Summary: | The current understanding of clinicopathological features and genomic variants of small-bowel cancer is limited, in part due to the rarity of the disease. However, understanding of these factors is necessary for the development of novel therapeutic agents for small-bowel cancer. Thus, we aimed to identify the clinicopathological features and genomic variants associated with its prognosis and recurrence. We retrospectively examined 24 consecutive patients with primary small-bowel cancer surgically treated between May 2005 and August 2018 and collected 29 tumor specimens. The 29 lesions were subjected to mismatch repair status evaluation, using immunohistochemistry (IHC), and targeted genomic sequencing, after which they were analyzed using a panel of 90 cancer-related genes. IHC revealed that 45% (13/29) of the lesions exhibited deficient mismatch repair. The most common genomic variants in small-bowel cancers were in TP53 (48%, 13/27), followed by KRAS (44%, 12/27), ARID1A (33%, 9/27), PIK3CA (26%, 7/27), APC (26%, 7/27), and SMAD4, NOTCH3, CREBBP, PTCH1, and EP300 (22%, 6/27 each). Overall survival and disease-specific survival of patients with tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥10 mutations/Mb (n = 17) were significantly better than those of patients with TMB |
