Background: Polymorphisms in miRNA machinery genes have been proved to be related to risk or survival of several kinds of cancers, but the results are controversial and the role of these polymorphisms in gastric cancer remains uncertain. In our study, we investigated the association between five genetic variants in miRNA machinery genes ( DICER, RAN, XPO5 [name of the gene]) and clinical outcomes in Chinese gastric cancer patients. Methods: A total of 96 patients with stage IB-III gastric cancer treated with radical gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy of oxaliplatin and fluorouracils were analyzed. The MassARRAY MALDI-TOF system was used to determine the genotypes. Results: DICER rs3742330 AG+GG genotype was associated with more advanced T stage compared to AA genotype ( P=0.009). More patients with XPO5 rs2257082 CC genotype had poorly differentiated tumors compared with CT+TT genotype carriers. After adjustment by age, sex, differentiation, T stage, and lymph node status, XPO5 rs2257082 CC genotype carriers were found to have worse disease-free survival than CT+TT genotype carriers (adjusted HR 3.099; 95% CI 1.270, 7.564; P=0.013), carriers of RAN rs14035 CC genotype had higher three-year OS rate than carriers of CT+TT genotype (adjusted HR 3.174; 95% CI 1.010, 9.973; P=0.048). Conclusions: These results indicated that genetic variants in miRNA machinery genes might be associated with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of completely resected gastric cancer patients.

181 Background: To compare the efficacy of docetaxel plus FOLFOX4 to FOLFOX4 as adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients. Methods: 320 patients with stage IB-IV (M0) gastric cancer were enrolled into the retrospective study. All patients received a total or subtotal gastrectomy with at least D1 lymph nodes dissection. 193 patients received FOLFOX4 as adjuvant chemotherapy. 127 patients received biweekly docetaxel plus FOLFOX4 (DOF regimen) as adjuvant chemotherapy. Docetaxel was administered at 40 mg/m2 on day 1, followed by FOLFOX4 regimen. Both of the regimens were repeated every 2 weeks for a maximum of 12 cycles. Results: In comparison with patients in FOLFOX4 group, patients in DOF group were relatively younger (p=.001), with more advanced disease in pN stage (p=.035) and pTNM stage (p=.031), received more cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (p=.004), and had a higher percentage of adjuvant radiation (p =.002). After adjustment of unbalanced variables as mentioned above, no statistical difference was observed between DOF group and FOLFOX4 group in terms of 3-year disease-free survival (54% vs 69%, p = 0.100, HR 1.362, 95% CI (0.943-1.967)) and 3-year overall survival(70% vs 72%, p = 0.810, HR 1.049, 95% CI (0.711-1.548)). Stratified analysis according to clinicopathologic characters showed that there were almost no statistical differences of 3-year overall survival rates between two groups, except the primary site (middle 1/3) (p =.025) and pTNM stage (IIb stage) (p =.035) in favor of FOLFOX4 group. The incidences of grade 3/4 adverse events were obviously higher in DOF group than in FOLFOX4 group,including decreased appetite (18.1% V 10.4%, P = 0.046), diarrhea (4.7% V 0%, p=0.004 ), hypersensitivity reactions to oxaliplatin (3.1% V 0%, p=0.024) and neutropenia (47.3% V 31.6%, p=0.004). Conclusions: Compared to FOLFOX4 regimen, adjuvant docetaxel plus FOLFOX4 did not show significant survival advantages in gastric cancer patients. However, a more serious toxicity profile was observed in docetaxel plus FOLFOX4 arm. Further studies are needed to decide whether triplet regimen is appropriate as adjuvant chemotherapy of gastric cancer.

e15560 Background: Preoperative NLR was well known as highly repeatable, cost-effective and widely available long-term postoperative prognostic marker of gastric cancer patients. However, the utility of preoperative NLR to predict short-term outcomes in gastric cancer patients remains unclear. In this study, we addressed whether the preoperative NLR is a predictive value of short-term outcome in gastric cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 154 consecutive gastric cancer patients. Mean NLR was calculated, and 3.5 was set as cut-off value. The patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes were respectively compared. In addition, median survival times (MSTs) were also compared. In terms of stage II/III (UICC 7th) gastric cancer patients, median disease-free survival times (MDFSTs) were compared between the two groups. Results: The patients were then divided into two groups: low-NLR group (n = 110) and high-NLR group (n = 44). Among low-NLR group and high-NLR group, significant differences were respectively observed in preoperative symptoms [56 (51%) vs. 31 (70%); p = 0.027] and perioperative outcomes including postoperative complications [3 (2.7%) vs. 5 (11.3%); p = 0.015], intraoperative blood loss (158 ± 168 g vs. 232 ± 433 g; p = 0.022), and intraoperative blood transfusion [0 vs. 3 (6.8%); p = 0.042]. MSTs and MDFSTs were significantly differed (812 vs. 594 days; p = 0.04, 848 vs. 475 days; p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusions: The present study indicated that preoperative NLR influenced not only long-term outcomes but also perioperative outcomes in gastric cancer patients. Preoperative NLR is also a useful predictive value of short-term outcomes in gastric cancer patients.

Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between HER2 overexpression in the tumor and MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, and p53 status and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer patients.Methods. This retrospective study included 282 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery at the Kosin University Gospel Hospital between April 2011 and December 2012. All tumor samples were examined for HER2 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, and p53 expression by staining. A retrospective review of the medical records was conducted to determine the correlation between the presence of HER2 overexpression and clinicopathological factors.Results. The HER2-positive rate was 18.1%. Although no association was found between HER2 expression and MUC5AC, the expression of MUC2, MUC6, and p53 was significantly correlated with HER2 positivity, respectively (P= 0.004, 0.037, 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that HER2 overexpression and nodal status were independent prognostic factors.Conclusions. HER2 overexpression in gastric carcinoma is an independent poor prognostic factor.

The role of serum serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 4 (SPINK4), in colorectal cancer (CRC) is largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the association and diagnostic value of serum SPINK4 in CRC. A total of 70 preoperative CRC patients, 30 postoperative CRC patients, 30 gastric cancer patients, and 30 healthy controls were enrolled. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, we found that the serum SPINK4 level was significantly increased in preoperative CRC compared with postoperative CRC patients, gastric cancer patients, and healthy controls (p < 0.05). The serum SPINK4 level was remarkably elevated in colon cancer compared with rectal cancer and was enhanced in the M1 stage compared with the M0 stage (p < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of serum SPINK4 level in the diagnosis of CRC was 0.9186, with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.886 and 0.900, respectively, and a cut-off value of 2.065. There was no significant difference between high and low expression of serum SPINK4 regarding the overall survival time and disease-free survival (p > 0.05). This study demonstrated that the serum SPINK4 level increased in CRC and was associated with the location and distant metastasis of CRC. It had a high diagnostic value in CRC but was not associated with the survival of CRC patients.

TPS4142 Background: Complete surgical resections remains the only chance for cure in patients with gastric cancer, but approximately from 40% to 80% of patients still have recurrences and most patients ultimately die from their disease. The recent adjuvant trials in gastric cancer showed significantly improved survival in patients with adjuvant chemotherapy than those with surgery alone. However, further studies need for the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy following D2 dissected gastric cancer patients, especially in advanced gastric cancer. S-1 is an oral anticancer drug, a prodrug of fluorouracil, very effective in gastric cancer. Docetaxel is the first drug that showed survival benefits when added to the two drugs in advanced gastric cancer patients. And docetaxel is also synergistic anti-cancer effect with S-1 in advanced gastric cancer. Base on this background, the aim of this study is to detect a significant increase in 3 –year disease free survival (DFS) of adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel and S-1(DS) relative to those with S-1 and cisplatin (SP) in patients with stage III gastric cancer Methods: This study is an open-label, phase 3, randomized controlled trial, multicenter in South Korea. Patients with stage III (AJCC 7th edition) gastric cancer who had had curative D2 gastrectomy is randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy of eight 3-week cycles of intravenous docetaxel (35 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 of each cycle) plus oral S-1 (35 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14 of each cycle) for 6 months (DS) or chemotherapy of eight 3-week cycles of oral S1 plus intravenous cisplatin (60 mg/m2). After satisfying the screening criteria, patients have been randomized to the SD or SP arm in a 1:1 ratio. The randomization is stratified by institution and stage of disease (IIIA vs. IIIB vs. IIIC). The each stratum has been randomized by using the method of randomly permuted block. The primary endpoint is 3 year DFS, will analyze by intention to treat. A total of 290 patients will be enrolled, 67 patients have been treated to day, with continuing accrual. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01283217).
