Purpose:to study clinical and subclinical characteristics in advanced stage gastric cancer patients and to evaluate response rate, overall survival, progression free survival and toxicities on advanced stage gastric cancer patients treated with first line chemotherapy using epirubicin, oxaliplatin, capecitabin Methods: A retrospective case series study with 134 advanced stage gastric cancer patients on first line chemotherapy using epirubicin, oxaliplatin, capecitabin recruited from oncology department, the Hospital of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy and Cancer Center at Hue Central Hospital during January 2015 to June 2019. Results: Patient’s mean age was 54,9; men/women was 2,52/1. The most frequent clinical symptom reported was epigastric pain 81,3%. KPS 80-90% presented in almost patient (93.3%). The most common site of cancer was pyloric antrum (61,9%). 58,2% patients had distant metastasis disease which liver was the most frequent site. The overall response rate, partial response rate, complete response rate were 49,2%, 42,5%, 6,7% respectively. The median progression free survival was 8,6 ± 0,15 months and the overall survival was 10,7 ± 1,1 months. The pathologic type and combined salvage surgery status were response correlated factors. Grade 3, 4 toxicities in term of hematology, liver and kidney function were only exhibited in a few cases. Patients were tolerated well with chemotherapy. No deaths related to chemotherapy. Conclusions: This study shows that EOX regimen was safe and effective. As a results, we can apply this for first line pallative chemotherapy on advanced stage gastric cancer which KPS ≥70%.

90 Background: RESONANCE trial aims to improve 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) for patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and D2 surgery with chemotherapy postoperatively. We also evaluated the postoperative complications with and without preoperative chemotherapy to reveal the safety of SOX regimen. Methods: In this phase III multicenter study, patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC,7thed)stage II-IIII advanced gastric cancer are treated with two to four cycles of preoperative SOX chemotherapy, followed by gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, and then another four to six postoperative cycles of SOX chemotherapy. Surgical and pathological quality control is performed. The primary endpoint is 3-year DFS, secondary endpoints are 3-year OS, D2/R0 rate, and toxicity and recurrence risk. The RESONANCE trial has been registered internationally, and twenty hospitals have participated in this trial. Results: Between February 2012 and to August 2013, 128 patients were enrolled in the neoadjuvant group , 103 patients were enrolled in the adjuvant group. Seventy-four of 128 patients underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy after preoperative chemotherapy. In these 74 patients, 52 (70%) patients had clinical tumor response and 10 (14%) patients achieved histological response. Operative mortality was never encountered. R0 resection rate was 90.5% after neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared with 94.2% in adjuvant group (p=0.23). Postoperative complication rates in neoadjuvant and adjuvant groups were 33.8% and 37.9% respectively (p=0.58). Conclusions: Results of this study will demonstrate whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy strategy will be superior to adjuvant chemotherapy when combined with D2 surgery for AJCC stage II-III gastric cancer patients. Furthermore, it might be an important clinical evidence to verify benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT01583361.

Objective. We performed a meta-analysis of available studies to assess the prognostic value of circulating tumor cells detected by cytological methods for patients with gastric cancer. Methods. Two authors systematically searched the studies independently with key words in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Cochrane Library (from inception to April 2016). The estimated hazard ratio, risk ratio, odds ratio, and their 95% confidence intervals were set as effect measures. All analyses were performed by STATA 12.0. Results. Sixteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. CTCs-high status was significantly associated with poor overall survival (HR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.86–2.66) and progression-free survival (HR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.36–2.99). CTCs-high status was also associated with depth of infiltration (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.16–3.70), regional lymph nodes metastasis (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.26–2.71), and distant metastasis (OR = 2.83, 95% CI: 1.77–4.52). For unresectable gastric cancer patients, CTCs-high status was significantly associated with poor overall survival, progression-free survival, and disease control rate before and during chemotherapy group. Conclusions. Our meta-analysis has evidenced the significant prognostic value of CTCs detected for both PFS and OS in gastric cancer patients. For patients treated with chemotherapy alone, we proved that CTCs detected by cytological method showed a significant prognostic value and poor response to chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: A prospective randomized phase III clinical trial was conducted to assess whether the addition of tamoxifen (TAM) to the three-agent regimen of cisplatin (CDDP), dacarbazine (DTIC), and carmustine (BCNU) significantly increased the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced malignant melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced malignant melanoma were treated with CDDP + DTIC + BCNU (CDB) with or without TAM. The dose schedule was CDDP 25 mg/m2 given intravenously (IV) for 30 to 45 minutes in 500 mL of dextrose and ½ normal saline (NS) on days 1 to 3 of a 3-week cycle; DTIC 220 mg/m2 IV for 1 hour in 500 mL of dextrose and ½ NaCl on days 1 to 3 of a 3-week cycle; BCNU 150 mg/m2 IV for 2 to 3 hours in 750 to1,000 mL of dextrose and 5% water onday 1 of every odd 3-week cycle; and TAM 20 mg taken orally every morning. RESULTS: There were 184 eligible patients enrolled. These patients were observed until death or for a minimum of 1.3 years. At last contact, 12 were still alive. The median time to progression was 3.4 months on the CDB arm and 3.1 months on the CDB + TAM arm. The median survival time was 6.8 months with CDB and 6.9 months with CDB + TAM. Progression-free survival (P = .429) and overall survival (P = .545) were not found to differ by treatment. CONCLUSION: The addition of TAM to this three-agent regimen of CDB was not found to provide a meaningful clinical advantage in the treatment of patients with advanced malignant melanoma.

Abstract Background: New blood vessel formation is a crucial step in the process of tumor growth and systemic metastasis. Recent studies have shown that VEGF expression not in tissues but in serum sample is correlated with tumor vascularity, and the high serum VEGF levels could predict poor prognosis in cancer patients. However there has been no data regarding the clinical and prognostic significance of serum VEGF levels per platelet count in advanced gastric cancer. In this study, we conducted a study to evaluate the prognostic implication of serum VEGF per platelet count in the patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods: 111 patients with histologically confirmed gastric cancer, 35 patients with early gastric cancer were included and control serum samples were acquired from 25 healthy volunteers. The levels of VEGF were measured using human VEGF quantitative enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and survival comparisons were made by the log rank test in metastatic gastric cancer. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was utilized for multivariate analyses after univariate analysis defined relevant prognostic variables. Results: The mean serum VEGF level was higher in the patients of AGC compared to those with EGC and controls (AGC 465 ± 315.8pg/ml; EGC 306 ± 97.8 pg/ml controls 230.8 ± 53.2 pg/ml, P< 0.033). A trend toward a significant positive correlation between serum VEGF and platelet counts was observed in patients of AGC (r = 0.477, P = 0.000, Fig 2) and there was a significant correlation between serum VEGF levels and differentiation of tumor (p = 0.014), stage (p = 0.036). The overall survival (log rank, p =0.0432) and the progression free survival (median 4.5 vs. 8.9 months; log rank, p =0.0116) were significantly shorter in patients with high VEGF per platelet count (≥1.626 pg/106). In the multivarivate analysis, performance status (P=0.025), the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (P=0.006), serum VEGF per platelet (P=0.005) were found to be significantly associated with the short progression free survival Conclusions: This study demonstrated that serum VEGF per platelet count is correlated with short overall survival and progression free survival in advanced gastric cancer patients. Therefore, serum VEGF per platelet may be a useful marker for predicting the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer patients.

Background: 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is basically used in the field of postoperative chemotherapy of gastric cancer (GC), the goal of this study was to evaluate improvement of long-term survival rate among GC patients after the 5-FU implants treatment.Methods: The study included 145 patients with gastric cancer who received postoperative chemotherapy with 5-FU implants and had complete follow-up information. According to the sex, age and clinical stage of 5-FU implants group, 74 patients were matched as the control group at the same time. In the study, we compared the 5-year overall survival rate with progression-free survival rate in the two groups, and the drug safety for both groups during the treatment was also compared.Results: The median follow-up time was 85 months (range 60–116 months). 31 patients (21.38%) died of tumor recurrence in 5-FU implants group and 21 (28.38%) in control group. In the control group, metastatic lesions were found in the small intestine, left adrenal gland and peritoneum in three patients. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 79.71% in 5-FU group and 67.12% in control (p = 0.0045). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 77.68% in 5-FU implants group and 64.87% in control (p = 0.0159). Both the 5-years OS and PFS rates in 5-FU group were better than control group without significant side effect.Conclusions: 5-FU implants may improve 5-years OS and PFS rates after surgery in gastric cancer patients, while good safety profile suggests it could be reliable.

Epigenetic modification of several genes is a key component in the development of gastric cancer. The methylation status of RASSF1A, SOX17 and Wif-1 genes was evaluated in the cell free circulating DNA of 70 patients with advanced gastric cancer, using methylation-specific PCR. Patients with higher cell-free DNA concentration seem to have lower PFS, than patients with lower cell-free DNA concentration (p = 0.001). RASSF1A was the tumor suppressor gene, most frequently methylated in metastatic gastric cancer patients, followed by SOX17 and Wif-1 (74.3%, 60.0% and 47.1%, respectively). Patients having the SOX17 promoter methylated, had lower progression free survival and overall survival, than unmethylated ones (p < 0.001). Patients having the Wif-1 promoter methylated, had lower progression free survival and overall survival, than unmethylated ones (p = 0.001). Patients having the RASSF1A promoter methylated, had lower progression free survival and overall survival, than unmethylated ones (p = 0.004). Promoter methylation of the examined genes was significantly associated with a decrease in progression free survival and overall survival, comparing to that of patients without methylation. Simultaneous methylation of the above genes was associated with even worse progression free survival and overall survival. The methylation of RASSF1A, SOX-17 and Wif-1 and genes, is a frequent epigenetic event in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
