EVALUATION OF DISEASE-FREE SURVIVAL IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRIC CANCER RECEIVING ADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY WITH CAPOX REGIMEN AT VIET DUC FRIENDSHIP HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate disease free survival in patient treated with CAPOX regimen for gastric cancer at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital. Subjects and methods: A descriptive study with longitudinal follow-up of 65 patients with stage IB-III gastric cancer who underwent radical surgery and received chemotherapy with CAPOX regimen at Viet Duc Hospital. Results: The average age of patients was 58.3 years, the group over 60 years old accounted for 50.7%, 6.2% of patients were under 40 years old (4/65). Male patients accounted for 75.4%. Tumors in the pyloric antrum were 78.5%. Patients in stage IIIB accounted for the highest proportion (23.1%), stage IIB (21.5%) and IIIA (20.0%). 78.5% of patients underwent gastrectomy; 58.5% of patients underwent extended D2 lymphadenectomy. 69.2% of patients received adjuvant chemotherapy 4-6 weeks after surgery. The mean disease-free survival was 49.4 ± 3.2 months. The 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 66.2% and 47.7%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival rate in the moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma group (70.2%) was statistically significantly higher than that in the poorly differentiated (44.8%) and signet ring cell (41.1%) cancer groups. The 5-year disease-free survival rate in the group without neurovascular invasion was statistically significantly higher than that in the group with neurovascular invasion (p=0.002); The difference in disease-free survival between disease stages according to TMN classification was statistically significant; specifically, as the disease stage progressed, the 5-year survival rate decreased (p<0.001). Conclusion: The CAPOX adjuvant chemotherapy regimen showed effectiveness in patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical surgery, especially patients with stage II and III disease.
