Abstract
BACKGROUND Outside of clinical trials, real-world data of advanced gastric cancers (AGCs) managed with perioperative or adjuvant chemotherapy with a backbone of D2 lymphadenectomy is limited. PATIENTS AND METHODS Curative resections for gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2003 and January 2020 at the Tata Memorial Centre were analyzed, comparing three time periods marking major increments in annual gastric resections (GRs). RESULTS 1657 radical gastric resections were performed with a morbidity and mortality rate of 34.9% and 1.4%, respectively. Over three consecutive periods, the number of annual GRs increased from 56/year to 97/year to 156/year (P < 0.001) with a significant escalation in surgical magnitude and complexity. Improvement in surgical quality indicators (median lymph node yield from 15 to 25, P < 0.001 and margin negativity from 8.2 to 5.5%, P = 0.002) was observed with no corresponding increase in severe complications (6.9%) or mortality (1.4%). The proportion of distal and signet ring cancers was found to decrease over time, with an increase in proximal cancers and younger age at presentation. Overall, 90% of GRs were for AGCs with a median overall survival (OS) of 4.4 years (± 6 months), and 5-year OS rate of 47.6% (± 1.9%). CONCLUSIONS Change in pattern of tumor characteristics was observed. Aggressive treatment options for AGC were employed progressively with excellent survival. With increase in volumes, improvements in surgical quality indicators, and a relative improvement in postoperative mortality was observed. These results provide a roadmap for developing dedicated gastric cancer centers.

Impact of pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical D2 dissection in locally advanced gastric cancers: Analysis of 1001 cases. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108343. [PMID: 38640606 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108343] [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: 02/11/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in perioperative chemotherapy have improved outcomes in patients with gastric cancers (GC). This strategy leads to tumour downstaging and may result in a pathologic complete response (pCR). The study aimed to evaluate the predictors of pCR and determine the impact of pCR on long-term survival. METHODS At the Department of Gastrointestinal and HPB Oncology at the Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, 1001 consecutive patients with locally advanced GCs undergoing radical resection following neoadjuvant chemotherapy from January 2005 to June 2022 were included. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 61 months, the median OS was 53 months with a 5-year OS of 46.8 %. Ninety-five patients (9.49 %) realized pCR. Non-signet and well-differentiated histology were associated with pCR. pCR was significantly associated with improved OS, 5-year OS 79.2 % vs 43.2 % (HR 0.30, p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, the realization of pCR and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy had superior OS. Whereas, signet-ring histology, linitis-like tumours, and high lymph node ratio had adverse outcomes. CONCLUSION Tumour grade and signet-ring histology predict achievement of pCR in locally advanced GCs after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with pCR have significantly improved survival. Future neoadjuvant strategies should focus on enhancing pCR rates to improve overall outcomes.

Perioperative Modified FLOT Versus EOX in Locally Advanced Resectable Gastric and Gastro-Oesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: Results of a Matched-Pair Analysis. J Gastrointest Cancer 2023; 54:820-828.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is limited real-world data on the efficacy of 2-weekly cycles of docetaxel, oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil (FLOT) compared to epirubicin, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine (EOX) as perioperative therapy in esophagogastric adenocarcinomas (EGAC). METHODS The data of 611 patients with EGAC treated with perioperative chemotherapy and planned for curative resection between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrieved. Patients receiving EOX and a dose-modified version of FLOT (mFLOT) were evaluated. A 1:1 matching, using age, tumour location, signet ring histology, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, without replacement was performed by using nearest neighbour matching method. The primary endpoint of the study was 3-year event-free survival (EFS). RESULTS A total of 593 patients (261 with EOX and 332 with mFLOT) were matched. One hundred and nighty-eight patients (76%) and 285 patients (86%) in the EOX and mFLOT cohorts underwent curative resection, respectively (p = 0.002). With a median follow-up of 35 and 53 months, respectively, the primary outcome of 3-year EFS was statistically superior in patients receiving mFLOT as compared to the EOX regimen (60% vs. 39%; p < 0.001). There was a greater incidence of grade 3 and grade 4 neutropenia (neoadjuvant: 18% vs. 2%; p < 0.001, adjuvant: 18% vs. 1%; p = 0.001) and febrile neutropenia (neoadjuvant: 8% vs. 1.1%; p < 0.001, adjuvant: 6% vs. 0; p = 0.001) with mFLOT. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION mFLOT is associated with improved resection rates and survival in comparison to EOX as perioperative therapy in gastric adenocarcinomas in this large real-world cohort, with manageable increase in clinically relevant toxicities such as grade 3 and grade 4 febrile neutropenia and neutropenia.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the leading cancers in Southern India. Data regarding the gastric cancers among the Indian population is sparse. Most patients in our country have locally advanced gastric cancers due to delayed presentation. In this article, we present our data regarding the presentation patterns, epidemiological demographics, surgical outcomes, and survival patterns from a tertiary care center in South India. This is a retrospective analysis of gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy in our institution between January 2015 and November 2021 (n = 102). The data regarding patient characteristics, histopathology, and perioperative outcomes were analysed from medical records. The adjuvant treatment received and survival details were collected from the follow-up records and by telephonic interviews. A total of 128 patients were assessable, 102 patients underwent gastrectomy in a period of 6 years. The median age of presentation was 60 years and males were more commonly affected (70.6%). Most common presentation was pain abdomen followed by gastric outlet obstruction. Adenocarcinoma NOS (93%) was the most common histological type. Most of the Patients had antropyloric growths (79.4%) and subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was the most common surgery performed. Majority of the tumors were T4 tumors (55.9%) and nodal metastases were detected in 74% of the specimens. Predominant morbidity was wound infection (6.1%) followed by anastomotic leak (5.9%) with a combined overall morbidity of 16.7% and 30-day mortality of 2.9%. Seventy five (80.5%) patients were able to complete all planned 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. The median time of survival calculated by Kaplan-Meier method was 23 months with 2-year and 3-year overall survival rates of 31% and 22%, respectively. Lymphovascular invasion (LVSI) and lymph nodal burden were the risk factors associated with recurrences and deaths. The patient characteristics, histological factors, and perioperative outcomes revealed most of our patients presented in locally advanced stages with poor risk histological types and increased nodal burden contributing to the lower survival in our population. Inferior survival outcomes suggest the need to explore perioperative and neoadjuvant chemotherapy options in our population.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to assess the impact of treatment sequencing on long-term survival, in distal gastric cancers (GCs) (stage IB/II/III). METHODS This retrospective study included patients with distal GC undergoing D2 resection. Outcomes were compared between group 1 (surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy) and group 2 (perioperative chemotherapy with surgery). 1:1 matching for baseline characteristics (age, cT, and cN stage) was performed for outcome comparison. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 47.5 months in the included 342 patients, the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 61.1% and disease-free survival (DFS) was 50.5%. OS was comparable in the unmatched (group 1, n = 118; group 2, n = 224) (HR 0.905, 95%CI 0.64-1.33, P = 0.615) and matched groups (group 1, n = 97; group 2, n = 97) (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.48-1.26, P = 0.3). CONCLUSION D2 resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy provides similar long-term outcomes as compared to perioperative chemotherapy approach for stage IB/II/III distal GCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND pN3 or ypN3 stage gastric cancers (GCs) are known to have aggressive clinical behaviour. This study aimed to investigate factors affecting survival and pattern of recurrences of N3 stage GCs, treated with curative intent. METHODS A total of 196 GC patients, operated on at the Tata Memorial Centre from 2003 to 2017 and reported as pN3 or ypN3 status on histopathology after D2 gastrectomy were included in this retrospective analysis. RESULTS On multivariate analysis, use of NACT (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and LN ratio (≤ 0.5/> 0.5) emerged as significant predictors for long-term survival. Patients who received NACT but were still harbouring N3 nodes (ypN3; n = 102) had a worse prognosis than those operated on upfront (pN3; n = 94), with a median survival of 19 months versus 24 months respectively (p = 0.003). The 5-year overall survival of the entire cohort was 16.3% (95% CI 12.8-19.8%), while 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 14.6% (95% CI 12.6-20%). Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, though offered in a small number of patients (n = 38) resulted in improvement in DFS. Median DFS of adjuvant CT versus adjuvant CRT was 13 months versus 23 months (p = 0.020). The commonest site of relapse was the peritoneum (49.18%) and incidence of isolated loco-regional failure was 10.7%. CONCLUSION In GCs with N3 stage determined after radical D2 gastrectomy, LN ratio of > 0.5 and ypN3 status are predictors of poor prognosis. Considering the high incidence of peritoneal and loco-regional relapse in these patients, the role of more radical surgery, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy after upfront resection and intraperitoneal chemotherapy should be evaluated in prospective randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
Gastric cancer remains an unmet clinical problem in urgent need of newer and effective treatments. Here we show that the nuclear export protein, Exportin 1 (XPO1, chromosome region maintenance 1 or CRM1), is a promising molecular target in gastric cancer. We demonstrate significant overexpression of XPO1 in a cohort of histologically diverse gastric cancer patients with primary and metastatic disease. XPO1 RNA interference suppressed gastric cancer cell growth. Anti-tumor activity was observed with specific inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compounds (selinexor/XPOVIO), second-generation compound KPT-8602/eltanexor, KPT-185 and +ve control Leptomycin B in three distinct gastric cancer cell lines. SINE compounds inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation, disrupted spheroid formation, induced apoptosis and halted cell cycle progression at the G1/S phase. Anti-tumor activity was concurrent with nuclear retention of tumor suppressor proteins and inhibition of colony formation. In combination studies, SINE compounds enhanced the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in vitro and in vivo. More significantly, using non-coding RNA sequencing studies, we demonstrate for the first time that SINE compounds can alter the expression of non-coding RNAs (microRNAs and piwiRNAs). SINE treatment caused statistically significant downregulation of oncogenic miR-33b-3p in two distinct cell lines. These studies demonstrate the therapeutic significance of XPO1 in gastric cancer that warrants further clinical investigation.

Abstract
Background Technological advances have led to the generation of large amounts of data, both in surgical research and practice. Despite this, it is unclear how much originates in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) and what barriers exist to the use of such data in improving surgical care. The aim of this review was to capture the extent and impact of programmes that use large volumes of patient data on surgical care in LMICs. Methods A PRISMA‐compliant systematic literature review of PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar was performed in August 2018. Prospective studies collecting large volumes of patient‐level data within LMIC settings were included and evaluated qualitatively. Results A total of 68 studies were included from 71 LMICs, involving 708 032 patients. The number of patients in included studies varied widely (from 335 to 428 346), with 25 reporting data on 3000 or more LMIC patients. Patient inclusion in large‐data studies in LMICs has increased dramatically since 2015. Studies predominantly involved Brazil, China, India and Thailand, with low patient numbers from Africa and Latin America. Outcomes after surgery were commonly the focus (33 studies); very few large studies looked at access to surgical care or patient expenditure. The use of large data sets specifically to improve surgical outcomes in LMICs is currently limited. Conclusion Large volumes of data are becoming more common and provide a strong foundation for continuing investigation. Future studies should address questions more specific to surgery.
