Cumulative total S-1 dose in adjuvant chemotherapy affects the long-term outcome following curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: A recent JCOG1104, OPAS-1 trial revealed the significance of S-1 duration. However, the significance of cumulative total S-1 dose (CTSD) remains unclear. In this study, we designed to evaluate the prognostic effect of CTSD on adjuvant chemotherapy after curative gastrectomy. We retrospectively analyzed 77 consecutive pStage II and III gastric cancer (GC) patients, who underwent curative gastrectomy followed by adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy from 2008 through 2014. CTSD of 20000 mg was the upper-limit of cut-off value to stratify the prognosis (5-year relapse free survival (RFS); CTSD < 20000 mg vs. CTSD ≥ 20000 mg: 51.9% vs. 85.1%, P = 0.004). Compared patients with CTSD more than 20000 mg, those with CTSD less than 20000 mg had a significantly higher rate of preoperative anemia (P = 0.041), low nutrition (P = 0.008) and open gastrectomy (P = 0.012). Multivariate Cox's proportional hazards model for RFS proved that CTSD less than 20000 mg was an independent prognostic factor [P = 0.031, HR 3.32 (95% CI: 1.11-11.1)] although S-1 intensity and duration were not independent prognostic factors. The cumulative total S-1 dose more than 20000 mg might contribute to better prognosis.

Project description:Simple Summary Adjuvant chemotherapy regimens tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S-1) and capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) have predominated, owing to evidence of their remarkable oncologic outcomes, however, there has been a lack of studies on the difference in efficacy between the two regimens. We conducted pairwise meta-analyses comparing the efficacy of S-1 and CAPOX regimens for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in stage II or III gastric cancer patients. In all stages (stages II and III), the five-year OS was not different between the two regimens (hazard ratio [HR] 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–1.17; p = 0.56). Additionally, the five-year DFS was not different at any stage (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.85–1.18; p = 0.21). The present meta-analysis showed that five-year OS and DFS for stage II or III gastric cancer patients were comparable between the S-1 and CAPOX adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. Abstract Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) regimens tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S-1) and capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) have predominated, however, there has been a lack of studies on their differences in efficacy. Methods: We conducted pairwise meta-analyses comparing the efficacy of S-1 and CAPOX regimens for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in stage II or III GC patients. Results: Three studies were enrolled and analyzed using a forest plot for meta-analysis. Two of them were propensity score matching studies, and the remaining one was a retrospective observational study. In all stages, the five-year OS was not different between the two regimens (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.78–1.17; p = 0.56). Additionally, the 5-year DFS was not different at any stage (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.85–1.18; p = 0.21). After omitting the retrospective observational study, the five-year OS (HR 1.40, 95% CI 0.53–3.73) and DFS (HR 1.41, 95% CI 0.57–3.44) of S-1 tended to be better in stage II, and the five-year OS (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.56–1.16) and DFS (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.63–1.13) of CAPOX tended to be better in stage III, without statistical significance. Conclusions: In the present meta-analysis, the five-year OS and DFS for stage II or III GC patients were comparable between S-1 and CAPOX regimens as AC.
