Abstract Background Since the ToGA trial, trastuzumab-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for HER2 positive stage IV gastric cancer. However, it is not yet clear whether surgical resection after trastuzumab-based chemotherapy (conversion surgery) can improve survival of HER2 positive stage IV gastric cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic benefit of conversion surgery in HER2 positive stage IV gastric cancer patients. Case presentation We retrospectively investigated the medical records of the patients with HER2 positive (IHC3(+) or IHC2(+)/FISH(+)) stage IV gastric cancer treated with trastuzumab-based chemotherapy as the first line treatment. Overall survival (OS) was compared between patients with conversion surgery and without. Eleven HER2 positive stage IV gastric cancer patients treated with trastuzumab-based chemotherapy as the first line treatment were evaluated. Response rate was 63.6%, and 6 of 11 patients could receive conversion surgery. R0 resection was achieved in four patients. In Kaplan–Meier analysis, patients who received conversion surgery showed significantly better OS than those without surgery (3-year survival rate, 66.7% vs. 20%, P = 0.03). The median OS of patients who achieved R0 resection is 51.8 months. Conclusions Conversion surgery might have a survival benefit for HER2 positive stage IV gastric cancer patients. If curative surgery is technically possible, conversion surgery could be a treatment option for HER2 positive stage IV gastric cancer.

164 Background: Conversion surgery could be an option for stage IV gastric cancer when distant metastasis (M1) is disappeared by palliative chemotherapy, however, feasibility, safety and efficacy of surgery after long-term chemotherapy remains unclear. Methods: This retrospective study examined 21 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative conversion surgery between 2001 and 2013. Postoperative complications were evaluated according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Median follow-up period (range) was 43.9 months (7.2-72.1 months). The number of M1 factors was one in 17 patients and two in 4, including metastases to non-regional lymph node in 11, peritoneum in 11, and liver in 3. The regimen of chemotherapy was S-1/CDDP in 11 patients, S-1/docetaxel/CDDP in 5, S-1/docetaxel in 2, 5FU/leucovorin/paclitaxel in 1, CPT/CDDP in 1, and S-1 monotherapy in 1. The median duration from initiation of chemotherapy to disappearance of M1 factor was 3.5 months and the median duration from initiation of chemotherapy to the operation was 7.5 months. A total of 19 patients (90.4%) underwent over D2 lymphadenectomy including modified D2 in 2 patients, D2 in 16, and D2 plus para-aortic nodal dissection in 3. M1 tumor was not resected except para-aortic nodal dissection in 3 patients. The median operation time and bleeding were 205 minutes and 228 ml, respectively. Grade 2/3/4 morbidities were observed in 5 patients (23.8%); 2 pancreatic fistula (grade 2), 2 abdominal abscess (grade 2 and 3), and 1 anastomotic leakage (grade 3). No mortality was observed. Pathological response of the primary tumor, defined as disappearance of more than two third of the tumor cells, was 66.7% including 19.0% of complete response. The overall survival (OS) after initiation of chemotherapy was 90.5% at 1-year, 85.7% at 2-year, and 75.9% at 3-year with median survival time (MST) of 52.9 months, while OS after surgery was 90.5% at 1 year, 76.2% at 2-year, and 64.5% at 3-year with MST of 40.9 months. Conclusions: Curative conversion gastrectomy for stage IV gastric cancer was feasible and safe. Considering excellent survival, conversion surgery has a value to be evaluated in prospective studies.

78 Background: Conversion surgery could be an option for unresectable stage IV gastric cancer when distant metastasis (M1) is disappeared by chemotherapy. However, the indication and the optimal timing of conversion surgery in stage IV gastric cancer remain unclear, even if metastatic lesions disappear with chemotherapy. Guideline of National Comprehensive Cancer Network also shows no principle after down-staging. Methods: This retrospective study examined 34 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative conversion surgery at our institute between 2005 and 2014. Clinicopathologic characteristics and patient outcomes were analyzed, with particular focus on the potential to select patients who might benefit from surgical resection. Results: The number of M1 factors was one in 31 patients and two in 3, including metastases to non-regional lymph node in 21, peritoneum in 8, liver in 5, and lung in 3. The regimen of chemotherapy was Docetaxel/CDDP/S-1 in 23 patients, Docetaxel/CDDP/S-1+Trastuzmab in 6, S-1/CDDP in 2, Docetaxel/S-1 in 1, CPT/CDDP in 1, and S-1 monotherapy in 1. The median duration from initiation of chemotherapy to the operation was 114 days (range 37-653 days). Total gastrectomy was performed in 27 patients and distal gastrectomy was performed in 7 patients. Complete resection with no residual tumor (R0) was achieved in 23 of 34 patients, microscopic residual tumor status (R1) in 10, and macroscopic residual tumor (R2) in 1. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate among the patients who underwent conversion therapy was 58.0% with MST of 1190 days. Univariate analysis among the patents with conversion surgery identified intestinal differentiation, pathological response grade≧1b, R0 resection as significant prognostic factors. Patients operated on more than 91 days from initiation of chemotherapy had the 3-year survival rate of 68.2%, compared to 40.0% for patients operated on less than 90 days. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate the increased 3-year survival rate associated with delayed conversion surgery for stage IV gastric cancer. Delayed conversion surgery should be considered for patients, even if metastatic lesions disappear with chemotherapy.

Abstract Background Stage IV advanced gastric cancer with para-aortic lymph node metastasis (PALM) is considered unresectable. Systemic chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for such tumors, while conversion surgery may be a treatment option in the case chemotherapy is effective but R0 resection is possible. We report a case of stage IV gastric cancer with PALM that showed pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using S-1, oxaliplatin, and trastuzumab (SOX+HER). Case presentation A 69-year-old woman who was diagnosed with type 4 stage IV gastric cancer with PALM underwent five courses of NAC with the SOX+HER regimen. The primary tumor and the PALM shrank after treatment, suggesting that the NAC induced a partial response. We performed a total gastrectomy plus distal pancreaticosplenectomy with para-aortic lymph node dissection. Histological analysis revealed no remnant cancer cells in the primary tumor or the lymph nodes, confirming a pCR. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on day 14 after the operation. S-1 was started as adjuvant chemotherapy, and the patient remains alive without recurrence 2 months after surgery. Conclusion This case shows the possibility of conversion surgery after SOX+HER therapy for stage IV advanced gastric cancer with PALM.
