Introduction. The impact of preoperative BMI on surgical outcomes and long-term survival of gastric cancer patients was investigated in various reports with contrasting results.Materials & Methods. A total of 378 patients who underwent a surgical resection for primary gastric cancer between 1994 and 2011 were retrospectively studied. Patients were stratified according to BMI into a normal group (<25, group A), an overweight group (25–30, group B), and an obesity group (≥30, group C). These 3 groups were compared according to clinical-pathological characteristics, surgical treatment, and long-term survival.Results. No significant correlations between BMI and TNM (2010), UICC stage (2010), Lauren’s histological type, surgical results, lymph node dissection, and postoperative morbidity and mortality were observed. Factors related to higher BMI were male genderP<0.05, diabetesP<0.001, and serum blood proteinsP<0.01. A trend to fewer lymph nodes retrieved during gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy in overweight patients (B and C groups) was observed, although not statistically significant. There was no difference in overall survival or disease-specific survival between the three groups.Conclusion. According to our data, BMI should not be considered a significant predictor of postoperative complications or long-term result in gastric cancer patients.

302 Background: The preoperative stage and intraoperative stage of gastric cancer were unified as the clinical stage in the 8th edition of the TNM classification (UICC). Although there are some reports about the relationship between preoperative stage and prognosis, the relationship between intraoperative stage and prognosis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of intraoperative diagnosis and staging on long-term survival. Methods: Overall survivals were examined in 915 patients who underwent curative resection for gastric adenocarcinoma between April 2011 and March 2019 in our hospital. Results: The median age of the patients was 69 years (27-90 years), including 585 male and 330 female. The median follow-up period was 33.6 months (0.1-86.7 months). The number of the patients according to intraoperative stage were 641(70.1 %) in stageI, 15(1.6%) in stageIIA, 135(14.8%) in stageIIB, 111(12.1%) in stageIII, 12(1.3%) in stageIVA and 1(0.1%) in stageIVB. The hazard ratios of intraoperative stage for overall survival were as follows (ref: StageI); StageIIA, 6.990 (95% CI: 2.473-19.760, p < 0.001), StageIIB, 2.234 (95% CI: 1.220-4.092, p = 0.009), StageIII, 4.091 (95% CI: 2.416-6.928, p < 0.001), StageIVA, 6.061 (95% CI: 2.150-17.080, p < 0.001), StageIVB, 14.92 (95% CI: 2.035-109.3, p = 0.008). Conclusions: The survival of intraoperative StageIIA was poorer than StageIIB/III. Intraoperative positive lymph node metastasis could be negative impact of survival, even if tumor invasion was T1 or T2.

Background: Increasing numbers of studies have shown that postoperative complication is a negative predictor of long-term survival outcomes in in various malignancies. However, the impact of severity of complications on long-term survival for patients with gastric cancer still remains unclear. Aim: This study aimed to explore the relationship between the severity of complications and long-term survival outcomes after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods: The study analyzed 571 patients with AGC who underwent LTG in a single institution between April 2008 and June 2015. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the occurrence or absence of postoperative complications which were recorded using the Clavien-Dindo (C-D) classification. Long-term survival outcomes were compared between groups in the propensity score-matched cohort. Results: The groups were well balanced after the propensity score matched. The complication (C) group was associated with decreased 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) (65.1% vs 76.2%, P = 0.049). Subgroup analysis showed that the severe complication (C-D grade > II) group was associated with decreased 5-year overall survival (OS) (46.3% vs 65.9%, P = 0.042) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (53.7% vs 74.4%, P = 0.030). However, a comparative analysis of 5-year OS and CCS showed no significant differences between the minor complication (C-D grade II) group and matched NC group (68.9% vs 72.2%, P = 0.578; 75.6% vs 77.8%, P = 0.649; respectively). Multivariate analysis confirmed severe complication was an independent risk factor for decreased OS. Further analysis showed that older age, lower body mass index (BMI), and combined resection were independent risk factor for the occurrence of severe complications. Conclusion: Severe complications adversely affected long-term survival outcomes after LTG with D2 lymph node dissection for AGC. More attention should be paid to patients at high risk for severe complications in preoperative assessment and postoperative management.

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complication and its etiology on long-term survival for gastric cancer (GC) patients with curative resection.MethodsFrom January 2009 to December 2014, a total of 1,667 GC patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy were analyzed. Patients with severe complications (SCs) (Clavien–Dindo grade III or higher complications or those causing a hospital stay of 15 days or longer) were separated into a “complication group.” Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to reveal the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival. A 2:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline parameters between the two groups.ResultsSCs were diagnosed in 168 (10.08%) patients, including different etiology: infectious complications (ICs) in 111 (6.66%) and non-infectious complications (NICs) in 71 (4.26%) patients. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of SCs (P=0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, and further analysis by complication type demonstrated that the deteriorated overall survival was mainly caused by ICs (P=0.004) rather than NICs (P=0.068). After PSM, patients with SCs (p=0.002) still had a significantly decreased overall survival, and the presence of ICs (P=0.002) rather than NICs (P=0.067) showed a negative impact on long-term survival.ConclusionSerious complications, particularly of an infectious type, may have a negative impact on overall survival of GC patients. However, additional multicenter prospective studies with larger sample size are required to verify this issue.
