Surgical Apgar Score

178 Background: Recently, a simple and easy complication prediction system, the surgical Apgar score (SAS) calculated according to three intraoperative parameters (estimated blood loss, lowest mean arterial pressure, and lowest heart rate), has been proposed for general surgery. We previously reported on the predictive power of SAS for severe complications after gastrectomy. However, the impact of SAS on long-term survival is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to clarify the relationship between SAS and survival outcome in patients with gastric cancer undergoing curative gastrectomy. Methods: This study included 302 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy at the Shizuoka Cancer Center in 2010. Clinical data, including intraoperative parameters, were collected retrospectively. When the SAS score was ≤ 6, patients were classified into an L-SAS group (n = 82), otherwise, they were classified into an H-SAS group (n = 220). Clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes were compared between the groups. Results: There was no difference in demographic data including sex and age between the groups. Total gastrectomy was more frequently performed in the L-SAS group (43%) than in the H-SAS group (21%; P < 0.001). The L-SAS group included patients with higher pT and pN stage. Five-year overall survival rate was worse in the L-SAS group (65.4%) than in the H-SAS group (82.7%; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis, which included age, sex, histology, pT, pN, type of surgery and SAS as covariates, identified lower SAS (HR, 1.71, 95% C.I., 1.04-2.80) as well as age (HR, 1.62, 95% C.I., 1.10-2.40) and pN (HR, 2.05, 95% C.I., 1.19-3.52) as independent prognostic factors. Conclusions: The SAS was found to be a predictive factor for survival. Intraoperative bleeding and vital signs may affect survival of patients, and therefore warrant special attention from surgeons and anesthesiologists.

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.

Background: In the last 10 years, the management of patients with gastric cancer liver metastases (GCLM) has changed from chemotherapy alone, towards a multidisciplinary treatment with liver surgery playing a leading role. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy of hepatectomy for GCLM and to analyze the impact of related prognostic factors on long-term outcomes. Methods: The databases PubMed (Medline), EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant articles from January 2010 to September 2020. We included prospective and retrospective studies that reported the outcomes after hepatectomy for GCLM. A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of prognostic factors was performed. Results: We included 40 studies, including 1573 participants who underwent hepatic resection for GCLM. Post-operative morbidity and 30-day mortality rates were 24.7% and 1.6%, respectively. One-year, 3-years, and 5-years overall survival (OS) were 72%, 37%, and 26%, respectively. The 1-year, 3-years, and 5-years disease-free survival (DFS) were 44%, 24%, and 22%, respectively. Well-moderately differentiated tumors, pT1–2 and pN0–1 adenocarcinoma, R0 resection, the presence of solitary metastasis, unilobar metastases, metachronous metastasis, and chemotherapy were all strongly positively associated to better OS and DFS. Conclusion: In the present study, we demonstrated that hepatectomy for GCLM is feasible and provides benefits in terms of long-term survival. Identification of patient subgroups that could benefit from surgical treatment is mandatory in a multidisciplinary setting.

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.

Abstract Background: Few studies on the comparison among robotic, laparoscopic, and open gastrectomy had been reported in gastric cancer . The goal of this study was to evaluate the advantages of robotic-assisted gastrectomy (RAG) by comparing with laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy(LAG) and open gastrectomy (OG). Methods: 147 gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed between January 2017 and July 2019. Short-term outcomes such as operation time, intraoperative estimated blood loss(EBL),number of retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative recovery, learning curve, and long-term outcome such as overall survival(OS) was compared among RAG, LAG and OG groups. Results: RAG group included 47 patients, 44 in the LAG, and 61 in the OG. Basic information such as gender, age, BMI, ASA degree were similar among three groups, and there were no statistically significances in pathological TNM staging, tumor resection extent, resection margin, methods of reconstruction( P ＞0.05). The cumulative sum(CUSUM) method showed that learning curve of RAG reached stability after 17 cases . For short-term outcomes, the RAG group had the shortest EBL( P =0.033), the shortest time to first flatus( P ＜0.001), shortest time to first intake liquid diet ( P =0.004),shortest postoperative hospital stay ( P =0.023)and the largest number of retrieved lymph nodes( P =0.044),the longest operation time( P ＜0.001), the most expensive treatment cost( P ＜0.001),however, there were no significant differences in postoperative drainage, postoperative white blood cell(WBC)count and early complications among three group( P ＞0.05). In addition to long-term outcome, similar OS was observed in three groups. Conclusion: Compared with LAG and OG, RAG has certain advantages in short-term outcomes and is a safe and reliable surgical method. But still need further prospective, multi-center research to confirm this.

Abstract Aim To investigate whether preoperative malnutrition is associated with long term outcome and survival in patients undergoing radical oesophagectomy for oesophageal or oesophagogastric junction cancer. Background & Methods Dysphagia, weight loss, chemo-radiationtherapy frequently lead to malnutrition in patients with oesophageal or oesophagogastric junction cancer. Severe malnutrition is associated with higher risk of postoperative complications but little is known on the correlation with long term survival. We conducted a single center retrospective study on a prospectively collected database of patients undergoing oesophagectomy from 2008 and 2012 in order to evaluate the impact of preoperative malnutrition with postoperative outcome and long term survival. Preoperative malnutrition was classified as: prealbumin level less than 220 mg/dL (PL), MUST index (Malnutrition Universal Screeening Tool) >2 and weight loss >10%. Results 177 consecutive patients were considered: due to incomplete data 60 were excluded from the analysis that was performed on 117 patients. PL was reported in 52 (44%) patients, MUST index was recorded in 62 (53%), 58 (49%) patients presented more than 10% weight loss at the preoperative evaluation. PL was associated with more postoperative Clavien-Dindo 1-2 complications (p=0.048, OR 2.35 95%IC 1.001-5.50), no differences were observed in mortality, anastomotic leak, major pulmonary complications. MUST index was not correlated with postoperative complications nor mortality but resulted worse in patients treated with chemo-radiotherapy (p=0.046, OR 1.92 95%CI 1.011-3.64). Weight loss >10% was not associated with postoperative complications or mortality. Overall 7 years survival rate was 69%. and DFS was 68%. Malnourished patients did not differ from non-malnourished regarding age, sex, tumor site, tumor stage and histology. No significant difference in 7 years survival rates was observed in patients with PL <220 mg/dL ( 55 % vs 67%), neither in patients with MUST score>2 (58% vs 72%), nor in patients with weight loss >10% (53% vs 70%). Conclusions Malnutrition is more common in patients treated with chemoradiation therapy and it is associated with postoperative complications. However, both long term and disease free survival are not affected by preoperative nutritional status. Larger patient population and data on long term postoperative nutritional status will be analyzed in further studies.

86 Background: The number of reports investigating the impact of postoperative complications on long-term outcome following curative gastrectomy is limited and still remains unclear. The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications on overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) following curative gastrectomy. Methods: Three hundred and sixty-seven patients pts who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer between June 2003 and December 2004 at Shizuoka Cancer Center were included. Clinicopathological features and effects of postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications on OS and RFS were investigated. In this study, postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications were defined as Clavien-Dindo grade II or more severe pancreas fistula, anastomotic leak, or intra-abdominal abscess. Results: Median age was 63 years, male-female ratio was 2:1. Pathological stage was Stage I; 225 patients, stage II; 72 patients, stage III; 64 patients, and stage IV; 6 patients. Median observation periods of survivors were 71 months. Of 367 patients, 32 patients (8.7%) had intra-abdominal infectious complications. Overall 5-year survival rate was significantly better in patients without complications than in those with complications (86.1 vs 67.9%, P<0.001). The same trend was observed even after stratification by pathological stage (Stage II; 76.9 vs 66.7%, P=0.254, Stage III; 62.1 vs 40.9%, P=0.218) although each difference was not statistically significant. Relapse free 5-year survival rate was significantly better in patient without complications (85.0 vs 64.9%, P=0.002), and the same trend was also observed after stratification by pathological stage. Conclusions: Postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications adversely affect overall and relapse free survival of patients following curative gastrectomy. Reduced incidence of infectious complications may be beneficial to improve long-term outcome of patients with gastric cancer.

The Impact

133 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) after D2 gastrectomy has become a standard treatment for stage 2/3 gastric cancer in Japan and Korea; however, the results remain unsatisfactory due to insufficient risk reduction in patients with stage 3 disease and low compliance. Although the administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a promising approach associated with a high rate of compliance and a downstage effect, the long-term survival benefits of this modality are unclear. Moreover, the impact of the pathological response on survival has not been evaluated. Based on the hypothesis that the pathological response grade is associated with survival, we conducted a search for reports of a pathological complete response (pCR) obtained with NAC. Methods: A total of 27 gastric cancer patients who achieved a pCR following NAC therapy were identified using PubMed and the Japanese medical search engine “Ichu-shi,” with the search words “gastric cancer,” “NAC,” and “pCR.” A questionnaire regarding the patients’ prognoses was posted in 23 institutions in Japan in July 2013. Results: Answers regarding 22 patients were obtained from 20 institutions. The subjects included 13 males and nine females. The mean age was 67.5 years. Tumors with stage 3/4 (95.4%: 21/22) and a diffuse-type histology (61.9%: 13/21) were dominant. S1/CDDP was the most frequently selected NAC regimen. A total of 77.2% (17/22) of the patients required combined resection of adjacent organs, and all patients underwent R0 resection and D2 lymphadenectomy. At present, 86.3% (19/22) of the patients are alive without recurrence; none of the ten patients who received postoperative AC demonstrated any recurrence, while three of twelve patients who did not receive postoperative AC developed recurrence, and two patients died of the disease after surgery (at 71 months and nine months, respectively). The overall and recurrence-free survival rates at three/five years were 95.5%/85.1% and 90.9%/75.1%, respectively. Conclusions: Patients with gastric cancer who achieve a pCR with NAC are rare; however, their prognoses are excellent. It is therefore important to develop a NAC regimen focusing on a high pCR rate.

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.
