Introduction With advances in multimodal therapy, survival rates in gastric cancer have significantly improved over the last two decades. Neoadjuvant therapy increases the likelihood of achieving negative margins and may even lead to pathologic complete response (pCR). However, the impact of pCR on survival in gastric cancer has been poorly described. We analyzed the rate and predictors of pCR in patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy as well as impact of pCR on survival. Methods We conducted a National Cancer Database (NCDB) analysis (2004-2016) of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection. Results The pCR rate was 2.2%. Following adjustment, only neoadjuvant chemoradiation, non-signet histology, and tumor grade remained as significant factors predicting pCR. pCR was a statistically significant predictor of survival. Conclusion In this NCDB study, pCR was a predictor of survival. Though chemoradiation rather than chemotherapy alone was a predictor of pCR, it was not a predictor of survival. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of radiation in the neoadjuvant setting and to discern the impact of pCR on survival.

Abstract Tumour-stroma ratio (TSR) is a novel potential prognostic factor in cancers and based on the proportions of stroma and tumour area. The prognostic value of TSR in gastric cancer is incompletely known. The aim of this study was to estimate prognostic significance of TSR in gastric adenocarcinoma. A search of PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane and Scopus databases was performed. A meta-analysis was conducted on five-year survival in gastric cancer patients using inverse variance random-effects methods. The literature search yielded 5329 potential titles, of which a total of seven studies were eligible. Results of six studies including a total of 1779 patients were pooled in the meta-analysis. Only 23 (1.3%) of the patients received neoadjuvant therapy. All six studies had a cut-off of 50% for the proportion of stroma when dividing the patients into low- and high stroma groups. Low TSR (high amount of stroma) was strongly associated with increased five-year mortality (hazard ratio 2.19, 95% CI 1.69–2.85). In conclusion, TSR is a strong prognostic factor in gastric cancer. It could be used to estimate prognosis of gastric cancer patients not receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Further studies including patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy are recommended.
