Mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) status serves as a predictor of a poor response to adjuvant chemotherapy among stage 2 colon cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H gastric cancer (GC).
Clinical studies comparing adjuvant chemotherapy and surgery alone in dMMR/MSI-H GCs through June 2021 were retrieved to assess the survival of patients managed with both treatments. Two approaches were used to pool the hazard ratio (HR) of survival: (1) if Kaplan-Meier curves and number of patients at risk were provided, individual patient data were extracted. Cox models were used to calculate the HR with its 95% confidence interval (CI); (2) for study-level data, pooled HR was estimated using fixed/random-effects models.
Seven clinical studies were assessed. For dMMR/MSI-H versus mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR)/microsatellite stable (MSS)/microsatellite instability-low (MSI-L) status, the estimated 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 74.2% versus 51.5% (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.32-0.62; P < 0.001) and the estimated 5-year OS rate was 60.5% versus 49.1% (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.60-0.85; P < 0.001). The study-level data showed pooled HRs of 0.42 for DFS (95% CI, 0.31-0.57; P < 0.001) and 0.65 for OS (95% CI, 0.38-1.11; P = 0.114). For adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation of dMMR/MSI-H, the estimated 5-year DFS rate was 76.1% versus 73.3% (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.45-1.15; P = 0.171) and the estimated 5-year OS rate was 73.5% versus 59.7% (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.46-0.83; P = 0.001). Significant survival differences also were observed at study level.
The study findings confirm the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for dMMR/MSI-H GC patients.
错配修复缺陷(dMMR)或微卫星不稳定性高(MSI-H)状态可作为预测 II 期结直肠癌患者对辅助化疗反应不良的指标。本研究旨在探讨辅助化疗在 dMMR/MSI-H 胃癌(GC)中的疗效。
检索截至 2021 年 6 月比较 dMMR/MSI-H GC 患者接受辅助化疗与单纯手术的临床研究,评估接受两种治疗方法患者的生存情况。采用两种方法汇总生存的风险比(HR):(1)如果提供了 Kaplan-Meier 曲线和患者风险人数,则提取个体患者数据。使用 Cox 模型计算 HR 及其 95%置信区间(CI);(2)对于研究水平的数据,使用固定/随机效应模型估计汇总 HR。
评估了 7 项临床研究。对于 dMMR/MSI-H 与错配修复功能正常(pMMR)/微卫星稳定(MSS)/微卫星不稳定性低(MSI-L)状态,估计的 5 年无病生存率(DFS)分别为 74.2%和 51.5%(HR,0.44;95%CI,0.32-0.62;P<0.001),估计的 5 年总生存率(OS)分别为 60.5%和 49.1%(HR,0.71;95%CI,0.60-0.85;P<0.001)。研究水平的数据显示 DFS 的汇总 HR 为 0.42(95%CI,0.31-0.57;P<0.001),OS 的汇总 HR 为 0.65(95%CI,0.38-1.11;P=0.114)。对于 dMMR/MSI-H 的辅助化疗与观察,估计的 5 年 DFS 率分别为 76.1%和 73.3%(HR,0.72;95%CI,0.45-1.15;P=0.171),估计的 5 年 OS 率分别为 73.5%和 59.7%(HR,0.62;95%CI,0.46-0.83;P=0.001)。在研究水平上也观察到显著的生存差异。
研究结果证实了辅助化疗对 dMMR/MSI-H GC 患者的益处。
