OBJECTIVES: Resectable GC/GEJC treatment patterns in the real-world are poorly described; this study describes treatments/outcomes for US patients.
METHODS: Data from patients diagnosed with ≥T2, N0-3, and M0, or T0-4, N1-3, and M0, GC/GEJC between January-01-2016 and October-31-2022 were retrospectively analyzed from the Flatiron Gastric database.
RESULTS: 901 GC and 816 GEJC patients were included, median age was 68.0 and 69.0 years, and 62.4% and 83.3% were male, respectively. Most patients had adenocarcinoma (GC: n=877 [97.3%]; GEJC: n=789 [96.7%]). Of 641 (71.1%) and 391 (47.9%) GC and GEJC patients receiving surgery, 100 (15.6%) and 274 (70.1%) received neoadjuvant treatment only, 169 (26.4%) and 22 (5.6%) adjuvant treatment only, 160 (25.0%) and 68 (17.4%) neoadjuvant+adjuvant treatment, and 212 (33.1%) and 27 (6.9%) no perioperative treatment, respectively. For GC patients, FLOT was the most common neoadjuvant treatment (neoadjuvant-only: n=43 [43.0%]; neoadjuvant+adjuvant: n=86 [53.8%]); the most common adjuvant treatments were FLOT (neoadjuvant+adjuvant: n=69 [43.1%]) and chemoradiotherapy (adjuvant-only: n=67 [39.6%]). Among GEJC patients, chemoradiotherapy was the most common neoadjuvant treatment (neoadjuvant-only: n=182 [66.4%]; neoadjuvant+adjuvant: n=46 [67.6%]); the most common adjuvant treatments were chemoradiotherapy (adjuvant-only: n=12 [54.5%]) and nivolumab (neoadjuvant+adjuvant: n=31 [45.6%]). Median (95% CI) event-free survival (EFS) for GC and GEJC patients, respectively, was 34.7 (27.5-42.3) and 22.0 (17.9-25.6) months for patients who received/had surgery planned, and 15.2 (13.0-18.6) and 21.0 (17.6-22.6) months for non-surgical patients; overall survival (OS) was 50.9 (43.7-62.4) and 38.6 (31.4-47.2) months for patients who received/had surgery planned, and 15.4 (13.1-18.6) and 21.0 (17.6-22.6) months for non-surgical patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Few patients received neoadjuvant+adjuvant treatment; over one-third of GC patients had not received any perioperative treatment. Among patients who had surgery/surgery planned, median EFS and OS were <3 and <5 years, with poorer outcomes for non-surgical patients, highlighting the need to optimize treatments to improve long-term outcomes.
