Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the clinical indications and prognostic significance of surgical interventions after chemotherapy using trastuzumab-containing regimens for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC).
Methods: A total of 146 patients with AGC who underwent chemotherapy were enrolled in this retrospective study. Tumors with an immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 3 + or an IHC score of 2 + plus fluorescence in situ hybridization positivity were defined as HER2-positive AGC. We devised a scoring system for predicting prognosis associated with conversion surgery.
Results: Thirty-three patients received trastuzumab-based chemotherapy for HER2-positive tumors. Multivariate analyses identified advanced age, peritoneal dissemination, histologically undifferentiated tumors, and tumor response of progressive disease as independent prognostic factors for a worse prognosis. Twelve patients with HER2-positive AGC underwent conversion surgery. The conversion surgery group of patients with HER2-positive AGC had a better prognosis than the chemotherapy-alone group. A prognostic scoring system based on age, peritoneal dissemination, and histological type was significantly correlated with the presence or absence of conversion surgery and the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive AGC.
Conclusions: Our scoring system has the clinical potential to predict prognosis associated with conversion surgery after trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy for patients with HER2-positive AGC.
