Microsatellite instability (MSI) is one of the leading mechanisms for the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. Its prognostic value is controversial.
Between May 1988 and Oct 2003, a total of 214 gastric cancer patients undergoing curative surgery were enrolled, and their MSI statuses were classified as MSI-H (high) or MSI-L/S (low/stable). The clinicopathologic characteristics of MSI-H and MSI-L/S gastric cancers were compared.
The MSI-H tumors accounted for 11.7 % (n = 25) of the 214 total gastric cancers. Although not statistically significant, the MSI-H gastric cancers were more frequently located in the lower third of the stomach (64 % vs. 49.2 %) and were more often the intestinal type (72 % vs. 61.4 %) compared to the MSI-L/S gastric cancers. The MSI-H gastric cancers had a significantly better 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (68 % vs. 47.6 %, p = 0.030) and a trend of a better 3-year disease-free survival rate (71.8 % vs. 55.2 %, p = 0.076) compared to the MSI-L/S gastric cancers. A multivariate analysis revealed that pathologic TNM stage and MSI status were the independent prognostic factors for OS after curative surgery.
Compared to MSI-L/S tumors, MSI-H tumors are associated with a better OS rate for gastric cancer patients after R0 resection.
微卫星不稳定性(MSI)是胃癌发生的主要机制之一。其预后价值存在争议。
1988 年 5 月至 2003 年 10 月,共纳入 214 例接受根治性手术的胃癌患者,并将其 MSI 状态分为 MSI-H(高)或 MSI-L/S(低/稳定)。比较 MSI-H 和 MSI-L/S 胃癌的临床病理特征。
MSI-H 肿瘤占 214 例胃癌的 11.7%(n=25)。尽管无统计学意义,但与 MSI-L/S 胃癌相比,MSI-H 胃癌更常位于胃的下三分之一(64%比 49.2%),且更常为肠型(72%比 61.4%)。与 MSI-L/S 胃癌相比,MSI-H 胃癌的 5 年总生存率(OS)明显更好(68%比 47.6%,p=0.030),且无病生存率(DFS)也有更好的趋势(71.8%比 55.2%,p=0.076)。多因素分析显示,病理 TNM 分期和 MSI 状态是根治性手术后 OS 的独立预后因素。
与 MSI-L/S 肿瘤相比,MSI-H 肿瘤与胃癌患者 R0 切除后更好的 OS 率相关。
