Purpose The ARTIST (Adjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy in Stomach Cancer) trial was the first study to our knowledge to investigate the role of postoperative chemoradiotherapy therapy in patients with curatively resected gastric cancer with D2 lymph node dissection. This trial was designed to compare postoperative treatment with capecitabine plus cisplatin (XP) versus XP plus radiotherapy with capecitabine (XP/XRT/XP). Patients and Methods The XP arm received six cycles of XP (capecitabine 2,000 mg/m2 per day on days 1 to 14 and cisplatin 60 mg/m2 on day 1, repeated every 3 weeks) chemotherapy. The XP/XRT/XP arm received two cycles of XP followed by 45-Gy XRT (capecitabine 1,650 mg/m2 per day for 5 weeks) and two cycles of XP. Results Of 458 patients, 228 were randomly assigned to the XP arm and 230 to the XP/XRT/XP arm. Treatment was completed as planned by 75.4% of patients (172 of 228) in the XP arm and 81.7% (188 of 230) in the XP/XRT/XP arm. Overall, the addition of XRT to XP chemotherapy did not significantly prolong disease-free survival (DFS; P = .0862). However, in the subgroup of patients with pathologic lymph node metastasis at the time of surgery (n = 396), patients randomly assigned to the XP/XRT/XP arm experienced superior DFS when compared with those who received XP alone (P = .0365), and the statistical significance was retained at multivariate analysis (estimated hazard ratio, 0.6865; 95% CI, 0.4735 to 0.9952; P = .0471). Conclusion The addition of XRT to XP chemotherapy did not significantly reduce recurrence after curative resection and D2 lymph node dissection in gastric cancer. A subsequent trial (ARTIST-II) in patients with lymph node–positive gastric cancer is planned.

ABSTRACT EVALUATION OF OUTCOMES TOTALLY LAPAROSCOPIC TOTAL GASTRECTOMY AND LAPAROSCOPIC - ASSISTED TOTAL GASTRECTOMY WITH D2 LYMPH NODE DISSECTION DUE TO CANCER Introduction: To evaluate the results of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) and laparoscopicassisted total gastrectomy (LATG) with D2 lymph node dissection to treat gastric cancer in the Nghean General Friendship Hospital. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, 126 patients with gastric cancer underwent TLTG and LATG with D2 lymph node dissection between 2013 and 2020. Results: There were 126 patients with an average age of 60.6 ± 11.1 years. The male/female ratio was 2.8/1. The percent of patients with tumors at stages I, II, III were 19.0%, 49.2%, 31.7%, 70.6% of patients had papillary adenocarcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma. Patients with ring cell carcinoma wereaccounted for 24.6%. The total percent of incidents during the surgery of the group of TLTG was 4.4%, and the group of LATG was 20.6%. The average number of harvested lymph nodes in the group of TLTG was 23.7 ± 7.1, and the group of LATG was 18.0 ± 7.2. The average blood loss in the group of TLTG was 30.56 ± 10.2 ml, and the group of LATG was 36.11 ± 9.9 ml, and the average operation time in the group of TLTG was 206.4 ± 30.6 minutes, and the group of LATG was 220 ± 40.9 minutes. The total percent of postoperative complications in the group of TLTG was 4.4%, and the group of LATG was 22.3%. The hospital stays in the group of TLTG was 7.5 ± 2.1 days, and the group of LATG was 10.2 ± 2.4 days. Conclusions: TLTG and LATGwith D2 lymph node dissectionwere safe and effective in treating gastric cancer. Keywords: Laparoscopic gastrectomy, gastric cancer, total gastrectomy

For many decades, D2 procedure has been accepted in the far-east as the standard treatment for both early (EGC) and advanced gastric cancer (AGC). In case of AGC, the debate on the extent of nodal dissection has been open for many years in order to highlight the safety and efficacy of treatment, hence this study. A comprehensive literature research was performed in PubMed to identify studies that compared laparoscopic- assisted gastrectomy (LAG) and open gastrectomy (OG) with D2 lymph node dissection (D2-LND) for treatment of AGC for the last five years. Data of interest were checked and subjected to meta-analysis with RevMan 5.3 software. The pooled risk ratios (RR) and weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Overall, 19 studies were included in this meta-analysis. LG had some advantages over OG, including shorter hospitalization (WMD -2.31; 95% CI -4.09 to -0.53; P = 0.01), less blood loss (WMD -120.49; 95% CI -174.27 to -66.71; P < 0.01), faster bowel recovery (WMD -0.55; 95% CI -0.86 to -0.24; P ˂ 0.01) and earlier ambulation (WMD -0.75; 95% CI -1.38 to -0.11; P = 0.02). In terms of surgical and oncological safety, LG could achieve similar lymph nodes (WMD, -0.94, 95% CI, -2.95 to 1.06; P=0.36), a lower complication rate [odds ratio (OR)=0.80; 95%CI, 0.68-0.97; P=0.02], and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) comparable to OG. In conclusion, for AGCs both techniques (LAG and OG) appeared comparable in short- and long-term results. More time was needed to perform LAG; nonetheless, it had some advantages in achieving faster postoperative recovery over OG. In order to clarify this controversial issue ongoing trials and future studies are needed.
