AIMS: Total gastrectomy for gastric cardia tumours harbours a high risk of proximal resection line (PRL) involvement. The adhesion markers CD44v6 and E-cadherin were evaluated as predictive factors for PRL involvement independent of tumour stage.
METHODS: Forty-nine gastrectomy specimens for gastric cardia carcinoma (type II) were evaluated for stage, resection margins, and CD44v6 and E-cadherin immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: PRL involvement was microscopically recognized in 49% of specimens. CD44v6 expression was found in 84% of intestinal tumours, and in 56% of diffuse/mixed tumours (p=0.045). In the group of resections performed with curative intent, the proximal extension of the resection (margin) was significantly shorter in E-cadherin negative tumours than in E-cadherin positive tumours (p=0.029). Histological type and stage of the tumour, lymph node metastases, and absence of E-cadherin expression, but not the presence of CD44v6 correlated with PRL involvement. Only the absence of E-cadherin expression appeared to be a significant predictor of PRL involvement, independent of tumour stage. Survival for patients with PRL involvement was shorter than that for patients after R0 resection (p=0.07). Stage was the only independent prognostic factor emerging from multivariate survival analysis (p=0.002).
CONCLUSIONS: When curative resection is intended in type II cardiac cancer patients, an oesophageal resection and gastric tube reconstruction should be considered, especially for a tumour without E-cadherin expression.
