Assessment for distal disease CT Thorax/abdomen/pelvis Laparoscopy identifies CT occult metastatic disease
Improve selection of patients for radical Rx
PET can provide additional information regarding local and distal disease less sensitive but more specific than CT2 for local LN metastases limitation ~30% of gastric cancer are non-FDG avid3 potential role for early response assessment to neo-adjuvant Rx

Median OS: 24 v 20 months 5 yr OS: 36% v 23% 13% OS benefit for ECF HR for death 0.75, p=0.009 Pre-op chemo well tolerated (5% did not complete pre-op Rx due to toxicity) No increase in post-op complications

Peri-operative Rx:
Advantages Disadvantages
Increase rate of curative (R0) Risk of disease progression during resection1 by tumour pre-operative treatment downstaging/downsizing Definitive surgery may be delayed if significant toxicity occurs Eradication of micro-metastatic disease Risk of increased peri-operative morbidity - NOT seen in the Demonstrates in vivo chemosensitivity MAGIC2 trial Better tolerated than postoperative therapy MAGIC2 Peri-operative chemotherapy is -91% pts able to complete pre- now standard of care in Europe op Rx -66% of pts able to commence post-op Rx
Observation n=275 Randomised 5-FU/LV Chemoradiation (4500Gy) n=281 Median OS: 27 v 36m HR for death 1.35; p=0.006 Highly selected population (All had R0 resection + recovered from surgery) yet only 64% completed Rx Significant Rx related toxicity: 1% toxic death 73% grade 3/4 AEs
Screening programme in Japan allows detection of disease at an earlier stage S1 efficacy not proven in nonAsian population 3 yr OS: 81.1% v 70.1% HR for death 0.68, p=0.003 Meta-analysis adjuvant Rx2: Despite selected nature of the pt population, benefit of adjuvant chemo is modest (Relative risk of death 0.85, 95% CI 0.80-0.90)
