Song GJ, Ahn H, Son MW, Yun JH, Lee MS, Lee SM. Adipose Tissue Quantification Improves the Prognostic Value of GLIM Criteria in Advanced Gastric Cancer Patients. Nutrients 2024; 16:728. [PMID: 38474856 DOI: 10.3390/nu16050728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study investigated whether the risk of recurrence after curative surgery could be further stratified by combining the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and changes in subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue mass after surgery in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This study retrospectively analyzed 302 patients with AGC who underwent curative surgery. Based on the GLIM criteria, patients were classified into malnourished and non-malnourished groups. The cross-sectional areas of SAT and VAT were measured from preoperative and 6-month post-operative computed tomography (CT) images. Multivariate survival analyses demonstrated that GLIM-defined malnutrition (p = 0.008) and loss of VAT after surgery (p = 0.008) were independent risk factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS). Evaluation of the prognostic value of combining the two independent predictors showed that malnourished patients with a marked loss of VAT had the worst 5-year RFS rate of 35.2% (p < 0.001). Preoperative GLIM-defined malnutrition and a loss of VAT during the first 6 months after surgery were independent predictors for RFS in patients with AGC. Changes in the VAT area after surgery could further enhance the prognostic value of the GLIM criteria for predicting the risk of gastric cancer recurrence.

ESMO Open 2024; 9:102241. [PMID: 38442453 PMCID: PMC10925937 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2024.102241] [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: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying the association between body mass index (BMI) or weight change and cancer prognosis is essential for the development of effective cancer treatments. We aimed to assess the strength and validity of the evidence of the association between BMI or weight change and cancer prognosis by a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of relevant cohort studies. METHODS We systematically searched the PubMed, Web of Science, EconLit, Embase, Food Sciences and Technology Abstracts, PsycINFO, and Cochrane databases for literature published up to July 2023. Inclusion criteria were cohort studies with BMI or weight change as an exposure factor, cancer as a diagnostic outcome, and data type as an unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) or headcount ratio. Random- or fixed-effects models were used to calculate the pooled HR along with the 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Seventy-three cohort studies were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with normal weight, overweight or obesity was a risk factor for overall survival (OS) in patients with breast cancer (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.22-1.53; P < 0.0001), while obesity was a protective factor for OS in patients with gastrointestinal tumors (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.56-0.80; P < 0.0001) and lung cancer (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.92; P = 0.01) compared with patients without obesity. Compared with normal weight, underweight was a risk factor for OS in patients with breast cancer (HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.98-1.35; P = 0.08), gastrointestinal tumors (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.32-1.80; P < 0.0001), and lung cancer (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.22-1.35; P < 0.0001). Compared with nonweight change, weight loss was a risk factor for OS in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of the meta-analysis, we concluded that BMI, weight change, and tumor prognosis were significantly correlated. These findings may provide a more reliable argument for the development of more effective oncology treatment protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical opportunistic screening is a cost-effective cancer screening modality. This study aimed to establish an easy-to-use diagnostic model serving as a risk stratification tool for identification of individuals with malignant gastric lesions for opportunistic screening. METHODS We developed a questionnaire-based diagnostic model using a joint dataset including two clinical cohorts from northern and southern China. The cohorts consisted of 17,360 outpatients who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination in endoscopic clinics. The final model was derived based on unconditional logistic regression, and predictors were selected according to the Akaike information criterion. External validation was carried out with 32,614 participants from a community-based randomized controlled trial. RESULTS This questionnaire-based diagnostic model for malignant gastric lesions had eight predictors, including advanced age, male gender, family history of gastric cancer, low body mass index, unexplained weight loss, consumption of leftover food, consumption of preserved food, and epigastric pain. This model showed high discriminative power in the development set with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.791 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.750-0.831). External validation of the model in the general population generated an AUC of 0.696 (95% CI: 0.570-0.822). This model showed an ideal ability for enriching prevalent malignant gastric lesions when applied to various scenarios. CONCLUSION This easy-to-use questionnaire-based model for diagnosis of prevalent malignant gastric lesions may serve as an effective prescreening tool in clinical opportunistic screening for gastric cancer.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:826-834. [PMID: 36864634 PMCID: PMC10067472 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although gastric cancer patients generally experience drastic weight decrease post-gastrectomy, the impact of weight decrease on type 2 diabetes risk remains unclear. We investigated the type 2 diabetes risk after gastric cancer surgery according to postoperative weight decrease in gastric cancer survivors in South Korea, the country with the world's highest rate of gastric cancer survival. METHODS This retrospective nationwide cohort study included gastric cancer surgery recipients between 2004 and 2014 who survived for ≥5 years post-surgery. We included patients without a history of diabetes at the time of surgery and those who had not received adjuvant chemotherapy before or after the surgery. Postoperative weight loss was defined as the per cent body weight loss at 3 years post-surgery compared with the baseline. The type 2 diabetes risk was evaluated using Cox regression analyses for five groups of postoperative weight decrease. RESULTS In 5618 included gastric cancer surgery recipients (mean age, 55.7 [standard deviation, SD, 10.9] years; 21.9% female; mean body mass index, 23.7 [SD, 2.9] kg/m2 ), 331 patients (5.9%) developed postoperative type 2 diabetes during follow-up duration of 8.1 years (median; interquartile range, 4.8 years; maximum, 15.2 years). Compared with those who gained weight post-surgery, patients with ≥ -15% to < -10% of postoperative weight decrease (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.49-0.87; P = 0.004) had the lowest type 2 diabetes risk. A non-linear association occurred between postoperative weight decrease and the type 2 diabetes risk in gastrectomy recipients (Akaike's information criterion [AIC] for non-linear model, 5423.52; AIC for linear model, 5425.61). CONCLUSIONS A U-shaped non-linear association occurred between the type 2 diabetes risk and postoperative weight decrease in gastric cancer survivors who underwent gastrectomy. The lowest type 2 diabetes risk occurred in patients with ≥ -15% to < -10% of postoperative weight decrease at 3 years.

Comparison between laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for overweight patients with early gastric cancer. Ann Surg Treat Res 2023; 104:18-26. [PMID: 36685775 PMCID: PMC9830043 DOI: 10.4174/astr.2023.104.1.18] [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: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LPPG) has a nutritional advantage over laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), however, may be less beneficial in overweight patients in terms of weight loss. The purpose of this study was to compare LPPG and LDG in overweight patients with early gastric cancer. Methods Clinicopathologic data of overweight patients (body mass index [BMI], ≥25 kg/m2) who underwent LPPG (n = 63) or LDG (n = 183) in 2016-2018 were retrospectively reviewed. In the LDG group, patients with Billroth-II anastomosis were separately grouped (LDG B-II, n = 66). Changes in BMI, hemoglobin, albumin, and total protein were compared among groups. Results Changes in BMI were not significant different among groups. The LPPG group had significantly higher albumin than the LDG group at postoperative 6 months and 1 year. The LPPG group had higher total protein than the LDG group at postoperative 2 years. The LPPG group had a higher complication rate of Clavien-Dindo classification III or higher (20.6%) than the LDG group (8.2%, P = 0.007). However, after excluding pyloric stenosis, there was no significant difference among groups (LPPG vs. LDG, P = 0.290; LPPG vs. LDG B-II, P = 0.921). Conclusion LPPG and LDG groups showed similar weight loss. However, the LPPG group had higher albumin and protein levels than the LDG group of overweight patients. Thus, it is not necessary to select LDG only for weight loss. LPPG may be selected as one option due to its potential nutritional benefit when pyloric stenosis is properly managed.

Effects of individualized dietary counseling on nutritional status and quality of life in post-discharge patients after surgery for gastric cancer: A randomized clinical trial. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1058187. [PMID: 36923419 PMCID: PMC10008882 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1058187] [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: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Currently, the supporting evidence for dietary counseling is insufficient. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of individualized dietary counseling on nutritional outcomes and quality of life (QOL) in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer. Methods This study was a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial. The patients after surgery for gastric cancer were randomly assigned (1:1) to the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group, patients receive individualized dietary counseling based on individual calorie needs and symptom assessment at 24 h before discharge, 14, 21, 30, and 60 days postoperatively. Patients in the control group received routine dietary counseling. The primary endpoint was body mass index (BMI) loss at 30, 60, and 90 days after surgery; the secondary endpoints were calorie and protein intake at 30 and 60 days after surgery, blood parameters, the 90-day readmission rate, and QOL at 90 days after surgery. Results One hundred thirty patients were enrolled; 67 patients were assigned to the intervention group and 63 patients to the control group. Compared with the control group, patients in the intervention group were significantly less BMI loss at 30 days (-0.84 ± 0.65 vs. -1.29 ± 0.83), 60 days (-1.29 ± 0.92 vs. -1.77 ± 1.13), and 90 days (-1.37 ± 1.05 vs. -1.92 ± 1.66) after surgery (all P< 0.05). Subgroups analysis by surgery type showed that the intervention could significantly reduce BMI loss in patients undergoing total and proximal gastrectomy at 30 days (-0.75 ± 0.47 vs. -1.55 ± 1.10), 60 days (-1.59 ± 1.02 vs. -2.55 ± 1.16), and 90 days (-1.44 ± 1.19 vs. -3.26 ± 1.46) after surgery (all P< 0.05). At 60 days after surgery, calorie goals were reached in 35 patients (77.8%) in the intervention group and 14 patients (40.0%) in the control group (P = 0.001), and protein goals were reached in 40 patients (88.9%) in the intervention group and 17 patients (48.6%) in the control group (P< 0.001). Regarding the QOL at 90 days after surgery, the patients in the intervention group had a significantly lower level of fatigue, shortness of breath and stomach pain, better physical function, and cognitive function (P< 0.05). Conclusions Post-discharge individualized dietary counseling is an effective intervention to reduce post-gastrectomy patient weight loss and to elevate calorie intake, protein intake, and QOL.

Body composition dynamics and impact on clinical outcome in gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancer patients undergoing perioperative chemotherapy with the FLOT protocol. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2022:10.1007/s00432-022-04096-w.

Abstract
PURPOSE Perioperative chemotherapy with FLOT constitutes a standard of care approach for locally advanced, resectable gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. We aimed at investigating anthropometric, CT-based and FDG-PET-based body composition parameters and dynamics during this multidisciplinary approach and the impact on clinical outcomes. METHODS This retrospective, single-center study was based on medical records and (FDG-PET)-CT images among gastric/GEJ cancer patients undergoing perioperative FLOT chemotherapy. RESULTS Between 2016 and 2021, 46 gastric/GEJ cancer patients started perioperative FLOT at our tertiary cancer center (Salzburg, Austria). At a median follow-up of 32 months median PFS was 47.4 months and median OS was not reached. The skeletal muscle index (SMI, cm2/m2) turned out to be the only body composition parameter with a statistically significant decrease during pre-operative FLOT (51.3 versus 48.8 cm2/m2, p = 0.02). Neither pre-FLOT body mass index (BMI), nor SMI had an impact on the duration of pre-operative FLOT, the time interval from pre-operative FLOT initiation to surgery, the necessity of pre-operative or post-operative FLOT de-escalation or the likelihood of the start of postoperative chemotherapy. Pre-FLOT BMI (overweight versus normal, HR: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.02-0.65, p = 0.02) and pre-FLOT SMI (sarcopenia versus no sarcopenia, HR: 5.08, 95% CI: 1.27-20.31, p = 0.02) were statistically significantly associated with PFS in the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION The statistically significant SMI loss during pre-operative FLOT and the meaningful impact of baseline SMI and BMI on PFS argue for the implementation of a nutritional screening and support program prior to the initiation of pre-operative FLOT in clinical routine.

Abstract
Recently, the incidence of pancreatectomy for patients with a history of upper abdominal surgery has been increasing. The clinical courses of 307 patients who underwent the pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) were retrospectively reviewed to clarify the impact of a history of gastrectomy in patients undergoing a pancreatectomy for PDAC. Among 307 patients, 28 (9.1%) had a history of gastrectomy, while 279 did not. We compared the difference in clinical course and prognostic outcomes between the groups. In patients with a history of gastrectomy, the 5-year survival rate was 17.6%, which was relatively poorer than that of patients without it (33.4%, P = 0.1329). A multivariate analysis of factors associated with the overall survival rate identified the low preoperative body mass index [BMI < 20.3 kg/m2, hazard ratio (HR) 1.646, P = 0.0190] and adjuvant chemotherapy (not-completed, HR 1.652, P = 0.0170) as independent prognostic factors. In patients with a history of gastrectomy, there were significantly more patients with poor prognostic factors, including a low preoperative BMI (P = 0.0009) and low completion rate of adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.0294) as compared with those without a history of gastrectomy. A low preoperative BMI significantly reduced the completion rate of adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.0186), which may lead to poor prognostic outcomes. In conclusion, perioperative nutritional management is important to reduce postoperative BMI loss and obtain a better prognosis after a pancreatectomy for PDAC in patients with a history of gastrectomy.

Double tract reconstruction versus double flap technique: short-term clinical outcomes after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. Surg Endosc 2022; 36:5243-5256. [PMID: 34997340 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08902-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) is increasingly preferred for operative management of early gastric cancer, although there is no consensus on a standard reconstruction method after resection. Two popular methods used after LPG are double tract reconstruction (DTR) and double flap technique (DFT). This study assessed comprehensive clinical outcomes including quality of life (QoL) and body composition change 1 year after DFT and DTR. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data from 51 to 18 patients who underwent DTR and DFT, respectively, between September 2014 and December 2018. Short-term surgical outcomes, presence of reflux esophagitis, nutritional supplementation, medications, nutritional status (laboratory results and body composition analysis), and QoL measured preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively were compared between both groups. RESULTS Both groups did not differ significantly in clinicopathological characteristics. The DFT as compared to the DTR group required significantly longer time for anastomosis (79.4 vs. 60.9 min, p < 0.001) and use of fewer staplers (3.39 vs. 6.86, p < 0.001). While the presence of endoscopic reflux esophagitis and iron/vitamin B12 replacement were comparable, the DTR group showed a higher tendency of taking anti-reflux medications for reflux symptoms (DTR: 13.7% vs. DFT: 0.0%, p = 0.177). The DTR group lost significantly more weight (p = 0.038) and body fat (p = 0.009). QoL analysis showed significant deterioration in diarrhea, eating restriction, and taste problems in both groups (DTR group: p = 0.008, p < 0.001, p = 0.010, respectively, and DFT group: p = 0.017, p = 0.024, p = 0.034, respectively). However, only the DTR group showed significant deterioration in physical function (p = 0.009), role function (p = 0.033), nausea/vomiting (p = 0.041), appetite loss (p = 0.019), dysphagia (p = 0.001), pain (p = 0.025), and body image (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Despite requiring a longer anastomosis time, performing DFT after LPG was shown to be an ideal reconstruction method in terms of better 1-year QoL and nutritional outcome. Further larger studies over longer postoperative periods are necessary to confirm our findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer are regularly followed-up for the early detection of recurrence and postoperative symptom management. However, there is a lack of evidence with regard to proper surveillance intervals and diagnostic tools. This study aims to evaluate whether frequent surveillance tests have a survival benefit or improve the quality of life in patients who underwent curative resection for advanced gastric cancer. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The STOFOLUP trial is an investigator-initiated, parallel-assigned, multicentre randomised controlled trial involving 16 hospitals in the Republic of Korea. Patients (n=886) diagnosed with pathological stage II or III gastric adenocarcinoma will be randomised to either the 3-month or the 6-month group at a 1:1 ratio, stratified by trial site and tumour stage. Patients allocated to the 3-month group will undergo an abdominal CT scan every 3 months postoperatively and those allocated to the 6-month group will undergo CT every 6 months. The primary endpoint is 3-year overall survival and the secondary endpoints are quality of life, as assessed using KOrean QUality of life in Stomach cancer patients Study group-40, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 and the stomach cancer-specific module (STO22), and nutritional outcomes. Other survival data including data concerning 3-year disease-free survival, recurrence-free survival, gastric cancer-specific survival and postrecurrence survival will also be estimated. The first patient was enrolled on July 2021 and active patient enrolment is currently underway. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of eight of the participating hospitals (NCC 2021-0085, KBSMC2021-01-059, SMC 2021-01-140, KC21OEDE0082, 4-2021-0281, AJIRB-MED-INT-20-608, 2021-0515 and H-2102-093-1198). This study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, national or international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04740346.

Early Weight Loss as a Prognostic Factor in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer: Analyses from REGARD, RAINBOW, and RAINFALL Phase III Studies. Oncologist 2021; 26:e1538-e1547. [PMID: 34037286 PMCID: PMC8417853 DOI: 10.1002/onco.13836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Weight loss is common in advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEA); however, the prognostic implications of weight loss during the first cycle (C1) of chemotherapy remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the impact of early weight loss during systemic treatment as a potential prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced G/GEA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis of three phase III studies of ramucirumab. Patients were categorized into two groups: weight loss of ≥3% and <3% based on weight change during C1 (3-4 weeks) of treatment. OS by weight groups was assessed for each study and as a pooled meta-analysis. The effect of C1 weight change on patient survival was evaluated using univariate and multivariate Cox models. RESULTS A total of 1,464 patients with weight data at the end of C1 were analyzed: REGARD (n = 311), RAINBOW (n = 591), and RAINFALL (n = 562). For all three studies, there were fewer patients in the weight loss ≥3% than <3% group. OS was numerically shorter for patients with weight loss of ≥3% than for patients with weight loss of <3% during C1 irrespective of treatment arm. Similar treatment independent effects of early weight loss on OS were observed in the meta-analysis. Overall, early weight loss ≥3% was associated with shorter survival in patients receiving active drug as well as placebo/best supportive care. CONCLUSION This large post hoc analysis demonstrated that weight loss of ≥3% during C1 was a negative prognostic factor for OS in patients with advanced G/GEA. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This comprehensive analysis examining early weight loss during systemic treatment as a predictor of survival outcomes in patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEA) includes a large sample size, reliable on-treatment data reported in well-conducted phase III clinical trials, and global representation of cancer patients with advanced G/GEA. Understanding the impact of on-treatment weight loss is clinically relevant and may represent an opportunity for targeted interventions.

Abstract
Background: The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between two malnutrition assessment scales, perioperative nutrition screen (PONS) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002), with postoperative complications in elderly patients after noncardiac surgery. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study. Elderly patients (65–90 years) undergoing noncardiac surgery were enrolled in Peking University First Hospital. Malnutrition was screened by PONS and NRS2002 at the day before surgery. Multivariable analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between PONS and NRS2002 and postoperative 30-day complications. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to evaluate the predictive value of PONS and NRS2002 in predicting postoperative complications. Results: A total of 915 patients with mean age of 71.6 ± 5.2 years were consecutively enrolled from September 21, 2017, to April 10, 2019. The incidence of malnutrition was 27.3% (250/915) by PONS ≥ 1 and 53.6% (490/915) by NRS2002 ≥ 3. The overall incidence of complications within postoperative 30 days was 45.8% (419/915). After confounders were adjusted, malnutrition by PONS ≥ 1 (OR 2.308, 95% CI 1.676–3.178, P < 0.001), but not NRS2002 ≥ 3 (OR 1.313, 95% CI 0.973–1.771, P = 0.075), was related with an increased risk of postoperative complications. ROC curve analysis showed that the performances of PONS [area under the ROC curve (AUC) 0.595, 95% CI 0.558–0.633] showed very weak improvement in predicting postoperative complications than NRS2002 score (AUC 0.577, 95% CI 0.540–0.614). Conclusion: The present study found that malnutrition diagnosed by PONS was related with an increased risk of postoperative complications. The performances of PONS and NRS2002 were poor in predicting overall postoperative complications. Clinical Trial Registration:www.chictr.org.cn, identifier: ChiCTR-OOC-17012734.

Abstract
Purpose The present study was designed to explore the prognostic value of preoperative inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers in stage III gastric cancer (GC) patients with adjuvant chemotherapy and to develop a novel scoring system called the inflammatory-nutritional prognostic score (INPS). Methods A total of 513 patients with pathological stage III GC undergoing radical gastrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy from 2010 to 2017 were enrolled in the study. Clinicopathological characteristics and blood test parameters of individual patients were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was used for feature selection to construct INPS. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests. The nomogram was generated based on the result of the multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazards model. The model was assessed by the concordance index (C-index) and was internally validated by bootstraps. Results According to the results of Lasso Cox regression and K-M survival curves, INPS was determined as follows: a low body mass index (BMI) (<23 kg/m2), a low prealbumin (<180 mg/L), a high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (≥2.7), a high platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (≥209.4), a low lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) (<2.8), and a low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (<45.1); each were scored as 1, and the remaining values were scored as 0. The individual scores were then summed up to construct the INPS and further divided into 4 groups: Low Risk (INPS 0); Low-medium Risk (INPS 1); High-medium Risk (INPS 2-4); and High Risk (INPS 5-6). In multivariate analysis, INPS was an independent predictor of overall survival (OS) in stage III GC, with the 5-year OS rates of 70.8%, 57.4%, 41.5%, and 30.6%, respectively. The nomogram based on INPS and other independent predictors (gender, pT stage, pN stage, lymphovascular invasion, and CEA level) showed good predicting performance with a C-index of 0.707, which was superior to the TNM stage alone (C-index 0.645, p=0.008) and was internally validated with the corrected C-index of 0.693. Conclusion Preoperative INPS was an independent prognostic factor of stage III GC patients with radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The nomogram based on INPS may serve as a simple and potential model in risk stratification and guiding treatment strategies in clinical practice.

Effects of a high body mass index on the short-term outcomes and prognosis after radical gastrectomy. Surg Today 2021; 51:1169-1178. [PMID: 33693964 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-021-02259-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effects of a high body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1729 patients with stage I to III gastric cancer who received open radical gastrectomy from February 2003 to August 2011. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their BMI: a low BMI group (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal BMI group (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2), and high BMI group (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). RESULTS A total of 871 patients were included in the final analysis, of which the median BMI was 22.7 kg/m2 (range 13.6-44.9 kg/m2). A high BMI increased the risk of postoperative intestinal fistula but not the risk of a reduced number of examined lymph nodes or hospital death. Furthermore, a high BMI did not negatively affect the overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS A high BMI increased the operative morbidity after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. However, a high BMI did not negatively affect the quality of lymphadenectomy or the OS of gastric cancer patients in experienced high-volume centers. A careful approach during operation and meticulous perioperative management are required for gastric cancer patients with a high BMI.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies with high mortality and substantial morbidity. Although the traditional treatment strategies for GC revolve around surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, none have been able to optimally treat most affected patients. To improve clinical outcomes and overcome potential GC resistance, we established a three-dimensional (3D) culturing platform that accurately predicts drug responses in a time- and cost-effective manner. We collected tumor tissues from patients following surgeries and cultured them for 3 days using our protocol. We first evaluated cell proliferation, viability, and apoptosis using the following markers: Ki67 and cleaved caspase 3 (Cas3). We demonstrated that cell viability was maintained for 72 h in culture and that the tumor microenvironments and vascular integrities of the tissues were intact throughout the culture period. We then administered chemotherapeutics to assess drug responses and found differential sensitivity across different patient-derived tissues, enabling us to determine individualized medication plans. Overall, our study validated this rapid, cost-effective, scalable, and reproducible protocol for GC tissue culture that can be employed for drug response assessments. Our 3D culture platform paves a new way for personalized medication in GC and other tumors and can greatly impact future oncological research.

Prediction Model for Screening Patients at Risk of Malnutrition After Gastric Cancer Surgery. Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 28:4471-4481. [PMID: 33481124 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-09559-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition after gastrectomy is associated with a poor prognosis; however, no accurate model for predicting post-gastrectomy malnutrition exists. Hence, we conducted a retrospective study to develop a prediction model identifying gastric cancer patients at high risk of malnutrition after gastrectomy. METHOD Gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with more than one weight measurement during a 3-year follow-up period were included. Malnutrition was defined as body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 kg/m2 according to the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism diagnostic criteria. BMI-loss pattern was analyzed using a group-based trajectory model. A prediction model for malnutrition 6 months after gastrectomy was developed based on significant risk factors, and then validated. RESULTS Overall, 1421 patients were examined. The BMI-loss trajectory model showed significant BMI loss at 6 months after gastrectomy. Severe BMI loss (mean 21.5%; n = 109) was significantly associated with the elderly, female sex, higher preoperative BMI, advanced cancer stage, open surgery, total gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y reconstruction, chemotherapy, and postoperative complications (all p < 0.05). Malnutrition 6 months after gastrectomy was observed in 152 (11.9%) of 1281 patients. Preoperative BMI, sex, and type of operation were included in the final prediction model as predictive factors (p < 0.05). The C-index of the developmental set and bootstrap validation of the prediction model was 0.91 (95% confidence interval 0.89-0.94) and 0.91, respectively. CONCLUSION The prediction model for the risk of malnutrition 6 months after gastrectomy was accurately developed, with three independent risk factors: low preoperative BMI, female sex, and total or proximal gastrectomy.

Association of systemic inflammation and body mass index with survival in patients with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas. Cancer Biol Med 2021; 18:283-297. [PMID: 33628601 PMCID: PMC7877168 DOI: 10.20892/j.issn.2095-3941.2020.0246] [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: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The systemic inflammation index and body mass index (BMI) are easily accessible markers that can predict mortality. However, the prognostic value of the combined use of these two markers remains unclear. The goal of this study was therefore to evaluate the association of these markers with outcomes based on a large cohort of patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 2,542 consecutive patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma between 2009 and 2014 were included. Systemic inflammation was quantified by the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). High systemic inflammation was defined as NLR ≥ 3, and underweight was defined as BMI < 18.5 kg/m2. Results Among 2,542 patients, NLR ≥ 3 and underweight were common [627 (25%) and 349 (14%), respectively]. In the entire cohort, NLR ≥ 3 or underweight independently predicted overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR): 1.236, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.069-1.430; and HR: 1.600, 95% CI: 1.350-1.897, respectively] and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR: 1.230, 95% CI: 1.054-1.434; and HR: 1.658, 95% CI: 1.389-1.979, respectively). Patients with both NLR ≥ 3 and underweight (vs. neither) had much worse OS (HR: 2.445, 95% CI: 1.853-3.225) and RFS (HR: 2.405, 95% CI: 1.802-3.209). Furthermore, we observed similar results in subgroup analyses according to pathological stage, age, and postoperative chemotherapy. Conclusions Our results showed that preoperative elevated NLR and decreased BMI had a significant negative effect on survival. Underweight combined with severe inflammation could enhance prognostication. Taking active therapeutic measures to reduce inflammation and increase nutrition may help improve outcomes.

Abstract
Background/Aims The survival rate of gastric cancer (GC) is known to be higher in patients with a family history (FH) of GC. There is an association between a polymorphism in the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFB1) gene and the risk of GC in patients with first-degree relatives with GC. This study was performed to investigate whether a FH affects GC outcomes according to the TGFB1 C-509T polymorphism. Methods TGFB1 was genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 1,143 GC patients, including 216 patients (18.9%) with first-degree relatives with GC. Results The proportion of stage I–II GCs was significantly higher in patients with a FH than in those without a FH of GC (83.8 vs 74.9%, p=0.005). The association between a FH of GC and stage I–II GC was not significant in subgroups divided based on the TGFB1 C-509T polymorphism and sex. A FH did not affect the overall survival rate of GC in patient with all stages and each stage. The overall survival rates were not significantly different between patients with the CC and CT/TT genotypes of the TGFB1-509 polymorphism. Conclusions Patient with a FH of GC had lower cancer stage (I–II) at diagnosis than those without a FH of GC, but there was no significant difference in overall survival between the patients with and without a FH of GC. A FH did not influence the tumor stage or overall survival in patients stratified by the presence of the TGFB1 C-509T polymorphism.

Abstract
AIM Skeletal muscle loss is often observed in advanced cancer patients. This study investigates whether skeletal muscle loss is associated with survival outcomes of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients after induction chemotherapy (IC) in a Japanese cohort. Whether serum inflammatory markers are associated with skeletal muscle changes is also addressed. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 60 patients with stage III/IV EOC who underwent IC between 2010 and 2017. Skeletal muscle area (SMA) was measured at the third lumbar vertebrae level on a single axial computed tomography-scan image. Receiver operating curve analysis was used to determine cut-off values of pre- and post-IC SMA and SMA ratio (SMAR). Univariate and multivariate analyses of overall survival (OS) were conducted using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression model, respectively. RESULTS The SMA decreased significantly after IC (P = 0.019). The cut-off value between low and high SMAR was 0.96. High or low SMAR was observed in 34 (57%) and 26 (43%) patients, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that low SMAR was associated with poor OS (P = 0.025). Multivariate analysis showed that incomplete resection during interval debulking surgery (hazard ratio, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.11-0.80; P = 0.016) and a low SMAR (hazard ratio, 3.17; 95% CI, 1.18-9.06; P = 0.022) were independent predictors of poor OS. Of the serum inflammatory markers investigated, only post-IC absolute neutrophil count correlated significantly with SMAR (P = 0.012). CONCLUSION Low SMAR can be used to predict poor prognosis in advanced EOC patients who have undergone IC.

Abstract
Aims The study aimed to explore factors contributing to body weight change over time in gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy, in order to find risk factors to implement nutritional intervention beforehand. Methods A cohort of gastric cancer patients who were treated with gastrectomy from January to March 2019 at a university affiliated hospital in Shanghai were consecutively identified in this study. Demographics, disease related information, nutrition knowledge, attitude, and practice score were collected before gastrectomy. In addition, body weight before surgery (T0), body weight at one month (T1), two months (T2), and three months (T3) after gastrectomy were recorded. Generalized estimation equation was used to describe body weight change and analyze factors contributing to body weight change after surgery. Results There were 49 patients recruited in the study. Patient body weight decreased by 9.2% at T1 (Wald χ = 271.173, P <0.001), 11.0% at T2 (Wald χ2 = 277.267, P <0.001), and 11.4% at T3 compared to baseline at T0 (Wald χ = 284.076, P <0.001). The results of GEE for multivariable analysis showed that surgery type (Wald χ = 6.027, P = 0.014) and preoperative BMI (Wald χ = 12.662, P = 0.005) were contributing factors of body weight change. Compared with distal gastrectomy patients, total gastrectomy patients experienced greater body weight loss (β = 2.8%, P = 0.014). Compared with patients with BMI&λτ; 18.5 kg/m2, patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2experienced greater body weight loss (β = 4.5% P = 0.026). Conclusion Gastric cancer patients experienced significant weight loss during 3 months after gastrectomy. Total gastrectomy and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2were risk factors to postoperative body weight loss for GC patients. The results suggested hinted that clinician should pay attention to postoperative nutrition status of patient undergoing total gastrectomy and obesity patients.

Effects of nutritional interventions on nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2020; 38:28-42. [PMID: 32690170 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2020.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Nutritional interventions may improve quality of life, morbidity and mortality in gastric cancer (GC) patients. A growing number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated different nutritional strategies - oral nutritional supplements (ONS), enteral nutrition (EN), enteral immunonutrition (EIN), parenteral nutrition (PN) and nutritional counselling - in GC patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the effects of these nutritional interventions on nutritional status of GC patients undergoing gastrectomy and/or chemotherapy. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in Pubmed, Web of Science and Scopus databases from inception to March 2020, based on fixed inclusion and exclusion criteria. Effect sizes were estimated with mean difference (MD) or standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and heterogeneity was assessed by measuring inconsistency (I2) based on chi-squared test. Pooled analyses and quality assessment were performed with Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS A total of 25 RCTs were identified, including ONS (n = 7), EN (n = 6), PN (n = 4), EIN (n = 5) and nutrition counselling (n = 3) interventions. Ten RCTs with 1838 patients were deemed eligible for pooled analyses. Body weight loss was found lower in ONS group versus control group (MD 0.77; 95% CI -0.02-1.56; p = 0.05). PN and EIN studies did not assess body weight, while all nutrition counselling studies did not show significant differences (p > 0.05). Twenty-three out of 25 studies evaluated serum protein levels - albumin (ALB) and/or prealbumin (PA) and/or transferrin (TF). ALB levels did not significantly differ (p > 0.05) in 4 ONS studies. Significant improvements of PA levels from baseline to postoperative day (POD) ≥ 7 were shown in EN compared with PN groups (MD 19.90; 95% CI 10.09-29.70; p < 0.0001). Compared with EN, EIN interventions showed no significant improvements of ALB, PA and TF levels (p > 0.05) from baseline to POD ≥ 7. Amino-acid enriched PN showed no significant improvements of ALB, PA and TF levels (p > 0.05) while the effect of omega-3 enriched PN was debated. Only three studies out of 25 evaluated total fat mass and skeletal muscle mass and no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between ONS versus control groups. CONCLUSIONS Whereas our meta-analysis showed promising results from ONS and EN interventions the optimal delivery of GC nutritional support and nutritional status assessment are still unclear. Moreover, the majority of studies did not consider muscle mass and strength as nutritional parameters. This review highlights the crucial need to close this research gap, with high-quality, large RCTs, adopting effective nutritional assessment tools to evaluate the appropriateness of nutrition strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional status and quality of life deteriorate significantly after total gastrectomy for patients with gastric cancer. The numerous types of reconstruction proposed by medical researchers around the world have limited effect. This prospective, randomized clinical trial compared functional jejunal interposition with Roux-en-Y anastomosis to identify the optimal reconstruction procedure. METHODS This was a multi-center, prospective, randomized control trial. The enrolled patients were randomly assigned into the functional jejunal interposition group and the Roux-en-Y group. All patients were followed up at regular intervals after surgery. The endpoints were postoperative nutritional status, quality of life, and long-term postoperative complications. RESULTS A total of 113 patients were enrolled from August 2012 to September 2017. Until March 2018, the median follow-up period was 18 months. At 12 months after surgery, food intake per meal (P = 0.021), Prognosis Nutritional Index (P = 0.015), weight loss (P = 0.019), and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale score (P = 0.015) of the functional jejunal interposition group were significantly worse than those of the Roux-en-Y group. There was no significant difference in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complications, time of first flatus and defecation after surgery, postoperative plasma nutritional parameters, Visick score, Eastern Cooperative Group physical condition score, and survival rate. CONCLUSION For patients with long-term survival after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, the Roux-en-Y anastomosis is a better choice compared with functional jejunal interposition.

Zhao LL, Huang H, Wang Y, Wang TB, Zhou H, Ma FH, Ren H, Niu PH, Zhao DB, Chen YT. Lifestyle factors and long-term survival of gastric cancer patients: A large bidirectional cohort study from China. World J Gastroenterol 2020; 26:1613-1627. [PMID: 32327910 PMCID: PMC7167420 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i14.1613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lifestyle factors such as body mass index (BMI), alcohol drinking, and cigarette smoking, are likely to impact the prognosis of gastric cancer, but the evidence has been inconsistent.
AIM To investigate the association of lifestyle factors and long-term prognosis of gastric cancer patients in the China National Cancer Center.
METHODS Patients with gastric cancer were identified from the China National Cancer Center Gastric Cancer Database 1998-2018. Survival analysis was performed via Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models.
RESULTS In this study, we reviewed 18441 cases of gastric cancer. Individuals who were overweight or obese were associated with a positive smoking and drinking history (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively). Current smokers were more likely to be current alcohol drinkers (61.3% vs 10.1% vs 43.2% for current, never, and former smokers, respectively, P < 0.001). Multivariable results indicated that BMI at diagnosis had no significant effect on prognosis. In gastrectomy patients, factors independently associated with poor survival included older age (HR = 1.20, 95%CI: 1.05-1.38, P = 0.001), any weight loss (P < 0.001), smoking history of more than 30 years (HR = 1.14, 95%CI: 1.04-1.24, P = 0.004), and increasing pTNM stage (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION In conclusion, our results contribute to a better understanding of lifestyle factors on the overall burden of gastric cancer and long-term prognosis. In these patients, weight loss (both in the 0 to 10% and > 10% groups) but not BMI at diagnosis was related to survival outcomes. With regard to other factors, smoking history of more than 30 years conferred a worse prognosis only in patients who underwent gastrectomy. Extensive efforts are needed to elucidate mechanisms targeting the complex effects of lifestyle factors.

Int J Med Sci 2020; 17:2276-2284. [PMID: 32922192 PMCID: PMC7484638 DOI: 10.7150/ijms.46530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The present study focused on the long-term prognostic value of dynamic body mass index (BMI) change in gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy. Methods: Clinical data from a total of 576 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to demonstrate the association between dynamic BMI variables (BMI before surgery, 1 month, 6 months or 12 months after surgery) and prognosis (DFS and OS). The correlation between BMI loss after surgery and survival outcomes was also evaluated. Results: Post-operative BMI, especially BMI at one year after surgery (p<0.001), was an independent risk factor of recurrence and mortality, wherein patients with high-BMI (≥23) showed significantly better outcomes than patients with normal-BMI (18.5-23) (DFS, HR:0.49; 95% CI:0.31-0.78; OS, HR:0.30; 95% CI: 0.15-0.59). On the contrary, low-BMI (<18.5) patients presented with worse outcomes (DFS, HR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.00-1.80; OS, HR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.20-2.34). In addition, compared with moderate BMI loss (≤10%), severe postoperative BMI loss (>10%) at one year was independently associated with substantially worse prognosis for DFS (HR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.15-2.08) and OS (HR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.02-2.06). Subgroup analysis indicated that gender (p=0.03), extent of resection (p<0.001), tumor site (p=0.001) and perineural invasion (p=0.007) were associated with postoperative BMI loss at one year. The prognostic value of postoperative BMI loss at one year was consistent among most clinicopathological subgroups, except for tumor site (interaction p=0.025 for OS). Conclusion: In Chinese gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy, higher postoperative BMI (≥ 23) was significantly associated with longer survival time, whereas severe BMI loss (>10%) at one year after surgery was associated with worse outcomes. Thus, body weight maintenance after treatment is important, and dynamic monitoring of body weight and nutritional status should be emphasized in clinical practice.

Muscle mass, assessed at diagnosis by L3-CT scan as a prognostic marker of clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Nutr 2019; 39:2045-2054. [PMID: 31718876 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2019.10.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2019] [Revised: 09/18/2019] [Accepted: 10/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Computed tomographic (CT) imaging at third lumbar vertebra (L3), routinely used by oncologists, represents a reliable tool to quantify muscle mass. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy of CT scan to define muscle mass as a prognostic marker in gastric cancer (GC) patients undergoing gastrectomy and/or chemotherapy. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and the secondary outcomes included postoperative length of hospital stay (P-LOS), total and severe complications in GC patients undergoing gastrectomy. METHODS Three electronic bibliographic databases - MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials - were used to conduct a systematic literature search based on fixed inclusion and exclusion criteria, until April 2019. The adjusted and unadjusted hazard ratio (HR), odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to analyse the dichotomous variables (OS, RFS, total and severe complications) and continuous variables (P-LOS). Random- and fixed effects models were used according to the heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 5610 GC patients from 20 studies were identified. Low muscle mass at diagnosis was found in 32.7% of GC patients and was significantly associated with poorer OS (HR 2.02, 95% CI 1.71-2.38, p < 0.00001, I2 = 47%) and worse RFS (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.71-2.26, p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%). Meta-analysis of adjusted HR from multivariable analyses confirmed the association between OS and low muscle mass (HR 1.89, 95% CI 1.68-2.12, p < 0.00001, I2 = 36%). Furthermore, low muscle mass and poorer OS were significantly associated in metastatic GC patients exclusively undergoing chemotherapy (HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.23-2.11, p < 0.0006, I2 = 18%). Moreover, preoperative low muscle mass was significantly associated with longer P-LOS (MD 1.19, 95% CI 0.68-1.71, p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%), higher risk of postoperative complications (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.17-2.66, p = 0.007, I2 = 77%) and severe complications (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.03-2.29, p = 0.04, I2 = 49%) in GC patients undergoing gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS Low muscle mass, assessed by L3 CT-scan, affects almost 1/3 of GC patients at diagnosis and acts as a negative prognostic marker on many clinical outcomes. Therefore, identifying GC patients with low muscle mass at diagnosis or at follow-up visit should be recommendable. Clinical nutritionists should be part of tumor boards meetings to screen low muscle mass in order to prompt personalized nutritional support.

Preoperative Plasma Fibrinogen and Serum Albumin Score Is an Independent Prognostic Factor for Resectable Stage II-III Gastric Cancer. DISEASE MARKERS 2019; 2019:9060845. [PMID: 31781312 PMCID: PMC6875287 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9060845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2019] [Revised: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 09/05/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Background Radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is recognized as the standard treatment for resectable advanced gastric cancer. Preoperative fibrinogen and albumin measurements may bring clinical benefits in terms of providing advanced notice of a poor prognosis or recurrence in patients undergoing radical resection. The aim of this study was to identify markers that are predictive of a poor prognosis prior to surgery. Methods Eight hundred forty-two consecutive patients who underwent curative radical gastrectomy at our hospital between 2008 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Based on plasma fibrinogen and serum albumin levels, preoperative fibrinogen and albumin scores (Fib-Alb scores) were investigated, and the prognostic significance was determined. Results The patients were classified according to a Fib-Alb score of 0 (n = 376), 1 (n = 327), or 2 (n = 139). When the correlation between the response rate and the change in the Fib-Alb score was investigated, the response rate was significantly lower in patients with an increased Fib-Alb score than in the other patients. In the survival analysis, patients in the Fib-Alb high-score group exhibited significantly worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P = 0.030) than patients in the other groups. A multivariate analysis using clinical stage and the change in the Fib-Alb score as covariates revealed that a change in the Fib-Alb score (Fib-Alb score 1, HR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.03-1.66, P = 0.028; Fib-Alb score 2, HR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.20-2.17, P = 0.001) was a significant independent predictive factor for RFS. Conclusions The prognosis of patients with high fibrinogen and low albumin levels is poor. The Fib-Alb score was shown to be an independent prognostic factor for postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy.

Abstract
AIMS AND METHODS This multicenter retrospective study aims to evaluate the correlations between Body Weight Loss (BWL), Body Mass Index (BMI) and clinical outcomes (ORR, PFS, and OS) of advanced gastric cancer (aGC) patients treated with second-line ramucirumab-based therapy in a "real-life" setting. RESULTS From December 2014 to October 2018, 101 consecutive aGC patients progressed to a first-line chemotherapy were treated with ramucirumab alone (10.9%) or in combination with paclitaxel (89.1%). Median BMI was 21.2 kg/m2 and mBWL since first-line treatment commencement was 4.5%. Among 53 patients who underwent primary tumor resection (PTR), 73.6% experienced BWL, while 26.4% did not experience BWL (p = 0.0429). Patients who underwent PTR had a significantly higher probability of experiencing BWL (yes vs no) [OR = 2.35 (95% CI 1.02-5.42), p = 0.0439]. Among the 89 evaluable patients, ORR was 26.9% (95% CI 17.2-40.1). At a median follow-up of 17.3 months, mPFS was 5.4 months (95% CI 3.6-6.8) and mOS was 8.7 months (95% CI 7.3-11.9). In the multivariate analysis, only ECOG-PS and BMI were confirmed independent predictors for shorter PFS [HR = 1.69 (95% CI 1.01-2.82), p = 0.04] [HR = 1.97 (95% CI 1.12-3.46), p = 0.01] and OS [HR = 1.69 (95% CI 1.01-2.83), p = 0.04] [HR = 2.08 (95% CI 1.17-3.70), p = 0.01]. CONCLUSION Efficacy of ramucirumab is confirmed in this "real-life" analysis. BWL seems not to have correlations with clinical outcomes in these patients, while BMI and ECOG-PS remain major prognostic factors. A possible explanation for the lack of prognostic effect of BWL might be the proportion of patients subjected to PTR in this series (52.5%).

Nutritional safety of oncometabolic surgery for early gastric cancer patients: a prospective single-arm pilot study using a historical control group for comparison. Surg Endosc 2019; 34:275-283. [PMID: 30927123 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-019-06763-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 03/18/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oncometabolic surgery (OS) is a modification of the Roux-en Y reconstruction method, in which the lengths of the biliopancreatic and Roux limbs are longer than that with conventional surgery (CS). Although OS is performed to improve postoperative glycemic control in gastric cancer patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), its postoperative nutritional safety has not been clarified. This prospective pilot study evaluated the safety and feasibility of OS in early gastric cancer patients. METHODS This study evaluated 20 patients with clinical T1N0 stage and preoperative body mass index (BMI) ≥ 32.5 kg/m2, or ≥ 27.5 kg/m2 with comorbidities, who underwent OS. Primary outcomes were cumulative incidences of anemia and deficiencies in iron and vitamin B12 after 1 year. The outcomes were compared to those of a matched historical control group. RESULTS The cumulative incidences of anemia (15.0% vs. 10.0%, P = 0.99), iron deficiency (15.0% vs. 10.0%, P = 0.99), and vitamin B12 deficiency (10.0% vs. 0%, P = 0.47) did not differ significantly in the OS and CS groups. However, median vitamin B12 concentration tended to be lower (395.8 vs. 493.7 pg/mL, P = 0.06) and reductions in vitamin B12 concentration tended to be greater (174.7 vs. 123.0 pg/mL, P = 0.07) in the OS group. BMI loss was similar in the two groups (2.9 vs. 2.8 kg/m2, P = 0.80). Remission rates of hypertension (68.8% vs. 41.2%, P = 0.22) and T2DM (77.8% vs. 50.0%, P = 0.58) were higher in the OS group. CONCLUSION Nutritional parameters did not differ significantly in the OS and CS groups. Vitamin B12 levels should be carefully monitored after OS.
