Abstract
Background Recommendations for research articles include the use of the term sex when reporting biological factors and gender for identities or psychosocial or cultural factors. There is an increasing awareness of incorporating the effect of sex and gender on cancer outcomes. Thus, these types of analyses for advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma are relevant. Patients and methods Patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma from the Spanish AGAMENON-SEOM registry treated with first-line combination chemotherapy were selected. Epidemiology, characteristics of the disease, treatment selection, and results were examined according to sex. Results This analysis included 3274 advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients treated with combination chemotherapy between 2008 and 2021: 2313 (70.7%) men and 961 (29.3%) women. Tumors in females were more frequently HER2-negative (67.8% versus 60.8%; P < 0.0001), grade 3 (45.4% versus 36.8%; P < 0.001), diffuse (43.3% versus 26.5%; P < 0.0001), and signet ring cell histology (40.5 versus 23.9%; P < 0.0001). Peritoneal spread was more common in women (58.6% versus 38.9%; P < 0.0001), while liver burden was lower (58.9% versus 71.1%; P < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in treatment recommendation. Treatment doses, density, and duration were comparable between sexes. Women experienced more diarrhea (46% versus 37%; P < 0.0001), neutropenia (51% versus 43%; P < 0.0001), and anemia (62% versus 57%; P < 0.0001). After a median 59.6-month follow-up [95% confidence interval (CI) 54.5-70.8], there were no statistically significant differences between the sexes in progression-free survival [6.21 months (95% CI 5.8-6.5 months) versus 6.08 months (95% CI 5.8-6.3 months); log-rank test, χ2 = 0.1, 1 df, P = 0.8] or in overall survival [10.6 months (95% CI 9.8-11.1 months) versus 10.9 months (95% CI 10.4-11.4 months); log-rank test: χ2 = 0.6, 1 df, P = 0.5]. Conclusion This sex analysis of patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma from the AGAMENON-SEOM registry receiving first-line polychemotherapy found no differences in survival. Although women had worse prognostic histopathology, metastatic disease pattern, and greater toxicity, treatment allocation and compliance were equivalent. Sex and gender are determinants of health inequalities and may affect treatments, tolerability, and therapeutic outcomes. According to sex, subtle biological and clinical differences exist in advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Women with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma experience greater toxicity with therapeutic results comparable with men. Stratification and analysis by sex in studies of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma should be considered.

Abstract
An experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of the length of insertion of a progesterone (P4)-releasing device and the length of pro-oestrus on follicular and luteal characteristics and pregnancy rates to AI (P/AI) in Bos indicus heifers treated with oestradiol/P4-based treatments. Bos indicus beef heifers (n=374), 22-26 months of age, with a corpus luteum (CL) or at least one follicle ≥8mm in diameter and with a body condition score between 2.5 and 3.5 (1-to-5 scale) were synchronised using three treatments for fixed-time AI (FTAI). On Day 0, all heifers received 2mg of oestradiol benzoate (Sincrodiol, Ourofino) and an intravaginal device with 1g of P4 (Sincrogest, Ourofino). The P4 device was removed on Day 6 in heifers in the J-Synch 6 group (n=120) and on Day 7 in heifers in the J-Synch 7 group (n=105) and conventional group (n=165). All heifers received 500μg of cloprostenol (Sincrocio, Ourofino) and 300IU of equine chorionic gonadotrophin (SincroeCG 6000UI, Ourofino) at the time of P4 device removal. Furthermore, heifers in the conventional treatment group received 0.5mg of oestradiol cypionate (SincroCP, Ourofino) at the same time. In addition, all heifers were tail-painted for oestrus detection (CeloTest, Biotay). Heifers that had lost ≥50% of the tail paint by 70-74h (J-Synch groups) or 48-52h (conventional group) after device removal were FTAI at that time. Heifers not showing oestrus by 70-74h (J-Synch groups) or 48-52h (conventional group) received 10μg of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (Sincroforte, Ourofino) at the same time and were FTAI 8h later. All heifers were also examined using ultrasonography (Mindray DP50 Vet) every 12h from the time of device removal to determine the time of ovulation, 6 days after ovulation to determine the diameter of the CL, and 28 days after FTAI for P/AI determination. Data were analysed using the MLGM procedure (InfoStat) for normal data families (follicular dynamics) and binary data family (P/AI). The results are shown in Table 1. The diameter of the dominant preovulatory follicle and the CL did not differ among groups (P>0.12). However, the interval from device removal to ovulation was longer in heifers in the J-Synch groups than in heifers in the conventional group (P<0.05). Furthermore, P/AI was not different among groups. In conclusion, although the J-Synch protocols delayed the interval from P4 device removal to ovulation, the three protocols evaluated in the present study were equally effective in Bos indicus heifers.

Abstract
Background: To develop and validate a nomogram and web-based calculator to predict overall survival (OS) in Caucasian-advanced oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma (AOA) patients undergoing first-line combination chemotherapy. Methods: Nine hundred twenty-four AOA patients treated at 28 Spanish teaching hospitals from January 2008 to September 2014 were used as derivation cohort. The result of an adjusted-Cox proportional hazards regression was represented as a nomogram and web-based calculator. The model was validated in 502 prospectively recruited patients treated between October 2014 and December 2016. Harrell's c-index was used to evaluate discrimination. Results: The nomogram includes seven predictors associated with OS: HER2-positive tumours treated with trastuzumab, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, number of metastatic sites, bone metastases, ascites, histological grade, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Median OS was 5.8 (95% confidence interval (CI), 4.5–6.6), 9.4 (95% CI, 8.5–10.6), and 14 months (95% CI, 11.8–16) for high-, intermediate-, and low-risk groups, respectively (P<0.001), in the derivation set and 4.6 (95% CI, 3.3–8.1), 12.7 (95% CI, 11.3–14.3), and 18.3 months (95% CI, 14.6–24.2) for high-, intermediate-, and low-risk groups, respectively (P<0.001), in the validation set. The nomogram is well-calibrated and reveals acceptable discriminatory capacity, with optimism-corrected c-indices of 0.618 (95% CI, 0.591–0.631) and 0.673 (95% CI, 0.636–0.709) in derivation and validation groups, respectively. The AGAMENON nomogram outperformed the Royal Marsden Hospital (c-index=0.583; P=0.00046) and Japan Clinical Oncology Group prognostic indices (c-index=0.611; P=0.03351). Conclusions: We developed and validated a straightforward model to predict survival in Caucasian AOA patients initiating first-line polychemotherapy. This model can contribute to inform clinical decision-making and optimise clinical trial design.
