Brief summary
Although the incidence of gastric cancer has been substantially declining for several decades, it is still the sixth most common cancer and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide. Surgery is still the only curative option for gastric cancer. However, most patients are unable to undergo surgery because of late stage, unresectable disease. The prognosis for these patients is very poor. Although the Magic trial showed that perioperative chemotherapy can increase the rate of curative surgery and significantly improve overall survival in patients with operable gastric or lower esophageal adenocarcinomas, no pCR events were reported in this trial. The intervention arm in PREACT consists of pre-operative chemotherapy, pre-operative radiochemotherapy, surgery and post-operative chemotherapy. The control arm consists of pre-operative chemotherapy, surgery, and post-operative chemotherapy. The primary purpose of PREACT is to investigate whether the addition of radiochemotherapy to chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone in the pre-operative setting in improving disease free survival in patients with locally advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.
Interventions
The dose of S-1 is according to body-surface area (BSA): patients with a BSA of less than 1.25 m2 received 80 mg daily; those with a BSA of 1.25 m2 or more but less than 1.5 m2 received 100 mg daily; and those with a BSA of 1.5 m2 or more received 120 mg daily. oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, intravenously, on day 1.
RADIATIONChemoradiotherapy
Chemotherapy: S-1 40-60mg/m2 orally, oral tablet twice daily, days 1-5 of each week of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy: 45 Gy of radiation in 25 fractions, five days per week for five weeks.
PROCEDUREGastric resection
A standard D2 gastrectomy was recommended. The type of gastrectomy performed depended on the location and extent of the primary lesion. For middle third tumors, the gastric margin was recommended to be more than 5 cm, and a total gastrectomy was performed. For lower third tumors, a 2 cm duodenal margin was recommended and a subtotal or total gastrectomy was considered. For upper third tumors, a 3 cm esophageal margin was recommended and a total gastrectomy or esophagogastrectomy was performed. Billroth I or Roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy was performed for distal gastrectomy patients, Roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy was performed for total gastrectomy patients.
DRUGOxaliplatin
The dose of oxaliplatin is according to body-surface area (BSA): 130mg/m2, intravenously, on day 1.
