Gastric Cancer, Effects of Chemotherapy, Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
Purpose: This aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the modified FOLFOX6(mFOLFOX6) regimen and its impact on survival on a series in local advanced gastric cancer patients. Patients and methods: The study is a prospective non-randomized study. Patients with histopathologically confirmed and locally advanced gastric cancer(T2-T4 or N+) are enrolled in the study. Patients are given mFOLFOX6 scheme for 3 cycles.A radical gastrectomy and a D2 lymphadenectomy was will be scheduled 3-6 weeks after the completion of the preoperative chemotherapy. Down-staging is assessed comparing pretreatment clinical staging with postoperative pathologic staging on patients who underwent radical surgery. Tumor down-staging and the grade of pathologic response are included in a statistical correlation between tumor regression induced by mFOLFOX6 neoadjuvant chemotherapy and survival.The primary endpoint is 3-year overall survival, secondary endpoints are disease-free survival, R0 resection rate, toxicity and prediction of response.
Interventions
oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 and folinic acid 400 mg/m2 are administered intravenously for 2 hours on day 1 following by 5-FU at 2,400 mg/m2 by continuous infusion for 46hours every 2 weeks for 3 cycles before performing surgery
