295 Background: Several biomarkers based on serum chemistry have been reported to be associated with the prognosis of several types of cancers. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative mGPS and NLR after curative resection for gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 295 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for primary gastric cancer at our institution from January 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled in this study. The mGPS was calculated by CRP and Alb using standard thresholds ( > 0.5 mg/dL for CRP and < 3.5 g/dL for Alb). The NLR was defined as absolute neutrophil count divided by absolute lymphocyte count. The survival curves of patients stratified by each parameter were plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to select parameters independently correlated with prognosis. Results: The median follow-up time was 36.7 months, and 29 patients died during follow-up. The estimated 5-year survival rate was 83.1%. Results from the univariate analyses showed mGPS2 (CRP > 0.5 mg/dL and Alb < 3.5 g/dL) was associated with poor survival while NLR and NLRc was not (P < 0.001, P = 0.506, and P = 0.423, respectively). In the multivariate analyses, the mGPS2 was identified as an independent predictive factor for OS in gastric cancer patients after curative resection (HR: 2.624; 95% CI: 1.058-6.505; P = 0.037). Conclusions: Preoperative mGPS2 was associated with worse survival after curative resection of gastric cancer patients. Based on our study, those with mPGS2 may be warranted to receive additional therapy or nutritional support to acquire better survival.

We aimed to determine the frequency and clinical significance of ascites that developed during the follow-up period in patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer. The study included 577 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy. Among them, 184 showed ascites in postoperative follow-up images. Benign ascites was observed in 131 of 490 patients without recurrence, 48 patients (of 87) with recurrence had malignancy-related ascites, and the remaining 5 patients had ascites only prior to recurrence. In most patients without recurrence (97.7%) and in 50% of patients with malignancy-related ascites, the ascites was small in volume and located in the pelvic cavity at the time that it was first identified. However, with the exception of nine patients, malignancy-related pelvic ascites occurred simultaneously or after obvious recurrence. Of those nine patients who had minimal pelvic ascites before obvious recurrence, only one had a clear association with a malignancy-related ascites. In the multivariate analysis, an age of ≤45 was the only independent risk factor for the occurrence of benign ascites. A small volume of pelvic ascites fluid is common in young gastric cancer patients who do not have recurrence after gastrectomy, regardless of sex. It is rare for ascites to be the first manifestation of recurrence.
