Modified ypTNM Staging Classification for Gastric Cancer after Neoadjuvant Therapy: A Multi-Institutional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The benefits of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) are increasingly recognized. The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual first proposed ypTNM staging, but its accuracy is controversial. This study aims to develop a modified ypTNM staging.

Patients and methods

Clinicopathological data of 1,791 patients who underwent curative-intent gastrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, as the development cohort, were retrospectively analyzed. Modified ypTNM staging was established based on overall survival (OS). We compared the prognostic performance of the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging and the modified staging for patients after neoadjuvant therapy.

Results

In the development cohort, the 5-year OS for AJCC stages I, II, and III was 58.8%, 39.1%, and 21.6%, respectively, compared with 69.9%, 54.4%, 34.4%, 24.1%, and 13.6% for modified ypTNM stages IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB. The modified staging had better discriminatory ability (C-index: 0.620 vs. 0.589, p < .001), predictive homogeneity (likelihood ratio chi-square: 140.71 vs. 218.66, p < .001), predictive accuracy (mean difference in Bayesian information criterion: 64.94; net reclassification index: 35.54%; integrated discrimination improvement index: 0.032; all p < .001), and model stability (time-dependent receiver operating characteristics curves) over AJCC. Decision curve analysis showed that the modified staging achieved a better net benefit than AJCC. In external validation (n =?266), the modified ypTNM staging had superior prognostic predictive power (all p < .05).

Conclusion

We have developed and validated a modified ypTNM staging through multicenter data that is superior to the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging, allowing more accurate assessment of the prognosis of patients with GC after neoadjuvant therapy.

Implications for practice

The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual first proposed ypTNM staging, but its accuracy is controversial. Based on multi-institutional data, this study developed a modified ypTNM staging, which is superior to the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging, allowing more accurate assessment of the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to evaluate preoperative treatment with full-dose gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and radiation therapy (RT) in patients with localized pancreatic cancer.Eligibility included confirmation of adenocarcinoma, resectable or borderline resectable disease, a performance status ?2, and adequate organ function. Treatment consisted of two 28-day cycles of gemcitabine (1 g/m(2) over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15) and oxaliplatin (85 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 15) with RT during cycle 1 (30 Gray [Gy] in 2-Gy fractions). Patients were evaluated for surgery after cycle 2. Patients who underwent resection received 2 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy.Sixty-eight evaluable patients received treatment at 4 centers. By central radiology review, 23 patients had resectable disease, 39 patients had borderline resectable disease, and 6 patients had unresectable disease. Sixty-six patients (97%) completed cycle 1 with RT, and 61 patients (90%) completed cycle 2. Grade ?3 adverse events during preoperative therapy included neutropenia (32%), thrombocytopenia (25%), and biliary obstruction/cholangitis (14%). Forty-three patients underwent resection (63%), and complete (R0) resection was achieved in 36 of those 43 patients (84%). The median overall survival was 18.2 months (95% confidence interval, 13-26.9 months) for all patients, 27.1 months (95% confidence interval, 21.2-47.1 months) for those who underwent resection, and 10.9 months (95% confidence interval, 6.1-12.6 months) for those who did not undergo resection. A decrease in CA 19-9 level after neoadjuvant therapy was associated with R0 resection (P = .02), which resulted in a median survival of 34.6 months (95% confidence interval, 20.3-47.1 months). Fourteen patients (21%) are alive and disease free at a median follow-up of 31.4 months (range, 24-47.6 months).Preoperative therapy with full-dose gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and RT was feasible and resulted in a high percentage of R0 resections. The current results are particularly encouraging, because the majority of patients had borderline resectable disease.
