35 Background: In type 4 gastric cancer, the incidence of peritoneal metastasis which was unexpectedly found during surgery was as high as 40 percent. It is very difficult to detect peritoneal metastasis in clinical imaging such as computed tomography or ultrasound before operation. Staging laparoscopy (SL) is considered to be an only minimal invasive procedure to detect peritoneal metastasis. However, the significance of SL had not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study is to assess the role of SL in type 4 gastric cancer. Methods: From September 2002 to March 2012, a total of 169 patients with type 4 gastric cancer who were diagnosed as not having distant metastasis in clinical imaging were enrolled in this study. SL was performed for 56 patients, and the other 113 patients underwent open laparotomy (OL) without SL. We retrospectively examined the incidence of peritoneal metastasis and positive peritoneal cytology and treatment courses in patients who underwent SL and OL. Results: In 56 patients undergoing SL, 23 (41%) had peritoneal metastasis and 40 (71%) had positive peritoneal cytology. Similarly, 54 (48%) had peritoneal metastasis and 86 (76%) had positive peritoneal cytology in 113 patients undergoing OL. There were no significant differences of the incidence of peritoneal metastasis and positive peritoneal cytology between the two groups. Subsequent treatments after SL or OL were diverse depends on patients condition and participating clinical trials, however, 17 (32%) in SL group and 13 (12%) in OL group were treated without surgical interventions. There was no morbidity and mortality in both SL group and OL group. In SL group, open surgery was performed soon afterword in 39 patients. Among them, 2 patients was failed to detect peritoneal metastasis by SL. Therefore the accuracy of detecting peritoneal metastasis in SL was 23/25 (92%). Conclusions: In type 4 gastric cancer, the incidence of peritoneal metastasis was around 40% and positive peritoneal lavage cytology was around 70% in both SL and OL. As SL is less invasive than OL, SL appears to be a useful way to detect peritoneal seeding and establish treatment strategy in patients with type 4 gastric cancer.

450 Background: Patients with peritoneal metastasis have significantly poor prognosis. We have performed pretherapeutic staging laparoscopy (SL) to diagnose peritoneal metastasis for patients with large type 3, type 4 or serosa-invasive gastric cancer. When peritoneal metastasis disappears by chemotherapy for patients with positive peritoneal cytology (CY1) or peritoneal dissemination (P1), we perform the conversion surgery (CS). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes of 134 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent SL between 2005 from 2016. We examined safety and usefulness of CS for patients with CY1 or P1. Results: CY0P0, CY1P0 and P1 were found in 67, 28 and 39 patients, respectively. The median survival time (MST) of patients with CY0P0, CY1P0 and P1 were 39, 21 and 11 months (CY0P0 vs CY1P0; p = 0.029, CY0P0 vs P1; p<0.001, CY1P0 vs P1; p<0.001). In patients with CY1P0, 20 of 26 patients who received chemotherapy underwent the second look SL, and 14 patients (54%) underwent CS (R0) as peritoneal cytology turned negative. These regimens of chemotherapy were S-1/CDDP (n = 9), Docetaxel/CDDP/S-1 (n = 2), SOX (n = 2) and S-1/Docetaxel (n = 1) and the median number of treatment courses was5courses. The MSTs of patients with or without CS were 40 months and 11 months (p<0.001). Then, there was no difference in overall survival between patients with CS and patients with CY0P0 at the first SL (p = 0.866). All patients with P1received chemotherapy, and 11 of these patients underwent the second look SL. As peritoneal metastasis of 7 patients (18%) disappeared by chemotherapy, they underwent CS (R0). The MSTs of patients with or without CS were 31 months and 9 months (p = 0.026). Regarding complications after CS, surgical-site infection and interstitial pneumonia each occurred in one patient (grade II), and intestinal obstruction (grade IIIa) occurred in one patient. There was no mortality. Conclusions: This study suggests that CS is probably safe and may contribute to improve the survival rate of patients with peritoneal metastasis. Moreover, we developed the NSOX regimen, comprised of a combination nab-paclitaxel, S-1 and oxaliplatin, and have performed a phase I/II trial using the NSOX regimen (UMIN000030909).

Optimal Treatment Strategy

Abstract This retrospective study identified the optimal treatment strategy for patients with gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology. We analyzed clinicopathologic and survival data for 54 patients who had undergone gastrectomy and/or chemotherapy for treatment of gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology with (n = 40) or without (n = 14) metastatic disease. The median overall survival did not differ significantly between patients with gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology with and without metastatic disease (19 versus 13 months, respectively). Among 14 clinicopathologic variables, the lack of gastrectomy was the only significant independent unfavorable factor for survival (odds ratio, 1.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.04–2.57; P = 0.03). The median overall survival significantly differed among patients who had undergone gastrectomy plus chemotherapy, chemotherapy alone, and gastrectomy alone (25, 10, and 17 months, respectively; P &lt; 0.01). Gastrectomy may be optimal for patients with (gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology), considering its favorable prognostic effect with respect to perioperative chemotherapy.

e15574 Background: Although the prognosis of gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis is extremely poor, we previously showed the significant efficacy of S-1 plus cisplatin for limited peritoneal dissemination, and favorable outcome following curative resection. We conducted a phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and S-1 (DCS) triplet regimen for patients (pts) with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. Methods: The key eligibility criteria were gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology, without any other distant metastases, age between 20 and 75 years old, PS 0 or 1, capable of oral administration, and adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function. Pts received three 28-day cycles of DCS (cisplatin of 60 mg/m2, docetaxel of 40mg/m2 on day 1, and S-1 of 80 mg/m2 from day 1 to 14). Following evaluation for resectability, pts received D2 gastrectomy if R0 was possible. Primary endpoint was R0 resection rate. Secondary endpoints were clinical response of peritoneal metastasis, overall response, pathological response, adverse events, progression free survival, and overall survival. Sample size was determined to have 80% power for detecting 20% improvement of R0 resection rate over 45% baseline at one-sided alpha of 0.1. Results: Between June 2011 and April 2015, 30 pts were enrolled. All pts started DCS and were included in the analysis. Three cycles of DCS (80%) were completed in 24 pts (80%). The most frequent grade 3/4 toxicity was neutropenia (60%). Complete response of peritoneal metastasis was observed in 16 pts (53%), 21 pts underwent surgery, and 14 pts achieved R0 resection (47%; 95%CI, 28-66%). When the extent of peritoneal metastasis was classified as P0CY1, P1, P2, and P3 according to the Japanese classification, R0 resection rate for each group was 63%, 60%, 46%, or 0%, respectively. Conclusions: Induction chemotherapy with DCS is safe, and could achieve R0 resection in some patients with limited peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology. However, the efficacy seems to be similar to the conventional S-1 plus cisplatin. Clinical trial information: UMIN000004932.

96 Background: The presence of free cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity has been known as a poor prognostic factor in gastric cancer patients. Intraperitoneal (IP) paclitaxel (PTX) provides powerful local effects in the peritoneal cavity, and we previously reported the efficacy and safety of a regimen combining IP PTX with S-1/PTX in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. This multicenter phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of IP PTX plus S-1/PTX for gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology. Methods: Eligibility criteria included pathologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma, intraperitoneal free cancer cells confirmed by peritoneal washing cytology, and no evidence of overt distant metastasis including macroscopic peritoneal metastasis. Patients were administered IP PTX 20 mg/m2, intravenous PTX 50 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, and S-1 80 mg/m2/day on days 1-14, q3 weeks. The primary endpoint was the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary endpoints were response rate, negative conversion rate on peritoneal cytology and safety. Results: Thirty eight patients were enrolled and fully evaluated for OS and toxicity. The median number of courses was 12.5 (range 2-35). The 1-year OS rate was 84.2% (95 % confidence interval, 68.2-92.6%). Of 3 patients with target lesions, partial response and stable disease were obtained in 2 and 1 patient(s), respectively. The peritoneal cytology findings converted from positive to negative in 36 (94.7 %) patients. The incidences of grade 3/4 hematological and non-hematological toxicities were 45 % and 26 %, respectively. The frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (23%), leukopenia (7%) and anemia (8%). Regarding adverse events related to IP port, 2 patients developed swelling around the port site. Conclusions: IP PTX with S-1/PTX was suggested to be a promising option for gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology through the clearance of cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity.

Abstract Background Intraperitoneal (IP) administration of paclitaxel (PTX) has a great pharmacokinetic advantage to control peritoneal lesions and can be combined with various systemic chemotherapies. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a combination of IP-PTX and systemic S-1/oxaliplatin (SOX) for induction chemotherapy for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from gastric cancer (GC). Patients and Methods Patients with GC who were diagnosed as macroscopic PM (P1) or positive peritoneal cytology (CY1) by staging laparoscopy between 2016 and 2019 were enrolled. PTX was IP administered at 40 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8. Oxaliplatin was IV administered at 100 mg/m2 on day 1, and S-1 was administered at 80 mg/m2/day for 14 consecutive days, repeated every 21 days. Survival time and toxicities were retrospectively explored. Results Forty-four patients received SOX + IP-PTX with a median (range) of 16 (1–48) courses, although oxaliplatin was suspended due to the hematotoxicity or intolerable peripheral neuropathy in many patients. The 1-year overall survival (OS) rate was 79.5% (95% CI 64.4–88.8%) with median survival time of 25.8 months. Gastrectomy was performed in 20 (45%) patients who showed macroscopic shrinkage of PM with a 1-year OS rate of 100% (95% CI 69.5–100%). Grade 2 and 3 histological responses was achieved in four (20%) and one (5%) patients. Grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (11%), leukopenia (39%), and anemia (14%). There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions Combination chemotherapy using SOX + IP-PTX regimen is highly effective and recommended as induction chemotherapy for patients with PM from GC.
