Abstract 5908
Background
Gastric and GEJ cancers are one of the top four cancers in India with poor 5-year survival. Post ASCO 2017, we switched to docetaxel-based peri-operative chemotherapy (FLOT) which is the new standard of care. In this audit, we report the pathological response and toxicity of FLOT compared to our older standard (EOX/ECF).
Methods
We analysed our database of 118 patients with gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated at our center from May 2011 to April 2019. 85 patients (72%) received perioperative chemotherapy with three pre-operative and three post-operative 3-week cycles of either EOX (50mg/m2 Epirubicin and 130mg/m2 Oxaliplatin on Day 1 plus 1250mg/m2 Capecitabine for 21 days) or ECF (50mg/m2 Epirubicin and 60mg/m2 Cisplatin on Day 1 plus 800mg/m2/day Fluorouracil as continuous intravenous infusion for 5 days). 33 patients (28%) received four pre-operative and four post-operative 2-week cycles of intravenous FLOT (50mg/m2 Docetaxel, 85mg/m2 Oxaliplatin, 200mg/m2 Leucovorin and 2600mg/m2 Fluorouracil as 24hr infusion on Day 1). We compared the toxicity, and pathological tumor response rates of patients on EOX/ECF and FLOT regimens.
Results
The patients were aged 30 to 73 years (Median 58 years) and 40 (34%) were women. 85 patients received either EOX/ECF and 33 received FLOT chemotherapy. 64 (75%) patients in EOX/ECF underwent gastrectomy among whom eight (12.5%) had pathological Tumour Regression Score (TRS) of 0 or 1. 24 (72%) patients in FLOT group have undergone gastrectomy of whom six (25%) had TRS of 0 or 1. 34 (40%) patients completed full EOX/ECF regimen while 20 (60%) completed full FLOT. The commonest reason for not completing the peri-operative chemotherapy was toxicity in EOX/ECF group (29%) and refusal to undergo surgery (21%) in the FLOT group. 15% patients did not complete FLOT chemotherapy due to toxicity.
Conclusions
FLOT regimen is a better tolerated perioperative therapy in Indian patients achieving higher pathological response compared to EOX/ECF regimen. The patients in both groups are currently on follow up to capture the relapse free survival duration.
