Hayashi M, Fujita T, Matsushita H. Prognostic Relevance of Recurrent Sites of Gastric Cancer Treated With Curative Resection: A Single Center Retrospective Study. J Gastric Cancer 2024; 24:291-299. [PMID: 38960888 PMCID: PMC11224719 DOI: 10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Gastric cancer treated with curative resection exhibits several recurrence patterns. The peritoneum is the most common site of recurrence. Some reports have indicated different prognostic influences according to the recurrence sites in other cancers, such as esophageal and colorectal cancers. This study investigated whether the recurrence sites influenced the prognosis of patients with recurrent gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of 115 patients who experienced tumor recurrence after curative gastrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The sites of recurrence were divided into 4 groups: lymph node (LN), peritoneum, other single organs, and multiple lesions. Clinicopathological features were compared between the sites of recurrence. Prognosis after resection and recurrence were also compared. RESULTS The peritoneum was the primary site of recurrence in 38 patients (33%). The tumor differentiation and pathological stages were significantly different. Survival after surgery did not show a statistically significant difference (hazard ratio [HR] of LN: 1, peritoneum: 1.083, other single organs: 1.025, and multiple lesions: 1.058; P=1.00). Survival after recurrence was significantly different (HR of LN, 1; peritoneum, 2.164; other single organs, 1.092; multiple lesions, 1.554; P=0.01), and patients with peritoneal and multiple lesion recurrences had worse prognosis. Furthermore, peritoneal recurrence seemed to occur later than that at other sites; the median times to recurrence in LN, peritoneal, other single-organ, and multiple lesions were 265, 722, 372, and 325 days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The sites of gastric cancer recurrence may have different prognostic effects. Peritoneal recurrence may be less sensitive to chemotherapy and occur during the late phase of recurrence.

Adjuvant and post-recurrent treatment patterns in patients with resectable gastric cancer in japan: a retrospective database cohort study. Gastric Cancer 2024; 27:827-839. [PMID: 38689045 PMCID: PMC11193688 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-024-01501-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined temporal shifts in adjuvant therapy patterns in Japanese patients with resectable gastric cancer (GC) and treatment patterns of first-line and subsequent therapy among those with recurrent disease. METHODS This retrospective analysis of hospital-based administrative claims data (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2022) included adults (aged ≥ 20 years) with GC who started adjuvant therapy on or after October 1, 2008 (adjuvant cohort) and patients in the adjuvant cohort with disease recurrence (recurrent cohort), further defined by the time to recurrence (≤ 180 or > 180 days after adjuvant therapy). RESULTS In the adjuvant cohort (n = 17,062), the most common regimen during October 2008-May 2016 was tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium (S-1; 95.7%). As new standard adjuvant regimen options were established, adjuvant S-1 use decreased to 65.0% and fluoropyrimidine plus oxaliplatin or docetaxel plus S-1 use increased to 15.0% and 20.0%, respectively, in September 2019-March 2022. In the recurrent cohort with no history of trastuzumab/trastuzumab deruxtecan treatment (n = 1257), the most common first-line regimens were paclitaxel plus ramucirumab (34.0%), capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CapeOX; 17.0%), and nab-paclitaxel plus ramucirumab (10.1%) in patients with early recurrence, and S-1 plus oxaliplatin (26.3%), S-1 plus cisplatin (15.3%), CapeOX (14.0%), S-1 (13.2%), and paclitaxel plus ramucirumab (10.8%) in those with late recurrence. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated temporal shifts in adjuvant treatment patterns that followed the establishment of novel regimens, and confirmed that post-recurrent treatment patterns were consistent with the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association guideline recommendations.

Abstract
To investigate the safety and efficacy of the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) followed by neoadjuvant consolidation chemotherapy (NCCT) and surgery for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Patients diagnosed as locally advanced GC or Siewert II/III GEJ adenocarcinoma with clinical stage T3-4 and/or N positive were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent NCRT (45 Gy/25 fractions) with concurrent S-1, followed by NCCT (4 to 6 cycles of the SOX regimen) 2 to 4 weeks after NCRT. Gastric cancer radical resection with D2 lymph node dissection was performed 4 to 6 weeks after the total neoadjuvant therapy. The study was conducted from November 2019 to January 2023, enrolling a total of 46 patients. During the NCRT, all patients completed the treatment without dose reduction or delay. During the NCCT, 32 patients (69.6%) completed at least 4 cycles of chemotherapy. Grade 3 or higher adverse events in NCRT (5 cases) were non-hematological. During the course of NCCT, a notable occurrence of hematological toxicities was observed, with grade 3 or higher leukopenia (9.7%) and thrombocytopenia (12.2%) being experienced. A total of 28 patients (60.9%) underwent surgery, achieving R0 resection in all cases. A significant proportion of cases (71.4%) exhibited pathological downstaging to ypT0-2, while 10 patients (35.7%) demonstrated a pathologic complete response (pCR). The total neoadjuvant therapy comprising NCRT followed by NCCT and surgery demonstrates a low severe adverse reactions and promising efficacy, which could be considered as a viable treatment for locally advanced GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov (registration number: NCT04062058); the full date of first trial registration was 20/08/2019.

Short-term outcomes of preoperative chemotherapy with docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 for gastric cancer with extensive lymph node metastasis (JCOG1704). Gastric Cancer 2024; 27:366-374. [PMID: 38180622 PMCID: PMC10896774 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-023-01453-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis for marginally resectable gastric cancer with extensive lymph node metastasis (ELM) remains unfavorable, even after R0 resection. To assess the safety and efficacy of preoperative docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 (DOS), we conducted a multicenter phase II trial. METHODS Eligibility criteria included histologically proven HER2-negative gastric adenocarcinoma with bulky nodal (bulky N) involvement around major branched arteries or para-aortic node (PAN) metastases. Patients received three cycles of docetaxel (40 mg/m2, day 1), oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2, day 1), and S-1 (80-120 mg/body, days 1-14), followed by gastrectomy with D2 plus PAN dissection. Subsequently, patients underwent postoperative chemotherapy with S-1 for 1 year. The primary endpoint was major (grade ≥ 2a) pathological response rate (pRR) according to the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma criteria. RESULTS Between October 2018 and March 2022, 47 patients (bulky N, 20; PAN, 17; both, 10) were enrolled in the trial. One patient was ineligible. Another declined any protocol treatments before initiation. Among the 45 eligible patients who initiated DOS chemotherapy, 44 (98%) completed 3 cycles and 42 (93%) underwent R0 resection. Major pRR and pathological complete response rates among the 46 eligible patients, including the patient who declined treatment, were 57% (26/46) and 24% (11/46), respectively. Common grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (24%), anorexia (16%), febrile neutropenia (9%), and diarrhea (9%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative chemotherapy with DOS yielded favorable pathological responses with an acceptable toxicity profile. This multimodal approach is highly promising for treating gastric cancer with ELM.

The Efficacy and Safety of Nivolumab Plus mFOLFOX6 in Gastric Cancer with Severe Peritoneal Metastasis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:834. [PMID: 38337528 PMCID: PMC10856034 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13030834] [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: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Nivolumab plus chemotherapy is established as a first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). While mFOLFOX6 is commonly used for AGC with severe peritoneal metastasis, the efficacy of nivolumab combined with it remains uncertain. We evaluated the outcomes of nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6 for AGC with severe peritoneal metastasis in clinical practice. (2) Methods: This multicenter retrospective study was conducted between December 2021 and June 2023. We investigated AGC patients with massive ascites or inadequate oral intake due to severe peritoneal metastasis and who received nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6. (3) Results: Among 106 patients treated with nivolumab plus chemotherapy, 21 (19.8%) had severe peritoneal metastasis, with 14 receiving nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6. The median progression-free survival was 7.4 months (95%CI 1.9-10.1), and the median overall survival was 10.7 months (95%CI 5.3-NA), with four patients (28.5%) surviving more than 12 months. Improved ascites and oral intake were observed in 6/14 patients (42.8%) and 10/11 patients (90.9%), respectively. The major grade 3 or more adverse events included leukopenia (28.5%) and neutropenia (21.4%), with no severe immune-related adverse events reported. (4) Conclusions: The safety and moderate efficacy of nivolumab plus mFOLFOX6 were suggested even in AGC patients with severe peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The research aimed to construct a novel predictive nomogram to identify specific metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (mGAC) populations who could benefit from primary tumor resection (PTR). METHOD Patients with mGAC were included in the SEER database and divided into PTR and non-PTR groups. The Kaplan-Meier analysis, propensity score matching (PSM), least absolute shrink and selection operator (LASSO) regression, multivariable logistic regression, and multivariate Cox regression methods were then used. Finally, the prediction nomograms were built and tested. RESULTS 3185 patients with mGAC were enrolled. Among the patients, 679 cases underwent PTR while the other 2506 patients didn't receive PTR. After PSM, the patients in the PTR group presented longer median overall survival (15.0 vs. 7.0 months, p < 0.001). Among the PTR group, 307 (72.9%) patients obtained longer overall survival than seven months (beneficial group). Then the LASSO logistic regression was performed, and gender, grade, T stage, N stage, pathology, and chemotherapy were included to construct the nomogram. In both the training and validation cohorts, the nomogram exhibited good discrimination (AUC: 0.761 and 0.753, respectively). Furthermore, the other nomogram was constructed to predict 3-, 6-, and 12-month cancer-specific survival based on the variables from the multivariate Cox analysis. The 3-, 6-, and 12-month AUC values were 0.794, 0.739, and 0.698 in the training cohort, and 0.805, 0.759, and 0.695 in the validation cohorts. The calibration curves demonstrated relatively good consistency between the predicted and observed probabilities of survival in two nomograms. The models' clinical utility was revealed through decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION The benefit nomogram could guide surgeons in decision-making and selecting optimal candidates for PTR among mGAC patients. And the prognostic nomogram presented great prediction ability for these patients.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathologic features and treatment outcomes of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis from gastric cancer. METHODS A total of 419 patients diagnosed with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer at Kochi Medical School between January 2007 and December 2021 were evaluated. Data of patients were reviewed, and clinicopathological information and survival outcomes of those with CNS metastases were compared to patients without CNS metastases. RESULTS In total, 12/419 (2.9%) patients (median age: 66.5 years [range, 41-82 years]) were diagnosed with CNS metastasis from gastric cancer. Eleven had diffuse-type gastric cancer which was significantly more common than in those without CNS metastasis (91% vs. 61%, p = .034). Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status was positive in one of the 12 patients. The median survival time was significantly lower for patients with CNS metastasis than for those without CNS metastasis (1.8 months vs. 11.4 months, p < .001). The median survival time for patients who underwent surgical resection, radiation, or chemotherapy for CNS metastasis was significantly higher than those who received only best supportive care (3.5 months vs. .6 months; p = .007). CONCLUSIONS CNS metastasis was found in 2.9% (12/419) of patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. Diffuse-type histology was a risk factor for CNS metastasis. Multidisciplinary treatment, including surgical resection, radiation treatment, or chemotherapy, for CNS metastasis from gastric cancer may benefit selected patients.

Doxifluridine versus Tegafur/Gimeracil/Oteracil (S-1) as adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with gastric cancer after gastrectomy: A propensity score-matched analysis. Asian J Surg 2023; 46:3656-3662. [PMID: 37002050 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2023.03.065] [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: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Doxifluridine (DF), an oral 5-FU prodrug, has been used for various solid cancers due to its efficacy and low toxicity. We aim to evaluate the effect of DF as adjuvant monotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 263 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2010 and December 2013 at our institute. Since previous randomized control trials have confirmed the efficacy of S-1 as adjuvant chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer, we analyzed the oncologic effect and patient compliance of the DF group compared to the S-1 group. After propensity score matching, 48 patients were included in each group. RESULTS There was no significant difference in 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) between DF and S-1 groups (5-year OS; 77.1% vs 75.0%; p = 0.729, 5-year DFS; 76.6% vs 73.9%; p = 0.748). The completion rates of the DF and S-1 groups were 60.4% and 72.9%, respectively (p = 0.194). The mean relative dose intensity of the DF and S-1 groups were 76.2% and 84.2%, respectively (p = 0.195). After multivariate analysis, the chemotherapy regimen was not a risk factor for OS and DFS, whereas relative dose intensity and pathologic stage were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in the oncologic effect and patient compliance between DF and S-1 groups. DF could be an alternative option for adjuvant chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. In addition, we confirmed that relative dose intensity is an important independent prognostic factor for survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess S-1 and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-related adverse events in patients with advanced gastric cancer and provide focused health care approaches to improve patient compliance and quality of survival. METHODS The PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Cochrane Library, EMbase, SinoMed, Wan Fang Data, CNKI, and VIP databases were searched, and relevant literature was screened from the database construction date through March 31, 2023. Review Manager 5.4.1 and Stata 12.0 were used to analyze the data and GRADEpro was used to assess the quality of the literature. Relative risk ratio (RR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI) were employed as markers to compare adverse events due to S-1 vs 5-FU. RESULTS Eight randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included, which contained 3,455 patients. The S-1 group had 1,804 patients, and the 5-FU group had 1,651 patients. There were 17 recorded adverse events in total. Stomatitis, hypokalemia, mucosal inflammation, and hypophosphatemia were more common in the 5-FU group than in the S-1 group (P < 0.001). No significant difference was observed between S-1 and 5-FU for other adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Although both S-1 and 5-FU cause a variety of side effects, 5-FU resulted in a higher incidence of stomatitis, hypokalemia, mucosal inflammation, and hypophosphatemia than S-1. Medical professionals should closely monitor the occurrence of adverse drug events and provide timely, rational guidance and nursing care to improve patient compliance and quality of life.

A Novel Hematological Inflammation-Nutrition Score (HINS) and Its Related Nomogram Model to Predict Survival Outcome in Advanced Gastric Cancer Patients Receiving First-Line Palliative Chemotherapy. J Inflamm Res 2023; 16:2929-2946. [PMID: 37465343 PMCID: PMC10350431 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s417798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to construct a novel hematological inflammation-nutrition score (HINS) and investigate its prognostic value in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). We investigated the risk stratification performance of HINS and developed a HINS-based nomogram model to predict overall survival by combining traditional predictors. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective study on 812 AGC patients who received first-line platinum- or fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Hospital between 2014 and 2019. Patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (N=609) and a validation cohort (N=203). HINS (0-2) was constructed based on a pre-chemotherapy systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and albumin (ALB). Prognostic factors were screened by univariate and multivariate COX proportional regression models. Significant factors were used to construct a nomogram model. Internal validation was performed by calibration curves, time-dependent receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA), evaluating its prediction consistency, discrimination ability, and clinical net benefit. Results HINS was constructed based on SII and ALB. HINS showed a better stratification ability than JCOG prognostic index, with significant differences between groups. Multivariate analysis showed that ECOG ≥1 (HR: 1.379; P=0.005), Stage IV (HR: 1.581; P <0.001), diffuse-type histology (HR: 1.586; P <0.001), number of metastases ≥2 (HR: 1.274; P=0.038), without prior gastrectomy (HR: 1.830; P <0.001), ALP ≥ULN (HR: 1.335; P=0.034), HINS (P <0.001) were independent factors of OS. We successfully established a HINS-based nomogram model that showed a strong discriminative ability, accuracy, and clinical utility in training and validation cohorts. Conclusion HINS shows a superior risk stratification ability, which might be a potential prognostic biomarker for AGC patients receiving palliative first-line palliative chemotherapy. The HINS-based nomogram model is a convenient and efficient tool for managing prognosis and follow-up treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with 5-fluorouracil plus mitomycin-C is a standard treatment for stage II/III squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA). We performed this dose-finding and single-arm confirmatory trial of CRT with S-1 plus mitomycin-C to determine the recommended dose (RD) of S-1 and evaluate its efficacy and safety for locally advanced SCCA. METHODS Patients with clinical stage II/III SCCA (UICC 6th) received CRT comprising mitomycin-C (10 mg/m2 on days 1 and 29) and S-1 (60 mg/m2/day at level 0 and 80 mg/m2/day at level 1 on days 1-14 and 29-42) with concurrent radiotherapy (59.4 Gy). Dose-finding used a 3 + 3 cohort design. The primary endpoint of the confirmatory trial was 3-year event-free survival. The sample size was 65, with one-sided alpha of 5%, power of 80%, and expected and threshold values of 75% and 60%, respectively. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients (dose-finding, n = 10; confirmatory, n = 59) were enrolled. The RD of S-1 was determined as 80 mg/m2/day. Three-year event-free survival in 63 eligible patients who received the RD was 65.0% (90% confidence interval 54.1-73.9). Three-year overall, progression-free, and colostomy-free survival rates were 87.3%, 85.7%, and 76.2%, respectively; the complete response rate was 81% on central review. Common grade 3/4 acute toxicities were leukopenia (63.1%), neutropenia (40.0%), diarrhea (20.0%), radiation dermatitis (15.4%), and febrile neutropenia (3.1%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS Although the primary endpoint was not met, S-1/mitomycin-C chemoradiotherapy had an acceptable toxicity profile and favorable 3-year survival and could be a treatment option for locally advanced SCCA.

Abstract
In the last 20 years, the development of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDS) has received great attention. Hydrogel microparticles represent one of the candidates with the most potential. However, if the role of the cross-linking method, polymer composition, and concentration on their performance as DDS has been well-studied, still, a lot needs to be explained regarding the effect caused by the morphology. To investigate this, herein, we report the fabrication of PEGDA-ALMA-based microgels with spherical and asymmetric shapes for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on-demand loading and in vitro pH-triggered release. Due to anisotropic properties, the asymmetric particles showed an increased drug adsorption and higher pH responsiveness, which in turn led to a higher desorption efficacy at the target pH environment, making them an ideal candidate for oral administration of 5-FU in colorectal cancer. The cytotoxicity of empty spherical microgels was higher than the cytotoxicity of empty asymmetric microgels, suggesting that the gel network's mechanical proprieties of anisotropic particles were a better three-dimensional environment for the vital functions of cells. Upon treatment with drug-loaded microgels, the HeLa cells' viability was lower after incubation with asymmetric particles, confirming a minor release of 5-FU from spherical particles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Neo-REGATTA study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of Docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 (DOS regimen) followed by radical resection vs. chemotherapy in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma patients with single non-curable factor. METHODS This cohort study prospectively enrolled advanced gastric adenocarcinoma patients with single non-curable factor between November 2017 and June 2021. Patients without progression after four cycles of DOS were divided into resection group and chemotherapy group. The outcomes included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Effectiveness analysis was also performed by propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS A total of 73 patients were enrolled and 13 patients were withdrawn due to disease progression after 4 cycles of DOS. Afterwards, 35 and 25 participants were in the resection and chemotherapy groups, respectively. After a median follow-up time of 30.0 months, the median PFS and OS were 9.0 months, and 18.0 months for the chemotherapy group, but not reached in the resection group. After PSM, 19 matched participants were in each group, and the median PFS and OS were longer in resection group than that in chemotherapy group. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events both in the resection group and chemotherapy groups were neutropenia (5.7%, 8.0%) and leukopenia (5.7%, 8.0%). CONCLUSIONS Radical resection might provide survival benefit compared with continuous chemotherapy alone in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma patients who had a disease control after DOS, with a good safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered on ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT03001726, 23/12/2016).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leakage at the esophagojejunal anastomosis site is an important postoperative complication of total gastrectomy. We analyzed our surgical cases to determine the risk factors for esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage. METHODS This study included 309 patients who underwent total gastrectomy and esophagojejunal anastomosis. The onset of esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage according to age, gender, performance status, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, body mass index, presence or absence of diabetes, invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, histological type, presence or absence of esophageal infiltration, operative duration, amount of blood loss, experience of blood transfusion, procedural approach, and the prognostic nutritional index was analyzed. RESULTS Univariate analyses revealed a significant difference in the rate of esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage due to advanced age, male gender, the presence of diabetes, the presence of esophageal infiltration, and blood loss ≥1,100 g. In the multivariate analysis, which included factors identified in the univariate analyses, advanced age, male gender, the presence of diabetes, and blood loss ≥1,100 g were identified as independent risk factors for esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage. CONCLUSIONS Advanced age (≥68 years), male gender, diabetes, and massive blood loss are risk factors for esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage.

Evaluating the efficacy of post-operative chemotherapy after curative resection of stage IV gastric cancer with synchronous oligo metastasis: a multicenter retrospective study. Gastric Cancer 2023; 26:307-316.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection of oligo-metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) is weakly recommended for patients without other incurable factors in the Japanese GC Treatment Guidelines. While post-operative chemotherapy is the standard treatment in patients with stage II or III GC, its efficacy for resected stage IV GC is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of post-operative chemotherapy after curative resection of GC with oligo-metastasis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with GC who were diagnosed with synchronous oligo-metastasis at 20 institutions in Japan between 2007 and 2012. The selection criteria were: adenocarcinoma, stage IV with oligo-metastasis at liver or lymph node without other distant metastasis, curative resection including synchronous oligo-metastasis, and no prior treatment of GC before surgery. RESULTS A total of 110 patients were collected. Of the 94 eligible patients, 84 underwent gastrectomy with surgical resection of oligo-metastasis (39 [41%] liver metastasis and 55, [59%] distant lymph node metastasis), followed by post-operative chemotherapy with S-1 (S1: n = 55), S1 plus cisplatin (CS: n = 22), or Others (n = 7). Moreover, 10 patients did not receive post-operative chemotherapy (Non-Cx). The median overall survival (OS) was 35.2 and 11.1 months in the post-operative chemotherapy and Non-Cx groups (hazard ratio, 3.56; 95% confidence interval, 1.74-7.30; p < 0.001), respectively. In multivariable analysis, Non-Cx and age over 70 years were identified as poor prognostic factors for OS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Curative resection followed by post-operative chemotherapy in patients with GC with synchronous oligo-metastasis showed favorable survival.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most clinically challenging cancers worldwide. Over the past few years, new molecular-targeted agents and immunotherapy have markedly improved GC prognosis. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression is a key biomarker in first-line chemotherapy for unresectable advanced GC. Further, the addition of trastuzumab to cytotoxic chemotherapy has extended the overall survival of patients with HER2-positive advanced GC. In HER2-negative GC, the combination of nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, and a cytotoxic agent has been demonstrated to prolong the overall survival of GC patients. Ramucirumab and trifluridine/tipiracil, which are second- and third-line treatments for GC, and trastuzumab deruxtecan, an antibody-drug conjugate for HER2-positive GC, have been introduced in clinics. New promising molecular-targeted agents are also being developed, and combination therapy comprising immunotherapy and molecular-targeted agents is expected. As the number of available drugs increases, it is important to understand the target biomarkers and drug characteristics and select the optimal therapy for each patient. For resectable disease, differences in the extent of standard lymphadenectomy between Eastern and Western countries have led to different standard treatments: perioperative (neoadjuvant) and adjuvant therapy. This review aimed to summarize recent advances in chemotherapy for advanced GC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in Korea and the world. Since 2004, this is the 4th gastric cancer guideline published in Korea which is the revised version of previous evidence-based approach in 2018. Current guideline is a collaborative work of the interdisciplinary working group including experts in the field of gastric surgery, gastroenterology, endoscopy, medical oncology, abdominal radiology, pathology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and guideline development methodology. Total of 33 key questions were updated or proposed after a collaborative review by the working group and 40 statements were developed according to the systematic review using the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and KoreaMed database. The level of evidence and the grading of recommendations were categorized according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation proposition. Evidence level, benefit, harm, and clinical applicability was considered as the significant factors for recommendation. The working group reviewed recommendations and discussed for consensus. In the earlier part, general consideration discusses screening, diagnosis and staging of endoscopy, pathology, radiology, and nuclear medicine. Flowchart is depicted with statements which is supported by meta-analysis and references. Since clinical trial and systematic review was not suitable for postoperative oncologic and nutritional follow-up, working group agreed to conduct a nationwide survey investigating the clinical practice of all tertiary or general hospitals in Korea. The purpose of this survey was to provide baseline information on follow up. Herein we present a multidisciplinary-evidence based gastric cancer guideline.

Abstract
The sixth edition of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines was completed in July 2021, incorporating new evidence that emerged after publication of the previous edition. It consists of a text-based "Treatments" part and a "Clinical Questions" part including recommendations and explanations for clinical questions. The treatments parts include a comprehensive description regarding surgery, endoscopic resection and chemotherapy for gastric cancer. The clinical question part is based on the literature search and evaluation by an independent systematic review team. Consequently, not only evidence for each therapeutic recommendation was clearly shown, but it also identified the research fields that require further evaluation to provide appropriate recommendations.

The real-world selection of first-line systemic therapy regimen for metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm in Japan. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17601. [PMID: 36266484 PMCID: PMC9585066 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-22718-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
In November 2013, the first edition of evidence-based guidelines for treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NEN) was published in Japan. However, whether medical practitioners have adopted the first-line regimens recommended for metastatic GEP-NEN in clinical practice is not yet known. The purpose of this study was to identify which first-line systemic therapy regimens have been selected and the proportion of cases that are adherent to the guidelines (i.e., number of patients receiving recommended therapy/total number of patients). We combined hospital-based cancer registry data and insurance claims-equivalent data for patients with GEP-NEN treated between January 2013 and December 2014 and extracted those with metastatic GEP-NEN who received systemic therapy. The proportions that were adherent with the guideline were calculated according to tumor classification (neuroendocrine tumor [NET] or neuroendocrine carcinoma [NEC]), primary site (gastrointestinal or pancreatic), and hospital volume (high, medium, or low). The study included 109 patients with GEP-NET and 424 with GEP-NEC. Overall, guideline-adherent treatment was provided in only 54.8% of cases (58.1% for gastrointestinal NET, 63.6% for pancreatic NET, 56.6% for gastrointestinal NEC, and 44.9% for pancreatic NEC). The recommended therapy for GEP-NET was used in 16.5% of patients with GEP-NEC, and 21.5% received fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy. This report is the first to describe real-world selection of first-line regimens for metastatic GEP-NEN. About half of all these patients received systemic therapy that was not recommended in the guidelines.

Prognostic characteristics and clinical response to immunotherapy targeting programmed cell death 1 for patients with advanced gastric cancer with liver metastases. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1015549. [PMID: 36211361 PMCID: PMC9532548 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1015549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BackgroundThe specific efficacy of immunotherapy for patients with liver metastases of gastric cancer is unclear. This study set out to explore the treatment response and related prognostic factors for patients with liver metastases of gastric cancer treated with immunotherapy.Patients and methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 135 patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer. According to the presence of liver metastases and/or first-line treatment with immunotherapy, patients were divided into the following three groups: I-LM(-) group(patients without liver metastases treated with immunotherapy, n=66), I-LM(+) group(patients with liver metastases treated with immunotherapy, n=36), C-LM(+) group(patients with liver metastases treated with chemotherapy and/or target therapy, n=33). Cox regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with survival in all patients and the three groups, respectively.ResultsFor the patients with liver metastases treated with immunotherapy, multivariate analysis showed that only the presence of peritoneal metastases was significantly associated with shorter PFS [hazard ratios (HR), 3.23; 95% CI, 1.12-9.32; P=0.030] and the patients with peritoneal metastases had shorter median PFS than patients without peritoneal metastases(3.1 vs 18.4 months; P=0.004), while the objective response rate was 100% in patients with HER2-positive (2 complete radiographic responses and 2 partial responses; 3 of 4 patients were still ongoing benefits [median follow-up time, 15.3 months ; interquartile range(IQR), 6.3-17.9 months]).ConclusionsThe findings suggest that patients with various types of gastric cancer liver metastases respond differently to immune checkpoint inhibitors, HER2-positive patients may derive clinical benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors, while the presence of peritoneal metastases is associated with resistance.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer occupies the fourth highest morbidity rate of cancers worldwide. A higher incidence of gastric cancer had been found in East Asia compared to the other regions. Gastrectomy with radical lymph node dissection is the cornerstone of curative treatment for Stage III gastric cancer, and postoperative systemic chemotherapy with docetaxel, S-1 improved patients’ disease-free survival rates. However, advances in immunotherapy bring innovations in the management of patients with gastric cancer. The objective of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with docetaxel + S-1, sequenced by camrelizumab + S-1 in stage III gastric cancer patients who are EBV positive, with defective mismatch repair and CPS ≥5. Methods and analysis This prospective, open-label, single-arm trial was performed at Renji Hospital. In this study, a total of 70 adult patients aged 18–80 years with Stage III (PD-1+/MSI-H/EBV+/dMMR) gastric cancer confirmed by post-operative pathology will be enrolled after screening. Participants will receive the specific chemotherapy regimen until 1 year after the operation or until tumor recurrence or metastasis. The primary outcome is the 3-year disease-free survival rate measured by the Clopper-Pearson method and 95% confidence intervals. The secondary outcomes include overall survival, incidence and severity of adverse effects, and laboratory abnormalities. The data will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The patients will be followed up every 3 months with imaging investigation until clinical remission. Ethics and dissemination All participants will provide informed consent. The protocol has been approved by the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Renji Hospital Ethics Committee (KY2019-191). The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed manuscripts, reports and presentations. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: ChiCTR1900027123. Registration date November 2019; first enrolment December 2019; expected end date December 2021; trial status: Ongoing. Brief Abstract A clinical trial for Stage III (PD-1+/MSI-H/EBV+/dMMR) gastric cancer patients who accepted anti-PD-1 therapy combined with docetaxel + S-1 as the first-line treatment and explored improvements in three-year disease-free survival rate.

A phase 1b study of andecaliximab in combination with S-1 plus platinum in Japanese patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11007. [PMID: 35773363 PMCID: PMC9246925 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13801-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Andecaliximab (ADX) is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), an extracellular enzyme involved in matrix remodeling, tumor growth, and metastasis. In preclinical models, MMP9 inhibitors have been shown to enhance the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents and to suppress distant metastasis. In this phase Ib, multicenter study, the safety and efficacy of ADX combined with S-1 plus cisplatin (SP) or S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) as a first-line treatment were evaluated in Japanese patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. ADX was administrated at a dose of 800 mg every 2 weeks for the SP cohort and 1200 mg every three weeks for the SOX cohort. As of December 2019, 16 patients were enrolled (six patients in the SP cohort and 10 patients in the SOX cohort). Peripheral sensory neuropathy (69%), anorexia (63%), nausea (56%), and decreased neutrophil counts (44%) were the most common adverse events (AEs). The grade 3 or higher AEs attributed to ADX were stomatitis and abnormal hepatic function (each one patient) in the SP cohort and decreased neutrophil counts (two patients) in the SOX cohort. The objective response rate in 11 patients with measurable target lesions was 73% (8/11), based on the investigator’s evaluation. Median progression-free survival was11.9 months (90% confidence interval, 5.6–16.6), and median overall survival was not reached. In conclusion, ADX combined with S-1 plus platinum demonstrated a manageable safety profile and promising clinical activity in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Clinical Trial Registration information: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02862535 (11/08/2016) and protocol ID: GS-US-296-1884.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes of ovarian metastasis from gastric cancer. METHODS This study included 155 female patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer at the Kochi Medical School between January 2007 and December 2021. A review of patients with ovarian metastasis was conducted, and their clinicopathological information and survival outcomes were compared with respect to ovarian metastasis. RESULTS Fifteen patients were diagnosed with ovarian metastasis from gastric cancer with a median age of 54 years (range: 30-87 years) and an incidence of 9.7%. The median age of patients who developed ovarian metastasis was significantly lower those without ovarian metastasis (54 years vs. 71 years, P = 0.014). The median survival time (MST) for 15 patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer who developed ovarian metastasis was 21.4 months (range: 0.2-41.4 months). The MST for 15 patients who underwent surgical resection and systemic drug treatment including chemotherapy to ovarian metastasis was significantly higher than those who received systemic drug treatment alone (28.1 months vs. 10.0 months; P = 0.021). CONCLUSION Ovarian metastasis was found in 9.7% of female patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer and in younger patients than in those without ovarian metastasis. Multidisciplinary treatment, including surgical resection and systemic drug treatment for ovarian metastasis from gastric cancer, may benefit selected patients.

Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14092334. [PMID: 35565463 PMCID: PMC9103395 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14092334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is the most common form of metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) and is related with a poor prognosis. Several treatment modalities including systemic chemotherapy and intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been studied and adopted in treatment of GC patients with PC. Nevertheless, few studies have reported the comparison of the oncologic outcomes between minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy for GC with PC. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 74 patients who had been diagnosed as GC with PC via either intra-abdominal exploration or abdominopelvic computed tomography between January 2011 and April 2021. After performing propensity score-matching for this retrospective data, we compared the outcomes of 26 patients who underwent MIS followed by IP combined systemic chemotherapy (MIS-IP group) and 26 patients who underwent systemic chemotherapy only (SC-only group). Results: The 2-year progression free survival rate of the MIS-IP group was significantly higher than the SC-only groups (36.4% and 10.5%, respectively; p = 0.010). In multivariate analysis to detect relevant factors on PFS, IP chemotherapy (HR 0.213; p < 0.001), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (HR 3.689; p = 0.002), and the amount of ascites (p = 0.011) were significant prognostic factors. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the therapeutic potential of MIS conjoined IP plus systemic chemotherapy for GC patients with PC. MIS conjoined by IP plus systemic chemotherapy can be adopted as a treatment option to reboot the role of IP chemotherapy in GC patients with PC.

A phase II multicenter trial assessing the efficacy and safety of first-line S-1 + ramucirumab in elderly patients with advanced/recurrent gastric cancer: KSCC1701. Eur J Cancer 2022; 166:279-286. [PMID: 35349925 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2022.02.028] [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: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mainstream first-line chemotherapy for advanced/recurrent gastric cancer (ARGC) is combination therapy including platinum-based agents. With the progressive aging of the society, the incidence of gastric cancer in elderly patients is increasing. However, elderly patients cannot tolerate these agents because of renal dysfunction or low quality of life. The KSCC1701 study explored the efficacy and safety of S-1 + ramucirumab in elderly patients with ARGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Chemotherapy-naive patients aged ≥70 years with ARGC were eligible. Patients received S-1 (40-60 mg twice daily for 4 weeks in 6-week cycles) and ramucirumab (8 mg/kg every 2 weeks) until disease progression. The primary end-point was the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. The anticipated lower threshold of 1-year survival was set at 40% in light of previous S-1-based regimens. The secondary end-points included progression-free survival (PFS), OS, the overall response rate (ORR) and safety. RESULTS Between September 2017 and November 2019, 48 patients (34 men and 14 women) were enrolled in this study. The median patient age was 77.5 years, and all patients had a performance status of 0 (n = 20) or 1 (n = 28). The 1-year OS rate was 65.2%, which met the primary end-point. The median survival time and median PFS were 16.4 and 5.8 months, respectively. The ORR was 41.9%. The most frequent grade 3/4 (≥15%) adverse events were neutropenia, anorexia and anaemia. CONCLUSION Considering these findings, S-1 + ramucirumab appears to be an excellent treatment option for elderly patients with ARGC. (250 words). This trial has been registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials Registry under the number jRCTs071180066.

Long-Term Results of a Phase 2 Study of Definitive Chemoradiation Therapy Using S-1 for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Who Were Elderly or With Serious Comorbidities. Front Oncol 2022; 12:839765. [PMID: 35449578 PMCID: PMC9016823 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.839765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The optimal evidence-based management for the subsets of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who rejected or were intolerant to intravenous chemotherapy due to old age or serious comorbidities is currently lacking. This study aimed to assess the safety and local control rate (LCR) of S-1 (tegafur–gimeracil–oteracil potassium) combined with radiotherapy in these subsets of ESCC patients. Methods Locally advanced ESCC patients who rejected or were intolerant to intravenous chemotherapy due to age >75 years or serious comorbidities were enrolled in a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial. The patients were treated with definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy with S-1, which was administered orally twice daily for 28 days. The radiotherapy dose was 61.2 Gy delivered in 34 fractions. The primary end-point was the 3-year LCR. Results One hundred five ESCC patients were recruited between March 2013 and October 2015. At the median follow-up of 73.1 months (IQR 65.5–81.4 months), 3-year LCR was 61.1%, and 1, 3, and 5-year overall survival was 77.9, 42.3, and 24.8% respectively. For safety analysis, ≥grade 3 acute adverse events included thrombocytopenia (6.7%), leukopenia (2.9%), anemia (1.0%), anorexia (1.0%), fatigue (10.5%), hiccup (1.0%), pneumonitis (4.8%), and esophagitis (3.8%). Two patients (1.9%) died of late esophageal hemorrhage, and one patient (1.0%) died of late radiation-induced pneumonitis. Conclusion S-1 is a promising regimen in concurrent chemoradiotherapy with low toxicity and a favorable LCR in ESCC patients who rejected or were intolerant to intravenous chemotherapy due to old age or serious comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with unresectable advanced metastatic gastric cancer have a poor prognosis. This study examined the incidence and prognostic impact of cachexia during systemic drug treatment in such patients. METHODS We enrolled patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer who were treated with chemotherapy at Kochi Medical School from 2007 to 2020. Cancer cachexia was defined as > 5% weight loss or > 2% weight loss with a body mass index of < 20 kg/m2 within the past 6 months. Associations between clinicopathological parameters, cancer cachexia, and the overall survival were analyzed. RESULTS Cancer cachexia occurred in 55.2% of 134 enrolled patients 6 months after chemotherapy. The incidence of cancer cachexia in initial unresectable gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in patients with recurrent cancer after curative resection. The median overall survival was significantly lower in the patients with cancer cachexia than in those without cancer cachexia at 6 months after starting systemic chemotherapy (13.7 months vs. 21.6 months, P = 0.032). Cancer cachexia at 6 months of starting treatment and CRP > 0.14 were identified as significantly associated with poor outcomes in a multivariate analysis (hazard ratio [HR] 1.339, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.160-2.085, P = 0.019; HR 1.885, 95% CI 1.124-3.161, P = 0.016); respectively). CONCLUSIONS Cancer cachexia was frequently observed in unresectable advanced gastric cancer patients who received chemotherapy and was useful as a prognostic factor for the overall survival.

Overexpression of Tetraspanin31 contributes to malignant potential and poor outcomes in gastric cancer. Cancer Sci 2022; 113:1984-1998. [PMID: 35307915 PMCID: PMC9207375 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Tetraspanin has important functions in many cancers by aggregating with various proteins that interact with intracellular signaling proteins. The molecular function of Tetraspanin31 (TSPAN31), located in the 12q14 amplified region in various cancers, remains unclear in gastric cancer (GC). We tested whether TSPAN31 acts as a cancer‐promoting gene through its activation or overexpression in GC. We analyzed seven GC cell lines and 189 primary tumors, which were curatively resected in our hospital between 2011 and 2013. Overexpression of the TSPAN31 protein was frequently detected in three GC cell lines (42.9%) and 62 primary GC specimens (32.8%). Overexpression of TSPAN31 was significantly correlated with lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, more advanced pT and pN stages, and a higher recurrence rate. Moreover, TSPAN31 positivity was an independent factor predicting worse patient outcomes (p = 0.0283, hazard ratio 3.97). Ectopic overexpression of TSPAN31 facilitated cell proliferation of GC cells, and knockdown of TSPAN31 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition of GC cells through the PI3K‐Akt pathway and increased cell apoptosis in a TP53 mutation‐independent manner. In vivo analysis also revealed knockdown of TSPAN31 suppressed tumor progression. In addition, knockdown of TSPAN31 improved chemosensitivity to cisplatin through the suppression of ABCC2. These findings suggest that TSPAN31 plays a crucial role in tumor‐malignant potential through overexpression, highlighting its utility as a prognostic factor and a potential therapeutic target in GC.

Biweekly oxaliplatin plus S1 for Chinese elderly patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer as the first-line therapy: a single-arm, phase 2 study. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:253. [PMID: 35264150 PMCID: PMC8908595 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09332-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background SOX (oxaliplatin and S1, every 3 weeks) is one of the most common first-line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic G/GEJ (gastric or gastroesophageal junction) cancer in Asia, but it has noticeable hematological and neurological toxicity. In China, the majority of gastric cancer patients are middle-aged and elderly with poor tolerance to 3-weekly chemotherapy. Therefore, we aimed to assess efficacy and safety of biweekly SOX for Chinese advanced G/GEJ cancer patients aged ≥ 60 years as the first-line treatment in a single arm phase 2 study. Methods Oxaliplatin was administered intravenously on day 1 at 85 mg/m2. S-1 was given at 80, 100 or 120 mg/day, depending on the body surface area (< 1.25 m2, 1.25 to < 1.5 m2, or ≥ 1.5 m2), twice daily, on day 1–10, every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints included progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR) and safety. Results Between May 2016 and Sep 2018, 42 patients were enrolled. The median follow-up was 43.6 months. The ORR and DCR were 52.4% and 85.7%, respectively. The median PFS was 4.6 months (95%CI 2.486–6.714), and the median OS was 11.1 months (95%CI 8.001–14.199). The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade included thrombocytopenia (59.5%), neutropenia (57.1%), appetite loss (57.1%) and nausea (54.8%). Only two patients suffered from grade 3 TRAEs (4.8%), including neutropenia (1 patient, [2.4%]) and diarrhea (1 patient, [2.4%]). No ≥ grade 4 TRAEs occurred. Conclusions Biweekly SOX seemed to have favorable tolerance without compromising the efficacy as the first-line therapy in Chinese elderly patients aged ≥ 60 years with advanced G/GEJ cancer. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04694404 (5/1/2021). This study was approved by the Ethical Committee of National Cancer Center/ National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/ Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, (17–048/1303).

Abstract
Background Whether patients with advanced gastric cancer with unresectable synchronous liver metastases require surgical treatment remains a controversial topic among surgeons. Recently, an open-label multicenter, international RCT study show that compared with chemotherapy alone, gastric resection combined with chemotherapy had no survival advantage for advanced gastric cancer with unresectable synchronous liver metastases. A limitation of this study was that gastrectomy for gastric cancers was restricted to D1 lymphadenectomy and no metastatic lesions were removed. Whether D2 gastrectomy plus liver radiofrequency plus postoperative chemotherapy could provide benefits to these patients is worthy of further confirmation by high-level evidence-based medicine. Methods/Design This study will investigate the efficacy of D2 gastrectomy plus liver radiofrequency plus postoperative chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial that will enroll 200 patients who have advanced gastric cancer with unresectable synchronous liver metastases. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the test group (D2 gastrectomy plus liver radiofrequency plus postoperative chemotherapy, n=100) and the control group (chemotherapy alone, n=100). The patients’ general information, past medical history, laboratory tests, imaging results, surgery details, and chemotherapy details will be recorded and analysed. The overall survival (OS) will be recorded as primary endpoints. Progression-free survival (PFS) and the total incidence of complications will be recorded as secondary endpoints. Discussion This study is to establish a multicentre randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of D2 gastrectomy plus liver radiofrequency combined with postoperative chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone. Trial Registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, Approved No. of ethics committee:ChiECRCT20200331. Registered on 15 November 2020. Registration number:ChiCTR2000039964. The study has received full ethical and institutional approval. Advantages and Limitations of this Study This is the first clinical trial that will provide evidence on the efficacy of D2 gastrectomy plus liver radiofrequency combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer with unresectable synchronous liver metastases.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Perioperative chemotherapy is a potential treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety and efficacy of S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) vs fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) as a perioperative chemotherapy regimen for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this phase 3, open-label, multicenter, randomized clinical trial, patients from 12 Chinese hospitals were enrolled between June 2011 and August 2016, with a last follow-up date of September 2019. The primary tumor was evaluated as either invading the serosa or the adjacent structures with or without metastatic lymph nodes, and with no evidence of distant metastases. Data were analyzed from December 2019 to June 2020. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either 6 perioperative (2-4 preoperative and 2-4 postoperative) 3-week cycles of 130 mg/m2 oxaliplatin on day 1 and 80 to 120 mg/d S-1 orally daily for 2 weeks (SOX) or 130 mg/m2 oxaliplatin, 400 mg/m2 fluorouracil, 400 mg/m2 leucovorin, and 2400 mg/m2 fluorouracil as 46-hour infusion on day 1 (FOLFOX). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary end point was 3-year overall survival (OS). An absolute noninferiority margin of -8% was chosen. RESULTS A total of 583 patients were enrolled; 293 were randomized to the SOX group and 290 were randomized to the FOLFOX group. Twelve patients (2.1%) refused preoperative chemotherapy (5 patients in the SOX group and 7 patients in the FOLFOX group), leaving a total of 288 patients in the SOX group (median [range] age, 61 [24 to 78] years; 197 men [68.4%]) and 283 patients in the FOLFOX group (median [range] age, 62 [24 to 80] years; 209 men [73.9%]) who received preoperative chemotherapy. The 3-year OS rate was 75.2% (95% CI, 70.3% to 80.5%) in the SOX group and 67.8% (95% CI, 62.5% to 73.5%) in the FOLFOX group. The absolute difference of 3-year OS rate between the 2 groups was 7.4% (95% CI, -0.1% to 14.9%), which was greater than the prespecified noninferiority margin (-8%) and showed the noninferiority of perioperative chemotherapy with SOX compared with FOLFOX. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this randomized clinical trial, SOX was noninferior to FOLFOX as perioperative chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and could be recommended as an alternative treatment for these patients in Asia.

[PMID: 34980017 PMCID: PMC8721909 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-09118-3] [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: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although nivolumab (anti-programmed cell death-1 antibody) is a promising approach for advanced gastric cancer (AGC), the response rate remains limited. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to determine if clinical features could serve as prognostic factors of the efficacy of nivolumab in patients with AGC. METHODS Fifty-eight patients with AGC who were treated with nivolumab as a third or later line from October 2017 to December 2018 at any of five clinical sites were enrolled in the study. The correlation between the best overall response and clinical features was investigated. Overall survival and progression-free survival after initiation of nivolumab were calculated and clinical features that could be predictors of the prognosis were sought. RESULTS The disease control rate (DCR) for nivolumab was 36.2% and was significantly correlated with performance status (p = 0.021), metastasis to one organ (p = 0.006), and grade 2 or higher immune-related adverse events (p = 0.027). There was also a significant association between response to nivolumab and ability to receive subsequent chemotherapy (p = 0.022). In the analysis of overall survival, the following variables were identified as being significantly associated with a poor outcome: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥1, prior treatment with trastuzumab, no immune-related adverse events, lack of a response to nivolumab, and inability to receive subsequent chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that nivolumab may be ineffective for AGC in patients with poor performance status and those with a history of treatment with trastuzumab.

Abstract
Fluorouracil (5FU) is the backbone chemotherapy agent in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Cardiotoxicity represents an uncommon but serious side effect of treatment with 5FU. Here, we review the current literature on 5FU-cardiotoxicity in the setting of CRC specifically, with a focus on data from the modern era of combination chemotherapy. Despite decades of study, there is little consensus on risk factors and biomarkers for 5FU-cardiotoxicity, nor how patients with CRC should be managed following a cardiotoxicity event. Given the elevated risk of recurrent cardiotoxicity on rechallenge, the use of alternative regimens that do not contain 5FU is a critical aspect of management. Data on the cardiotoxicity risk and efficacy of non-5FU regimens in CRC are therefore reviewed in detail.

Abstract
Background In the past decade, several successful clinical trials provided new therapeutic agents approved for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This study evaluated whether these practice-changing results actually altered the clinical practice. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of treatment-naive AGC patients who received combination chemotherapy of fluoropyrimidine and platinum between 2007 and 2018 and divided them into three groups: Groups A (2007-10), B (2011-14), and C (2015-2018), respectively. We compared the clinicopathological features, treatment details, and clinical outcomes among the three groups. Results In total, 1004 consecutive patients were enrolled (A; n = 254, B; n = 300, and C; n = 450). The number of patients with poor performance status, older age, esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, and primary tumor increased during the study period. All groups had similar median overall survival (OS); ~16 months) without any statistical difference but steady prolongation of survival was observed in the adjusted with imbalance prognostic factors among groups (B/A; hazard ratio, HR 0.82, 95% C.I 0.68-0.98, C/A; HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.86); OS of HER2-positive AGC patients was clearly improved (HER2-positive vs HER2-negative in Group B, HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.60-1.06; Group C, HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.51-0.90) but that of diffuse-type AGC patients remained dismal. Conclusions The increasing availability of chemotherapy options potentially contributed to improved survival of AGC patients, but expanded chemotherapeutic indications made the survival benefit inconspicuous in the whole population. Future therapeutic development for the AGC subset not adequately receiving benefit from previous clinical trials is warranted.

Abstract
Countries differ in their treatment expertise and research results regarding gastric cancer; hence, treatment guidelines are diverse based on evidence and medical situations. A comprehensive and comparative review of each country’s guidelines is imperative to understand the similarities and differences among countries. We reviewed and compared five gastric cancer treatment guidelines in terms of endoscopic, surgical, perioperative, and palliative systemic treatment based on evidence levels and recommendation grades, as well as the postoperative follow-up strategies for each guideline. The Korean, Chinese, and European guidelines provided evidence and grading of the recommendations. The United States guidelines suggested categories for evidence and consensus. The Japanese guidelines suggested evidence and recommendations only for systemic treatment. The Korean and Japanese guidelines described endoscopic treatment, surgery, and lymphadenectomy in detail. The Chinese, United States, and European guidelines more intensively considered perioperative chemotherapy. In particular, the indications for chemotherapy and the regimens recommended by each guideline differed slightly. Considering their medical situations, each guideline had some diversity in terms of adopting evidence, which resulted in heterogeneous recommendations. This review will help medical personnel to comprehensively understand the diversity in gastric cancer treatment guidelines for each country in terms of evidence and recommendations.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is a disease of older adults with very poor survival rates. Its incidence has risen dramatically across the world in recent decades. Current treatment approaches for older adults are based largely on extrapolated evidence from clinical trials conducted in younger and fitter participants than those more commonly encountered in clinical practice. Understanding how to apply available evidence to our patients in the clinic setting is essential given the high morbidity of both curative and palliative treatment. This review aims to use available data to inform the management of an older adult with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Background: Palliative chemotherapy is the preferred standard of care for patients with metastatic gastric cancer (mGC). It remains uncertain whether older patients with mGC would benefit from palliative chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the clinical impact of palliative chemotherapy in older patients with mGC. Methods: This single-institute, retrospective, and real-world study included 428 patients with mGC between January 2009 and December 2019. Among them, 306 who received palliative chemotherapy were further stratified into 2 groups according to age: ≤70 (n = 236) and >70 (n = 70) years. The clinical demographics, outcomes, and hematologic toxicities of chemotherapy were compared between the 2 groups. Prognostic factors were determined using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Of the screened 428 patients, older patients had worse overall survival (OS) than younger patients. Among patients who received chemotherapy (n = 306), patients aged >70 and ⩽70 years had comparable progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. The incidence of severe hematologic toxicity was similar between the 2 groups. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2 or more metastatic sites, elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and undergoing palliative gastrectomy were independent prognostic factors for OS. Notably, age >70 years was not a significant factor for poor OS. Conclusions: Older age of >70 years might not be considered an obstacle to administering palliative chemotherapy to patients with mGC.

Abstract
Background To explore the efficacy and toxicity of simultaneous modulated accelerated radiotherapy (SMART) concurrently with cisplatin (CDDP) and S1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods This single-arm, phase II study enrolled pathologically confirmed, stage II-IVa ESCC of 70-80 years old and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-2. Patients received SMART (64 Gy to gross tumor volume and 48 Gy to clinical target volume in 30 fractions) with concurrent CDDP (day 1 of each week) and S1 (days 1-14, 22-35). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicities. Results Thirty-seven eligible patients were analyzed with median follow-up of 25.7 months for all and 46.1 months for survivors. The ORR was 88.9%. Patients with baseline weight loss <5% (p=0.050) and nutritional risk index (NRI) ≥105.2 (p=0.023) had better tumor response. Median PFS was 13.8 months with 2-year PFS of 37.5%. Median OS was 27.7 months with 2-year OS of 57.5%. OS was significantly associated with ECOG PS (p=0.005), stage (p=0.014), gross tumor volume (p=0.004), baseline NRI (p=0.036), baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) level (p=0.003) and tumor response (p=0.000). CRP level (p=0.016) and tumor response (p=0.021) were independently prognostic of OS. ≥grade 3 anemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 2.7%, 10.8% and 13.5% of patients; ≥grade 3 esophagitis and pneumonitis occurred in 18.9% and 2.7% of patient, respectively. Conclusion SMART concurrently with CDDP/S1 yielded satisfactory response rate, survival outcome and tolerable treatment-related toxicities in elderly patients with ESCC. Further studies are warranted to validate the results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Whether adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) has a survival benefit for pathological stage Ⅰ (T1N0 and T2N0) gastric cancer (GC) patients with negative lymph node (N0) remains controversial. METHODS Patients with surgically resected, histologically confirmed pT1N0 and pT2N0 GC between January 2011 and December 2017 at the National Cancer Center, China, were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS A total of 1601 patients who met the inclusion criteria were identified. Independent risk factors for reduced overall survival (OS) identified in the Cox regression analysis were male sex (hazard ratio [HR] 1.454, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.127-1.876), age ≥ 65 years (HR 1.367; 95% CI 1.071-1.744 ), T2 stage (HR 1.283; 95% CI 1.005-1.638), tumor size > 3 cm (HR 1.704; 95% CI 1.346-2.158), examined lymph nodes (EN) ≤ 15 (HR 1.327; 95% CI 1.058-1.664), and non-signet ring cell carcinoma (Non-SRCC) (HR 1.639; 95% CI 1.123-2.392). While only T2 stage (HR 1.410; 95% CI 1.026-1.936), tumor size > 3 cm (HR 1.755; 95% CI 1.285-2.397), examined lymph nodes (EN) ≤ 15 (HR 1.489; 95% CI 1.101-2.015) were independent risk factors for cause-specific survival (CSS). We divided patients with pT2N0 into four sub-categories according to two significant prognostic factors (size and EN) and found that only patient in group 3 (EN ≤ 15, size >3 cm) with improved CSS benefit from AC (p = 0.049). More significant CSS benefit from AC was identified in Non-SRCC patients within group 3 (p = 0.034). CONCLUSION An additional survival benefit related to AC is expected for selected pT2N0 patients. Non-SRCC patients with EN ≤ 15 and tumor size >3 cm may be particularly appropriate candidates for AC.

Clinical implications of using both fluoropyrimidine and paclitaxel in patients with severe peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer: A post hoc study of JCOG1108/WJOG7312G. Cancer Med 2021; 10:7673-7682. [PMID: 34655175 PMCID: PMC8559492 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In the JCOG1108/WJOG7312G trial, a combination (FLTAX) of 5‐fluorouracil (FU) /leucovorin (FL) and paclitaxel (PTX) did not show superiority in overall survival (OS) to FL in untreated patients with severe peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer (GC‐SPM), some of whom received second‐line chemotherapy with PTX after FL. This post hoc study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of using both FU and PTX either sequentially or in combination for patients with GC‐SPM. Methods A total of 94 patients were enrolled and categorized into the following three subgroups: patients treated with (1) FL followed by PTX (FL/PTX, N = 25), (2) FL followed by best supportive care (BSC) (FL/BSC, N = 21), and (3) FLTAX (N = 48). OS was compared between the subgroups. By comparing baseline factors between the FL/PTX and FL/BSC subgroups, factors preventing the sequential use of PTX (SUP) were explored using logistic regression model. The efficacy of FL and FLTAX was compared according to the presence of risk factors preventing SUP. Results The FL/PTX subgroup showed better and equivalent OS compared to the FL/BSC (median 7.8 vs. 2.0 months, p < 0.01) and FLTAX (median 7.8 vs. 8.0, p = 0.49) subgroups, respectively. Glasgow Prognostic Score 2 and initially unresectable disease were identified as risk factors preventing SUP. Absence of both risks predicted SUP with a sensitivity of 13% and a specificity of 100%, whereas absence of any risks predicted SUP with a sensitivity of 67% and a specificity of 62%. FLTAX showed better OS than FL in patients with one or two of these risks but worse OS in those with none. Conclusions Although sequential use of FU and PTX showed equivalent survival to FLTAX in patients with GC‐SPM, FLTAX might be preferable given the difficulty in selecting patients likely to receive sequential use at the initiation of first‐line chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the prognostic value of C-reactive protein-to-albumin (CAR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR) in conjunction with host-related factors in patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. METHODS A total of 411 patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer were treated at Kochi Medical School between 2007 and 2019. Associations between clinicopathological parameters and systemic inflammatory and nutritional markers, including CAR and NLR, with overall survival were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The optimal cut-off values of predicted median survival time were 0.096 (sensitivity, 74.9%; specificity, 42.5%) for CAR and 3.47 (sensitivity, 64.1%; specificity, 57.5%) for NLR, based on the results of receiver operating characteristic analysis. A weak significant positive correlation was identified between CAR and NLR (r = 0.388, P < 0.001). The median survival time was significantly higher in patients with intestinal-type than those with diffuse-type histology (18.3 months vs. 9.5 months; P = 0.001), CAR < 0.096 than those with CAR ≥ 0.096 (14.8 months vs. 9.9 months; P < 0.029), and those with NLR < 3.47 than NLR ≥ 3.47 (14.7 months vs. 8.8 months; P < 0.001). Multivariate survival analysis revealed that diffuse-type histology (hazard ratio (HR) 1.865; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.397-2.490; P < 0.001)), 1 or more performance status (HR 11.510; 95% CI 7.941-16.683; P < 0.001), and NLR ≥ 3.47 (HR 1.341; 95% CI 1.174-1.769; P = 0.023) were significantly associated with independent predictors of worse prognosis. CONCLUSIONS High CAR and NLR are associated with poor survival in patients with unresectable and recurrent gastric cancer.

Abstract
Gastric cancer represents a common and highly fatal malignancy, and thus a pathophysiology-based reconsideration is necessary, given the absence of efficient therapeutic regimens. In this regard, emerging data reveal a significant role of autophagy in gastric oncogenesis, progression, metastasis and chemoresistance. Although autophagy comprises a normal primordial process, ensuring cellular homeostasis under energy depletion and stress conditions, alterations at any stage of the complex regulatory system could stimulate a tumorigenic and promoting cascade. Among others, Helicobacter pylori infection induces a variety of signaling molecules modifying autophagy, during acute infection or after chronic autophagy degeneration. Subsequently, defective autophagy allows malignant transformation and upon cancer establishment, an overactive autophagy is stimulated. This overexpressed autophagy provides energy supplies and resistance mechanisms to gastric cancer cells against hosts defenses and anticancer treatment. This review interprets the implicated autophagic pathways in normal cells and in gastric cancer to illuminate the potential preventive, therapeutic and prognostic benefits of understanding and intervening autophagy.

Abstract
Gastric (G) and gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinomas are of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide and affect mainly patients over 70 years at diagnosis. Older age has been associated in gastric cancers with distal tumour location, well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and microsatellite instability and is not identified itself as an independent prognostic factor. As immune checkpoint inhibitors recently changed the landmark of advanced G and GEJ adenocarcinomas treatment, we decided to perform a literature review to define the evidence-level of clinical data in older patients. This work underlined the lasting low -inclusion rate of older patients and -implementation rate of frailty screening tools in clinical trials in G/GEJ carcinomas. In the first-line metastatic setting, two prospective randomized phase III studies have specifically assessed the efficacy of chemotherapy in older patients with HER2-negative gastric cancers, demonstrating the feasibility of reduced dose oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimen in this population. Only few data are available in HER2-positive tumors, or in the second-line setting. Furthermore, no specific trial with immune checkpoint inhibitors was performed in older frail patients whereas their benefit/adverse events ratio make them attractive candidates in this patient's population. We conclude that older fit patients can be treated in the same way as younger ones and included in clinical trials. Improving the outcome of older frail patients should be the oncology community next focus by implementing targeted interventions before initiating cancer therapy and designing specific clinical trials. Frailty screening tools and geriatric data collection have to be implemented in routine-practice and clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE The standard first-line treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin and fluoropyrimidines. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of S-1 and oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2) (SOX100) combined with trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against HER2 for HER2-positive AGC. METHODS In this single-arm, multicenter phase II study, patients with HER2-positive AGC received S-1 (80-120 mg per day) orally on days 1-14, oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2) intravenously on day 1, and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg on day 1 of the first cycle, followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks) intravenously. The primary end point was 1-year survival rate. The secondary end points included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and safety. RESULTS A total of 25 patients from six centers were enrolled from December 2015 to March 2020. In the 25 patients evaluable for analysis, the 1-year survival rate was 70.8% [90% confidence interval (CI) = 55.5-86.1%], whereas the median OS, PFS, and ORR were 17.8 (95% CI 10.5-22.9) months, 7.6 (95% CI 5.0-10.9) months, and 75.0% (95% CI 53.3-90.2), respectively. Major grade 3/4 adverse events included anorexia (20%), anemia (16%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (16%), and diarrhea (15%). CONCLUSION SOX100 combined with trastuzumab was effective with a favorable safety profile in patients with HER2-positive AGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment for liver metastasis from gastric cancer (LMGC) remains uncertain. The relevance of surgical resection is controversial. We conducted a prospective multicenter interventional study of surgical resection for LMGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with synchronous or metachronous LMGC who were surgically fit were registered. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival (OS) of patients who underwent R0 resection. Secondary endpoints were R0 resection rate, operative morbidity and mortality, 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) of R0 patients, and OS in all registered patients. RESULTS Seventy patients were registered from 24 institutions between December 2011 and November 2019 and received preoperative chemotherapy. Three patients were ineligible, and 19 patients discontinued treatment, with disease progression in 12, adverse events in 4, and consent withdrawal in 3 before surgery. Of the 48 patients eventually undergoing surgery, R0 resection of the primary and/or metastatic GC was accomplished in 43 patients, while 1 patient discontinued treatment for positive peritoneal lavage cytology and 4 patients were considered ineligible based on postoperative pathological findings other than GC. The R0 resection rate of all eligible patients was 68.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 55.3-79.4%, 43/63 patients], while that of all resected patients was 89.6% (95% CI 77.3-96.5%, 43/48 patients). Postoperative complications were identified in 12 out of 43 patients (27.9%), and Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred in seven patients (16.3%). No hospital mortality was observed. CONCLUSIONS R0 resection for LMGC could be performed in approximately two-thirds of all eligible patients, with acceptable surgical morbidity and mortality.

A novel clinical prognostic index for patients with advanced gastric cancer: possible contribution to the continuum of care. ESMO Open 2021; 6:100234. [PMID: 34461485 PMCID: PMC8405892 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2021.100234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) prognostic index, consisting of performance status, primary tumor resected, number of metastases, and serum alkaline phosphatase, has been one of the robust prognostic indices for patients with advanced gastric cancer on the basis of which clinical trials have stratified prognosis. Only a few studies, however, have utilized the JCOG prognostic index in daily practice. Methods We conducted a retrospective study on patients with advanced gastric cancer who received first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy at a single institute between 2011 and 2017. Prognostic factors were evaluated using a Cox proportional regression model. Results A total of 608 patients were enrolled. Multivariate analysis showed that performance status ≥1, presence or absence of primary tumor, serum alkaline phosphatase, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ≥4, and diffuse-type histology were significantly associated with worse prognosis, whereas the number of metastases was not. Although the original prognostic index could not adequately stratify patients into three risk groups, the modified index (good: 0 and 1, moderate: 2 and 3, poor: 4-6), which was established by incorporating diffuse-type histology and high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, demonstrated excellent stratification. The median overall survival of the good (n = 315), moderate (n = 243), and poor (n = 54) risk groups was 20.5, 13.5, and 10.2 months, respectively. Hazard ratios (HRs) were 1.69 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.40-2.04; good versus moderate] and 1.52 (95% CI, 1.11-2.08; moderate versus poor). This novel index also demonstrated a statistically significant stratification of survival after progression following first-line chemotherapy (good versus moderate: HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.16-1.70; moderate versus poor: HR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.45-2.74). Conclusions The modified JCOG prognostic index showed excellent stratification of overall survival in real-world patients, which could also help determine the need for treatment changes throughout the continuum of chemotherapy. The applicability of the JCOG prognostic index in daily practice was investigated for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The JCOG prognostic index could not adequately stratify patients into three risk groups. The modified JCOG prognostic index incorporates diffuse-type histology and high NLR (≥4) into the JCOG prognostic index. The modified JCOG prognostic index showed excellent stratification in terms of overall survival and progression. The modified JCOG prognostic index may help determine the need for treatment changes during first-line chemotherapy in AGC.

Abstract
Importance Most older patients with esophageal cancer cannot complete the standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). An effective and tolerable chemoradiotherapy regimen for older patients is needed. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and toxic effects of CCRT with S-1 vs radiotherapy (RT) alone in older patients with esophageal cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants A randomized, open-label, phase 3 clinical trial was conducted at 23 Chinese centers between June 1, 2016, and August 31, 2018. The study enrolled 298 patients aged 70 to 85 years. Eligible participants had histologically confirmed esophageal cancer, stage IB to IVB disease based on the 6th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (stage IVB: only metastasis to the supraclavicular/celiac lymph nodes) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1. Data analysis was performed from August 1, 2020, to March 10, 2021. Interventions Patients were stratified according to age (<80 vs ≥80 years) and tumor length (<5 vs ≥5 cm) and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either CCRT with S-1 or RT alone. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was the 2-year overall survival rate using intention-to-treat analysis. Results Of the 298 patients enrolled, 180 (60.4%) were men. The median age was 77 (interquartile range, 74-79) years in the CCRT group and 77 (interquartile range, 74-80) years in the RT alone group. A total of 151 patients (50.7%) had stage III or IV disease. The CCRT group had a significantly higher complete response rate than the RT group (41.6% vs 26.8%; P = .007). Surviving patients had a median follow-up of 33.9 months (interquartile range: 28.5-38.2 months), and the CCRT group had a significantly higher 2-year overall survival rate (53.2% vs 35.8%; hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.47-0.85; P = .002). There were no significant differences in the incidence of grade 3 or higher toxic effects between the CCRT and RT groups except that grade 3 or higher leukopenia occurred in more patients in the CCRT group (9.5% vs 2.7%; P = .01). Treatment-related deaths were observed in 3 patients (2.0%) in the CCRT group and 4 patients (2.7%) in the RT group. Conclusions and Relevance In this phase 3 randomized clinical trial, CCRT with S-1 was tolerable and provided significant benefits over RT alone in older patients with esophageal cancer. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02813967.

[PMID: 34337293 PMCID: PMC8316740 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Revised: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Chemotherapy is indispensable for gastric cancer. For unresectable and/or recurrent gastric cancer, first-line chemotherapy consists of multidrug regimens including oral 5-FU agents such as S1/Xeloda and platinum preparations, as well as Trastuzumab, which is effective in HER2-positive cases. Second- and third-line chemotherapy regimens include taxanes, Ramucirumab (R-mab), and Nivolumab (N-mab), which have different mechanisms of action from first-line chemotherapy. R-mab is molecularly targeted to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in the host cells, but its indication is not conditional. For resectable gastric cancer, in Eastern countries, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy has been successful, including S1, Docetaxel/S1 (DS), and Xeloda/Oxaliplatin (Xelox) regimens, whereas, in Western countries, the 5-FU/Leucovorin/Oxaliplatin/Docetaxel (FLOT) regimen was recently shown to be effective in the perioperative chemotherapy setting. Most recently, however, in Eastern countries, perioperative SOX was demonstrated to be effective in specific advanced gastric cancer. For stage IV gastric cancer, new therapeutic strategies have been proposed such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy and conversion surgery, and cures can be conditionally obtained. Recent genomic understanding of gastric cancer proposed a diversity of molecular targets by molecular profiling. Such optimized chemotherapy regimens, according to the specific clinical situations, have been rigorously established for the best survival of advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
Stage IV Gastric/Esophagogastric junction cancer (G/EGJ) has an unfavorable prognosis and poor curability. In this study, we report the case of long-term survival after multidisciplinary treatments for advanced esophagogastric junction cancer. A 53-year-old male patient was diagnosed with HER2 positive advanced esophagogastric junction cancer and mediastinal and paraaortic lymph node metastasis. After systemic chemotherapy for 1 year, minimally invasive esophagectomy was conducted as conversion surgery. However, peritoneal and liver metastasis was observed on 3 months after curative surgery. 2 years after operation, solitary brain metastasis was detected and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using a gamma knife was underwent. After 1 year, despite the continuous administration of Nivolumab, the paraaortic lymph node increased in size again and radiation therapy was conducted. Currently, he is alive and undergoing chemotherapy.
