Duration of Perioperative Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: A “Less Is More” Question When ypN0 Is Achieved

BackgroundsPerioperative chemotherapy (PEC) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have become a vital part of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) treatment, but the optimal duration of PEC has not been studied.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the possibility of duration reduction in PEC in the adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) phase for ypN0 patients.MethodsWe included LAGC patients who achieved ypN0 after NAC in our institution from 2005 to 2018.

Multivariate Cox regression revealed that both AC (AC vs. non-AC: HR, 0.49; 95%CI, 0.27–0.88; p = 0.018) and ypT stages (ypT3-4 vs. ypT0-2: HR, 2.00; 95%CI, 1.11–3.59; p = 0.021) were significant protective/risk factors on patients OS and PFS.
