Conversion surgery is a surgery with a purpose of R0 resection in primary advanced gastric cancer (GC) that responded well to systemic chemotherapy. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of conversion surgery for advanced GC.
A total of 618 advanced GC patients receiving systemic chemotherapy were stratified into low-, moderate- and high-risk groups based on a nomogram-predicted probability of overall survival. The survival of conversion surgery and chemotherapy alone groups was compared using the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis after propensity score matching (PSM).
A nomogram with good discrimination (concordance index: 0.65) and accurate calibration was constructed. After PSM, the median survival time (MST) of conversion surgery was 26.80 months, compared with 16.60 months of chemotherapy alone (P<0.001). Conversion surgery was associated with a longer MST for patients in the low-risk group (30.40 months. 20.90 months, P=0.013), whereas it was not associated with prolonged survival in the moderate- and high-risk groups (P=0.221 and P=0.131, respectively).
Conversion surgery was associated with longer survival, especially for low-risk population.
转化手术是一种旨在对系统化疗反应良好的原发性晚期胃癌(GC)进行R0切除的手术。本研究旨在探讨晚期GC转化手术的疗效。
将618例接受系统化疗的晚期GC患者根据列线图预测的总生存概率分为低、中、高风险组。在倾向得分匹配(PSM)后,使用对数秩检验和Cox回归分析比较转化手术组和单纯化疗组的生存率。
构建了一个具有良好区分度(一致性指数:0.65)和准确校准的列线图。PSM后,转化手术组的中位生存时间(MST)为26.80个月,而单纯化疗组为16.60个月(P<0.001)。转化手术与低风险组患者更长的MST相关(30.40个月对20.90个月,P=0.013),而在中风险组和高风险组中与生存期延长无关(分别为P=0.221和P=0.131)。
转化手术与更长的生存期相关,尤其是对于低风险人群。
