Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
relative dose intensity (RDI) of S-1 in adjuvant chemotherapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. RDI of postoperative adjuvant therapy in the S-1 monotherapy group. 2. RDI of postoperative adjuvant therapy in the DS therapy group (S-1). 3. RDI of postoperative adjuvant therapy in the DS therapy group (DTX). 4. Percentage of body weight loss at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative weight. 5. Nutritional status evaluation (using blood biochemistry tests (serum albumin, lymphocyte count, PNI, mGPS, CONUT score) (3, 6, and 12 months after surgery). 6. Changes in lean body mass in body composition (3, 6, and 12 months after surgery). 7. Postoperative quality of life (QOL) assessment using PGSAS-37 and EORTC-QLQ C30 (3, 6, and 12 months after surgery). 8. Overall survival, recurrence-free survival.
