Background: A pathologic complete response (pCR) can sometimes be induced by intensive or long-term neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). This prognostic research study based on a systematic review of the literature evaluated the impact of a pCR on the long-term survival of gastric cancer (GC) patients.
Methods: Articles were extracted from PubMed and the Japanese medical search engine "Ichu-shi," using the terms "GC," "NAC," and "pCR." Articles were selected based on the following criteria: (1) full-text case report, (2) R0 resection following NAC for locally advanced GC, and (3) pathological complete response in both the primary stomach and in the lymph nodes. A questionnaire regarding the patients' prognoses was sent to the corresponding authors of the articles selected in July 2013.
Results: Twenty-four articles met the criteria. Twenty authors responded to the questionnaire. Finally, 22 patients from 20 articles were entered into the present study. The median follow-up time (range) of the survivors was 76 (range 13-161) months. Tumors that were stage III/IV (86%: 19/22) and of an undifferentiated histology (61.9%: 13/21) were dominant. An S1-based regimen was frequently selected for the NAC. All patients underwent R0 resection and D2/D3 lymphadenectomy. The overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates at 3 and 5 years were 96% and 85% and 91% and 75%, respectively.
Conclusions: Although a pCR was a relatively rare event, a high pCR rate would be helpful to select the regimen and courses of NAC, especially when the pathological response rates are similar.
