN females were more likely to be diagnosed with later stage cancer, stage IV, compared to AN males. Diminished overall survival was observed among AN patients with increasing stage, O+ blood type, < 15 lymph nodes examined at resection, and no treatment. This study is the first report detailing the clinicopathologic features of gastric cancer in AN people with outcome data. CONCLUSION Our findings confirm the importance of early detection, treatment, and surgical resection for optimizing AN patient outcomes. Further research on early detection markers are warranted.

Abstract
Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) has specific epidemiology and oncogenesis in gastric cancer, however, with no systematical investigation for prognostic genomic features. Here we report a systematic investigation conducted in 1868 Chinese gastric cancer patients indicating that signet-ring cells content was related to multiple clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. We thus perform whole-genome sequencing on 32 pairs of SRC samples, and identify frequent CLDN18-ARHGAP26/6 fusion (25%). With 797 additional patients for validation, prevalence of CLDN18-ARHGAP26/6 fusion is noticed to be associated with signet-ring cell content, age at diagnosis, female/male ratio, and TNM stage. Importantly, patients with CLDN18-ARHGAP26/6 fusion have worse survival outcomes, and get no benefit from oxaliplatin/fluoropyrimidines-based chemotherapy, which is consistent with the fact of chemo-drug resistance acquired in CLDN18-ARHGAP26 introduced cell lines. Overall, this study provides insights into the clinical and genomic features of SRCC, and highlights the importance of frequent CLDN18-ARHGAP26/6 fusions in chemotherapy response for SRCC.

Incidence, Survival, and Predictors of Lymph Node Involvement in Early-Stage Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma in the US. J Gastrointest Surg 2018; 22:569-577. [PMID: 29313289 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-017-3500-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2017] [Accepted: 07/06/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence, survival, and propensity for nodal metastasis in early-stage gastric signet ring cell carcinoma have not been defined in the United States. These data are critical determinants for treatment allocation. METHODS Cases of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma were extracted from the national SEER database for the years 2004-2013. Age-standardized incidence was derived. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of nodal metastasis. Exclusion criteria included neoadjuvant radiotherapy and lack of histologic or nodal data. RESULTS A total of 10,624 cases were initially identified. The analysis cohort included 506 cases with early T-stage N0M0 disease following exclusions. The incidence was 0.094 per 100,000 person-years. The 5-year survival rate was 82.8%. Tumor stage (p < 0.001) and size (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of nodal metastasis. The incidence of nodal involvement for T1a tumors <2 cm was 5.4% (p < 0.004). CONCLUSION The incidence of potentially resectable signet ring gastric carcinoma has not changed significantly over the past decade. While presenting with predominantly high-grade histology, early T-stage disease has a high survival rate. Small T1a tumors have low rates of nodal metastasis, suggesting that an endoscopic resection could be considered in this subset.

J Cancer 2017; 8:3396-3404. [PMID: 29151922 PMCID: PMC5687152 DOI: 10.7150/jca.21017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2017] [Accepted: 08/31/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Previous studies of the prognostic value of the signet ring cell (SRC) type have yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, the aim of the present meta-analysis is to explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic value of SRCs. Methods: Relevant articles that compared SRC and non-SRC type in PubMed and Web of Science were comprehensively searched. Then, a meta-analysis was performed. Results: A total of 19 studies including 35947 cases were analyzed. Compared with non-SRC patients, SRC patients tended to be younger (WMD: -3.88, P=0.001) and predominantly female (OR: 1.60, P<0.001). Additionally, SRC patients exhibited less upper third tumor location (OR: 0.62, P<0.001) and less frequent hematogenous metastasis (OR: 0.41, P<0.001). There was no difference in overall survival (OS) between SRC and non-SRC patients in the total population (HR: 1.02, P=0.830). Early gastric cancer with SRCs was associated with better OS (HR: 0.57, P=0.002), while advanced gastric cancer with non-SRCs was associated with a worse prognosis (HR: 1.17, P<0.001). Conclusions: This meta-analysis revealed that SRC tends to affect young females and tends to be located in the middle and lower third of the stomach. Early SRCs are associated with better prognoses, while advanced SRCs are associated with worse prognoses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Signet ring cells (SRCs) can be seen in a variety of thyroid tumors and can pose a diagnostic pitfall on cytology. This study describes the cytologic, histomorphologic, and molecular aspects of a cohort of primary thyroid tumors with SRCs. METHODS A search was performed of the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, MA) pathology archives for the keywords thyroid, signet, and signet ring features between 2000 and 2014. Seven thyroidectomy specimens with corresponding thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) were obtained. Cytology and histopathology slides were evaluated. Molecular analysis was performed using anchored multiplex polymerase chain reaction (AMP). RESULTS The cohort consisted of four follicular adenomas (FAs), two noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTPs), and one secretory carcinoma (SC). The FNA diagnoses were atypia of undetermined significance (n = 3), suspicious for follicular neoplasm (n = 3), and suspicious for malignancy (n = 1). Molecular analyses revealed PTEN and FGFR3 mutations in an FA and NIFTP, respectively, and an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion in a case of primary thyroid gland SC. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates the range of thyroid tumors with SRCs. While most thyroid tumors with SRCs are benign, primary thyroid SC should also be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Background To investigate the clinical value of preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy (RT) in patients with rectal signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Methods Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program patients with stage II–III rectal SRCC were retrospectively included between 1988 and 2012. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to analyze the effect of preoperative and postoperative RT on cause-specific survival (CSS). Results A total of 292 patients were included: 138 patients received preoperative RT, 101 patients received postoperative RT, and 53 patients underwent surgery alone. Overall, 5– and 10-year CSS was 43.8 and 37.6%, respectively. Preliminary survival analysis demonstrated that preoperative RT improved CSS versus surgery alone, especially in patients with stage III disease. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that preoperative RT was independent predictors for CSS in stage III rectal SRCC. CSS in preoperative and postoperative RT groups was comparable. Conclusions Preoperative RT significantly improved survival outcomes in patients with stage III rectal SRCC.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of esophageal signet ring cell (SRC) carcinoma in China. Methods Patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma were identified in two hospitals from January 2006 to June 2016. The patients were divided into three groups according to component of SRCs: SRC≥50% group, SRC < 50% group and non-SRC poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma group. Results Fifty-seven patients had carcinoma (SRC≥50%), and 79 patients had tumors containing <50% SRCs, and 535 patients was in non-SRC poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma group. There were no significant differences among the three groups in clinicopathological characteristics. Patients in SRC≥50% group had a lower overall survival rate (at 3-year 37.6%versus71.1%; at 5-year 0% versus 43.3%; p<0.001) compared with the control group. Even survival outcome of patients in SRC < 50%was inferior to that of in control group (at 3-year 53.0%versus71.1%; at 5-year 25.9% versus 43.3%; p<0.001). Female sex, large tumor size and increasing TNM stage were independent prognostic factors for SRC ≥50% esophageal carcinoma patients. Conclusions The incidence of esophageal SRC carcinoma is relatively rare and the worst outcome is observed in the SRC≥ 50% group. It is necessary to explore new therapeutic modalities to achieve further improvements in the clinical outcome of these patients.

Abstract
Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma is a special type of gastric cancer. In recent years the incidence of gastric cancer has decreased, but the incidence of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma is still rising. Although a large number of studies reported the clinicopathologic features and oncogenesis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma, the results are inconsistent. This article mainly discusses the clinicopathologic features, prognosis, and molecular characteristics of oncogenesis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma to provide a basis and strategy for individualized treatment of this malignancy.

Abstract
Background Signet ring cells (SRCs) often accompany gastrointestinal carcinoma, referred to as SRC carcinoma; however, breast cancers containing SRCs have not been well characterized, leaving the prognostic significance of SRCs undetermined. We have described clinicopathological characteristics of patients with breast cancer containing SRCs in relation to the expression levels of MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, and MUC6. Methods Twenty-two breast cancer cases with variable degrees of SRC population were retrospectively studied. Each case was categorized as high (>31 %) or low (<30 %) SRC tumor. The SRCs were morphologically classified into the intra-cytoplasmic lumen (ICL) type, or the non-ICL type. The expression levels of MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC and MUC6 were determined immunohistochemically. Depending on its subcellular localization, MUC1 was categorized as the luminal and cytoplasmic (LC) type, or the cytoplasmic with circumferential membranous accentuation (CM) type. These histological findings were compared with other clinicopathological parameters. Results The series consisted of invasive ductal carcinoma (n = 9), invasive lobular carcinoma (n = 9), and mucinous carcinoma (n = 4) cases. The SRC population accounted for 8–81 % of the tumor cells. Eight cases had ICL type SRCs, and the remaining 14 had non-ICL type SRCs. Neither the high (n = 12) and low (n = 10) percentage of SRCs, nor the SRC types affected the clinicopathological parameters. In the low MUC1 group (n = 11), larger tumors, higher nuclear grade, lymph node metastasis, and negativity for estrogen receptor was more frequently identified compared to the high MUC1 group (n = 11; p = 0.01, p = 0.002, p = 0.008, and p = 0.02, respectively). The CM group (n = 7) had more patients with large-sized tumors, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, and higher Ki67 indices than the LC group (n = 15; p = 0.04, p = 0.001, p = 0.006, and p = 0.03, respectively). The expression levels of MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, and MUC6 showed no clinicopathological significance. Two patients with low MUC1 expression and CM patterns had tumor recurrence, resulting in death, while all the other patients survived without recurrence. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that in breast cancers containing SRCs, low MUC1 expression and/or its CM subcellular localization patterns are associated with unfavorable clinicopathological factors. The utility of MUC1 expression as a prognostic marker remains to be verified in future studies.
