Abstract Background The effect of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal malignancy remains unclear. The aim of our study was to systematically explore the value of the GNRI in evaluating postoperative complications and long-term outcomes in gastrointestinal malignancy. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using electronic databases to report the impact of the GNRI on postoperative complications and long-term outcomes of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies as of August 2020. The hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to evaluate the impact of the GNRI on long-term outcomes. The risk ratio (RR) with 95% CI was used to assess the impact of the GNRI on postoperative complications. Result A total of nine studies with 2,153 patients were enrolled in our meta-analysis. The results suggested that a low GNRI was correlated with poor overall survival of patients with gastrointestinal malignancy (HR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.65–2.28, p < 0.001). Patients with a low GNRI had a higher risk of complications than patients with a high GNRI (OR = 2.19, 95% CI 1.57–3.05, p < 0.001). In addition, patients with a low GNRI had shorter relapse-free survival (HR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.50–4.00, p < 0.001) and disease-free survival (HR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.23–2.76, p = 0.003) than those with a high GNRI. However, the GNRI was not an independent factor affecting cancer-specific survival (HR = 1.60, 95% CI 0.91–2.82, p = 0.101). Conclusion Based on existing evidence, the GNRI was a valuable predictor of complications and long-term outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal malignancy.

Abstract Background: In node-positive colon cancer, the impact of MLN size on prognosis is controversial. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of metastatic lymph node (MLN) size on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing curative resection for pStage III colon cancer.Methods: This study enrolled patients who underwent curative colectomy for pStage III colon cancer between January 2013 and December 2015. All eligible patients were divided into four groups based on the short-axis diameter of the largest MLN: Group A, < 5 mm; Group B, ≥ 5 mm and < 10 mm; Group C, ≥ 10 mm and < 15 mm; and Group D, ≥ 15 mm. We performed univariate and multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard regression models to identify clinicopathological factors affecting recurrence-free survival (RFS).Results: A total of 209 patients were analyzed. We evaluated 7305 LNs, of which 644 were metastatic. The 5-year RFS rates of Groups A, B, C, and D were 82.3%, 74.6%, 74.5%, and 60.7%, respectively. In univariate analysis, age older than 70 years, Group D (largest MLN ≥ 15 mm), and the absence of adjuvant chemotherapy were significantly associated with RFS. In multivariate analysis, Group D (hazard ratio [HR], 3.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34–11.65; p=0.01) and the absence of adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.26-4.72; p<0.01) were independently associated with worse RFS.Conclusion: A maximum MLN ≥ 15 mm was significantly associated with worse RFS in stage III colon cancer. Bulky MLNs might be a poor prognostic factor in node-positive colon cancer.

19 Background: Depletion of skeletal muscle in aged people (sarcopenia) regarded as a poor prognostic factor in various cancers. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative short- and long-term outcomes in patients with gastric cancer underwent curative resection. Methods: A total of 881 patients who underwent R0 resection for gastric cancer aged 65 or older between June 2003 and March 2011 were included in this study. Muscle mass was assessed by measuring percentage of arm muscle area (%AMA). Preoperative sarcopenia was defined as aged 65 or older, %AMA <80%, and decline in grip strength ( <25kg in men, <20kg in women), according to algorithm suggested by European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) with slight modification. Relationship between sarcopenia and short- and long-term outcomes were evaluated using uni- and multi-variate analysis. Results: Of 881 patients, sarcopenia was diagnosed in 62 patients (7.0%). Incidence of sarcopenia was significantly higher in patients with aged (75 or older), female, low BMI (18.5 or less) and poor PS (2). There was no significant difference of operation time or blood loss between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients. Postoperative complications (Clavien–Dindo classification grade III or higher) was observed in 124 patients (14.1%). Multivariate analysis revealed that T stage and intraoperative blood loss were significant independent risk factors for postoperative complications. The incidence of postoperative complication was similar regardless of the sarcopenia status. The 5-year survival rate was tended to be worse in the sarcopenic patients (67.7%) than in the non-sarcopenic patients (78.4%) (p = 0.058). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age (75 or older), male, total gastrectomy, D2 lymph node dissection, and sarcopenia were selected as independent prognostic factors for gastric cancer. Conclusions: Preoperative sarcopenia determined by %AMA seems not to be a risk for postoperative morbidity. However, sarcopenia appears to be a significant prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer underwent curative resection.

122 Background: Several studies have reported that postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage affect long-term prognosis after gastric cancer surgery. This study aimed to determine whether or not long-term outcomes were affected by the postoperative inflammatory complications in patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer. Methods: The patients were retrospectively selected from the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with nodal dissection for gastric cancer at Yokohama City University and Kanagawa Cancer Center from January 2000 to August 2015. Inflammatory complications were evaluated according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Overall survival (OS) was compared between postoperative inflammatory complications (IC) and no-complication (NC) groups. Results: A total of 2,254 patients were eligible for inclusion in the present study. One hundred seventy-five patients had IC group, while 2,079 patients had not. Operation time (p < 0.001), blood loss (p < 0.001) was significantly greater in the IC group. The incidence of postoperative inflammatory complication grade 2 or higher was 8.5% in which, pancreatic fistula (2.8%), anastomotic leakage (1.8%) were occurred. The mortality rate was 0.18%. The five-year OS rates of the IC and NC groups were 74.9% and 83.2%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0.015). Multivariate Cox’s proportional hazard analyses demonstrated that the postoperative inflammatory complications were a significant prognostic factor for OS. Conclusions: Postoperative inflammatory complications have an obvious impact on the OS in curatively resected gastric cancer patients. It is necessary to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
