Abstract 1460P
Background
Nearly half of patients (pts) with esophagogastric cancer (EGC) treated with curative intent experience disease recurrence. Survival is poor and palliative systemic therapy (ST) offers limited benefit. Thus far, it is unknown whether the effectiveness of treatment with curative intent is associated with the outcomes of first-line ST.
Methods
Pts with metachronous metastatic EGC initially treated for nonmetastatic disease (2015–2017) with i) neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and resection (nCRT), ii) perioperative chemotherapy (PC), iii) definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT), and subsequently with first-line ST, were identified from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Effectiveness of curative treatment was assessed by the time to treatment failure (TTF, above or below the median), and, if applicable by pathological response (complete/subtotal or partial/no). Outcomes of first-line ST were assessed by TTF and overall survival (OS) from start of first-line ST. Associations were analyzed using Kaplan Meier curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.
Results
We identified 468 pts. Pts in the nCRT (n=275) and PC group (n=81) with a TTF of the curative treatment longer than the median TTF, had a significantly longer first-line TTF, which also translated into a longer OS for pts in the nCRT group: 5.8 vs 8.6 months (HR 1.39 95% CI 1.08-1.80; Table). Outcomes of first-line ST were not significantly different between pts with good or poor pathological response in the nCRT and PC group. TTF of dCRT (n=112) was not associated with outcomes of first line ST. Table: 1460P

Conclusions
We demonstrated a positive correlation between the effectiveness of nCRT and PC and outcomes of first-line ST. When discussing the effectiveness of first-line ST with metachronous metastatic EGC pts, the time to recurrence after curative treatment may be an important consideration, while this may not be applicable for pathological response.
