Surgical resection with S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is the standard of care for stage II-III gastric cancer (GC). However, it is unclear if time to initiation and duration of S-1 AC impact on survival.
A multi-institutional GC database identified 498 patients who were treated with S-1 AC after D2 or more extended radical surgery for stage II-III gastric cancer. Patients were divided into four groups according to the interval between surgery and initiation of AC and the duration of AC as follows: group A (n = 226), who received AC earlier (≤6 weeks) and for longer (≥6 months) after surgery; group B (n = 160), who received AC later (>6 weeks) and for longer after surgery; group C (n = 46), who received AC earlier but for a shorter period (<6 months) after surgery; and group D (n = 66), who received AC later and for a shorter period after surgery. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were investigated using multivariate analysis.
The 5-year OS was 69.5%. Pathological stage II disease (hazard ratio (HR), 0.334; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.215-0.499), with an OS of 85.8% versus 60.5% for stage III disease, as well as a longer duration (≥6 months) of S-1 (HR, 0.498; 95% CI, 0.355-0.706), with an OS of 74.3% versus 53.0% for a shorter duration (<6 months) of S-1, were identified as significant prognostic factors for long-term survival. Time to initiation was not associated with OS.
A duration of S-1 AC of ≥6 months, but not time to initiation within 6 weeks, impacts on OS in stage II-III gastric cancer.
对于 II-III 期胃癌(GC),手术切除联合 S-1 辅助化疗(AC)是标准治疗方法。然而,S-1 AC 的起始时间和持续时间是否影响生存尚不清楚。
一个多机构的 GC 数据库纳入了 498 例接受 D2 或更广泛的根治性手术后,接受 S-1 AC 治疗的 II-III 期胃癌患者。根据手术后开始 AC 的时间间隔和 AC 的持续时间,将患者分为四组:A 组(n=226),接受更早(≤6 周)和更长(≥6 个月)的 AC;B 组(n=160),接受更晚(>6 周)和更长的 AC;C 组(n=46),接受更早但更短(<6 个月)的 AC;D 组(n=66),接受更晚和更短的 AC。使用多变量分析研究总生存(OS)的预后因素。
5 年 OS 为 69.5%。病理分期 II 期疾病(风险比(HR),0.334;95%置信区间(CI),0.215-0.499),OS 为 85.8%,而 III 期疾病为 60.5%,以及 S-1 更长的持续时间(≥6 个月)(HR,0.498;95%CI,0.355-0.706),OS 为 74.3%,而 S-1 较短的持续时间(<6 个月)为 53.0%,被确定为长期生存的显著预后因素。起始时间与 OS 无关。
S-1 AC 的持续时间≥6 个月,但 6 周内开始时间不影响 II-III 期胃癌的 OS。
