Dejeu V, Dejeu P, Muresan A, Bradea P, Dejeu D. Analysis of Patient Outcomes following Curative R0 Multiorgan Resections for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3010. [PMID: 38792552 PMCID: PMC11121797 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13103010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: This systematic review examines the efficacy of multiorgan resection (MOR) in treating locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), focusing on survival outcomes, postoperative morbidity, and mortality. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of studies in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase up to November 2023, based on the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria focused on clinical trials, observational studies, case-control studies, and qualitative research, involving patients of any age and gender diagnosed with LAGC undergoing MOR aimed at R0 resection, with secondary outcomes focusing on survival rates, postoperative outcomes, and the effects of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies. Exclusion criteria ruled out non-human studies, research not specifically focused on LAGC patients undergoing MOR, and studies lacking clear, quantifiable outcomes. The quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The final analysis included twenty studies, involving a total of 2489 patients across a time span from 2001 to 2023. Results highlighted a significant variation in median survival times ranging from 10 to 27 months and R0 resection rates from 32.1% to 94.3%. Survival rates one-year post-R0 resection varied between 46.7% and 84.8%, with an adjusted weighted mean of 66.95%. Key predictors of reduced survival included esophageal invasion and peritoneal dissemination, the presence of more than six lymph nodes, and tumor sizes over 10 cm. Nevertheless, the meta-analysis revealed a significant heterogeneity (I2 = 87%), indicating substantial variability across studies, that might be caused by differences in surgical techniques, patient demographics, and treatment settings which influence survival outcomes. Results: The review underlines the important role of achieving R0 resection status in improving survival outcomes, despite the high risks associated with MOR. Variability across studies suggests that local practice patterns and patient demographics significantly influence results. Conclusions: The findings emphasize the need for aggressive surgical strategies to improve survival in LAGC treatment, highlighting the importance of achieving curative resection despite inherent challenges.

What determines complications and prognosis among patients subject to multivisceral resections for locally advanced gastric cancer? Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:442. [PMID: 37987850 PMCID: PMC10663187 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-03187-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) extending to the surrounding tissues may require a multivisceral resection (MVR) to provide the best chance of cure. However, little is known about how the extent of organ resection affects the risks and benefits of surgery. METHODS An electronic database of patients treated between 1996 and 2020 in an academic surgical centre was reviewed. MVRs were defined as partial or total gastrectomy combined with splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, or partial colectomy. RESULTS Suspected intraoperative tumour invasion of perigastric organs (cT4b) was found in 298 of 1476 patients with non-metastatic GC, and 218 were subject to MVRs, including the spleen (n = 126), pancreas (n = 51), and colon (n = 41). MVRs were associated with higher proportions of surgical and general complications, but not mortality. A nomogram was developed to predict the risk of major postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo's grade ≥ 3a), and the highest odds ratio for major morbidity identified by logistic regression modelling was found for distal pancreatectomy (2.53, 95% CI 1.23-5.19, P = 0.012) and colectomy (2.29, 95% CI 1.04-5.09, P = 0.035). Margin-positive resections were identified by the Cox proportional hazards model as the most important risk factor for patients' survival (hazard ratio 1.47, 95% CI 1.10-1.97). The extent of organ resection did not affect prognosis, but a MVR was the only factor reducing the risk of margin positivity (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.21-0.87). CONCLUSIONS The risk of multivisceral resections is associated with the organ being removed, but only MVRs increase the odds of complete tumour clearance for locally advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background: Multivisceral resection is occasionally necessary for pT4b gastric cancer patients to achieve negative margin. The purpose of this study is to assess the short-term safety and long-term efficacy of this approach. Methods: A single-center, retrospective analysis was conducted for pT4b gastric cancer patients after curative-intent multivisceral resection from the China National Cancer Center Gastric Cancer Database (NCCGCDB) from 1998 to 2018. The postoperative complications, recurrence patterns, long-term survival, and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: A total of 210 patients were included in the study. The most common combined resection organs were multiple organs (30.5%), pancreas (20.5%), colon (16.7%), and liver (9.0%). Seventeen patients (8.1%) developed postoperative complications and hospital death was observed in one patient (0.5%). The most common postoperative complications were anastomotic leak (4.3%) and intra-abdominal infection (5.7%). The 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates for the patients investigated were 38.0% and 33.8%, respectively, and the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 48.2% and 39.1%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis proved that negative nerve invasion was independent risk factors for DFS (HR: 2.202, 95%CI: 1.144-4.236, P=0.018) and OS (HR: 2.219, 95%CI: 1.164-4.231, P=0.015). Conclusions: Multivisceral resection in pT4b gastric cancer patients without distant metastasis was effective and had an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract
Background Immunoscore from tumor tissues was initially established to evaluate the prognosis of solid tumor patients. However, the feasibility of circulating immune score (cIS) for the prognosis of advanced gastrointestinal cancers (AGC) has not been reported. Material and methods Peripheral venous blood was collected from 64 untreated AGC patients. We utilized flow cytometry to determine several immune cell subpopulations, including CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, NK cells, and CD4 + CD25 + CD127low Tregs. The circulating immune score 1 (cIS1) was assessed according to the proportions of CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and NK cell, whereas circulating immune score 2 (cIS2) was derived from the proportions of CD4+, CD8+ T cell, and CD4 + CD25 + CD127low Tregs. The prognostic role of cIS for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox multivariate models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were depicted to compare the prognostic values of cIS1 and cIS2. Results AGC patients with high cIS1(≥ 2) and cIS2(≥ 2) had significantly longer PFS (cIS1: median PFS, 11 vs. 6.7 months, P = 0.001; cIS2: 12 vs. 5.8 months, P < 0.0001) and OS (cIS1: median OS, 12 vs. 7.9 months, P = 0.0004; cIS2: 12.8 vs. 7.4 months, P < 0.0001) than those with low cIS1 and low cIS2. The areas under ROC curves (AUROCs) of cIS1 and cIS2 for OS were 0.526 (95% confidence interval; 95% CI 0.326–0.726) and 0.603 (95% CI 0.427–0.779, P = 0.332), whereas AUROC of cIS2 for PFS was larger than that of cIS1 0.735 (95% CI 0.609–0.837) vs 0.625 (95% CI 0.495–0.743) (P = 0.04)). Conclusion The cIS can be applied to predict the prognosis of untreated AGC patients. Compared with cIS1, cIS2 displayed superior prognostic value for PFS prediction.

Nomogram to Predict Intensive Care Following Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Useful Clinical Tool to Guide the Decision-Making of Intensive Care Unit Admission. Front Oncol 2022; 11:641124. [PMID: 35087739 PMCID: PMC8787126 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.641124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to generate and validate a nomogram to predict patients most likely to require intensive care unit (ICU) admission following gastric cancer surgery to improve postoperative outcomes and optimize the allocation of medical resources. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 3,468 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer from January 2009 to June 2018. Here, 70.0% of the patients were randomly assigned to the training cohort, and 30.0% were assigned to the validation cohort. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was performed to screen out risk factors for ICU-specific care using the training cohort. Then, based on the results of LASSO regression analysis, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to establish the prediction nomogram. The calibration and discrimination of the nomogram were evaluated in the training cohort and validated in the validation cohort. Finally, the clinical usefulness was determined by decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Age, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, chronic pulmonary disease, heart disease, hypertension, combined organ resection, and preoperative and/or intraoperative blood transfusions were selected for the model. The concordance index (C-index) of the model was 0.843 in the training cohort and 0.831 in the validation cohort. The calibration curves of the ICU-specific care risk nomogram suggested great agreement in both training and validation cohorts. The DCA showed that the nomogram was clinically useful. CONCLUSIONS Age, ASA score, chronic pulmonary disease, heart disease, hypertension, combined organ resection, and preoperative and/or intraoperative blood transfusions were identified as risk factors for ICU-specific care after gastric surgery. A clinically friendly model was generated to identify those most likely to require intensive care.

Clinical significance of controlling nutritional status score (CONUT) in evaluating outcome of postoperative patients with gastric cancer. Sci Rep 2022; 12:93. [PMID: 34997105 PMCID: PMC8742112 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04128-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The stomach is the main digestive organ in humans. Patients with gastric cancer often develop digestive problems, which result in poor nutrition. Nutritional status is closely related to postoperative complications and quality of life (QoL) in patients with gastric cancer. The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is a novel tool to evaluate the nutritional status of patients. However, the relationship of the CONUT score with postoperative complications, QoL, and psychological status in patients with gastric cancer has not been investigated. The present follow-up study was conducted in 106 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy in our hospital between 2014 and 2019. The CONUT score, postoperative complications, psychological status, postoperative QoL scores, and overall survival (OS) of patients with gastric cancer were collected, and the relationship between them was analyzed. A significant correlation was observed between the CONUT score and postoperative complications of gastric cancer (P < 0.001), especially anastomotic leakage (P = 0.037). The multivariate regression analysis exhibited that the CONUT score (P = 0.002) is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. The CONUT score was correlated with the state anxiety questionnaire (S-AI) for evaluating psychological status (P = 0.032). However, further regression analysis exhibited that the CONUT score was not an independent risk factor for psychological status. Additionally, the CONUT score was associated with postoperative QoL. The multivariate regression analysis exhibited that the CONUT score was an independent risk factor for the global QoL (P = 0.048). Moreover, the efficiency of CONUT score, prognostic nutrition index, and serum albumin in evaluating complications, psychological status, and QoL was compared, and CONUT score was found to outperform the other measures (Area Under Curve, AUC = 0.7368). Furthermore, patients with high CONUT scores exhibited shorter OS than patients with low CONUT scores (P = 0.005). Additionally, the postoperative complications (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.21–0.92, P = 0.028), pathological stage (HR 2.26, 95% CI 1.26–4.06, P = 0.006), and global QoL (HR 15.24, 95% CI 3.22–72.06, P = 0.001) were associated with OS. The CONUT score can be used to assess the nutritional status of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery and is associated with the incidence of postoperative complications and QoL.
