Abstract
Background: Papillary adenocarcinoma (Pap) is a relatively rare histological subtype of differentiated adenocarcinoma, and its biological behavior has not been fully elucidated. The present study aimed to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics of Pap.
Methods: This study retrospectively included 1701 patients with differentiated-type gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy at our institution between 2009 and 2021. Clinicopathological characteristics, recurrence patterns, and survival outcomes were compared between the two groups.
Results: Patients in the Pap group were older and showed higher rates of venous-and lymphatic invasion, as well as more advanced clinical and pathological stages. In the multivariate analysis of cumulative recurrence, histological type was identified as an independent predictor (HR 2.051, p = 0.037). The most common initial site of recurrence was the liver in both groups, with a significantly higher incidence observed in the Pap group (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis of overall survival, histological type was also identified as an independent prognostic factor (HR 1.962, p = 0.044).
Conclusions: Pap showed poorer survival than the Tub group, with a particularly higher incidence of liver metastasis recurrence.
背景:乳头状腺癌(Pap)是一种相对罕见的组织学亚型分化腺癌,其生物学行为尚未完全阐明。本研究旨在阐明Pap的临床病理特征。方法:本研究回顾性纳入2009年至2021年在我院行胃切除术的1701例分化型胃癌患者。比较两组患者的临床病理特征、复发模式和生存结果。结果:Pap组患者年龄较大,静脉和淋巴浸润率较高,临床和病理分期更晚。在累积复发的多变量分析中,组织学类型被确定为独立预测因子(HR 2.051, p = 0.037)。两组最常见的初始复发部位为肝脏,Pap组的发生率明显高于Tub组(p结论:Pap组的生存率低于Tub组,肝转移复发率特别高。
