Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The cancer microenvironment is considered to be critically important for tumor development, progression, and therapeutic sensitivity. In particular, the stroma surrounding cancer cells (including immune cells, fibroblasts, and ECM) has been recognized as an important factor in characterizing cancer tissue, and basic and clinical data indicate that it may be a potential new therapeutic target. Therefore, we are pleased to invite authors to submit original papers and review articles that pathologically address cancer-specific biomarkers and cancer/stroma interactions (including immune cells, fibroblasts, and ECM) in the cancer microenvironment using surgically resected samples.

Dr. Takehiko Yokobori

A 70-year-old man was admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) for marked asthenia and severe anemia. In addition, a high level of lipase was found. During hospitalization, a locally advanced gastric cancer was diagnosed, with endoscopic evidence of a large polyploid formation originating under the cardias that occupied most of the gastric lumen. A total body CT scan was performed before surgery; the tumor affected the posterior gastric wall, with tenacious infiltration of the pancreatic body. Therefore, we performed a total gastrectomy with esophageal jejunum anastomosis and reconstruction of intestinal continuity according to Roux, distal spleno-pancreatectomy, and cholecystectomy. At histology, a pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) with full thickness infiltration of the gastric wall was diagnosed. Acinar cell carcinomas are highly aggressive neoplasms, and surgical resection, when feasible, is the treatment of choice regardless of size, also because the role of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemo- or radiotherapy remains uncodified.
