Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Stomach That Was Diagnosed after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Abstract: A 52-year-old woman presented with stage IIB primary breast cancer (cT2N1M0), which was treated using neoadjuvant chemotherapy (epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel). However, the tumor persisted in patchy areas; therefore, we performed modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection. Routine endoscopy at 8 months revealed a depressed lesion on the gastric angle's greater curvature, and histology revealed signet ring cell proliferation. We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection for g… Show more

“…However, they can also present as a single mucosal lesion resembling primary gastric cancer. On endoscopy, mucosal involvement has been reported as flat, elevated, polypoid appearing lesions or as erosive ulcers with visualization of enlarged mucosal folds [16,17]. Such similar imaging features may be easily mistaken for primary GI malignancies.…”

“…Of note, the EUS-guided biopsy in our case was a mucosal biopsy and not a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. It is vital to distinguish between breast cancer metastasis to the stomach and primary gastric cancer because treatment for the metastatic tumor usually involves systemic chemotherapy rather than a local treatment for gastric lesions [7]. Taal et al reported that in a large series of 2000 endoscopic examinations, biopsies were negative in 20% patients with gastric metastases, which supports the notion that the differential diagnosis of the disease is an important strategy [8].…”

“…esses dados enfatizam que, para a realização de uma avaliação nutricional adequada, com maior precisão e acurácia, tal avaliação deve ser composta pelo maior número de parâmetros possíveis, tais como medidas antropométricas, exames laboratoriais e funcionais do paciente e pelo olhar subjetivo do profissional 20 . nesse contexto, é imprescindível considerar a presença de caquexia -síndrome multifatorial caracterizada pela redução progressiva e involuntária do peso corporal e de músculo, podendo ou não haver perda de gordura, além de aumento do catabolismo proteico, da morbidade e mortalidade 17 . essa condição é comum em pacientes com câncer avançado e afeta o desempenho e a qualidade de vida, estando associada a piores respostas ao tratamento.…”
