Abstract |
In this retrospective study, we analyzed prognostic factors associated with survival outcomes in 73 locally advanced gastric cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgical resection. Median disease-free survival (DFS) for 64 patients that received R0 resection was 685 days, whereas median overall survival (OS) for 73 patients was 930 days. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that post-treatment nodal stages (P = 0.002), nervous invasion (P = 0.0492) and serum CA199 levels (P = 0.0398) were independent prognostic factors for DFS. Nodal stages (P = 0.0007), presence of nervous invasion (P = 0.0259) and non-radical resection (P = 0.0165) were independent prognostic factors for OS. These results indicate that post-treatment nodal stages, neural invasion and serum CA199 levels are all associated with poor DFS. Moreover, post-treatment nodal stage, resection type and neural invasion status are independent prognostic factors for OS.
