Background/Aims: Identification of nutritional indicators to predict short-term and long-term outcomes is necessary to provide appropriate treatment to patients with gastric cancer. Methods: We designed an analysis of a multicenter dataset of patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy between 2010 and 2014. We enrolled 842 eligible patients who had stage II/III gastric cancer. The area under the curve (AUC) values were compared among prognostic nutritional index (PNI), calculated as 10 × albumin g/dL + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count/mm3, and its constituents, and the predictive value of preoperative PNI for postoperative short-term and long-term outcomes was evaluated. Results: Preoperative PNI exhibited higher AUC values (0.719) for 1-year survival than its constituents, and the optimal cutoff value was 47. The disease-free and overall survival of patients in the PNI-low group were significantly shorter compared with those in the PNI-high group. The prognostic difference between the PNI-high and PNI-low groups was significantly greater in the subgroup of patients who underwent total gastrectomy. Clinically relevant postoperative complications were more frequently observed in the PNI-low group. Conclusions: The preoperative PNI is a useful predictor reflecting the incidence of complications after gastrectomy and the prognosis of patients with stage II/III gastric cancer.

358 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy following curative gastrectomy is recommended for patients with pStage II or III, except pT3 (ss), N0 gastric cancer in Japan. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 versus SOX/XELOX for pStageIII gastric cancer. Methods: Between January 2015 and December 2018, 51 patients with pStage III gastric cancer underwent curative gastrectomy. The combination therapy group received a combined SOX and XELOX regimen as follows: (1) SOX regimen: 130 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin on day 1 every 3 weeks combined with 40 mg/m2 of S-1 twice daily on days 1–14 every 3 weeks; (2) XELOX regimen: 130 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin on day 1 every 3 weeks combined with 1000 mg/m2 of capecitabine twice daily on days 1–14 every 3 weeks. We evaluated their hospital records retrospectively. The indication of SOX/XELOX regimens was based on PS and intent of patients. Results: The S-1 group comprised 28 cases (pStage III A/B/C: 12/8/8), while the SOX/XELOX group comprised 23 cases (pStage III A/B/C: 4/10/9). There was no difference in age, sex, comorbidity, prognostic nutritional index and stage between two groups. The 2-year DFS of the S-1 group and the SOX/XELOX group were 58.6% and 71.7%, respectively (p = 0.367). Subgroup analysis showed that the 2-year DFS of patients with pStage IIIC gastric cancer in the S-1 group was significantly lower than the SOX/XELOX group (S-1 vs. SOX/XELOX: 25.9% vs. 78.7%, p = 0.041). As concerns adverse effects (CTCAE ver 4.0), peripheral sensory neuropathy was significantly higher in the SOX/XELOX group than in the S-1 group (S-1: grade I/II 3.6%/0% vs. SOX/XELOX: grade I/II 21.7%/34.8%, p < 0.001), although the other adverse effects did not differ between the two groups. Conclusions: SOX/XELOX therapy may be more useful than S-1 therapy for more advanced tumors among pStage III gastric cancers.

Abstract Objectives This study was designed to investigate the potential additive influence of perioperative blood transfusion (BTF) and postoperative infections on cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) after radical gastrectomy. Methods The medical records of 2114 consecutive stage II/III GC patients who underwent curative resection and planned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) were retrospectively reviewed. The independent predictive factors for infections were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. Cox regression analysis was used to assess any associations between BTF, infection and CSS. Results A total of 507 (24.0%) received perioperative BTF and 148 (7.0%) developed infections with BTF being identified as an independent predictor for infections. Both BTF and infections independently predicted poor CSS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.193, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.007–1.414; HR 1.323, 95% CI 1.013–1.727) and an additive effect was confirmed as patients who had both BTF and infection had even worse CSS. Further stratified analyses showed that complete AC (≥ 6 cycles) could significantly improve CSS in patients who had BTF and/or infection, which was comparable to those without BTF and/or infection (P = 0.496). Conclusions Infection was the most common complication after gastrectomy and BTF was identified as an independent risk factor. BTF was associated with shorter CSS in stages II/III GC, independent of infections, and receiving BTF and developing infections had an additive effect that was associated with even worse CSS. However, complete AC could significantly improve CSS in these patients. Thus, strategies designed to ensure the completion of AC, such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, should be further investigated.

Background: The Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines recommend S-1 and S-1 plus docetaxel as postoperative chemotherapy for pathological stage II and III gastric cancer (GC). There is currently no strategy for using chemotherapy to treat high-risk recurrent pathological stage II/III. Previous studies reported that the several nutritional, immunological, and inflammatory markers examined the association with clinical outcomes after surgery for GC. Methods: Ninety patients with GC (stage II, n = 48; stage III, n = 42) for whom gastrectomy was performed at our institution between November 2009 and September 2018 were examined. Nutritional, immunological, and inflammatory markers were calculated from blood samples within 1 week before surgery. Results: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) status correlated with the pathological stage and disease recurrence after surgery (p = 0.015 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Thirty-three patients had disease recurrence after gastrectomy (stage II, n = 11; stage III, n = 22). The PNI was significantly lower in the recurrent group than in the non-recurrent group (p = 0.0003). The PNI correlated with overall survival and recurrence-free survival after gastrectomy (p = 0.0021 and p = 0.0001, respectively). A multivariate analysis identified the PNI as an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.006). Conclusion: The PNI may be useful for predicting the outcomes of patients with pathological stage II/III GC and may contribute to the selection of an appropriate adjuvant chemotherapy regimen.
