e16569 Background: The incidence, prognostic and predictive impacts of PD-L1 expression in locally advanced gastric cancer is unknown. We aimed to determine the expression of PD-L1 by CPS in the pre-treatment biopsy and surgical specimens of patients (pts) with gastric cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy and its association with pathological response and survival outcomes. Methods: Retrospective cohort of pts treated at a cancer center from 2007 to 2017. Pts with confirmed gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who received neoadjuvant treatment and curative-intent D2 surgery were included. Gastric stump tumors and those who had a total esophagectomy were excluded. Clinical data were obtained from medical charts. Biopsy samples and a tissue microarray with the most representative areas of the surgical specimen were used to detect PD-L1 IHC expression with 22C3 phamDx antibody. Results were analyzed using the CPS score. Overall and DFS survival included the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimator in an ITT analysis and a Cox regression was used to obtain crude and adjusted HR for prognostic factors. Results: 270 pts were included: median age was 58.9 years, most (51.5%) had cT3-T4N+ stages, 45% had diffuse histology and 87.8% completed the preoperative regimen. 13% had a pCR, while 53% had minimal tumor regression. With a median follow-up of 60.3 months (CI 95% 54.7 – 65.8), the median OS and DFS were not reached. 11.4% of biopsies and 18.6% of surgical specimens had positive CPS, with a median score of 3 (IQR 2,0 – 7,5) and 9 (IQR 5.0 – 20.0) respectively. In 18.9% of paired samples the PD-L1 expression was found to be negative in the biopsy sample and positive in the surgical specimen. PD-L1 expression was neither associated with pathologic response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, nor with survival outcomes. Conclusions: PD-L1 expression on the setting of locally advanced gastric cancer was low and it was different when biopsy and surgical specimens were compared. No impact on survival results could be detected. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background The oncological outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) and open gastrectomy (OG) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy have been investigated in a few studies. Our purpose was to evaluate the oncological outcomes of LG and OG after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) and to determine the advantages, preferences, and ease of use of the two techniques after chemotherapy. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent either OG (n = 43) or LG (n = 41). The neoadjuvant treatment regimen consisted of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin for three cycles, which was then repeated 6 to 12 weeks after the operation for four cycles. Results The hospital stay time and intraoperative blood loss in the LG group were significantly lower than those in the OG group. The mortality rate and the 3-year survival rate for patients in the LG group were comparable to those of patients in the OG group (4.6% vs. 9.7% and 68.3% vs. 58.1%, respectively). Similar trends were observed regarding the 3-year recurrence rate and metastasis. The mean survival time was 52.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 44.2–61.6) in the OG group compared with 43.3 (95% CI, 36.6–49.8) in the LG group. Likewise, the mean disease-free survival was 56.1 months (95% CI, 46.36–65.8) in the LG group compared with 50.9 months (95% CI, 44.6–57.2) in the OG group. Conclusion LG is a feasible and safe alternative to OG for patients with locally advanced GC receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

AbstractThis study aims to evaluate the performance of a radiomic signature-based model for predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) using preoperative contrast-enhanced CT. This retrospective study included a training cohort (349 patients) and an external validation cohort (61 patients) who underwent curative resection for LAGC in 2010 without neoadjuvant therapies. Available preoperative clinical factors, including conventional CT staging and endoscopic data, and 438 radiomic features from the preoperative CT were obtained. To predict RFS, a radiomic model was developed using penalized Cox regression with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator with ten-fold cross-validation. Internal and external validations were performed using a bootstrapping method. With the final 410 patients (58.2 ± 13.0 years-old; 268 female), the radiomic model consisted of seven selected features. In both of the internal and the external validation, the integrated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of both the radiomic model (0.714, P < 0.001 [internal validation]; 0.652, P = 0.010 [external validation]) and the merged model (0.719, P < 0.001; 0.651, P = 0.014) were significantly higher than those of the clinical model (0.616; 0.594). The radiomics-based model on preoperative CT images may improve RFS prediction and high-risk stratification in the preoperative setting of LAGC.
