Abstract
BACKGROUND Although neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) can benefit patient survival, few studies have compared the short- and long-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy for AGC after NAT. METHODS The clinical data of 321 AGC patients who received NATs and who underwent robotic gastrectomy (RG, n = 109) or laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG, n = 212) between May 2017 and September 2022 were collected and analyzed retrospectively at our center. After propensity score matching (PSM) for 1:1 matching to eliminate bias, both groups had 106 cases. Short-term clinical outcomes and long-term survival-related indicators were compared between the two groups of patients. RESULTS A total of 212 patients were included in the groups after matching. There were fewer overall complications (13.2% vs. 28.3%, P = 0.007) and surgical complications (8.5% vs. 17.9%, P = 0.043) in the RG group than in the LG group. Compared with the LG group, the RG group had more harvested overall lymph nodes (35.25 ± 4.99 vs. 31.45 ± 6.31, P < 0.001) and more suprapancreatic lymph nodes (13.12 ± 4.38 vs. 10.05 ± 4.13, P < 0.001). Patients in the RG group had significantly shorter surgery times (217.62 ± 47.49 vs. 267.25 ± 70.68, P < 0.001) and less blood loss (46.51 ± 27.02 vs. 70.75 ± 37.25, P < 0.001) than patients in the LG group. The RG group had significantly faster bowel function recovery, earlier liquid diet, and shorter hospital stay. Compared with LG, RG had a better 3-year RFS (75.5% vs. 62.3%, P = 0.017). CONCLUSION Compared with laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery significantly increased the number of lymph node dissected, reduced intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative surgical complications rate. Although RG did not statistically improve 3-year overall survival, there was a significant improvement in RFS and could be an alternative surgical method for GC patients after NAC.

Short-Term Outcomes Analysis Comparing Open, Laparoscopic, Laparoscopic-Assisted, and Robotic Distal Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Randomized Trials Network Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1620. [PMID: 38730574 PMCID: PMC11083793 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16091620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is debated. The aim of this study was to execute a comprehensive assessment of principal surgical treatments for resectable distal gastric cancer. METHODS Systematic review and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) network meta-analysis. Open (Op-DG), laparoscopic-assisted (LapAs-DG), totally laparoscopic (Lap-DG), and robotic distal gastrectomy (Rob-DG) were compared. Pooled effect-size measures were the risk ratio (RR), the weighted mean difference (WMD), and the 95% credible intervals (CrIs). RESULTS Ten RCTs (3823 patients) were included. Overall, 1012 (26.5%) underwent Lap-DG, 902 (23.6%) LapAs-DG, 1768 (46.2%) Op-DG, and 141 (3.7%) Rob-DG. Anastomotic leak, severe complications (Clavien-Dindo > 3), and in-hospital mortality were comparable. No differences were observed for reoperation rate, pulmonary complications, postoperative bleeding requiring transfusion, surgical-site infection, cardiovascular complications, number of harvested lymph nodes, and tumor-free resection margins. Compared to Op-DG, Lap-DG and LapAs-DG showed a significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss with a trend toward shorter time to first flatus and reduced length of stay. CONCLUSIONS LapAs-DG, Lap-DG, and Rob-DG performed in referral centers by dedicated surgeons have comparable short-term outcomes to Op-DG for locally AGC.

Comparison of Short-Term Outcomes After Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Radical Gastrectomy for Advanced Gastric Cancer in Elderly Individuals: A Propensity Score-Matching Study. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:2679-2688. [PMID: 38142258 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14808-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has been widely used to treat gastric cancer. However, whether the short-term outcomes of robotic gastrectomy are superior to those of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer has not been reported. METHODS The study enrolled of 594 elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent robotic or laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. The RG cohort was matched 1:3 with the LG cohort using propensity score-matching (PSM). RESULTS After PSM, 121 patients were included in the robot group and 363 patients in the laparoscopic group. Excluding the docking and undocking times, the operation time of the two groups was similar (P = 0.617). The RG group had less intraoperative blood loss than the LG group (P < 0.001). The time to ambulation and first liquid food intake was significantly shorter in the RG group than in the LG group (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications did not differ significantly between the two groups (P = 0.14). Significantly more lymph nodes were dissected in the RG group than in the LG group (P = 0.001). Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was started earlier in the RG group than in the LG group (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS For elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer, RG is safe and feasible. Compared with LG, RG is associated with less intraoperative blood loss; a faster postoperative recovery time, allowing a greater number of lymph nodes to be dissected; and earlier adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To prolong the survival, the value of a computed tomography-based radiomic score (RS) in stratifying survival and guiding personalized chemotherapy strategies in far-advanced gastric cancer (FGC) was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective multicenter study enrolled 283 FGC patients (cT4a/bNxM0-1) from three centers. Patients from one center were randomly divided into the training (n = 166) and internal validation (n = 83) cohorts, whereas the external validation cohort (n = 34) consisted of patients from the two other centers. The RS was calculated for each patient to predict progression-free survival (PFS). Features from the primary tumor and main metastasis (peritoneum, liver, and lymph node) were integrated in the training cohort and then validated for its ability to stratify PFS and overall survival (OS) in the validation cohort. The association between the RS and efficacy of neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic (NIPS) therapy was also explored. RESULTS The RS demonstrated a favorable prognostic ability to predict PFS in all cohorts (training: C-index 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.788-0.872; internal validation: C-index 0.75, 95% CI: 0.682-0.818; external validation: C-index 0.76, 95% CI: 0.669-0.851; all p < 0.05), as well as an excellent ability to stratify the PFS and OS in both the whole population and metastatic subgroups (p < 0.05). Patients with a low score were more likely to undergo surgery after perioperative chemotherapy (p < 0.05). Furthermore, only high-scoring patients with peritoneal metastasis benefited from NIPS. CONCLUSION The RS may be an effective risk stratifier for the outcomes of FGC patients and may be used to select patients who can benefit from NIPS therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have demonstrated the short-term recovery course for patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy according to preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) assessment. However, reports of the long-term oncological outcomes are still limited. METHODS The data of 988 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic radical gastrectomy between January 2014 and September 2018 were analyzed retrospectively at our center, and propensity score matching was used to eliminate bias. Study cohorts were divided into the CTA group (n = 498) and the non-CTA group (n = 490) depending on whether preoperative CTA was available. The primary and secondary endpoints were the 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates and the intraoperative course and short-term outcomes, respectively. RESULTS 431 patients were included in each group after PSM. Compared with the non-CTA group, the CTA group had more harvested lymph nodes and less operative time, blood loss, intraoperative vascular injury and total cost, especially in the subgroup analysis with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 patients. There was no difference in the 3 year OS and DFS between the CTA group and the non-CTA group. When further stratified by BMI < 25 or ≥ 25 kg/m2, the 3-year OS and DFS were significantly higher in the CTA group than in the non-CTA group in terms of BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic or robotic radical gastrectomy based on preoperative perigastric artery CTA surgical decision-making has the possibility of improving short-term outcomes. However, there is no difference in the long-term prognosis, except for a subgroup of patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.

Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Older Patients with Gastric Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3768. [PMID: 37568584 PMCID: PMC10417693 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15153768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy in older patients with gastric cancer after D2-gastrectomy is unclear. This study investigated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patients with stage II/III gastric cancer. (2) Methods: A real-world population-based retrospective cohort of patients aged ≥65 with stage II/III gastric cancer (n = 2616; median age: 73.5; 12.2% aged >80 years) treated between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 2020 were included. All data was retrieved from the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Clinical Management System (CMS). Clinical characteristics of those patients with and without adjuvant chemotherapy treatment were balanced after propensity score matching (PSM). In total, 732 patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy were matched with 732 patients treated with surgery alone. Hazard ratios (HRs) estimated via Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to compare the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of the two patient groups. (3) Results: Adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with better OS (37 vs. 25 months; HR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.75-0.84; p < 0.001) than surgery alone. The OS benefit was observed in both the 65-80 (44 vs. 27 months; HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.74-0.84; p < 0.001) and >80 (14 vs. 11 months; HR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.71-0.96; p < 0.001) age groups. A better CSS was observed in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy than those who only had surgery (5-year CSS: 64.1% vs. 61.1%, HR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.79-0.93; p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved OS and CSS in older patients with stage II/III gastric cancer.

Investigating the mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis in gastric adenocarcinoma using a novel ex vivo peritoneal explant model. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11499. [PMID: 35798764 PMCID: PMC9262973 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13948-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma, commonly known as stomach cancer, has a predilection for metastasis to the peritoneum, which portends limited survival. The peritoneal metastatic cascade remains poorly understood, and existing models fail to recapitulate key elements of the interaction between cancer cells and the peritoneal layer. To explore the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis, we developed an ex vivo human peritoneal explant model. Fresh peritoneal tissue samples were suspended, mesothelial layer down but without direct contact, above a monolayer of red-fluorescent dye stained AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells for 24 h, then washed thoroughly. Implantation of AGS cells within the explanted peritoneum and invasion beyond the mesothelial layer were examined serially using real-time confocal fluorescence microscopy. Histoarchitecture of the explanted peritoneum was preserved over 5 days ex vivo. Both implantation and invasion were suppressed by restoration of functional E-cadherin through stable transfection of AGS cells, demonstrating sensitivity of the model to molecular manipulation. Thus, our ex vivo human peritoneal explant model permits meaningful investigation of the pathways and mechanism that contribute to peritoneal metastasis. The model will facilitate screening of new therapies that target peritoneal dissemination of gastric, ovarian and colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies of LNTG had small sample sizes and short follow-up periods and did not evaluate quality of life after LNTG. We aimed to compare surgical, oncological, nutritional outcomes, and quality of life of patients after laparoscopic near-total and total gastrectomy (LNTG and LTG, respectively). METHODS We retrospectively collected and analyzed data of 167 and 294 patients who underwent LNTG and LTG, respectively, for treatment of upper or middle third gastric cancer between January 2008 and December 2018. After propensity score matching, the surgical, oncological, and nutritional outcomes of 324 patients were analyzed. Moreover, we measured quality of life after surgery using a postgastrectomy syndrome scale. RESULTS The operation time and the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LNTG group than in the LTG group. In addition, patients with anastomotic complications were fewer in the LNTG group. No significant difference was found in the 5-year overall survival rate between the two groups. However, patients in the LNTG group had a significantly smaller body weight loss after 3 months postoperatively. Furthermore, patients in the LNTG group had significantly healthier albumin and cholesterol than those in the LTG group. The mean scores on the postgastrectomy symptom scale at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were higher in the LNTG group than in the LTG group. CONCLUSION LNTG is a surgically safe and oncologically favorable method compared with LTG. Furthermore, patients who underwent LNTG had improved nutritional status and quality of life than those who underwent LTG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of epidural anaesthesia and analgesia (EA) on cancer recurrence and overall survival after surgery for gastric cancer. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A retrospective study which involved patients with stage I-III gastric cancer undergoing curative resection in a medical centre from January 2012 to December 2017 and followed up until December 2019 through electronic medical chart review. Patient demographics, anaesthetic and surgical characteristics and pathologic features were also gathered. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The effects of EA on postoperative cancer recurrence and overall survival were evaluated using proportional hazards regression models with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Multivariable Cox regression analyses were conducted for sensitivity analysis as well. RESULTS Among the 413 patients with median follow-up of 38.5 months (IQR: 22.1-59.7), 66 (16.0%) received EA after gastric cancer surgery. EA was not associated with greater cancer recurrence (IPTW-adjusted HR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.27 to 1.13, p=0.102) or cancer specific (IPTW- adjusted HR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.27 to 1.04, p=0.07) and all-cause mortality (IPTW-adjusted HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.37 to 1.16, p=0.143) after gastric cancer resections. For sensitivity analysis, multivariable Cox regression analysis also generated non-significant EA effects on cancer recurrence and survival after surgery. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant association between EA and cancer recurrence or overall survival in patients with stage I-III gastric cancer receiving surgical resection of primary tumour. Prospective study should be considered to elucidate the relationship between EA and cancer outcomes after gastric cancer surgery.

Abstract
As the most common recurrence pattern after radical gastric cancer resection, peritoneal recurrence is a major cause of mortality, which affects the prognosis of patients to a very large extent. Peritoneal status and risk of peritoneal recurrence can be evaluated by peritoneal lavage cytology, photodynamic diagnosis, imaging examination, and pathologic analysis. Presently, there is no standard approach for preventing peritoneal recurrence after radical surgery; furthermore, controversies exist regarding the effects of some preventive methods. Among the preventive methods, there are high expectations about the potential of preoperative therapy, surgical skill improvement, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and postoperative treatment to reduce the incidence of peritoneal recurrence after radical gastrectomy. This study aimed to analyze the results of previous studies on the risk assessment and preventive methods of peritoneal recurrence after radical gastrectomy in recent years. We hope to provide references for better approach to clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies for peritoneal recurrence after radical gastrectomy.

Systematic review and updated network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing open, laparoscopic-assisted, and robotic distal gastrectomy for early and locally advanced gastric cancer. Surgery 2021; 170:942-951.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of early and locally advanced gastric cancer remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to perform a comprehensive evaluation of major surgical approaches for operable distal gastric cancer. METHODS Systematic review and network meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials were performed to compare open distal gastrectomy, laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy, and robotic distal gastrectomy. Risk ratio, weighted mean difference, and 95% credible intervals were used as pooled effect size measures. RESULTS Seventeen randomized controlled trials (5,909 patients) were included. Overall, 2,776 (46.8%) underwent open distal gastrectomy, 2,964 (50.1%) laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy, and 141 (3.1%) robotic distal gastrectomy. Among these 3 groups, there were no significant differences in 30-day mortality, anastomotic leak, and overall complications. Compared to open distal gastrectomy, laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy was associated with significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss, early postoperative pain, time to first flatus, and hospital length of stay. Similarly, robotic distal gastrectomy was associated with significantly reduced blood loss and time to first flatus compared to open distal gastrectomy. No differences were found in the total number of harvested lymph nodes, tumor-free resection margins, 5-year overall, and disease-free survival. The subgroup analysis in locally advanced gastric cancer showed trends toward reduced blood loss, time to first flatus, and hospital length of stay with minimally invasive approaches but similar overall and disease-free survival. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy and robotic distal gastrectomy performed by well-trained experienced surgeons, even in the setting of locally advanced gastric cancer, seem associated with improved short-term outcomes with similar overall and disease-free survival compared with open distal gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic surveillance after total gastrectomy (TG) for gastric cancer is routinely performed to detect tumor recurrence and postoperative adverse events. However, the reports on the clinical benefits of endoscopic surveillance are ambiguous. We investigated the clinical benefit of endoscopic surveillance after TG for gastric cancer. METHODS We analyzed 848 patients who underwent TG with R0 resection for gastric cancer between 2011 and 2012 (380 early gastric cancer and 468 advanced gastric cancer) and underwent regular postoperative surveillance with endoscopy and abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) with contrast. RESULTS Median follow-up periods were 58 months for both endoscopy (range, 3-96) and abdominopelvic CT (range, 1-96). Tumor recurrence occurred in 167 patients (19.7%), of whom seven (4.2%) were locoregional recurrences in the peri-anastomotic area (n = 5) or regional gastric lymph nodes (n = 2). Whereas the peri-anastomotic recurrences were detected by both endoscopy and abdominopelvic CT, regional lymph node recurrences were only detected by abdominopelvic CT. Out of the 23 events of postoperative adverse events, the majority (87%) were detected by radiologic examinations; three events of benign strictures in the anastomotic site were detected only by endoscopy. CONCLUSION Endoscopic surveillance did not have a significant role in detecting locoregional tumor recurrence and postoperative adverse events after TG with R0 resection for gastric cancer. Routine endoscopic surveillance after TG may be considered optional and performed according to the capacities of each clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have compared the survival advantage of complete pathologic response (cPR) achieved through neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in gastric adenocarcinoma. Our study utilizes a large national cancer database to address this question. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of patients with clinical stage I to III gastric adenocarcinoma from 2004 to 2013 who received nCT or nCRT. Patients who achieved cPR were selected. Associations were evaluated using Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact tests. Survival information was summarized using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, where estimates of the median and 5-year survival rates were estimated with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of 413 patients who had cPR were identified. Eighty-four patients received nCT and 329 patients received nCRT. Patients in the nCRT group had higher clinical stage (88.4% vs. 75.0%) and more proximal location of tumors (95.4% vs. 45.2%). The nCT group (n = 84) had a 94% 5-year survival rate, while the nCRT group's (n = 329) rate was 60% (p < 0.001). On Cox regression modeling using a propensity-weighted approach, nCT treatment was an independent predictor of improved overall survival (nCRT vs. nCT; HR 10.44, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The use of nCT leads to a significant increase in overall survival in patients when compared with nCRT for those who achieved cPR in gastric adenocarcinoma. While this study is limited in identifying the cause for this difference in overall survival, this important finding nonetheless requires further investigation and should be considered in the development of future gastric cancer trials.

Abstract
Gastric cancers are highly prevalent in both the East and the West, although they differ in aetiology and prognostic outcome. Management of gastric cancer from screening to definitive treatment varies substantially between Eastern and Western countries and regions, owing to numerous factors, including government incentives to carry out population-wide screening programmes to detect early disease, differences in clinical and biological tumour behaviours and responsiveness to treatment, patient accessibility to effective treatment, etc. This review highlights and contrasts the differences in tumour aetiology and histology, as well as the management approaches between the East and the West, which gives important insights and inspirations on future international multicentre research collaboration to combat this dreadful malignancy.

Shi Y, Xu X, Zhao Y, Qian F, Tang B, Hao Y, Luo H, Chen J, Yu P. Long-term oncologic outcomes of a randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic versus open gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for advanced gastric cancer. Surgery 2019; 165:1211-1216. [PMID: 30772006 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2019.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2018] [Revised: 12/25/2018] [Accepted: 01/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy is a feasible and safe procedure for treating advanced gastric cancer in terms of short-term outcomes. However, concern about long-term oncologic outcomes has limited the adoption of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. METHODS We launched a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic and open gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer to evaluate long-term oncologic feasibility. The 5-year overall survival, disease-free survival, and tumor recurrences have been determined on an intention-to-treat basis. RESULTS Between January 2010 and June 2012, a total of 328 patients with preoperative clinical stage T2-4aN0-3M0 gastric cancer were enrolled in the trial. We excluded 6 patients with unresected tumor, and the remaining 322 patients were randomized to the laparoscopic group (162 patients) or the open group (160 patients) for radical surgery. One patient in laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy and 4 patients in open gastrectomy were lost to follow-up immediately after discharge, leaving 317 patients (161 in laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy and 156 in open gastrectomy) eligible for long-term analysis. The 5-year overall survival rate was 49.0% in the laparoscopic group and 50.7% in the open group, and the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 47.2% and 49.6% in the 2 groups, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival and disease-free survival showed no differences between the 2 groups. There was no difference in the 5-year tumor recurrence rate between the 2 procedures. CONCLUSION Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy can provide comparable long-term survival without an increase in recurrence and metastasis in treating advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date there is no evidence that more intensive follow-up after surgery for esophagogastric adenocarcinoma translates into improved survival. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of standardized surveillance by a specialized center after resection on survival. METHODS Data of 587 patients were analyzed who underwent curative surgery for esophagogastric adenocarcinoma in our institution. Based on their postoperative surveillance, patients were assigned to either standardized follow-up (SFU) by the National Center for Tumor Diseases (SFU group) or individual follow-up by other physicians (non-SFU group). Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to compensate for heterogeneity between groups. Groups were compared regarding clinicopathological findings, recurrence, and impact on survival before and after PSM. RESULTS Of 587 patients, 32.7% were in the SFU and 67.3% in the non-SFU group. Recurrence occurred in 39.4% of patients and 92.6% within the first 3 years; 73.6% were treated, and of those 17.1% underwent resection. In recurrent patients overall and post-recurrence survival (OS/PRS) was influenced by diagnostic tools (p < 0.05), treatment (p ≤ 0.001), and resection of recurrence (p ≤ 0.001). Standardized follow-up significantly improved OS (84.9 vs. 38.4 months, p = 0.040) in matched analysis and was an independent positive predictor of OS before and after PSM (p = 0.034/0.013, respectively). CONCLUSION After PSM, standardized follow-up by a specialized center significantly improved OS. Cross-sectional imaging and treatment of recurrence were associated with better outcome. Regular follow-up by cross-sectional imaging especially during the first 3 years should be recommended by national guidelines, since early detection might help select patients for treatment of recurrence and even resection in few designated cases.

Correlation of pathological complete response with survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer treated with radical surgery: A meta-analysis. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0189294. [PMID: 29370182 PMCID: PMC5784899 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0189294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2017] [Accepted: 09/10/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical gastrectomy is preferred for locally advanced gastric cancer. To avoid the problematic use of pTNM for patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) gastric cancer TNM staging system (8th edition) added ypTNM for the first time. But patients achieving pathological complete response were not covered by the new ypTNM staging system. To investigate whether pathological complete response is associated with better outcome in gastric cancer, as was reported in rectal, breast and bladder cancer. Methods We systematically searched the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Collaboration’s Central register of controlled trials from January 1988 to April 2015 for publications which reported outcomes of patients with and without pathological complete response (pCR) (pT0N0M0) to investigate whether pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) treated with radical surgery is associated with better survival. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). The secondary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS). Both were measured with a relative risk (RR). A meta-analysis was performed using the fixed effects model. Forest plots and the Q test was used to evaluate overall heterogeneity for OS and DFS. Results A total of seven trials, 1143 patients were included and analyzed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery with no other preoperative treatment. The average rate of pCR was 6.74% (range: 3%-15%). The RR of patients who achieved pCR in the primary tumor and lymph nodes is 0.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25–0.98; p = 0.04), 0.34 (95% CI, 0.21–0.55; p<0.0001) and 0.44 (95% CI, 0.30–0.63; p<0.0001) for one-year-OS, three-year-OS and five-year-OS, respectively. The summary RR for three-year-DFS was 0.43 (95% CI, 0.25–0.72; p = 0.002). Conclusion Patients with resectable gastric or GEJ cancer who achieved pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy can gain a better outcome than patients without pCR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy has become a common surgical treatment for gastric cancer in eastern Asian countries. However, a large-scale prospective study to investigate the benefit of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) regarding long-term outcomes has never been reported. We have already reported the short-term outcomes of this study. Here we report long-term outcomes as the secondary endpoints of this study after a 5-year follow-up period. METHODS This study comprised patients with clinical stage I gastric cancer who were able to undergo a distal gastrectomy. LADG with D1 plus suprapancreatic lymph node dissection was performed by credentialed gastric surgeons who had each conducted at least 30 LADG and 30 open gastrectomy procedures. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who developed either anastomotic leakage or pancreatic fistula. The secondary endpoints included overall survival and relapse-free survival. RESULTS From November 2007 to September 2008, 176 eligible patients were enrolled, comprising 140 patients with pathological stage IA disease, 23 patients with pathological stage IB disease, 9 patients with pathological stage II disease, and 4 patients with pathological stage IIIA disease. No patients had recurrent disease, and three of the patients died within the follow-up period. The 5-year overall survival was 98.2% (95% confidence interval 94.4-99.4%) and the 5-year relapse-free survival was 98.2% (95% confidence interval 94.4-99.4%). CONCLUSIONS The long-term outcomes of stage I gastric cancer patients undergoing LADG seem comparable to those of patients undergoing an open procedure, although this result should be confirmed by a randomized control trial. We have already completed accrual of 921 patients for a multicenter randomized phase III trial (JCOG0912) to confirm the noninferiority of LADG compared with open gastrectomy in terms of relapse-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although some studies have reported the safety of early oral intake after gastrectomy, it still remains controversial. This study focused on the feasibility of a clinical pathway with early oral intake and discharge setting for exclusively laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A clinical pathway was applied to 403 patients until December 2014. In the protocol, patients are allowed to take a sip of water and a soft diet on the first and second days after the operation, respectively, and the discharge day is set as the fifth to seventh day after the operation. Clinicopathological variables were prospectively collected, and risk factors for discharge variances were analyzed. RESULTS The completion rate of the clinical pathway was 76.9%. There were five re-admissions (1.2%). The overall morbidity rate was 18% ( n = 72), and major complications (Clavien-Dindo IIIa or greater) occurred in 13 patients (3%). Complications were the causes for discharge variances in 68 cases (73%), while the attending surgeons' judgment was the cause in 25 cases (27%). On multivariate analysis, age (odds ratio = 2.23, 95% confidence interval = 1.38-3.60, p = 0.001) and operative time (odds ratio = 2.38, 95% confidence interval = 1.45-3.98, p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for discharge variances. CONCLUSION A high completion rate of a clinical pathway with early oral intake and discharge setting for laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was achievable with an acceptably low re-admission rate. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is recommended as a first step for a clinical pathway with an early oral intake and discharge protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of early gastric (EGC) and esophageal carcinomas (EEC) is an interdisciplinary challenge. The risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is the crucial point in choosing the correct treatment option. OBJECTIVE This article gives an overview of the current treatment options and provides help in choosing the correct therapy. METHOD Current concepts and therapy algorithms are presented on the basis of a literature review and data from our own center. RESULTS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recommended for mucosal gastric cancer with good or moderate differentiation (G1,2) without macroscopic ulceration, in elevated type lesions smaller than 2 cm in size or depressed lesions smaller than 1 cm in size. In additional chromoendoscopy should be carried out. The extent of surgical resection is defined by the location of the tumor. A safety margin of at least 3 cm should be applied in distal gastric resections whereas the first line goal in gastrectomy is to achieve an R0 resection. In cN0 tumors a D1 lymphadenectomy (LA) seems to be sufficient. Minimally invasive techniques currently show promising results especially for a subtotal resection. The treatment strategy in EEC differs depending on the tumor entity. Mucosal squamous cell carcinoma with high risk factors (L1,V1) and all cN0 submucosal tumors without the detection of LNM should be referred to primary surgical resection. Early stage cN+ squamous cell carcinomas should be preoperatively treated with chemoradiotherapy. Adenocarcinoma with infiltration of the deeper submucosa (sm2,3) and high-risk sm1 tumors require surgical treatment. The standard operating procedure for EEC is an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy with 2‑field LA preferably performed as a hybrid or by a completely minimally invasive procedure. The procedure of choice in endoscopic resection of EEC is resection with the suck and cut technique.

Abstract
There is still no consensus on the follow-up frequency and regimen after curative resection for gastric cancer. Moreover, controversy exists regarding the utility of follow-up in improving survival, and the recommendations of experts and societies vary considerably. The main reason to establish surveillance programs is to diagnose tumor recurrence or metachronous cancers early and to thereby provide prompt treatment and prolong survival. In the setting of gastric malignancies, other reasons have been put forth: (1) the detection of adverse effects of a previous surgery, such as malnutrition or digestive sequelae; (2) the collection of data; and (3) the identification of psychological and/or social problems and provision of appropriate support to the patients. No randomized controlled trials on the role of follow-up after curative resection of gastric carcinoma have been published. Herein, the primary retrospective series and systematic reviews on this subject are analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, the guidelines from international and national scientific societies are discussed. Follow-up is recommended by the majority of institutions; however, there is no real evidence that follow-up can improve long-term survival rates. Several studies have demonstrated that it is possible to stratify patients submitted to curative gastrectomy into different classes according to the risk of recurrence. Furthermore, promising studies have identified several molecular markers that are related to the risk of relapse and to prognosis. Based on these premises, a promising strategy will be to tailor follow-up in relation to the patient and tumor characteristics, molecular marker status, and individual risk of recurrence.

The patterns and timing of recurrence after curative resection for gastric cancer in China. World J Surg Oncol 2016; 14:305.

Abstract
Background The recurrence of gastric cancer after curative resection had adverse effects on patients’ survival. The treatment presence varied from different countries. The aims of this study were to understand the recurrence incidence, patterns, and timing and to explore the risk factors in China. Methods One thousand three hundred four patients who undergoing curative resection from more than 100 hospitals between January 1st 1986 and September 1st 2013, were surveyed in detail. Clinical pathological factors were examined as potential risk factors of each recurrence pattern using univariate and multivariate analyses. Recurrence timing was also analyzed based on disease-free survival. Results Among 1304 gastric cancer patients, 793 patients (60.8%) experienced recurrence and 554 patients (42.5%) experienced recurrence within 2 years after operation. The median disease-free survival was 29.00 months (interquartile range [IQR] 12.07, 147.23). Receiving operation in general hospitals was one of independent risk factors of local-regional recurrence (OR = 1.724, 95% CI 1.312 to 2.265) and distant metastasis (OR = 1.496, 95% CI 1.164 to 1.940). Patients would suffer lower risk of distant metastasis if they received no more than 3 cycles adjuvant chemotherapy (OR = 0.640, 95% CI 0.433 to 0.943). Adjuvant radiotherapy could reduce the risk of recurrence (OR 0.259, 95% CI 0.100 to 0.670), especially distant metastasis (OR = 0.260, 95% CI 0.083 to 0.816). Conclusions More than 60% patients experienced recurrence after curative resection for gastric cancer, especially within 2 years after surgery. Risk factors were clarified between various recurrence patterns. Advanced gastric cancer and undergoing operation in general hospitals contributed to increased recurrence risk and worse survival. Enough number of lymph nodes harvest and standard D2 lymphadenectomy could reduce recurrence. Chinese patients would benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

METHODS We reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent gastric ESD between March 2007 and April 2014. RESULTS A total of 1347 patients who underwent curative ESD for early gastric cancer that met the expanded indication for ESD were analyzed. Of these, recurrence at the previous ESD site occurred in 39 patients, whereas recurrence in the stomach at a site other than the ESD site occurred in 102 patients. Older age, intestinal metaplasia, flat or depressed lesions, and ESD criteria were associated with recurrence in the stomach in places other than the ESD site. The annual incidence was .84% for recurrence at the previous ESD site and 2.48% for recurrence in the stomach at other than the ESD site. In cases of local recurrence and metachronous lesions, there was a significant difference between the short- and long-surveillance interval group (≤12 months vs >12 months) in the proportions of recurrent adenocarcinoma (31.9% vs 60.9%, P = .021), additional gastrectomy (7.1% vs 46.2%, P = .033), and size (8.92 ± 4.17 mm vs 18.08 ± 10.47 mm, P = .010). CONCLUSIONS Scheduled endoscopy surveillance is necessary for detecting recurrent lesions. In addition, scheduled endoscopy surveillance might help to detect recurrent lesions at a stage early enough for a curative resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unlike primary gastric cancer, a remnant gastric cancer (RGC) staging system has not been established. The retrieved lymph node counts (RLN) in RGC is generally lower than that in primary gastric cancer, so it is unclear whether positive lymph node count reflects the RGC patient's survival. Therefore, the lymph node ratio (LR) may be more useful for RGC staging than the 7th edition UICC classification. METHODS Patients (n = 191) who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent for RGC participated in this study. LR was classified as LR = 0, 0 < LR ≤ 0.1, 0.1 < LR ≤ 0.4, and 0.4 < LR. Modified TNM staging (mTNM-LR) was established by combining the pT (7th UICC) with LR. The predictive accuracy of LR and mTNM-LR was compared with that of the pN (7th UICC) and TNM (7th UICC), respectively. RESULTS The mean RLN was 14.4 and that of 128 patients (67 %) was ≤15. Fifty-one patients (27 %) had metastatic lymph nodes. Multivariable analyses revealed that pT (7th UICC) (p < 0.001) and pN (7th UICC) (p = 0.001), but not LR, were independent risk factors for overall survival. The overall c-index (95 % confidence interval) of each staging system was as follows: pN (7th UICC): 0.700 (0.627-0.771); LR: 0.701 (0.627-0.775), TNM (7th UICC): 0.808 (0.761-0.870); mTNM-LR: 0.807 (0.737-0.871). There were no significant differences in the predictive accuracy between pN (7th UICC) and LR, and TNM (7th UICC) and mTNM-LR. CONCLUSIONS LR was not superior to pN (7th UICC). Thus, the 7th edition UICC classification is a practical and reliable staging system for RGC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics of recurrences that occurred 5 or more years after curative resection for gastric cancer. METHODS We analyzed recurrences among 1,299 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative operations at the Department of Surgery, Inje University Seoul Paik Hospital between September 1998 and December 2002. Recurrences were classified as within 2 years (early), 2-5 years (intermediate), and more than 5 years (late) after gastrectomy. The clinicopathologic findings of the patients with late recurrence were compared with those of patients in the other two recurrence groups, with special reference to the patterns of recurrence. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed, incorporating factors such as operation type, T-stage, N-stage, stage, lymphatic invasion, neural invasion, histology, tumor size, and recurrence site. RESULTS At the time of last follow-up, recurrence occurred in 266 (20.5%) patients. Recurrence times were classified as <2 years (182 patients), 2-5 years (61 patients), or >5 years (23 patients). The late recurrence rate was 8.6%. The occurrence of recurrence >5 years after gastrectomy was significantly correlated with age, operation type, T-stage, N-stage, stage, lymphatic invasion, neural invasion, histology, tumor size, location and recurrence site (P<0.05). The main recurrence patterns in the 23 patients with late recurrence were locoregional metastasis (10 patients, 43.5%), peritoneal seeding (8 patients, 34.8%), hematogenous metastasis (2 patients, 8.7%), and multiple metastasis (3 patients, 13.0%). A multivariate analysis showed that larger tumor size and younger age were independent prognostic factors for late recurrence. Additionally, locoregional and peritoneal recurrences were significantly more common than hematogenous recurrences. CONCLUSIONS Although late recurrence was uncommon, younger age and larger tumor size were associated with high risk. Follow-up surveillance is recommended for locoregional and peritoneal metastasis.
