Surgery 2024; 176:1402-1411. [PMID: 39181724 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A single metric does not sufficiently capture the multidimensional and complex perioperative nature of treatment for patients with gastric cancer. There is a newly developed composite indicator, called textbook outcome, that reflects the "ideal" surgical outcome. However, limited evidence exists for the long-term prognosis of textbook outcome in patients with gastric cancer. Thus, this study was aimed at assessing the association between textbook outcome and long-term oncologic prognosis after gastrectomy. METHODS In total, 2,658 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy between January 2004 and December 2017 were included. The primary endpoint was 5-year conditional survival (if the patient survived the first 30 days after surgery). Textbook outcome was defined as retrieved ≥15 lymph nodes, pR0 resection, complete-potentially curative resection during operation, hospitalization ≤21 days, no reinterventions, no severe postoperative complications, no hospital readmission ≤30 days after discharge, no unplanned intensive care unit treatment, and no 30-day postoperative mortality. Multivariable analysis was performed to evaluate the adjusted predictors of textbook outcome. A Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between achieving textbook outcome parameters and long-term oncologic prognosis. RESULTS A total of 1,770 (66.6%) of the 2,658 patients achieved all textbook outcome metrics in this study. The textbook outcome group displayed a greater 5-year conditional overall survival than the nontextbook outcome group (64.7% vs 40.2%, P < .001). The 5-year conditional disease-free survival of the patients with textbook outcomes was strongly superior to that of the patients without textbook outcomes (63.1% vs 37.6%, P < .001). Textbook outcome was independently associated with longer 5-year conditional overall survival and disease-free survival (hazard ratio 0.494 [0.439-0.557] and hazard ratio 0.487 [0.433-0.547], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Attaining textbook outcome is strongly related to an improved long-term oncologic prognosis for patients with gastric cancer, underscoring the need for continued efforts to enhance surgical care quality.

[PMID: 38330541 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108002] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) in gastric cancer surgery is a multidimensional measure of surgical quality. However, its impact on long-term survival after laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is unclear. This study aims to evaluate TO in LG, assess its hospital-level relevance, and examine its association with long-term survival. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 2278 consecutive gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) from January 2004 to December 2017. We determined TO achievement rates, compared preoperative and intraoperative variables between TO and non-TO groups, identified independent predictors of TO, and assessed long-term oncologic outcomes using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 1540 LG patients were analyzed, with 994 (64.5%) achieving TO. The least frequently achieved metric was 'hospital stays ≤21 days' (83.4%), followed by 'lymph nodes retrieved ≥15' (84.0%). Factors independently associated with reduced TO likelihood included age ≥65 years, BMI ≥25, ASA III, conversion to open surgery, operation time ≥260 min, and estimated blood loss ≥150 ml. Furthermore, TO was independently linked to improved 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR 0.519 [0.443-0.609] and HR 0.517 [0.443-0.604], respectively). CONCLUSION Implementing the TO concept in LG provides a benchmark for achieving improved prognoses and empowers surgeons to devise strategies for enhancing surgical care quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, there is insufficient medical evidence to determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy is necessary for T2N0M0 gastric cancer.
AIM To obtain a risk score to assess the need for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with T2N0M0 gastric cancer.
METHODS We identified 325 patients with pathological T2N0M0 stage primary gastric cancer at the National Cancer Center between 2011 and 2018. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to predict factors affecting prognosis. Vascular invasion, tumor site, and body mass index were assessed, and a scoring system was established. We compared the survival outcomes and benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy between the different subgroups.
RESULTS Five-year survival rates of the score 0, 1, 2, and 3 groups were 92%, 95%, 80%, and 50%, respectively (P < 0.001). In the score 2-3 group, five-year survival rates for patients in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and postoperative observation group were 95% and 61%, respectively (P = 0.021).
CONCLUSION For patients with T2N0M0 stage gastric cancer and two or more risk factors, adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 gastrectomy may have a survival benefit.

Association of Obesity with Worse Operative and Oncologic Outcomes for Patients Undergoing Gastric Cancer Resection. Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 28:7040-7050. [PMID: 33830355 PMCID: PMC8987625 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-021-09880-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND How obesity has an impact on operative and oncologic outcomes for gastric cancer patients is unclear, and the influence of obesity on response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has not been evaluated. METHODS Patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for primary gastric cancer between 2000 and 2018 were retrospectively identified. After stratification for NAC, operative morbidity, mortality, overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were compared among three body mass index (BMI) categories: normal BMI (< 25 kg/m2), mild obesity (25-35 kg/m2), and severe obesity (≥ 35 kg/m2). RESULTS During the study period, 984 patients underwent upfront surgery, and 484 patients received NAC. Tumor stage did not differ among the BMI groups. However, the rates of pathologic response to NAC were significantly lower for the patients with severe obesity (10% vs 40%; p < 0.001). Overall complications were more frequent among the obese patients (44.3% for obese vs 24.9% for normal BMI, p < 0.001). Intraabdominal infections were also more frequent in obese patients (13.9% for obese vs 4.7% for normal BMI, p = 0.001). In the upfront surgery cohort, according to the BMI, OS and DSS did not differ, whereas in the NAC cohort, severe obesity was independently associated with worse OS [hazard ratio (HR) 1.87; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-3.48; p = 0.047] and disease-specific survival (DSS) (HR 2.08; 95% CI 1.07-4.05; p = 0.031). CONCLUSION For the gastric cancer patients undergoing curative gastrectomy, obesity was associated with significantly lower rates of pathologic response to NAC and more postoperative complications, as well as shorter OS and DSS for the patients receiving NAC.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2021; 13:161-173. [PMID: 33738044 PMCID: PMC7953343 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v13.i3.161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2020] [Revised: 12/31/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes remains unclear among patients with resectable gastric cancer.
AIM To investigate the relationship between BMI and long-term survival of gastric cancer patients.
METHODS This retrospective study included 2526 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer between September 2013 and June 2018. The patients were divided into four groups: Group A (low BMI, < 18.5 kg/m2), group B (normal BMI, 18.5-24.9 kg/m2), group C (overweight, 25-29.9 kg/m2), and group D (obese, ≥ 30 kg/m2). Clinicopathological findings and survival outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
RESULTS Preoperative weight loss was more common in the low-BMI group, while diabetes was more common in the obese group. Upper-third gastric cancer accounted for a large proportion of cases in the higher BMI groups. Major perioperative complications tended to increase with BMI. The 5-year overall survival rates were 66.4% for group A, 75.0% for group B, 77.1% for group C, and 78.6% for group D. The 5-year overall survival rate was significantly lower in group A than in group C (P = 0.008) or group D (P = 0.031). Relative to a normal BMI value, a BMI of < 18.5 kg/m2 was associated with poor survival (hazard ratio: 1.558, 95% confidence interval: 1.125-2.158, P = 0.008).
CONCLUSION Low BMI, but not high BMI, independently predicted poor survival in patients with resectable gastric cancer.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether high body mass index (BMI) was associated with increased postoperative complications and unfavorable prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients remain controversial. In the present study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of high BMI on surgical outcome, postoperative complications and long-term survival of GC patients. METHODS The related studies were identified by searching PubMed and Embase databases. According to the BMI, all GC patients were classified into BMI ≥25 kg/m2 group and BMI <25 kg/m2 group. The relevant data was extracted and pooled effect size was assessed using a fixed effect model or random effect model. RESULTS A total of 36 relevant studies involving 30,642 GC patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that high BMI patients had longer operation time, fewer number of retrieved lymph nodes and larger amount of intraoperative blood loss than other patients, regardless of open gastrectomy or laparoscopic gastrectomy. In addition, the risk of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 than in those with BMI <25 kg/m2, especially for infectious complications. However, high BMI had no negative impact on postoperative mortality and long-term survival of GC patients. CONCLUSION Despite the increased surgical difficulty and postoperative complications, high BMI was not associated with the prognosis of GC patients. To reduce the risk of postoperative complications, more meticulous operation technique and improved perioperative management should be necessary for high BMI patients.

Patients & methods: WES analyses were performed in matched gastric cancer-normal gastric tissues from two patients. We compared genes highlighted with those of a database and recent WES/whole-genome sequencing studies. Results: We identified 32 highlighted gastric cancer genes, two of these (DEFB118 and RNF43) may provide future potential clinical implications. Conclusion: Definitive evidence on extensive genetic heterogeneity suggests the need for large-scale next-generation sequencing studies to validate gastric cancer driver genes catalog. This list represents the foundation for developing genome-based biomarkers to guide precision gastric cancer treatment.

PLoS One 2016; 11:e0157401. [PMID: 27309531 PMCID: PMC4911005 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0157401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2016] [Accepted: 05/27/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Gastric cancer (GC) is common and its prognosis is often poor due to difficulties in early diagnosis and optimal treatment strategies. TNM staging system is useful in predicting prognosis but only possible after surgery. Therefore, it is desirable to investigate prognostic factors/markers that may predict prognosis before surgery by which helps appropriate management decisions preoperatively. Methods A total of 320 GC patients were consecutively recruited from 2004 to 2013 and followed up for 127 months (10.6 years) after surgery. These patients’ were examined for body mass index (BMI) and blood levels of albumin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test were used to analyze long-term survival using the above potential risk markers. We first employed medians of these variables to reveal maximal potentials of the above prognostic predictors. Results Three major findings were obtained: (1) Preoperative BMI was positively correlated with albumin (r = 0.144, P<0.05) and triglyceride (r = 0.365, P<0.01), but negatively correlated with TNM staging (r = -0.265, P<0.05). Preoperative albumin levels were positively correlated with triglyceride (r = 0.173, P<0.05) but again, negatively correlated with TNM staging (r = -0.137, P<0.05); (2) Poor survival was observed in GC patients with lower levels of BMI (P = 0.028), albumin (P = 0.004), and triglyceride (P = 0.043), respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses suggested BMI, albumin and triglyceride to have survival-predictor powers similar to TNM system; and (3) Cox multi-factorial analyses demonstrated that age (P = 0.049), BMI (P = 0.016), cell differentiation (P = 0.001), and TNM staging (P = 0.011) were independent overall survival-predictors for GC patients. Conclusions Preoperative BMI, albumin, and triglyceride levels are capable of predicting survival for GC patients superior to postoperative TNM system in terms of timing for management. As potential survival-predictors, preoperative tests of BMI, albumin and triglyceride, combined with clinical imaging, may help personalized management for GC patients including planning surgical strategy, optimal radio-chemotherapy and appropriate follow-up intervals after surgery.

Abstract
TNM staging is no doubt the most critical prognostic factors, representing tumor (T)/lymph node metastasis (N)/distant metastasis (M) in gastric cancer. Lymph node ratio-based N system (Nr) has been repeatedly reported to be of prognostic relevance in advanced gastric cancer independent of stage in the multivariate analysis world-wide, and proposed as more sophisticated than N with regard to predicting accurate prognosis. As a result, proposed TNrM system may predict survival more accurately than the present TNM staging system for patients undergoing limited lymph node analysis. It could adjust stage migration when the lymph node number was used as staging factor. Although correlation of the number of metastatic lymph nodes and lymph node ratio is obvious, biological characteristics other than that could also have been reflected on. It may indicate how successful the operation of lymph node dissection was, or it may be revealing the potential of the patient's lymph node immune-reaction. Recently, high lymph node ratio is closely associated with EGFR expression in advanced gastric cancer. When efficiency of applying lymph node ratio as a biomarker is verified and confirmed in an expansive research, and when cancer causing molecules are identified, as well as the competence as a treatment target is studied, the new biomarker, namely, lymph node ratio, could find itself in a limelight in gastric cancer treatment in the future.
