GASTRIC meta-analysis on individual data: Survival OS, CT + surgery OS, surgery alone DFS, CT + surgery DFS, surgery alone Survival proportion 77% of the recurrences occurred during the first 3 years OS HR = 0.81 95% CI = 0.74-0.87 p = 0.03 Follow-up (years) Gastric cancer meta-analysis.

But adjuvant chemotherapy (radiotherapy) cannot be administered to all patients… 50 - 70% may receive adjuvant treatment but tolerance is poor: - Treatment delays - Dose reductions - Early termination Surgery “in the Real life” BUT: - Delayed surgical recovery - Poor food intake - Dumping syndrome - Poor performance status - Treatment refusal ~30 - 50%? Interest of pre/peri-operative treatment in resectable but infiltrating tumor
Rationale for peri-operative or pre-operative chemotherapy • To offer chemotherapy treatment to a larger number of patients • To downsize/downstage the tumor • To facilitate the surgery • To decrease the risk of local recurrence and distant metastasis • To increase the overall survival • To offer a better safety profile and treatment tolerability • To offer a more effective treatment (compliance)

Comparison between adjuvant and pre/perioperative treatment Modified from Philippe Rougier
Pre/perioperative treatment – Take home messages • Feasible and safe • Compliance: 90% preoperative, 50-70% post-operative • Significantly downstage/downsize the tumor and increase R0 resections • Does not increase perioperative morbidity and mortality • Significantly improves OS (13% at 5-yr in the largest studies)
MAGIC – B – STO-03 Randomised ECX Repeated every 21 days for 3cycles ECX + Bevacizumab Repeated every 21 days for 3cycles Surgery 5 wk break from last pre-op chemo (8 wk break from last bevacizumab) 6-10 wk break before post-op chemo ECX Repeated every 21 days for 3cycles ECX + Bevacizumab Repeated every 21 days for 3cycles Maintenance Bevacizumab Every 21 days for 6 doses
