To determine the association between sarcopenia and prognosis in patients with metastatic gastric cancer (mGC) receiving chemotherapy.
Our study retrospectively evaluated 231 consecutive Japanese patients with mGC who commenced first-line chemotherapy at our Institution between January 2013 and December 2015. Muscle loss during chemotherapy was defined as a ≥10% reduction in the skeletal muscle index and was evaluated for its association with time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS).
Of 118 patients, 89% had baseline sarcopenia and 31% developed muscle loss. Muscle loss was significantly associated with shorter TTF and OS and was an independent prognostic factor for both these parameters; poor performance status and poorer differentiation on histology were also significant predictors of shorter OS. However, muscle loss was not significantly associated with increased grade 3 or higher toxicities.
Muscle loss during chemotherapy negatively affected survival among patients with mGC.
确定接受化疗的转移性胃癌(mGC)患者中肌肉减少症与预后之间的关联。
我们的研究回顾性评估了2013年1月至2015年12月期间在我院开始一线化疗的231例连续的日本mGC患者。化疗期间的肌肉损失定义为骨骼肌指数降低≥10%,并评估其与治疗失败时间(TTF)和总生存期(OS)的关联。
在118例患者中,89%有基线肌肉减少症,31%出现肌肉损失。肌肉损失与较短的TTF和OS显著相关,并且是这两个参数的独立预后因素;体能状态差和组织学上分化较差也是较短OS的显著预测因素。然而,肌肉损失与3级或更高毒性增加无显著关联。
化疗期间的肌肉损失对mGC患者的生存有负面影响。
