Abstract
Simple Summary Purpose of the present study was to investigate the incidence of renal function impairment after adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer and the impact of radiotherapy on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) five years after gastric surgery. Of the 663 patients who were followed up for ≥5 years without disease recurrence and whose baseline kidney function was normal, only 2.0% of patients developed renal function impairment after adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer. While radiotherapy was negatively associated with the five-year eGFR in linear regression analysis, its impact was minimal if the kidneys were properly shielded. This study could serve as a partial basis for further research on radiation-related renal function impairment in patients who received radiotherapy for abdominal malignancy. Abstract We investigated the incidence of renal function impairment after adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer and analyzed the impact of radiotherapy on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) five years after gastric surgery. We reviewed the medical records of 1490 patients with stomach cancer who underwent curative surgery and adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer. Finally, we included 663 patients who were followed up for ≥5 years without disease recurrence and whose baseline eGFR was ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Logistic and linear regression analyses were performed to determine independent factors associated with the five-year eGFR. A total of 13 (2.0%) patients developed renal function impairment (five-year eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2). In logistic regression analysis, the baseline eGFR was identified as a prognostic factor for renal function impairment (odds ratio (OR), 0.878; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.831–0.927; p < 0.001), but radiotherapy was not (OR, 1.130; 95% CI, 0.366–3.491; p = 0.832). In linear regression analysis, age (B = −0.350, p < 0.001), baseline eGFR (B = 0.576, p < 0.001), cisplatin (B = −2.056, p = 0.010), and radiotherapy (B = −2.628, p < 0.001) were predictive variables for the five-year eGFR. Among patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy, age (B = −0.277, p < 0.001), hypertension (B = −4.986, p = 0.004), baseline eGFR (B = 0.665, p < 0.001), and volume of the kidneys receiving ≥20 Gy (B = −0.209, p = 0.012) were predictive variables for the five-year eGFR. Development of renal function impairment after adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer was rare among patients with normal baseline kidney function. While radiotherapy was negatively associated with the five-year eGFR, its impact would have been minimal if the kidneys were properly shielded. Further studies are needed to confirm the impact of radiotherapy in patients with poor kidney function.
