Gastric adenocarcinoma peritoneal carcinomatosis: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

To describe the diagnosis, workup, management, and areas of active research for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) arising from gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). The peritoneum is a common site of metastasis and recurrence for GA. Unlike other cancers of the peritoneal surface, there are no approved locoregional techniques to address peritoneal disease in GA. PC has a unique natural history, therapeutic response, and outlook that sets it apart from solid organ metastases.

Methods

A search of PubMed and Google Scholar databases was performed for the terms "Gastric Adenocarcinoma Peritoneal Carcinomatosis" for English articles published between 2000 and October, 2021. A narrative review was undertaken to summarize literature pertaining to current diagnosis and management strategy of PC from GA. Future directions of diagnosis and treatment were discussed, including intraperitoneal chemotherapy and molecular diagnosis.

Key content and findings

Incidence of carcinomatosis varies between Asia and Western populations, driving important differences in therapeutic algorithms and clinical trial eligibility. Determination of the extent of PC is a diagnostic challenge, with surgical staging as the most important modality. Systemic chemotherapy is the standard of care for patients with carcinomatosis. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy holds promise for patients with PC, but techniques are still considered experimental due to the paucity of data demonstrating improved survival.

Conclusions

PC from gastric cancer represents both a significant clinical challenge and an area of great therapeutic potential.

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of gastric cancer

Project description:Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a frequent finding in patients with primary gastric cancer, and it is associated with a poor prognosis. A major mechanism in peritoneal carcinomatosis is the dissemination of cancer cells into the abdominal cavity, mainly in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma. The features that enable diffuse primary gastric tumours to develop peritoneal dissemination have been little investigated and are only incompletely understood. We therefore compared the gene expression profile in patients with diffuse primary gastric cancer with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis. Specimens from consecutive gastric cancer patients with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis were investigated using oligonucleotide microarrays. Keywords: Disease state analysis

Molecular fluorescence-guided surgery of peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin: A narrative review.

Project description:Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal origin may undergo cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as a curative approach. One major prognostic factor that affects survival is completeness of cytoreduction. Molecular Fluorescence Guided Surgery (MFGS) is a novel intraoperative imaging technique that may improve tumor identification in the future, potentially preventing over- and under-treatment in these patients. This narrative review outlines a chronological overview of MFGS development in patients with PC of colorectal origin.

Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis: a narrative review.

Project description:For recurrent ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), it is challenging to resect tumors completely or to get complete remission by intravenous (IV) chemotherapy, and many patients show the resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents for IV chemotherapy ultimately. As an alternative, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) has been introduced for treating the disease, which delivers chemotherapeutic agents as an aerosol form while maintaining high intraperitoneal (IP) pressure. Based on preclinical studies, PIPAC showed better penetration depth and distribution of drugs into the peritoneum in comparison to conventional IP chemotherapy. Tumor regression on histology and peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) has also been shown in relevant studies. In addition, most of the PIPAC procedures were completed successfully with acceptable toxicity due to the use of a low dose of chemotherapeutic agents. For considering these advantages of PIPAC, we review the current status of PIPAC for treating recurrent ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal cancer through literature review.

Photoimmunotherapy of gastric cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis in a mouse model.

Project description:Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is a new cancer treatment that combines the specificity of antibodies for targeting tumors with the toxicity induced by photosensitizers after exposure to near infrared (NIR) light. We performed PIT in a model of disseminated gastric cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis and monitored efficacy with in vivo GFP fluorescence imaging. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted with a HER2-expressing, GFP-expressing, gastric cancer cell line (N87-GFP). A conjugate comprised of a photosensitizer, IR-700, conjugated to trastuzumab (tra-IR700), followed by NIR light was used for PIT. In vitro PIT was evaluated by measuring cytotoxicity with dead staining and a decrease in GFP fluorescence. In vivo PIT was evaluated in a disseminated peritoneal carcinomatosis model and a flank xenograft using tumor volume measurements and GFP fluorescence intensity. In vivo anti-tumor effects of PIT were confirmed by significant reductions in tumor volume (at day 15, p<0.0001 vs. control) and GFP fluorescence intensity (flank model: at day 3, PIT treated vs. control p<0.01 and peritoneal disseminated model: at day 3 PIT treated vs. control, p<0.05). Cytotoxic effects in vitro were shown to be dependent on the light dose and caused necrotic cell rupture leading to GFP release and a decrease in fluorescence intensity in vitro. Thus, loss of GFP fluorescence served as a useful biomarker of cell necrosis after PIT.

RRAD expression in gastric and colorectal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Project description:The role of Ras-related associated with diabetes (RRAD) in gastric cancer (GC) or colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been investigated. We aimed to investigate the biological and clinical roles of RRAD in GC and CRC and to assess RRAD as a therapeutic target. A total of 31 cancer cell lines (17 GC cell lines, 14 CRC cell lines), 59 patient-derived cells (PDCs from 48 GC patients and 11 CRC patients), and 84 matched pairs of primary cancer tissue and non-tumor tissue were used to evaluate the role of RRAD in vitro and in vivo. RRAD expression was frequently increased in GC and CRC cell lines, and siRNA/shRNA-mediated RRAD inhibition induced significant decline of tumor cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. A synergistic effect of RRAD inhibition was generated by combined treatment with chemotherapy. Notably, RRAD expression was markedly increased in PDCs, and RRAD inhibition suppressed PDC proliferation. RRAD inhibition also resulted in reduced cell invasion, decreased expression of EMT markers, and decreased angiogenesis and levels of associated proteins including VEGF and ANGP2. Our study suggests that RRAD could be a novel therapeutic target for treatment of GC and CRC, especially in patients with peritoneal seeding.

Paracrine activation of MET promotes peritoneal carcinomatosis in scirrhous gastric cancer.

Project description:Scirrhous gastric cancer is associated with abundant stroma and frequently develops into peritoneal carcinomatosis with malignant ascites. Although malignant ascites is among the most deadly diseases worldwide, its molecular pathogenesis is poorly understood. We investigated the role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the production of peritoneal carcinomatosis with malignant ascites. We examined three scirrhous and three non-scirrhous human gastric cancer cell lines for the production of peritoneal carcinomatosis in vivo and responses to HGF in vitro. Furthermore, clinical scirrhous gastric cancer specimens were examined for HGF production. Among the six cell lines examined, only two scirrhous cell lines (NUGC4 and GCIY) produced peritoneal carcinomatosis with massive ascites after intraperitoneal injection in nude mice. Their proliferation was stimulated by exogenous HGF in vitro. On the other hand, a non-scirrhous cell line, MKN45, with MET amplification generated peritoneal tumors but not ascites. MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors, crizotinib and TAS-115, inhibited HGF-stimulated proliferation of NUGC4 and GCIY as well as constitutive proliferation of MKN45. Furthermore, crizotinib and TAS-115 prolonged the survival of mice bearing established tumors by NUGC4 or MKN45. In clinical specimens, HGF was markedly produced by stromal fibroblasts. Malignant ascitic fluids from patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis contained high levels of HGF. Our results strongly suggest that paracrine HGF-induced activation of MET-mediated signaling pathways plays an important role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal carcinomatosis in scirrhous gastric cancer. Thus, MET signaling pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer, even without MET amplification.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Project description:Several gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies have the potential to disseminate and grow in the peritoneal cavity. The occurrence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has been shown to significantly decrease overall survival in patients with liver and/or extraperitoneal metastases from gastrointestinal cancer. During the last three decades, the understanding of the biology and pathways of dissemination of tumors with intraperitoneal spread, and the understanding of the protective function of the peritoneal barrier against tumoral seeding, has prompted the concept that PC is a loco-regional disease: in absence of other systemic metastases, multimodal approaches combining aggressive cytoreductive surgery, intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy and systemic chemotherapy have been proposed and are actually considered promising methods to improve loco-regional control of the disease, and ultimately to increase survival. The aim of this review article is to present the evidence on treatment of PC in different tumors, in order to provide patients with a proper surgical and multidisciplinary treatment focused on optimal control of their locoregional disease.

Patient-derived cell lines and orthotopic mouse model of peritoneal carcinomatosis recapitulate molecular and phenotypic features of human gastric adenocarcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundGastric adenocarcinoma with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is therapy resistant and leads to poor survival. To study PC in depth, there is an urgent need to develop representative PC-derived cell lines and metastatic models to study molecular mechanisms of PC and for preclinical screening of new therapies.MethodsPC cell lines were developed from patient-derived PC cells. The tumorigenicity and metastatic potential were investigated by subcutaneously (PDXs) and orthotopically. Karyotyping, whole-exome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and functional studies were performed to molecularly define the cell lines and compare genomic and phenotypic features of PDX and donor PC cells.ResultsWe established three PC cell lines (GA0518, GA0804, and GA0825) and characterized them in vitro. The doubling times were 22, 39, and 37 h for GA0518, GA0804, and GA0825, respectively. Expression of cancer stem cell markers (CD44, ALDH1, CD133 and YAP1) and activation of oncogenes varied among the cell lines. All three PC cell lines formed PDXs. Interestingly, all three PC cell lines formed tumors in the patient derived orthotopic (PDO) model and GA0518 cell line consistently produced PC in mice. Moreover, PDXs recapitulated transcriptomic and phenotypic features of the donor PC cells. Finally, these cell lines were suitable for preclinical testing of chemotherapy and target agents in vitro and in vivo.ConclusionWe successfully established three patient-derived PC cell lines and an improved PDO model with high incidence of PC associated with malignant ascites. Thus, these cell lines and metastatic PDO model represent excellent resources for exploring metastatic mechanisms of PC in depth and for target drug screening and validation by interrogating GAC for translational studies.

Risk Scoring System to Predict Mortality in Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has a particularly unfavorable prognosis. This limited survival raises doubts about which factors confer an extremely worse outcome and which patients could benefit from more aggressive treatments, in an attempt to improve survival and better control the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the survival outcomes of patients with PC due to GC and develop a prognostic score to predict 6-month mortality. We performed an analysis of clinical stage IV GC with PC. Scores were assigned to risk factors and calculated for each patient from nine variables. Among 326 IVB GC, 211 (64.7%) had PC and were included. After calculating the score, 136 (64.5%) GCs were classified as a low-risk group and 75 (35.5%) as a high-risk group. Median OS was 7.9 and 1.9 months for low- and high-risk patients (p < 0.001). In the high-risk group, 77.3% of the patients died in <6 mo (p < 0.001). Palliative surgery and chemotherapy were associated with better survival, and the prognostic groups maintained statistical significance even when the same type of treatment was performed. In conclusion, the scoring system developed with variables related to patient performance status and clinical data was able to distinguish GC with PC with a high risk of 6-month mortality. Accordingly, verifying and validating our findings in a large cohort of patients is necessary to confirm and guarantee the external validation of the results.

Risk factors associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer in staging laparoscopy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Project description:Background The optimal indications of staging laparoscopy in gastric cancer to detect peritoneal carcinomatosis are still controversial. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the relevance of the preoperative factors with peritoneal carcinomatosis to explore the indications of staging laparoscopy. Materials and methods Systematic searches were conducted using Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library in December 2021. On the basis of calculating the odds ratio (OR) of each factor, we quantified the association between the risk factors and peritoneal carcinomatosis such as clinical T/N stage, Borrmann type, and tumor markers, using meta-analysis with a random-effects model. Results A total of 21 case-control studies and one cohort study were obtained. T stage, N stage, and differentiation degree were most widely studied, with OR values of 2.96 (95% CI: 1.87–4.69), 1.22 (95% CI: 0.86–1.73), and 1.91 (95% CI: 1.42–2.56), respectively. Among all the factors, elevated CA125 (OR = 19.45, 95% CI: 4.71–80.30), Borrmann type IV (OR = 7.68, 95% CI: 3.62–16.27), and large tumor diameter (OR = 5.12, 95% CI: 2.55–10.31) had the highest OR. In particular, CA125 had the best predictability for peritoneal carcinomatosis but was only mentioned by three articles. Conclusions There was a cognitive gap between the awareness and importance of risk factors for peritoneal carcinomatosis. In addition to T4 stage, patients with factors with high OR, such as Borrmann type IV, large tumor diameter, and elevated CA125, should undergo staging laparoscopy.
