RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: We previously showed that daily nutritional intervention with an oral elemental diet (ED) at 300 kcal/day for 6-8 weeks postoperatively decreased the percentage of body weight loss (%BWL), and that the effect was maintained for 1 year. This post hoc analysis aimed to determine whether this intervention decreased skeletal muscle mass loss 1-year post-gastrectomy. METHODS: Data from consecutive, untreated patients with histopathologically confirmed stage I-III gastric adenocarcinoma who planned to undergo total gastrectomy (TG) or distal gastrectomy (DG) and were enrolled in a previously published randomized trial were used. The primary endpoint was the percentage of skeletal muscle mass index (%SMI) loss from baseline at 1 year postoperatively, based on abdominal computed tomography images obtained preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS: The overall median %SMI loss was lower in the ED versus control group, but the difference was not significant. The difference in %SMI loss in the ED and control groups was greater in patients with TG (10.1 vs. 13.0; P = 0.12) than in those with DG (5.5 vs. 6.8; P = 0.69). A correlation was observed between %BWL and %SMI loss in both groups (ED group, coefficient 0.591; control group, coefficient 0.644; P < 0.001 for both). Type of gastrectomy (coefficient 7.38; P = 0.001) and disease stage (coefficient - 6.43; P = 0.04) were independent predictors of postoperative skeletal muscle mass loss. CONCLUSION: ED administration for 6-8 weeks following gastrectomy had no inhibitory effect on skeletal muscle loss at 1 year postoperatively. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: UMIN000023455.

BACKGROUND: Although there is insufficient evidence for the treatment of older patients with advanced gastric cancer, fluorouracil combined with platinum chemotherapy has been recognized as a standard first-line treatment for such populations in Japan despite the lack of efficacy and toxicity data. METHODS: Patients aged 75 years or older with advanced gastric cancer were enrolled. S-1 plus docetaxel (docetaxel: 40 mg/m2, day 1; S-1: 80 mg/m2, days 1-14; q21 days) was repeated every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall response rate. Secondary endpoints were safety, progression-free survival, time to treatment failure, and overall survival. The sample size was calculated as 30 under the hypothesis of an expected response rate of 40% and a threshold response rate of 20%, at a power of 90% and a two-sided alpha value of 5%. RESULTS: From February 2010 to January 2015, 31 patients were enrolled and assessed for efficacy and toxicity. The response rate was 45.2% (95% CI 27.3%-64.0%; p = 0.001) and it exceeded the expected response rate set at 40%. Median progression-free survival was 5.8 months, the 1-year survival rate was 58.1%, and the median survival time was 16.1 months. The major grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (58%), febrile neutropenia (13%), anemia (10%), anorexia (10%), and fatigue (6%). CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that S-1 plus docetaxel as first-line treatment for older patients is feasible and that it has promising efficacy against advanced gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Robotic gastrectomy(RG)for gastric cancer(GC)has been covered by health insurance since 2018. In this study, we examined the results of RG for GC at our hospital during the initial period of its introduction. MATERIALS AND METHOD: From August 2022 to May 2023, we retrospectively examined the surgical outcomes and short-term postoperative outcomes of the first 9 patients who underwent RG for GC at our hospital. RESULTS: The median patient age was 77(67-82) years, gender was 4 males and 5 females, and distal gastrectomy was performed in all patients. The median operative time was 410(323-486)min, blood loss was 5(1-140)mL, postoperative hospital stay was less than 9 days in all patients, and there was no conversion to laparoscopic or open surgery. There were no postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo Grade â ¡ or above. CONCLUSION: In this study, RG for GC was performed safely without intraoperative or postoperative complications.

BACKGROUND: S-1 plus cisplatin (SP) and capecitabine plus cisplatin (XP) are standard first-line regimens for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) worldwide. We conducted a meta-analysis using individual participant data (IPD) to investigate which is more suitable. METHODS: IPD from three randomized trials were collected. In these trials, patients with AGC were randomly allocated to SP (S-1 80-120 mg for 21 days plus cisplatin 60 mg/m2 (q5w)) or XP (capecitabine 2000 mg/m2 for 14 days plus cisplatin 80 mg/m2 (q3w)). RESULTS: In 211 eligible patients, median overall survival (OS) for SP versus XP was 13.5 and 11.7 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.787; p = 0.114), progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.2 and 5.1 months (HR, 0.767; P = 0.076), and TTF was 5.1 and 4.0 months (HR, 0.611; P = 0.001). The most common grade ≥ 3 adverse events with SP or XP were neutropenia (18% vs. 29%) and anorexia (16% vs.18%). Subgroup analysis demonstrated significant interaction between treatment effect and performance status > 1 (HR, 0.685; P = 0.036), measurable lesion (HR, 0.709; P = 0.049), primary upper third tumor (HR, 0.539; P = 0.040), and differentiated type (HR, 0.549; interaction, 0.236; P = 0.019). For the differentiated type, OS was significantly longer in the SP group (13.2 months) than in the XP group (11.1 months) (HR, 0.549; P = 0.019). For the undifferentiated type, OS was similar in the SP group (14.2 months) and in the XP group (12.4 months) (HR, 0.868; P = 0.476). CONCLUSIONS: SP and XP were both effective and well tolerated. SP might be suitable for the pathological differentiated subtype of AGC. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The HERBIS-2, HERBIS-4A, and XParTS II trials were registered with UMIN-CTR as UMIN000006105, UMIN000006755, and UMIN000006045, respectively.

A 79-year-old man was scheduled for surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization for rupture. Two weeks before surgery, the patient came to our hospital with a chief complaint of back pain. First, we performed biliary drainage, under the diagnosis of HCC with obstructive jaundice due to haemobilia. Hepatectomy was performed when the patient's condition stabilized. It should be kept in mind that haemobilia may occur after TAE for HCC with bile duct tumor thrombus, and appropriate treatment should be performed when bleeding occurs.

We report a case of colon metastasis from gastric cancer treated by laparoscopic-assisted segmental colectomy. An 81-year-old man was undergone distal gastrectomy, D2 dissection and Billroth â reconstruction for gastric cancer 3 years previously, with a final diagnosis of gastric cancer L, Post, Type 2, sig/por2, pT4a(SE), pN3b(30/56), H0, P0, M0, pStage â ¢C. Three years after gastrectomy, CT scan showed an elevated lesion in the transverse colon, which was suspected to be metastatic colorectal cancer on closer examination. As no metastatic lesions were found other than the tumor of transverse colon, we performed laparoscopic-assisted segmental colon resection. A small incision was placed in the umbilical region, and the transverse colon was extracted from the umbilical region after dissection of the adhesions by single-incision laparoscopic surgery. The transverse colon containing the mass lesion was partially resected extracorporeally and reconstructed with a functional end-to-end anastomosis. The postoperative pathological findings revealed tumor cells predominantly below the submucosal layer and partly showing the signet ring cell carcinoma, and the transvers colon tumor was diagnosed as a metastasis from gastric cancer. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 8 days after surgery, and is alive for 10 months after the segmental colon resection followed by chemotherapy.

We report a case of recurrent esophageal cancer with long-term survival treated by S-1 monotherapy. A 66-year-old man underwent subtotal esophagectomy, two-field lymphadenectomy after 2 courses of DCF chemotherapy for esophageal cancer 1 year earlier. The final diagnosis was esophageal cancer, Lt, CT-Type 2, ypT3, ypN0(0/62), M0, ypStage â ¢. At 6 months after esophagectomy, CT scan revealed mediastinal lymph node metastasis and pleural dissemination, and paclitaxel monotherapy was performed, but lymph node re-enlargement was observed on CT at 12 months after esophagectomy. Chemotherapy with S-1 monotherapy was performed, and 3 months after initiation of S-1 monotherapy, CT showed reduced lymph node metastases and pleural dissemination remained reduced. Adverse events were CTCAE v5.0 Grade 2 thrombocytopenia and diarrhoea, but no Grade 3 or higher adverse events were observed. Long-term survival was achieved with no disease progression for more than 2.5 years after initiation of S-1 monotherapy.

A 50-year-old man presented with fecaluria and was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer with a colovesical fistula. Total bladder resection was determined to be necessary for curative resection at the time of diagnosis. In anticipation of bladder preservation, 6 courses of mFOLFOX6 plus panitumumab were administered after transverse colostomy, resulting in marked tumor regression and a decision to proceed with surgery. The patient underwent robotic-assisted low anterior resection of the rectum and partial cystectomy, which yielded pathological radical treatment. We report a case of sigmoid colon cancer with a colovesical fistula complicated by bladder invasion, in which preoperative chemotherapy was effective and total cystectomy was avoided, allowing bladder preservation.

Here we report the case of a patient with advanced gastric cancer who presented with duodenal intramural metastasis based on the pathological results after surgery. The patient was 78-year-old female, who was referred to our department for further evaluation and treatment of upper abdominal pain. An upper gastrointestinal series demonstrated a tumor occupying the lesser curvature of the gastric body. Biopsy specimens from the tumor demonstrated moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. A computed tomography scan showed thickening of the gastric wall and swelling of the regional lymph nodes. The patient underwent distal gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer. A histopathological examination disclosed that the gastric tumor was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with severe lymphatic permeation and also demonstrated the other poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma occupying the part of the muscularis propria layer of the duodenum. The gastric tumor was not contiguous with the duodenal tumor, and the duodenal cancer cells had the same pathological characteristics as the primary gastric cancer cells; therefore, we diagnosed the duodenal tumor as an intramural metastasis from gastric cancer. The patient's disease was staged as pT4aN3bM1, Stage â £ according to the TNM classification. We report this rare case along with a discussion of the literature.

BACKGROUND: The optimal treatment for liver metastasis from gastric cancer (LMGC) remains uncertain. The relevance of surgical resection is controversial. We conducted a prospective multicenter interventional study of surgical resection for LMGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with synchronous or metachronous LMGC who were surgically fit were registered. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival (OS) of patients who underwent R0 resection. Secondary endpoints were R0 resection rate, operative morbidity and mortality, 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) of R0 patients, and OS in all registered patients. RESULTS: Seventy patients were registered from 24 institutions between December 2011 and November 2019 and received preoperative chemotherapy. Three patients were ineligible, and 19 patients discontinued treatment, with disease progression in 12, adverse events in 4, and consent withdrawal in 3 before surgery. Of the 48 patients eventually undergoing surgery, R0 resection of the primary and/or metastatic GC was accomplished in 43 patients, while 1 patient discontinued treatment for positive peritoneal lavage cytology and 4 patients were considered ineligible based on postoperative pathological findings other than GC. The R0 resection rate of all eligible patients was 68.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 55.3-79.4%, 43/63 patients], while that of all resected patients was 89.6% (95% CI 77.3-96.5%, 43/48 patients). Postoperative complications were identified in 12 out of 43 patients (27.9%), and Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred in seven patients (16.3%). No hospital mortality was observed. CONCLUSIONS: R0 resection for LMGC could be performed in approximately two-thirds of all eligible patients, with acceptable surgical morbidity and mortality.

BACKGROUND: Real-world evidence on the preference for and effectiveness of third- or later-line (3L +) monotherapy for HER2-positive gastric cancer is limited in Japan. This study evaluated the utility of nivolumab, irinotecan, and trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) monotherapy as 3L + treatment in Japanese patients with HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer who were previously treated with trastuzumab. METHODS: In this multicenter, retrospective, observational study (20 centers), data of eligible patients were extracted from medical records (September 22, 2017-March 31, 2020), with follow-up until June 30, 2020. Outcomes included overall survival (OS), real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]), and disease control rate (DCR). RESULTS: Of 127 enrolled patients, the overall analysis population comprised 117 patients (median [range] age, 71 [38-89] years). The most commonly prescribed 3L + monotherapy was nivolumab (n = 100), followed by irinotecan (n = 12) and FTD/TPI (n = 5). The median (95% confidence interval [CI]) OS, rwPFS, and TTF were 6.2 (4.5-8.0), 1.9 (1.5-2.3), and 1.8 (1.5-2.2) months, respectively, at median (range) 150 (25-1007) days of follow-up. The ORR (CR + PR) and DCR were 9.0% (1% + 8%) and 32.0%, respectively. Factors such as higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (≥ 2.54), Glasgow prognostic score (≥ 1), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS; ≥ 2), and hepatic metastasis significantly impacted OS. CONCLUSIONS: The observed OS in this study for HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer was shorter than that reported previously, suggesting that the effectiveness of nivolumab, irinotecan, or FTD/TPI as 3L + therapy may be limited.

A 71-year-old male had repeated resection and transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization(TACE)for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Treatment with lenvatinib was started due to multiple liver recurrences and peritoneal disseminations. Since only the disseminated lesion had increased, it was decided to perform laparoscopic resection. Indocyanine green(ICG) was intravenously injected the day before surgery. Disseminated lesions could be easily detected with intraoperative fluorescence imaging, and we could completely resect disseminated lesions. The ICG fluorescence could be considered to be useful in laparoscopic resection for peritoneal dissemination of HCC.

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV)are typical side effects caused by chemotherapy. We analyzed CINV during first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Thirty-one patients who received first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer were retrospectively assessed for CINV. RESULTS: The median age was 70 years, and the gender(male/female)was 23/8 cases. NK1 receptor antagonist, 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, and dexamethasone were used as antiemetic agents in 29 patients(94%). Sixteen patients(52%)had Grade 1 or higher nausea, and 6 patients (19%)had Grade 1 or higher vomiting, and complete control of nausea and vomiting was achieved in 21 patients(68%). Nausea was significantly more frequent in patients with liver metastasis(p=0.0008), but there was no significant difference in vomiting(p=1.0000). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of CINV between chemotherapy regimens or combination of olanzapine. CONCLUSION: During first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer, 3 antiemetic agents were used in 94% of cases, and the complete control rate of CINV was 67.8%.

We report a case of early gastric cancer with Adachi Type â ¥ vascular anomaly treated by laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. An 81-year-old woman was admitted because of anorexia, and was diagnosed with early gastric cancer. Preoperative MDCT revealed Adachi Type â ¥ vascular anomaly, where the hepatic artery does not appear at the superior border of the pancreas. The patient was treated successfully with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D1+lymph node dissection. At surgery, we identified the portal vein, then, dissection of No. 8a lymph nodes was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 10 days after surgery. The final pathology result showed gastric cancer, M, Less, Type 0-â ¡c+â ¢, 58×50 mm, tub1>pap, pT1a(M), Ly0, V0, pN0(0/40), H0, P0, M0, pStage â A. We understand the arterial running pattern before surgery by using MDCT, and performed laparoscopic surgery safely.

A 60s man was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer(cT4b[PAN], cN+, cM0, cStage â £A). He started first-line chemotherapy consisting of S-1 and cisplatin, but tumor markers remained elevated and CT showed cancer progression. He then started second-line chemotherapy consisting of ramucirumab and paclitaxel. The tumor markers decreased, and CT revealed tumor regression. A distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was performed as conversion surgery. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged early from the hospital. A histological analysis confirmed complete resection of the Grade 1a tumor. The RAM plus PTX regimen was restarted on postoperative day 57. At 15 months postoperative, the patient remained alive and relapse-free.

A 78-year-old man had undergone a laparoscopic sigmoid colon resection; left ureteral resection; and a ureteral reconstruction for sigmoid colon cancer with left ureteral invasion. The patient did not wish to undergo postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and he was followed up at fixed intervals. Six months after surgery, CT revealed peritoneal metastasis and liver metastasis(S6). Considering his advanced age and adverse events, the patient was started on capecitabine plus bevacizumab therapy. The patient was able to continue the treatment, even though he had to suspend and reduce the dose due to adverse events of hand-foot syndrome, and achieved CR by CT after 21 courses of treatment. Chemotherapy was discontinued after 24 courses, CR was maintained for 5 years, and the patient is still alive with no evidence of recurrence.

BACKGROUND: We analyzed the short-term outcomes and nutritional assessment of gastric cancer surgery patients who underwent exercise intervention after gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy at our department from January 2021 were included in the study. Postoperative exercise intervention(lower limb training) was performed in gastric cancer patients aged 75 years or older(group H: 7 patients)and compared retrospectively with gastric cancer patients younger than 75 years(group L: 10 patients)who did not receive exercise intervention. The rate of decrease in each index after 1 week was compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: Postoperative complications(yes/no) were 3/4(42.8%)in group H and 2/8(20.0%)in group L(p=0.59); postoperative hospital stay was 11.5(10.8-21.3) days in group H and 11.0(9.0-14.0)days in group L(p=0.37). The percentage decrease in each index was as follows: for BMI in groups H/L: 2.9/5.6%(p=0.17), grip strength in groups H/L: 2.4/ï¼7.6%(p=0.07), skeletal muscle mass in groups H/L: ï¼2.3/7.0%(p=1.00), PNI in groups H/L: 26.6/18.1%(p=0.12). CONCLUSION: In this study, no significant differences were noted in postoperative complication rates or postoperative hospital stay between groups H and L.

BACKGROUND: Fluorouracil (FU), platinum (PT), and taxane (TAX) therapy was the standard chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) before the era of anti-programmed death-1 antibodies. The aim of this phase II trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of S-1 monotherapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) ESCC resistant or intolerable to FU, PT, and TAX therapy. METHODS: Eligible patients had R/M ESCC; no prior S-1 use; were intolerant or refractory to prior FU, PT, and TAX therapy; aged ⧠20 years; and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 or 1. S-1 was administered orally from days 1 to 28, every 6 weeks until disease progression. The primary endpoint was the disease control rate (DCR) for each patient, assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. Secondary endpoints were overall survival, progression-free survival, time to treatment failure, response rate, and toxicity. RESULTS: Between October 2015 and December 2017, 17 patients were recruited, and the trial was terminated because of slow accrual. The DCR was 46.7%. The response rate was 13.3%. The median progression-free survival was 2.0 months. The median time to treatment failure was 1.9 months. The median overall survival was 8.4 months, and the 1 year overall survival rate was 30.5%. CONCLUSIONS: Although this trial closed early because of slow accrual, we observed modest clinical activity with S-1 in patients with R/M ESCC who could not tolerate or whose tumors were refractory to FU, PT, and TAX therapy.

BACKGROUND: We had previously reported that surgical palliation could maintain quality of life (QOL) while improving solid food intake among patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) caused by advanced gastric cancer. The present study aimed to perform a survival analysis according to the patients' QOL to elucidate its impact on survival. METHODS: Patients with GOO who underwent either palliative gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy were included in this study. A validated QOL instrument (EQ-5D) was used to assess QOL at baseline and 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months following surgical palliation. Postoperative improvement in oral intake was also evaluated using the GOO scoring system (GOOSS). Thereafter, univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to determine independent prognostic factors. RESULTS: The median survival time of the 104 patients included herein was 11.30 months. Patients who received postoperative chemotherapy, PS 0/1, baseline EQ-5D ≥ 0.75, improved or stable EQ-5D, and improved oral intake expressed as GOOSS = 3 had significantly better survival. Multivariate analysis identified postoperative chemotherapy, a better baseline PS, a better baseline EQ5D, improved or stable EQ5D scores, and improved oral intake 3 months after surgical palliation as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: Apart from preoperative PS and postoperative chemotherapy, the present study identified better baseline QOL, improvement in postoperative QOL, and improvement in oral intake as prognostic factors among patients who underwent palliative surgery for advanced gastric cancer with GOO.

BACKGROUND: The prognosis of patients with gastric cancer and positive peritoneal lavage cytology is poor, even after gastrectomy. Though the standard therapy for this population is radical gastrectomy followed by S-1 chemotherapy, treatments vary among institutions and eras. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to investigate the prognostic factors for cytology-positive gastric cancer. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records obtained from 6 institutions, covering 2000-2019. There were 128 patients with positive cytology and no other distant metastases that underwent R1 gastrectomy. Univariate and multivariate analyses to identify prognostic factors for overall survival were conducted using Cox's proportional hazards models. RESULTS: The median overall survival time was 18.6 months. In univariate analyses, age (≥ 80 years vs. < 70 years), performance status (2, 3 vs. 0), prognostic nutritional index (< 35 vs. ≥ 40), the extent of lymphadenectomy (D1 vs. ≥ D2), macroscopic type (type 4 vs. non-type 4), and postoperative chemotherapy (none vs. S-1) were significantly correlated with worse survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis (pN3b vs. pN0, hazard ratio 4.46, 95% confidence interval 1.17-16.9, p = 0.03) and postoperative chemotherapy (none vs. S-1, hazard ratio 2.28, 95% confidence interval 1.16-4.45, p = 0.02) were independent risk factors for death. No postoperative chemotherapy regimen showed a survival benefit over S-1 monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Massive lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor in cytology-positive gastric cancer. Postoperative chemotherapy was also an independent prognostic factor, though the most beneficial regimen was still uncertain.
