90 Background: Survival benefit of adjuvant S-1 monotherapy among East Asian patients with stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) has been demonstrated by the ACTS-GC trial. Little is known about the changes in prognostic factors and recurrence patterns after it has become widespread as a standard of care. Methods: We enrolled 171 patients with stage II/III GC, 92 patients who underwent gastrectomy alone, and 79 patients treated with S-1 adjuvant. To balance more strictly the essential variables including stage of progression, we conducted propensity score analysis and 70 pairs of patients were generated from each group. Prognostic factors were compared between the groups and initial recurrence patterns were investigated to explore reasons for the change. Results: In concordance with the previous phase 3 trial, overall and recurrence-free survival were better for the S-1 adjuvant group. In the surgery alone group, carcinoembryonic antigen > 5 ng/mL, total gastrectomy, vessel invasion, pT4, and stage 3 were identified as significant prognostic factors. In striking contrast, macroscopic tumor size > 50 mm was the only significant prognostic factor for the S-1 adjuvant group. The lower overall recurrence rate of the S-1 adjuvant group was attributable mainly to a significant decrease of peritoneal recurrence. Conclusions: Prognostic factors changed substantially after implementation of S-1 adjuvant treatment. Macroscopic tumor size should be considered for patient stratification and selection of treatment options for patients with stage II/III GC.

PurposeTo characterize clinical features and identify baseline prognostic factors for survival in young adults with advanced gastric cancer (YAAGC).Materials and MethodsA total of 220 young inpatients (age less than or equal to 40 years) with an initial diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer were retrospectively enrolled in this study.ResultsOf a consecutive cohort of 220 patients with YAAGC, the median overall survival (OS) time was 16.3 months. One-year survival rate was 43.6% (95% CI: 36.5 to 50.7). In this cohort, a female (71.4%, n = 157) predominance and a number of patients with poorly differentiated tumors (95.9%, n = 211) were observed. In the univariate analysis, OS was significantly associated with neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (≥3.12), hypoproteinemia (<40 g/L), presence of peritoneal or bone metastases, and previous gastrectomy of primary tumor or radical gastrectomy. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, hypoproteinemia [hazard ratio (HR) 1.522, 95% CI 1.085 to 2.137, p = 0.015] and high NLR level (HR 1.446, 95% CI 1.022 to 2.047, p = 0.021) were two independent poor prognostic factors, while previous radical gastrectomy was associated with a favorable OS (HR 0.345, 95% CI 0.205 to 0.583, p = 0.000). A three-tier prognostic index was constructed dividing patients into good-, intermediate-, or poor-risk groups. Median OS for good-, intermediate-, and poor-risk groups was 36.43, 17.87, and 11.27 months, respectively.ConclusionsThree prognostic factors were identified, and a three-tier prognostic index was devised. The reported prognostic index may aid clinical decision-making, patient risk stratification, and planning of future clinical studies on YAAGC.
