Comparation of Endoscopic Biopsy and Postoperative Specimen for the Molecular Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer

Fudan University510 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to test the hypothesis that the diagnosis for histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status, and EBV status in gastric cancer is at least as reliable when performed on endoscopic biopsy specimens as on surgical resection specimens.

Most institutions currently diagnose gastric cancer on endoscopic biopsy specimens but use surgical resection specimens for histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status testing. However, gastric cancers treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy/chemotherapy may undergo a complete pathological response (pCR), with no residual tumors available for testing, and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy/chemotherapy may alter the HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status of the gastric cancer in some instances. Importantly, testing histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status of gastric cancer on endoscopic biopsy material could be initiated preoperatively, allowing resultant genetic information to be used in consultation with the patient to inform treatment decisions. Therefore, the preoperative endoscopic biopsy may be a source of suitable and reliable testing material. This study aims to investigate the correlation between histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status, and EBV status in preoperative endoscopic biopsy specimens and their corresponding surgical resection specimens and ascertain whether endoscopic biopsy specimen is a valid and reliable testing material for determining the histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status of gastric cancer.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diagnostic accuracy

The primary outcome of this trial is to investigate the correlation between histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status in pretreatment endoscopic biopsy specimens and their corresponding surgical resection specimens

Time frame: 2-year

Secondary Outcomes

The proportion of incomplete molecular pathology detection

incomplete molecular pathology detection defined as endoscopic biopsy specimens and surgical resection specimens from which the definitive histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status diagnosis cannot be rendered by the pathologist

Time frame: 2-year

Procedure duration

The total length of time for the diagnosis of histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status and EBV status performed on endoscopic biopsy specimens and surgical resection specimens will be documented(days).

Time frame: 2-year
