Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resection for gastric stromal tumors. Methods The Literature published before November of 2010 was searched in PubMed, EMbase, Wiley Online Library, MEDLINE, CNKI, VIP, and CBM to identify the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs about laparoscopic versus open resection for gastric stromal tumors. The literature was screened according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria by two reviewers independently, and the methodology quality was evaluated after abstracting the data, then the RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analyses. Results Four quasi-RCTs and eight CCTs involving 496 patients were included. The results of Meta-analyses showed that, compared with the open resection surgery, the laparoscopic resection surgery significantly reduced the hospitalization duration (MD= –2.81, 95%CI –4.51 to –1.11), and the incidence of recurrence and metastasis (OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.13 to 1.01). No significant differences were found between the two groups in operation time, amount of bleeding, postoperative first flatus and oral intake, and total complication rate (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic resection surgery is safe to treat the patients with gastric stromal tumors, which may reduce the hospitalization duration and the incidence of recurrence and metastasis. Due to the poor quality and small sample size of included trials, more well-designed RCTs should be performed.
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics， diagnosis， and treatment of gastric stromal tumor. Methods Clinical data of 217 patients with gastric stromal tumor from October 2007 to July 2011 were analyzed. Results The main clinical manifestation were abdominal pain， abdominal distension， bloody stools， abdominal mass， and so on. The tumour located at cardiac part， fundus of stomach， body of stomach， and pylorus part was 24 cases （11.0%）， 103 cases （47.5%）， 59 cases （27.2%）， and 31 cases （14.3%）， respectively. All the 217 patients underwent endoscopic or surgical resection and diagnosed by pathology and immunohistochemistry. The patients of high-low risk， low risk， intermediate risk， and high risk was 56 cases （25.8%）， 67 cases （30.9%）， 41 cases （18.9%）， and 53 cases （24.4%）， respectively. One hundred and forty patients were followed-up for 7-52 months （average 35 months）. Thirty-five patients of high risk were investigated about the drug treatment after the first operation：19 cases were treated by using imatinib （tumor progressed in 2 cases） and 16 patients were not （tumor progressed in 9 patients）. The rate of progression of patients treated by imatinib was significantly lower than another group （χ2=8.426， P=0.004）. In 11 patients with tumor progressed， tumor recurrnce in 4 cases， tumor recurrence with diffused abdominal cavity metastasis in 1 case， tumor metastasized to humerus in 1 case， metastasized to liver and abdominal cavity in 1 case， and metastasized to liver in 4 cases. Conclusions Gastric stormal tumor is lack of specific clinical manifestations. Complete excision of the tumor is the main therapy method， and imatinib can improve prognosis.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic operation of gastric and gastroesophageal junction diseases. Methods Between May 2004 and June 2009, 59 patients with gastric and gastroesophageal diseases were treated laparoscopically. The operative methods and maneuvers were evaluated and perioperative interventions, complications and efficacy of patients were analyzed. Results All operations were successfully completed laparoscopically except for one patient with gastric cancer who required a conversion to open surgery. No short-term complications occurred in all cases. No port transplant metastasis occurred for the patients with gastric cancer after an average of 36 months (1-60 months) follow-up. One patient died of liver metastasis 12 months after operation. The 3-year survival rate was 93.3% (14/15). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery of the gastric and gastroesophageal junction diseases is feasible and safe with minimal invasiveness, which is worth popularizing.
ObjectiveTo compare the results of laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative resection and open surgery for gasric stromal tumor. MethodsFrom January 2010 to March 2015, the clinical data of 56 cases undergoing laparoscopic resection for gasric stromal tumor and 53 cases of traditional operation selected during the same period were retrospectively compared. ResultsThere was no significant difference between two groups in patient's gender, age, body weight, size of tumor, tumor staging, method of operation, intraoperative conditions, postoperative overall complications, local recurrence, and distant metastasis. There were 1 case with the rupture of tumor and 1 case of open surgery transforming in laparoscopic group. In another group, there was the absence of the rupture of tumors. There was no mortality, stomach bleeding, stenosis or leakage occurred between two groups. In laparoscopic group, there were less operative blood loss and abdominal drainage, shorter time of postoperative anal exhaust time, fewer anodyne, a reduction of hospital stay than in convention operation group.However, laparoscopic resection required greater hospital costs and longer operative time. There were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05). Conciusions With advantages of less blood loss and quicker recovery as compared to conventional operation. Laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative resection for gasric stromal tumor has similar effect when it is performed by well selection of cases, skilled surgeon with experience on open resection for surgical treatment of gastric stromal tumor.
Objective To discuss the value of 64-slice spiral CT （MSCT） in diagnosis of gastric stromal tumor （GST）. Methods Thirty-two patients proved GST by surgery and pathology from May 2010 to August 2011 in West China Hospital, Sichuan University were classified by Fletcher malignancy degree classification，the CT features including the location，size，boundary，shape，density，growth pattern，metastases，and enhancement and its relationships to GST malignancy degree were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 32 cases were single lesion，the accuracy of CT in localization was 100%. Nine cases were intra-luminal，10 were extra-luminal，and 13 were both intra- and extra-luminal growth. Nine cases were in low degree group，with diameter＜5cm，round or oval in shape，clear border, homogenous density and enhancement （7/9）；Twenty-three cases were in high degree group，with diameter ≥5cm in 19 cases，irregular in shape and indistinct bourdry （18/23），heterogeneous density （20/23） with necrosis，ulcer was seen in 6 cases. Three cases in high malignance degree group showed pancreas and spleen involvements，2 cases of left diaphragm involvement，1 of omentum metastasis，2 of liver metastases，and 1 of lymph node metastasis. Conclusions MSCT is the optimal method to exam GST，there is correlation between the CT features and malignancy degree，MSCT is helpful for analyzing malignancy degree preoperation.

Objective To explore the applying value of laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastric stromal tumors. Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with gastric stromal tumors between July 2007 and December 2009 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. And the laparoscopic resection was performed in all the patients. Results The laparoscopic resections were performed successfully in all the patients, and the tumors were completely resected. The length of operative incision on abdominal wall was 4－6 cm with average 5.3 cm. The mean operation time was 70 min. Postoperative recovery was smooth, no procedure related complications happened. The mean hospital stay was 7.2 d. Specimens of 20 cases were with CD117 (+), and 15 with CD34 (+) by immunohistochemistry. No recurrence or metastasis happened with average follow-up of 13 months (2－23 months). Conclusion Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastric stromal tumors could be performed safely, postoperative recovery quickly and effectively with the advantage of minimal invasiveness.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) risk classification in patients with gastric stromal tumors.MethodsClinical data of 108 patients with gastric stromal tumors admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from February 2010 to November 2016 were retrospectively collected. With the median of CAR as the critical value, patients were divided into high CAR group (CAR>0.048) and low CAR group (CAR≤0.048). Then observed the general clinicopathological characteristics and survival status of patients with higher and lower CAR value.ResultsThere were significant differences in NIH classification, tumor diameter, and mitosis between the high CAR group and low CAR group (P<0.05). Compared with the low CAR group, the tumors in the high CAR group had larger diameter, higher mitotic figure, and higher NIH grade. Survival analysis showed that the prognosis of the low CAR group was better than that of the high CAR group (χ2=15.152, P<0.001).ConclusionsCAR is closely related to the malignant index and NIH risk classification of gastric stromal tumors. It can be used as an index for evaluating the malignant degree of gastric stromal tumors, and it is expected to be an important reference factor for clinical NIH risk classification and prognosis.
